> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Wanted to try the new chicken tenders at McDonalds, they were already sold out, today. You haven’t missed much. Not as crunchy as advertised, too thick in my opinion, and the ones I had were solid tendons. Not buying again. Only thing I’m now buying from IckDonalds is Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuits. ---

Tonight’s supper will be veggie-beef soup made with the leftover pot roast, a can of diced 'maters, a sack of frozen mixed veggies, and a handful of barley. Yum! It needs to simmer another 20 minutes or so, then I’ll ingest some. I’s hongree!!! Meanwhile, one more work day down, one day closer to vacation!! WOOHOO!!! ---

Their salads aren’t bad. Do they still make that breakfast burrito thingee? I liked those. Anyway, Happy Birthday, \*\*BatBoy! \*\* I don’t have any superstitions, although I don’t walk under ladders on acounta having a can of paint dropped on my head once. :eek: Yay! for not smoking **Butters**. It gets much easier after a few years. I am eating a Lean Cuisine green chili tamale and surprisingly it’s pretty good. 😛 Carry on! ---

My blurf morning was so blurfy that I couldn’t find the MMP! Happy birthday, Batboy! It’s been grey and rainy today. Tomorrow is 80F and sunny. Didn’t get to sleep until about 3 am, so 9 am came too soon. I need a full 8 hours of sleep or I’m stoopid. I was stoopid all day, so early bedtime tonight. ---

**sunny** , my Uncle Roy was not only born on Friday the 13th, but was married on that day. It couldn’t have been that unlucky: he lived to 80 years old (even with a 60 year unfiltered cigarette addiction) and was married for 61 years. Yay for the new oven being installed **nut**! **butters** , after nearly five years, I rarely get a craving. Most bars and restaurants not allowing smoking certainly helps. My dad said that it took around twenty years until he had his last craving. He quit ~45 years ago, so I doubt if he gets another. Laundry is done, groceries are bought, the puppy crate is clean. I’m fixing to make a batch of biskits to top the chicken pie filling that I pulled from the freezer. Supper will be an easy one this evening. ---

Have I ever mentioned that I make good soup? 😃 Yep, I do. I have a happy tummy and plenty left over for future happy tummies. Ice cream later. Good way to end a Moanday. ---

I would kill to be able to make [Fu Lin](http://www.menusearch.net/ar/little_rock/restaurant.php?name=8468) hot and sour soup. Well, I have a little list I would kill if I could get away with it, but I digress. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Big fire in Napa, I hear. I was over on the coast for the weekend, and just drove back into the Bay Area about half an hour ago. Get out of my vehicle and… wow, something’s burning! And I’m not that close to Napa, either. People are being advised to stay indoors today. Fire season in CA can be pretty awful, and with the heavy rains we had last year, this season is likely to be one of the worst. DH and his crew got sent home early today due to air quality, work tomorrow is iffy. They’re on a project in American Canyon, in Napa county. The air in Sacramento, over 50 miles away, is rather more visible than one really wants it to be. There’s an apparently credible [map](https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1TOEFA857tOVxtewW1DH6neG1Sm0&hl=en&ll=37.28557739837558%2C-119.39475185546877&z=6) claiming over 60 fires are currently active in California. ---

One I caught from my grandmother is always leaving a house/building by the same door you entered. I’m not 100% like she was but I really will go out of my way to follow it. I don’t ride my motorcycle after dark on Friday the 13th; seriously. I have had three really bad crashes in my life and all were after dusk on said day. Bad juju/vibes. Anything that raises the hair on my neck I bail. Other than that am back and Knoebels is into Hallo-Fun mode. **Spidey** – saw there was some balloon thing in Sunbury and thought of you. Had any balloons passed overhead I had hopes of shooting it down to see if they knew you. 😃 ---

How long can one go with bad nights before one loses it?? _\_ I’m starting to look forward to the cruise just for the 3 days at sea so I can nap all day! Last night, my idiotic dream involved a hippo. That’s all I remember because my brain is too tired. Let’s see if some breakfast and caffeine will help. \*\*Butters \*\*- yay for your non-smoke-iversary!!! \*\*Nut \*\*- what did you decide to bake? \*\*Nettie \*\*- the videos I saw of the fires out there are terrifying! Stay safe! I can’t brain any more at the moment. Happy Tuesday! ---
