Howdy Y’all! Back in da cave after quality time at the cee-mint pond. There are thunder rumbles in the distance which means outta the water. That’s OK though cause we had been out there about three hours which is quite enough. In a little while we shall grill burgers for suppin’. Deheathenization was good, as usual, this mornin’. 'Twas nice to get to be with my Luterun friends. All in all a good day has been had. ---

\*\*FCD \*\*is finally home. The stuff we built is on its way to San Diego to be flown by actual sailors! Their feedback may lead to design changes. Or not. We shall see. ---

Thank you all for the Birthday wishes. **Swampy** , are you really a baritone? I didn’t know. B’day was good. **Wifey** and I did a bit of shopping, then had late lunch at a sushi place I’ve never been to. I don’t like sushi, but they had other stuff too. It was okay. Then we went home and chilled for a bit. I even got in a nap. Then grilled steaks and corn onna cob with tiramisu for dessert. 😃 We passed the rest of the evening watching British detectives on the DVR. Rosie’s sig to all. Carry on. ---

Thunder rumbles all around but no storms here at da cave, just rain. On the plus side the temp has cooled down a bit. **Bumba** my singin’ voice is a cross between two cats caterwaulin’ on a fence and fingernails on a chalkboard. ---

Worked, came home, walked Gordie. Made smoky poke chops with sweet \*\*N.O.T.\*\*s and a salad with a Tabasco vinegrette > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > SIL finally got out of bed - at 2 this afternoon. He’s only lived here 2 weeks and I’m hard-pressed to find anything positive about him, apart from his care of his daughter. Honest-to-goodness, I don’t know what my daughter sees in him… > > I’m being nice, but I’m thinking many not-nice thoughts. Wasn’t the last one like this, too?:dubious: ---

Work yesterday was physically brutal. I caught inbound the entire 8 hours and did 2.5 oversized trailers solo and had to run the dumper for several hours in addition to the usual hand-indicting and other heavy lifting. Thank goodness for horse liniment or I wouldn’t be typing this now. If The Wicked Witch assigns me there again today I may just have to tap out and beg our paramedic for mercy. ---
