I got a wild hair and mowed the yard this afternoon. Well, part of the yard. Ain’t no way I’m dragging a push mower up the hilly yard. But the flat part around the house is mowed and that’s the important thing. 🆒 ---

**big kitty** , urgent care? :eek: I like my cheeseburgers medium rare if it’s freshly ground meat and cooked through if otherwise. Toppings vary, but my favorite is pepper jack cheese, guac, tomato (if it;s home grown), crisp lettuce and bacon. I’m not a big french fry person, but slaw, a salad, onion rings or tots on the side are good. I got some irk done on my newish project today and have come up with a plan to reduce some of the research involved on a monthly basis. ---

Howdy Y’all! Home from men’s night over to the church house. We had a good crowd and a good time was had by all, except somebody ate my steak. OYKW and I both had tbones. He got his off the grill and I went inside to get a plate to get mine off the grill except it was not there. Instead there was this charbroiled inedible lump of WTH. I did not make a scene but next time will watch every single person take steaks off the grill. Also, this happened to me in July as well. :mad: **{{{Taters}}}** ::tacklehug:: LTNS! ---

Burger – charred on the outside with cheese, bacon, mushrooms and horseradish sauce. Cheeses can vary from the usual American to chedder to Swiss to whatever happens to be handy. ---

I keep my burgers pretty plain. Meat (must be well-done, I can’t stand the texture of less-cooked ground beef), cheese (provolone or muenster work well IMO), maybe some dill pickle slices and/or ketchup. Bacon is a worthy addition if available. ---

The towers of the desk are done and I’m moving them into the house to make room to refinish the last part; the topper and main desk. So far its all coming put better than I expected.

Shirtless Guy is staying with me and my roommate again for a few days. I don’t remember the last time I saw him with a shirt on. Haha 🙂 I’d be having a pretty good day so far today if the noisy neighbour wasn’t making a hell of a lot of noise right now. ☹ He’s using some sort of very loud cleaning device or some similar sort of loud electric outdoor thingy. Ugh. ---

Mowing the lawn is now planned for about an hour from now. Slept in till 8 AM, so should get through it without needing a nap…then soccer practice for the 10U boys in the afternoon. Also need bread and hamburger buns to get me to the end of the month. Otherwise the weather is good, finances are stable, and my hair (such as I have remaining) is slightly grayer. Such is life. ---

I iz so smart. I’m a liberrian with 30 years experience but I’ve stumped for the last 2 weeks on how to get a 1966 journal supplement. I’ve routed through the usual channels to no avail. I finally figured out ow to do this–order article by article. Yay me! I bought burgers last night but was too lazy to cook them so mebbe tonight. I did saute mushrooms so I can haz cheezburger with 'rooms tonight. I do not talk like a pirate.
