Love is playing the ukulele for a friend even though you have a cut on your finger. A mundane and pointless thought I had, so I thought I’d share it here. :rolleyes:⭕) And now back to my music projects. ---

Winter sucks! \*\*FCD \*\*got back home a bit before 7, so we went to Kevin’s for supper, since Weds night is fried chicken night. I had the crab cake dinner. Now we’re home, exhausted, ready to veg the night away. Tomorrow, I’ll make veggie beef soup. For now, _ **MWAH!** _ ---

Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) and Stepdaughter (v.3.0) have returned from visiting an Aunt in Oklahoma, stopping in Dallas to buy some coral AND fourteen Night Hawk TV dinners, which I love! I had pork chops, a used sirloin and the makings for potato soup. She opted for potato soup. I haven’t known what it was like for someone to think of me like that since she and I dated in 1982. Yes, Mrs. Plant (v.2.0) was a self serving bitch, the most vile creature to ever drag herself over the surface of the Earth. But I digress. Her new coral is acclimating, that is, becoming acquainted with the water in her cube tank. No, Swampy, you may not eat, indeed, cannot eat, coral. ---

There is 500 gallons of aquarium water here heated to 80F. Indeed, it was Swampy’s fault. I can see that it was a mistake, trying to make him feel better. Mea culpa.\* - ---

Worked, got a haircut, came home. I must have been tired, I dozed off…for 3 hours. **Herbs** , I know it snows in NM.

> [@dogbutler](#): > > Stealing Interweb by hacking into your neighbor’s line is illegal, you know.😛 Indeed. Aside from saving $10 a month, owning my cable modem means that Comcast can no longer make my house a “Wi-Fi Hotspot”, as they do with all of their subscriber’s modems. 🙂 ---

**Emily** , your song and its translations sound interesting to say the least. When you finish it and have your copyright, I hope you put it on YT. I once wrote a piece that worked well as big band or Western swing. The lead and break could be played on either a fiddle or a clarinet. 😃 **shoe** , your pepper rocks, especially with the penlight. I bowled tonight and went halvsies on the beer. ☹ Yes, I tied for low score. ---

**shoe**. That’s bout the coolest thing I saw ever! I took my staff (all two of them) out for happy hour, on the installation; spent $18 for four beers, a coke and two Chardonnay’s in plastic cups. Still no network computers. Understand the “part” may arrive on Firday behinder and behinder I get. Have last Rooster Dick cartilage injection tomorrow in Bum Knee. I have seen improvement and have found knee is better when I irk Vs resting it. And I know I have a separation anxiety re Lucky Louie he is gonna be in the house tomorrow.
