Ah. Now I remember why I left Norway. I didn't have an axe.

Ah. Now I remember why I left Norway. I didn't have an axe.

seems as a young man, you'd not need one, if you have a jack hammer.

MyDearFriend
Today is my baking day, please don't ask me why I am sitting here drinking

I try to get baked everyday

This is such good advice, I had to move it forward a page. I plan on getting baked hard as soon as I finish all my driving tonight. That'll be, oh, about midnight.

In the meantime, Elliot please tell me you have some of those chocolates left. Not going to comment on your ax, your jackhammer, or anything else that comes up. But I will hang out here in the NEB until it's time to hit the road.

HI Gang! I'm still house cleaning......I can't seem to just "zoom" through, but end up rearranging furniture, moving pictures, even set up my toning bowls for some ceremony, maybe. vacuumed, mopped, dusted...cleaning toilets and sinks and counters.......I'm feeling like "Cinderfella".
Time for a drink and fills NES:

The thing about the Seattle rain is the measurement numbers don't tell the story. It's almost always raining this fine mist that doesn't accumulate a big number but it's still always wet out except for a couple days in summer while I'm away in Nevada.

Aye, Cap'n. I lived in Seattle in 1968-69. I went 68 days in a row without seeing the sun once....I moved the F out of there.

geezus, crazy awful busy day. But it's over, and I made some extra money. I guess I should be thankful for the idiots who think that 5 days of work can get done in 3, and then decide to add a couple of extra half day projects sometime in the afternoon. Thank you fucking Black Friday retail planning idiots. Thank you regional guy who thought I needed to number all the spray paint cans for the store color we use as we work, and put them in a safe locked place, that I will never be allowed a key to, and make a sign out sign in list so we would NEVER EVER throw them in the garbage. Now I am personally responsible for this stupid program. Thank you very much. I enjoyed that the most. Of course we can't be trusted to know what can't be put in the garbage.

Now, I must request of someone here to please ingest for me some type of inebriating beverage or substance. I had a piece of pie, and actually that's working o.k for me. Now for some music.

there will be a day, some day, and a golden statue, of a heroin in a pith helmet, on a tricycle with a home made portable stereo on back, and a rolled up "finish line" setup. She will be canonized, and held in high regard, compared to Job, Buddha, and my parents, as the most patient person in history. She may not be named, for no name could do her justice.

[Elorrum]

I think I'll set up the finish line by my car tomorrow night when I go to work. It will be fun to creep towards it at the end of my shift. I'll just zip tie it to my wheels. yeah, that's the ticket.
I'm glad you house cleaning is coming along ygmir. It's a good time of year to do a cleaning, you'll have to school me on what that ritual would be like. Then things are tidy and cozy. MDF, BAKE IT WELL. Bake all the things. Lucky, you too. I love you all, and miss you so.

*rides up on War Rabbit, in full regalia*
He loves getting dressed up in his armor and finery. *scritches WR behind ear*
I'll let him wander today, usually the petting zoo is unmanned and he can sneak in and see his girlfriends.

just getting things set, to hang out as the days cooking and resting and drinking take place.

...morning all

It's been cold at night here this week, in the upper teens/low twenties, which seems to be happening a little early for these parts. We've enjoyed mild winters the last couple of years though, so I guess we're due for a cold one.

Well, comet ISON's trajectory has it swinging around the sun today, encountering temperatures nearing 5000°. If it survives, we may have a beautiful sight in the night sky for the next few weeks. Personally, I'm hoping it fractures into a couple of large, intact chunks, giving it the appearance of several comets in tandum, or the 'string of pearls' effect. That is a long shot though, and heck, it could fizzle out instead, but we'll know soon.

I hope everyone has a great, low stress weekend!

Pie for breakfast!

[Captain Goddammit]

Pie for breakfast!

Uuuuughhh...... breakfast?? You are gonna eat breakfast??

Uuuggghh

[AntiM]

I have to have a little something or I can't get started. The meal I can skip is dinner. Who needs to eat after dark?

[magicmarty]

Not gonna eat again till next Thursday! Well, maybe not. Off to beat the yellow ball this morning to try to work off some of those yummy carbs from last night's feast. Food was really good, and that's the problem for those of us practicing "girth control"! Got to glaze a bunch of pots yesterday and fired off the kiln last night, so should be able to see the results tomorrow morning when it all cools down. Always a treat to see the final results. Still have surprises, both good and not so good. Nice long weekend still ahead! Enjoy, kiddies. ((((((((())))))) and maybe just a touch of
