Hi gang!

look what I saw:

[ygmir]

and now, the whole deer family comes to the door, to eat bird seed, my flower sprouts, roses, and generally dismiss me, as the apex predator here , while mom looks over her shoulder and mocks me.

[mgb327]

Do they shake that little short tail with that "come hither" look? Come hither with a .243.

[Aurelia]

Yggy she is throwing you kisses !

xoA.

You don't sound THAT butthurt about it.

* "Thank you for the lovely flower sprouts, Yggy; how did you know I like roses, too? . . . Here's a little something for your Instagram." *






*I picture her having a Southern accent, and it is key that you use it when you read this.

out of my head, devil woman!!

[Elliot]

I appreciate pretty flowers, but I would probably willingly trade them for pretty critters.

Whew... fun evening, had dinner and drinks with friends and campmates, then got home to what initially sounded like the dull roar of a muffled stereo... neighbor must be having a party. Good for them, but man, the music wasn't very danceable... hang on a second, hard rock. Check again, yeah... it was the Metallica show at the ballpark nearly a mile away. Even though I'm not really a fan of the band, I'm a big fan of loud fuck-off rock and roll sound systems.

The cats didn't mind, until the fireworks. I don't know if it was a barge that had drifted to an unusual spot closer to us, or more likely the post-concert fireworks for the rock band had a lot more of the deep boomers, but once that show got going our kitties who are normally fireworks pros (we live close to a stadium, they hear them all the time)... well they were convinced that tonight was the actual firework apocalypse. 2 drinks later, and they're both still at undisclosed locations.

SF residents beware, apparently there's been a sighting or three of that Bieber kid, on top of all the other sportsball-related nonsense.

Dammit, my drink is empty again... *sneaks off to the bar for a refill*

[Elliot]

Wow, that must be some fireworks. I would have thought that two drinks would make any cat quite fireworks-proof.

*bada-bing*

[Aurelia]

Good Morning Dear Bar

The fireworks are loud all the way over to Marin
It is a big time

xoA.

[ygmir]

Hi gang!
yeah I'm glad not to be a city, and especially Bay Area dwellers on these days.
Big cities and crowds are tough on me (yet I go to TTITD?), and the mayhem must be extreme! Cacophonous!

[lucky420]

Morning Bar...

Game day! I've turned into a fooball fan in the last couple of years...weird.

Gotta go grocery shopping. Pantry is bare. Popcorn for dinner was not very winning

[Elorrum]

gotta make some hats. Lucky, you got to be a bronco fan today, right? Here's my news: I now have weekends off. I got a new schedule, so I get to be in synch with other people's fun plans again.
New shade/bug hut came in the mail. hugely discounted and I couldn't resist. Kelty's four corner shade with mesh sides. I'm theorizing that the mesh might give it a little wind integrity while letting air flow through. Proof on the playa doesn't always conform to theory, though. Things that flex, also lift and squash well.

[lucky420]

Yes ^^^

Just got back from the store. Oops forgot to buy anything resembling a vegetable. Everybody put your stretchy pants on...

[Thecatman]

Good for your weekends off now Elorrum.

Oops forgot to buy anything resembling a vegetable.

The Save Mart in south Carson City has fried pea pods. I think you can get them just about anywhere though. Dip them in Saracha sauce or Franks Hot Sauce.

[Captain Goddammit]

I've found you can painlessly get cauliflower down by steaming the bejeebus out of it, then mashing it up and dressing it just like a fully loaded baked potato. Tastes and looks about the same.

[Jovankat]

I make cauliflower in a cheesey sauce as an alternative to mac'n'cheese. It's quite good

[Patsh]

Yes ^^^

Well, you know, Lucky........

They say chocolate comes from cacao pods, which grow on trees, which are plants.

Therefore, chocolate is a vegetable.

[Elliot]

And I just read that dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa is good for us -- specially for lowering blood pressure. The recommended quantity is a bit disappointing, though -- 1/2 (half) ounce daily.

[Aurelia]

So sad that Newton didn't have more help
concussion test ?

xoA.

[tatonka]

Been making pot brownies to sleep , just been using shake . Been workin real well , so I ran out of shake and had a jar of roaches , so I made some from that.
Now I have delicious chocalate ash tray flavored brownis

[Captain Goddammit]

I tried making pot brownies but they were too moist and they just wouldn't stay lit.

[lucky420]

Good morning Bar!

[Ratty]

Is it still morning? Hi Lucky, Hi Capt. I slept like a log and now I'm ready to ROAR.

[lucky420]

That was funny ^^ forest toys

[trilobyte]

I love that log commercial, Yggy, one of my favorite things from Ren & Stimpy and always brings a smile to my face.

Happy Monday! I hope the sportsball and the commercials and everything were fun for all those who were interested. Traffic and assorted nonsense in the city were a bit of a pain, but hey we got the Bay Lights back for good now.... so no complaints from me. My Sunday was on track to be filled with relaxation and libation, but my sweet darling gf ran into a jam on her 3D printer and then later in the day started feeling poorly. The jam should have been easily sorted, but when she turned a hex wrench in some special fastener instead of loosening... it stripped. D'oh! It's a weird part in an awkward position, and as Murphy's law dictates... I didn't have the right tool. There's a hardware store across the street from us, but they're closed on Sunday, so I waited until today. She's definitely come down with something, and woke up feeling even worse today. She called in sick and I'm taking care of her while I bounce around doing other stuff around the loft.... so it's a chicken soup/servers/laundry kind of day. Take care!

[lucky420]

Best wishes for quick recovery to your lovely gf. She's lucky she has you to fuss over her

[ygmir]

get well Pani! and yeah, what Lucky said, but I'd say you are both lucky to have eachother, yer good folks!

so, being San Francisco and all, I'm guessing the bay lights, and all that sort of thing, is powered be green, renewable, energy and volunteers riding generator fitted stationary bikes?

[Jackass]

Greetings Bar, good luck getting this jingle out of your head...
