The rain here ranges from light/steady to bucketing down. Inch and a quarter near me in the last 24 hours. We even heard some thunder (weather apps reported that at between 4 and 5 miles away). The cats are both under the headboard. Allie apparently feels there are worse matters at paw than being less than a foot from Buddy. ---

The rain down here turned to snow a little while ago. It’s very pretty but is supposed to turn back to rain tomorrow. I am not complaining about precip because Smoketober is still a vivid memory. I thought of JtC last night because I decided to get my son a good beginner’s cheese-making kit for Christmas. I think he’ll enjoy it between migraines. **FCM** , sorry **FCD** didn’t get his much-needed rest. Poor guy. Too bad his mother can’t see what she’s doing to him. > [@Aspenglow](#): > > Share my new favorite riddle. > > Q: What do you call a fake noodle? > > A: An impasta!! Now it’s _my_ new favorite riddle! Thanks! **shoe** , hope the crud passes quickly. I tried one of those nighttime cough syrups once. Blech. 🤢 I couldn’t get it down and can’t understand how anyone could stand it. And I didn’t think it did that much to control coughing. Sending you sunny thoughts and virtual chicken soup. I should pack up the dog crate and get it back to my friend. Unless I keep it for company whose opinions I disagree with: “Into the crate, Joe, until you stop with that stupid 9/11 Truther nonsense.” I’d be the most popular hostess on the block! ---

**oopsie** , the scent of a cleaned pooch is priceless. 🙂 Hope that you get over your crud soonest **shoe** (and anybody else under the weather. Farted around in the studio some more today, et pintos, greens and cornbread (fartfest to follow) and am surfing with a little reddish dog in my lap. 🙂 ---

Howdy Y’all! We deheathenated, had a hyuuuuuuuuuuge brunch, got back to da cave for nappage and general sloth. There was a serious amount of nummy stuff to brunch upon. I am still full. Might go have some popcorn in a bit just cause I can and I have a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for popcorn. The biiiiiig trash can has been hauled all the way down to the road for pickup tomorrow and the garage door is shut. We are in for the evenin’. **Oopsie** glad Bailey is all clean, fluffy, and good smellin’. Hope brunch went well. **shoe** hope you feel better soonest. **MOOOOOOM** consultin’ an attorney might not be a bad idea. Might be worth the money and time just to explore options. ---

Evening all (yeah, it’s before 6pm here, but it’s dark outside so it’s evening to me). DId manage to get outside and send off some bills and buy a few things, then decided to try the new Whataburger nearby. Verdict is pretty good burgers, McDonald quality fries, a bit pricey, and it’s much to busy right now to make it a habit; but it’ll go into the rotation. Other than that (and solving all my Sunday puzzles) it has been a pretty slothful day. Tomorrow may be more of the same sloth, rain is due before dawn and is predicted to last all Moanday, at least it won’t be snow like some Mumpers are getting. **red** , surfing the net with a little doggie in your lap sounds nice; try it sometime with a 90lb bloodhound demanding your attentions/scritches… **{{shoe}}** , hope you get feeling better soon. **Taters** , sounds like the birds are stocking up for bad weather… **Flyboy** , watched that video… 😲 …glad the kid is OK. And happy chopping. > [@Aspenglow](#): > > Q: What do you call a fake noodle? > > A: An impasta!! Ok, buster, What do you call a movie starring Bruce Willis as Bilbo Baggins?’ A: Old Hobbits Die Hard OK, need to try and catch up, sleeping in that late messes up one’s day (hopefully I won’t have to do it again… Take call all and I’ll catch you on the next MMP. ---

Clear and cold up here. Rain/snow forecast for Tuesday, with no more snow after that in the 10-day forecast. I managed to chop two wheelbarrows-full of wood in an hour and a half. It’s not entirely dry, but most pieces are fairly light with only a few heavy ones. I moved the rest of the wood in the catio inside, and staked the freshly-chopped logs on one side of the propane fireplace from whence the former came. ---

**metal mouse** , sometimes, when Nelson is laying on my arm, he feels like he’s 90#. 😛 Try Whataburger sometime for breakfast. I recommend the chicken biscuit. ---
