My roommate is mad at me. She thinks I’m rude. Maybe I am. I dunno. Don’t feel like sharing the story here.
Had a rough day.
spidey, iffen you’re in town over the weekend and want a good meal, holler. I will likely be ducking traffic from the ACM and Bonneroo for the next couple of weeks (I live right between the two).

When I went by Lee Victory Park on the way home from ferrying my friend’s kid, I saw where they had gotten the Blue Angels plane/memorial set. http://www.captjeffkussusmcmemorial.com/ The dedication ceremony will be next weekend.
{{{{Emily}}}}
And I seriously doubt you’re rude.
I spent the better part of the last 3 hours helping FCD in his shop. I drilled a bunch of holes, then tapped 24 for #10-32 screws. Even after a shower, my hands smell like the oil used on the tap. I’s tahred and my poor sweetie is still down there. He needs to deliver this stuff at 9 in the morning. I fear he won’t get any sleep.
At least one of us should, so it shall be me. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
What he said. And also {{{hugs}}} from me.
{{{hugs}}} to you too Cupcake. Grief hits you at odd times. I think that’s just the way it goes. 
On the way home tonight, I noticed a memorial set up around the corner from my house. Turns out a couple of kids went drinking last night, got in a car, didn’t put on seatbelts, and went for a drive. They lost control. One of them is dead, and one of them is in the hospital. They don’t know who was driving, because both of them were thrown from the vehicle. Tonight I am sad. Tomorrow I will have a talk with the kids about driving drunk, or getting in the car with someone under the influence. They grow up quick.
Thanks for the good feeling folks, and hugs to you Emily.
Sunny Daze, you want to know what my cousin did when he had two girls growing up? He said if they didn’t drink until they were of legal age, he wouldn’t either. I know he was fond of a beer or two, so that was an awesome promise, and sacrifice.
I mentioned in another thread, I cry every time I hear Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo because it reminds me of the loss of a branch of the family most all of us never got to meet. Feelings run deep and long and sometimes the oddest things trigger them.
{{{{Baker and Emily too}}}}
I’m up, dressed, breakfasting, and about to help **FCD **again. He has literally been up all night. I’m worried about him… And he’s got to leave in 2 anna half hours to deliver the parts. I don’t know if he can make it. 
Happy Saturday, I guess.
Happy Saturday!
I woke too early and feel like hell, but I can’t get back to sleep.
We had lots of rain last night, don’t know what it’s supposed to do today. TWPTB are usually wrong anyway.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 74 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 86 with rain/tstorms/apocalypse for the day. Since I survived apocalypse yestiddy, I do not want another one today. No real big plans for the day. Burgers and N.O.T. sallit shall be supped upon and I am makin’ a pasta sallit with grilled chikin to take over to the church house tomorrow for first Sunday brunch/N.O.L. I foresee lots of sloth today.
{{{CupCakes}}} like others have said grief can pop up at the strangest times. I lost a brother sixteen years ago, my father fourteen years ago, and my mom last year. Yeah, it may get easier with time but I still miss all of 'em a lot.
{{{Midget}}} I am certain you are not rude. However, I am certain your roommate is a poopyhead.
Sari yay for good checkup at the doc!
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day. Rah.
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
FCD’s former boss/current customer is coming over in about half an hour to see what’s done and what needs to be done. We’ve done as much as we can, but until he gets some sleep, I don’t think he’ll figure out what’s wrong with the program to machine the bases. In any event, we shall see…
After 2 nights in a row of about 4 anna half hours of sleep, I’m a mess. And I still have chores to do, but I’m thinking laundry will wait till tomorrow. Mowage shall not happen - it’s just too wet and more is on the way.
<YAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNN>
Today is Niece #2 birthday, she is 36.
When she was a little girl and would complain about something in life I’d always tell her that if she thinks it’s bad now, wait until she gets to be my age.
She said Aunt Sari, I hope I never get* that* old.
I had to point it out to her today, she is* that* old.
sari, if you blink, the kids are the grownups. My nieces and nephews range from 15 to 46 and it wasn’t that long ago that I was taking them to the root beer stand for ice cream. The stepkids that I raised are both in their mid-late thirties and are both adulting well.
Breakfast is et, towels and sheets in the wash, puppy crate cleaned and caffeinating some more beforedoing KP. Today’s plans are to set the citronella torches up by the patio, head into the farmer’s market (yes, we finally got one in my town!), go to the craft sto’ and maybe a trip to the dog park.
:eek: I have been remiss! :eek:
<AHEM> CLEARIN’ THROAT <AHEM>

Blurf. Up, dog walked, spaghetti et. I envision a day of rest and hopefully sleep.
Thanks, all. I think things are a bit better with my roomie now.
Happy Birthday** Bumba!**
Heading downtown in a bit for some fun.
Happy Bumba Day!!!
Daughter and I stopped and got her a DVR for their room, the went to BK for a croissanwich, and ended our adventure at WalMart where we bought waaaaaaay too much stuff for the critters - 3 kinds of kibbles, treats, cat litter, and Nature’s Miracle, because animals. **FCD **got a little sleep but he’s back at work in his shop - they literally changed a design this morning so 3 of the parts he’s started have to be trashed. On the other hand, their changed design means it’s not his fault that the parts are late, so there’s that.
I’ve decided to do laundry tomorrow. I will run the vacuum today and I need to go to Food Lion for a few things. But mostly, I’m in slug mode as I’m exhausted and running on half a cylinder.
What is this thing, a Heisenberg Compensator? Anti-gravity generator?
It’s an adjusting mechanism for the gunner seat in the H-60. The current configuration binds unless it’s moved exactly right - the one my sweetie designed doesn’t have the same flex issues so it shouldn’t bind. Theoretically…
Howdy Y’all! Biiiiiiiiig tstorm happenin’ as I post. Should be over soon however. We have changed plans for tomorrow. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice and N.O.S. so we shall deheathenate with the Luteruns, skip out on the brunch doin’s, have N.O.L. at da cave and spend the afternoon havin’ quality cee-mint pond time which we have not been able to do due to weather. We shall also feast upon majik intartoobz pizza tonight and have burgers and N.O.T. sallit for tomorrow’s sup. JDD and Partner will join us for N.O.L., cee-mint pond time and suppage tomorrow. Sounds like a good plan to me!
