Having been requested and required to begin this week’s MMP by Swampy, :rolleyes: I herewith comply. This will be a coasterless MMP. Just throw your empties into the back of Swampy’s truck. I believe that everyone in Georgia has a truck; almost everyone in Arkansas does. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 28 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 63 and sunny. Another Winter’s day here in south Jawja. **flytrap** you’re gonna be in soooooooooo much trouble when **MOOOOOOM** sees you said not to use coasters. Also note that I have placed a container in the back of the truck in which to throw your empties. One for cans and one for bottles. After all we must recycle. Ok that’s all I got for now. I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas, ‘tis Monday so irk purtification must commence. Yeah, it’s a federal holiday but not one for me. However, I’m takin’ off Firday so it’s still a four day irk week! YAAAAAAY!!! Happy Monday Y’all! ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > My precious! > > We hates coasters, doesn’t we? This well and truly cracked me up! 😃 But I like coasters - especially the stone ones that absorb condensate. We had 2 sets of 4 of those, but I think we lost one along the way. Still, 7 coasters for 2 people still works. I’m up early on a holiday because when you have a puppy, you’re always up early. \*\*FCD \*\*has gone back to bed, and I’m taking advantage of quite time to read the comics and post. Chores will have to be done soon enough. It’s about 20°F out there at the moment, but at least the wind has died down. Not much else to share - it’s still dark out and I really wasn’t ready to get up, but that’s a non-issue now. Happy Prez Day! ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > On the bright side, I get to meet Hockey Lady:) in the flesh on 3/7.😃 My Og, man; it’s been what, three, four months & you haven’t _met_ her yet? Talk about taking it slow. A word of advice if you’re meeting her in a public place like a bar/restaurant. When you walk in if three similar looking ladies look up & smile at you, go for the one showing the most tongue, cause if she’s a _real_ Hockey Lady she’s missing some teeth! 😛 Unfortunately, this looks to be repair day/week. I’s fraid I need a new tire. Neighbor got a new roof last week. Stoopit roofers had a big (hole-y) tarp that they used to catch debris & then apparently folded up in _my_ driveway. Tire pressure warning came on on Sat, filled them up. Then when I went to pull out on Sun, it was flat. Took about three hours to get fixed (including driving around trying to find somewhere that could plug/patch it on a Sun & then sitting in their waiting room.) Guy said that due to the angle of the nail, he wasn’t sure it would hold. When I put the car away last night, the tire pressure warning light came on again. :smack: Haven’t brought myself to go into garage yet. The 'puter that got fried last week, at least one of the HD drives was also cooked. If the other one is as well, I need to try plan C, which includes procuring pieces/parts & channelling my inner [Boris Karloff](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021884/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2). Or, in my case, mebbe [Gene Wilder](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072431/?ref_=fn_al_tt_8) to bring it back to life. Wish me luck! ---

**Spidey** roofin’ nails are one of the many banes of my existence. I swear, if there is a roofin’ nail anywhere in a twenty mile radius of wherever I am, my tires will find it. :smack: Howdy from irk! So far it is not irksome but this is subject to change any time now and for any foreseen/unforeseen reason, with or without warning. ---

Did somebody say coaster? I used to have something like [this](http://www.eatmedaily.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/wendys-burger-coaster.jpg) at my house, except they were ceramic. It’s been a good Monday so far even though it is early. Not sure what’s on the agenda today except for homework. Hope everyone has a good one. And so happy that **doggio** is going to meet **Hockey Lady**! ---

A friend wanted me to drive his 996 Turbo S yesterday. Needless to say, coasting was not an item on the agenda. Not only were we coasterless but I’m pretty sure the rings that dern machine leaves behind usually have a Nurburg in front of them. Oh, I also did a bunch of organic gardening and yardwork. I’m trying to decide which was more exhilarating. That leaf compost and ground corn gets me pretty worked up. Mornin’ all. ---
