The I stayed up until midnight just to post this MMP

drive-by

Hugs, boos, weeee-cute-babies and so forth as appropriate.

Yeah, that’s what those colonists thought!
:slight_smile:

Morning all,

Its hot, huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumid and only 7:51 in the AM. BLURF!

Happy Hump Day.

It’s 69 degrees with a projected high of 95. I don’t know what it feels like outside because I was able to get up and potty without waking the dog. He thinks he’s so smart putting his bed between me and the door but every now and again I can get past him without waking him up.

{{{FCM}}} just because is sucks when you have to watch your kid do something that you wish they wouldn’t do but you don’t have any choice.

I totally forgot laundry yesterday, even after I remembered it here. My mind is a sieve lately.

I guess I am lucky in that I have no trouble falling asleep. Staying awake is more of a problem.
Usually if I am having trouble all I have to do is turn the channel to something interesting, murder mysteries work best, and I will always fall asleep before they show whodunit.
The harder I try to stay awake the faster I will fall asleep.

Between the dog and my bladder, staying asleep is my problem.

I snerked so hard at this that coffee almost came out my nose. Well done. I find that jokes always seem funnier when there’s a good chance people who didn’t pay attention in high school won’t get them. :wink:

Sure, laugh at the impending tragedy of a motorcycle gang disappearing!
I also do barmitzvahs and children’s parties.

It’s not a motorcycle gang… :rolleyes: It’s a bunch of grey-hairs in leather pretending they’re a motorcycle gang… except they stop a lot for ice cream. Seriously - his HOG chapter is big into ice cream-related activities!

The last of the cedar is oiled. A load of grubbies is washing. I’m showered and dressed (finally - I had to sew a button on my shorts.) Kitchen is tidied. I think we’re done working for the day - huzzah for lazy Wednesdays!!

It will make the Bermuda Triangle look like a trip to Disneyland.
:rolleyes:

MOOOOOOM you forgot pee breaks. A gray-haired motorcycle gang always knows where the cleanest restrooms are. They also know how far apart said restrooms are and plan accordingly. Hmmmm… wonder if there’s a niche market here for some type of leather cover up for Depends. :smiley:

**swampy **- potty and fuel breaks happen every 150 miles or so - remember that most bikes only carry 4 or 5 gallons of gas and they get 40-ish MPG or so. Heck, on one ride where I followed them in my car, they stopped 3 times in a 155 mile trip. Once was for gas, once for lunch, and once I don’t know why…

Off to knit!!

45 city. 59 highway for a Sportster. My Honda 50 got 200 mpg. :slight_smile:

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s Best She Not Know. :frowning:

Good morning everyone!

The good news is that I’ve already run 5 miles today. The bad news is that my latest attempt at my shitty little project has failed again. So back to the drawing board again today. :mad:

Good luck, gotti!

Great minds think alike — and so do ours sometimes? :smiley:

Get the name right, will ya! :rolleyes:

Blurf.

I’m now getting worried about the magpies, they’re seriously plotting against me- not content with vandalising stuff at my allotment, for the past two days one has been showing up outside my bedroom window- over a mile from the allotment- at 4am, then squawking loudly until I get up and chase it away.

It then comes back 5 minutes later, and we repeat the process until I give up and stay up.

It even brought a baby terrorist magpie with it yesterday, so I couldn’t even throw stuff at it, as the baby was looking so bewildered and innocent. Bah.

Using children as shields.
Typical terrorist behavior!

His Fatboy gets about 42, if he’s lucky… He’s not exactly a fuel-efficient driver.

My summer vacation has officially started…

Due to a heavy [del]foot[/del] wrist or his aerodynamic shape? :stuck_out_tongue:

  • Hey, I’m a cyclist who’s done TT’s; I understand aero. (Doesn’t mean I always am, just that I understand it & the penalties for not being aero.)

AUGH!

No surgery for me today. After an abnormally painful insertion of an IV, I got woozy and blacked out for a few seconds. End of the line. Get off the bus. Do not pass Go. Do not get happy meds.

I now have to get a cardiac clearance out of an excessive abundance of caution. I can see Spineydoc’s position. Three months ago, one of his colleagues had a patient faint briefly pre-op, and that night, they suffered a fatal heart attack, so being a bit gun shy is understandable.

So now, I’m rescheduled for next Wednesday. Now I have to see how this impacts my leave from work. By now, all my access has been suspended, and getting it back on will take some doing.
