> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Watch out for her parents, whatever age. It has been my experience they do not like bikes. 🙂 I think they live in Ohio, so by the time they meet me(if that happens, lets not get ahead of ourselves) it will be a done deal. 🆒 More dangerous to me than parents, she is a redhead 😃 **Jim** ---

Forgot to say earlier, yay for the date **Jim**. Take her somewhere nice now. Hint, if it has a drive through it ain’t nice. However, if they offer curbside pickup then it’s ok. **MOOOOOOM** cool tables! I see you loungin’ and sippin’ on a tropical drink while FCD is busy at the bbq. 😃 ---

> [@Capt\_Kirk](#): > > More dangerous to me than parents, she is a redhead 😃 A red head made BLTs for me at lunch from my job when I was in Junior High, and I got into a great deal of trouble for not coming home for lunch. Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) was a redhead when I met her in 1982, and has been at times afterwards. 🙂 ---

Perseus, who slew the Gorgon, thrice stole iceberg lettuce leaves from the kitchen counter and did twice devour them with apparent relish. (No, Swampy, the cat did not eat them with pickles.) We were making pork curry lettuce wraps, OK? ---

We need to quit missing lunch - we end up having early supper… just finished fish with some leftover veggies - quick and easy and done. Maybe some tylenol for dessert, since I planted a dozen+ flowers and transplanted half a dozen day lilies - oh my back!! I’m going to assume the knit position shortly and veg the night away. ---

This is what it’s been like today here in Hippy Hollow: > [@](#): > > Originally posted on Facebook > Dear Asheville, > After consulting with city and safety officials as well as meteorologists and seasoned event organizers, it has become clear that we must cancel tomorrow’s Big Love Festival. > We had planned to hold the event rain or shine, but have decided to cancel based on reports of potentially dangerous weather. In addition to the likely\*\* torrential rain\*\* and **potential for flooding** , there is the even greater danger of **probable heavy winds, which are a serious safety concern for outdoor events with tents that may become airborne**. Part of me wishes they had held the festival today. I would pay money to see some airborne tents of love. That’s going to be the name of my rock band, by the way. I like this weather better when the winds are more consistent and it calls itself a hurricane. Thus goes the weather in the mountains. It’s been so weird this past week that Big Boss’s (the most trusted meteorologist in WNC) predictions have been “hell if I know.” ---

Dammit I got rain checked til Wednesday, one of the horses she cares for threw a shoe and between the shoe hunt and the wait for the farrier, I lose. She has to be at irk super early. On the plus side I get a horse riding date out of this as well. **Jim** ---

That can happen and is a good idea but I would prefer a nighttime MC ride and an AM horse ride. I am a “good boy” and shall not propose that avenue just yet. 🙂 **Jim** ---

Making [plastic bag yarn](http://amandashappyhearth.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-make-plarn.html) is a lot of fun. When I see how well the bag goes, I may suggest it to Older Sister as a fun art project or Girl Scout project. Heck, I may just show her the plastic yarn page and let her figure out what she wants to make with it. She’s an art teacher, she’s creative. ---

Dinner recipe calls for 3/4 cup of beer. I could pour 3/4 cup into measuring cup & drink the rest. However, I don’t do that because I’m [del]smarter than the average bear[/del], [del]quite thirsty[/del] a guy. I pour 1/4 cup from each of 3 beers into the measuring cup, _forcing_ [Foghorn Leghorn]I say _forcing_ me son [/Foghorn Leghorn] me to drink all of the remainders so no precious resources are wasted. 😃 ---

I have found that it’s often necessary to wash down that first beer with at least two more. That first one often just makes me so thirsty! 😃 ---

> [@Spiderman](#): > > Are these two sentences related? Is she brave for agreeing to go on a date with you? 😛 ::shakes fist at **Spidey** :: I believe she is brave because… My motorcycle is old and looks it, will be 32yo in October She agreed without hesitation but has never ridden before She practically dared me to ask her out, like taking every chance she had to chit chat and turn it into serious questions about me. She made sure I knew she was single jadda jadda I look kinda intimidating, shaved head, giant goatee, angular and strong plus I ride an MC everywhere. You have to know me to know I am a lamb not a wolf but she saw right through that. She has five or six big dogs I will call that brave 😃 **Jim** ---

I have found that it’s often necessary to wash down that first beer with at least two more. That first one often just makes me so thirsty! 😃 Hear hear! The thirst created by one beer causes me to need at least two more, which can start a never ending cycle. Speaking of which I need dinner and a beer Off to the dinner place and the bar Cheers all **Jim** ---
