Hi Guys,

I'll have a cuppa, YG and some of that yummy looking chlosterol laden concoction that Elorrum made. To hell with the diet this morning, it is sunny and warm and the world seems pretty damn good. The Burn gets closer. Gotta make each day count. Carpe Diem!!!!!

Started the monthly ARTery meetings at BM HQ last Thursday evening. Soooo good to see my Arterian friends. Interesed in volunteering, let me know. It is really a fun gig and the folks are so mellow

Well, time to get going. The tennis courts are waiting and the elusive yellow ball needs to be hit.

Have a great day all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

piney - west Reno? Mountains look like they got some. Chains required on 80 at the moment. Not a trace here in east Sparks.

I'm going to put a pot of soup on. I need some vegetables, and soup is the easiest way I've found to eat the ones I don't necessarily like. Chicken stock, any and all vegetables, and I think I'll go east with seasoning, but light: bit of oyster sauce, ginger, little soy, splash of rice vinegar, chili garlic on the side.

Then what? upside down days, I need to be back at work tomorrow night. Last week I was paralyzed with what to do things, and finally just grabbed my keys and sunglasses (Sunday was a beautiful day here) and walked out the door, period. Wandered all around my neighborhood for a couple hours. We have a community garden, that I had never really noticed (I must check into this!) by a library I never went into, which is closed for renovation. I appreciated all the front yard ornaments, playing a bit of spot the burner. I practiced my most neighborly smile and hello and what a great day on people I passed. I guess I was doing what I do at Burning Man. hmmm. Is this it, is this my metropolis?

Great Day

Followed by

Fucked Day

I am sure there is some math equation some place that explains
that if you have a Great day that a
FUCKED DAY
must follow and that the rate of
FUCK
must be multiplied by at least 100 or more to maintain
the yin and yan of the universe

Not in jail, kind of surprised by that

Sweetie still here, and loved.

I just wish she would quit selling shit she has no right to sell.

of just FUCKING ASK FIRST.

Had an up and down weekend. My friends furnish me great amusement and excitement. This life would be so tame otherwise.

It's nuts and berries for breakfast today. Trying out the Paleo Diet!

hey there TITWI.
funny you should pop in.........I'm' having Cap'n Morgans on this fine eve.

it was great to see you two, thanks for stopping.

gettin' ready to fall them trees, as soon as I can get Looneytunes and another helper here........
one to run the saw (me)

one to drive the "pull truck" to steer where the tree goes (most of them are not leaning where I want them to fall......so, a hinge cut and big pull from the truck

one to communicate between me and the driver, since, we'll not be able to see eachother.............

seems smooth enough?

Saunters in to have a cup with YG and grab some time in the NEB. PM's description of your layout is really sometin. Hope to get to see it later in the year.

Have fun with the grand kid, PM. I've got 9, all boys but one 6 year old girl. Range from a college grad to a 3 year old. Very interesting to see tham grow and emerge as people. Different that one's own kids. Sort of once removed and so there is a different appreciation of the process.

Elorrum, you are a great cook! Looking at your culinary creations makes my mouth water. I'll be coming to dinner real soon

Have a great day, one and all .... you too GH!

well, you know, you guys one and all can come visit, and, make stuff, or, just hang out.........I've got tools and material, it's like a lending library here.......

have a fun day PM, grandbaby........I'm hoping it'll be quite a while before I experience that. But, will look forward.
did you guys find a nail gun, and, get started yet?

Yeah, Marty, if you ever get even close, it'd be great if you stopped by...........
