I slept too long last night and woke up with my back hurting. The Rx pain tab is kicking in. I gimped around to make breakfast, but washing up shouldn’t be as difficult. Today is the lazy day at CasaRed. I forgot to pick up a shallot for tonight’s chicken piccata, so I’ll make a run to the Pubic Sto’ for one. I do need to chop the fresh oregano that needs to be dried before it goes off, but that won’t take long. **Baker** , I loves me a good pumpernickel loaf. Will yours be a pan loaf or a hearth loaf.(I tend to like the hearth loaves better. They have a crustier crust. 🙂 ) ---

Back from an early N.O.L. at the not too shabby Chinese [del]hog trough[/deel] buffet place. Not rainin’ right now but dreary out. **flytrap** who doesn’t enjoy a good cheese parody? 😃 ---

I have ransomed Polly Subaru from the fixit shop and she is driving so much better now that she has a whole new front end. I have to bring it back Monday so they can pass her inspection but for now the car repair saga is on hold until tax time. ---

Happy Saturday! It’s warm but foggy outside. I finally got the puter back to irking normally, and now I know the problem is JaveScript updates. Much to do and I got a late start. ---

Back from running about. We had breakfast at Bob’s - first time in a long time. Rogue One was kinda \*meh \*- very slow, and occasionally really dumb, even for a silly sci-fi movie. Then we made a stop at Wal Mart, **FCD** ’s office, WaWa for gas, and the credit union to drop a check in the night deposit. The bed’s been stripped and I’ve started laundry. \*\*FCD \*\*is watching football. Just a dreary, boring day underway. ---

Lots and lots of rain with occasional thunder. We achieved nappage. Chili will be a good thing for dindin. BTW the chili smells nummerific! ---

First load of laundry done, second in dryer, third in washer. \*\*FCD \*\*is napping. Ribs have been pulled out of the freezer for supper. Still dreary and overcast - so much for the promised sun. ---

Having a wonderful Satidday here. :dubious: While Wifey was taking her shower the tub stopped draining. Drain lines were stopped up again. I think I’ve mentioned that we live in a 125 year old house that was built before indoor plumbing. The plumbing was added later, in bits and pieces, possibly by the owners themselves. It defies logical explanation. Anyway, a wet, stinky hour in the yard, in the rain, with my Drain Blaster[sup]tm[/sup] cleared it up. I think. We shall see when I take my shower. Whoever invented that device was a genius and I hope he/she got rich. (Technically it’s called a drain bladder iffen you want to look it up.) Caldo verde soup was okay last night, but lacking something. I used linguica and we think I shoulda used chorizo for the added spice. Happy Birthday **BigKitty**! 37? I think I may have to hate you now. (I’ll be 70 in June. At 37 I was one year into my first marriage.) I don’t know what’s for dinner yet, but if I can find some poke chops in the freezer it’ll be poke chops and sauerkraut with a side of something. Hee! Our county doesn’t require DEQ vehicle inspections. We’re also in Orygun wine country, so that’s two reasons to live here. **Mom** , I did two loads of laundry last night. 😛 ---

I was 37 when I got pregnant. He was born 2 days before I turned 38. That seems so long ago. Just ordered pizza here. I don’t know why, laziness I guess. ---

Chili and cornbread have been ingested. The rain has stopped for now and the sun is even peekin’ out. More rain on the way however. ---

Supper will be roasted chicken, taters, coleslaw and whatever other veggie hubby decides on. I got the chicken on already. So the newest battle is how big the crowd was yesterday:smack::smack::smack::smack: How will we survive four years of that whiny man-boy? ---

> [@missred](#): > > **Baker** , I loves me a good pumpernickel loaf. Will yours be a pan loaf or a hearth loaf.(I tend to like the hearth loaves better.

We have a lull in the rain. The next round should start by around eleven accordin’ to TWPTB. We shall see. Shortly we shall retire to the boudoir to watch teevee. What can I say. It gets wild on Sattidy evenin’ around here. 😃 ---

Wild rats are really not the same thing are domesticated pets. Somehow I think you know this. You are a good husband. I have spent the day setting up a new 30 gallon fish tank. We allowed the kids to pick out their favorite fish from our old 100 gallon tank in CA. My son picked a big goldfish, which has been miserably surviving in the 10 gallon tank I used to bring him up here. 30 gallons looks about right. I’ve over-filtered the heck out of it, and hopefully he’ll be fine. Took a while though. Now I need to figure out dinner. Usually when I ask everyone, they all have something in mind. Today it’s all blank stares and shrugs. I think it will be enfrijoladas, with fresh tortillas. We are out of beer (:eek:), but I shall persevere somehow. 🙂 **Happy Birthday Big Kitty!** ---

Took advantage of global warming today and got the Sportie out and just sort of roamed around for a few hours. No plans, no destination, just blew the dust off us both. All in all a nice day although I am clearly too soon for the top of page 5. ---
