\*\*FCD \*\*said the stew was good. It tasted a bit odd to me, but maybe it’s just because I’m snuffly…? Maybe?

I want cake. We don’t have cake. Alas…

Not really but I know where you could get a good deal on a slightly used Yugo. 😉

Actually I am a member of a motorscooter club myself (the Bloodthirsty Scooter Riders out of South Hills Cycle) even though I don’t own one. They make me and my Harley ride at the back of the pack. 🆒

Went to Cryptmas and got to meet up again with **NotherYinzer** and a couple other friends. Dinner was Mexican and very good although the results later could be epic considering what the OW and I both ate. Should the house explode overnight tell everyone we loved them ------- if we did or not. Even **Flytrap**. 😃

Believe it or not, I was **not** the only person wearing that jersey last night. A 26 y/o design from a team that doesn’t exist/moved & is now the away team; whodathunkit?

As we’re walking in got a call from home; JR’s (parked) car has been hit by a delivery vehicle. Since we’re not there to get info, I immediately call the cops, but we’re in the city so I can’t call 911. I call the 10-digit for the local PD & she has to tfr to me to county dispatch (that should be a pit thread on the political BS to go to one county dispatch instead of local towns doing it.) I promptly get the message, “You’re call is important, someone will be with you shortly.” :smack: :eek: 😃  
Once dispatcher comes on, she’s asking for info that I don’t know as I’m making a third-party call so I take the other phone & am playing ‘translator’ between them. What’s the make/model/color of the car? What’s the plate? Is it blocking (that one I know), etc. :dubious:

& the “delivery vehicle”? Neighbor was getting Poopy Johns. Really? There are 8 or 9 pizza places w/in 3 miles; more than a dozen if you go out to 5 miles & you get that dreck? :rolleyes:

That’ll quite possibly/probably make it harder to deal w/ his insurance, as I’d bet he doesn’t have a commercial rider on his private car insurance even though that’s what he was using it for at the time. :mad: :mad: :mad:  
Today I slept in (ahhh) but have made up for it since. I left the house @ 9:30, & have put in 10 mile run, a 15 min shower/change/throw clothes in washer break, 3 hrs in car, & one balloon flight, + stopping at multiple stores trying to find something that’s sold out. :mad:  
It was quite slow in the air; at ½ hr, we had not crossed the road that is the back entrance to the airport. We (intentionally) did a terminal descent; my ears popped…twice!  
Dinner is currently cooking; flank steak & teriyaki noodles & something vegetative. Punk’in pie for afterwards. 🙂

Too broke, but I got a toy [Trabant](https://www.revell.de/fileadmin/_processed_/csm_07070__I_TRABANT_601_UNIVERSAL_96a547ab77.jpg) you could have.

**blurf** Another irk day. Another sandwich. Sort of sick of sandwiches.

Our new hexmas tree arrived yesterday and I got it up but not fluffed or decorated. Tonight I shall fluff. Last night I did not feel like fluffing but must tonight lest hexmas comes and goes before I get the tree done. Have I mentioned I don’t like hexmas? The only reason I am even bothering is for hubby. He seems to enjoy the tree. He can help fluff.

OK back to doing much of nothing.

I have a (real) car that I almost never use.

The family got a tiny Christmas tree, or some sort of tiny evergreen tree (a live one.) We can’t really decorate it. I tried putting one very small ornament on it, and it bent over like Charlie Brown’s tree. Someone did manage to put a bow on it. It’s a cute little tree.
