The Coffee Shop

[Abbey Marie]

Made myself scrambled egg on toast, and a pot of Italian Roast coffee.
Two loads of laundry done.
While wash was going, watched the movie “Failure to Launch” because of the 30 year old guy who won’t leave his parent’ house. Eh.
About to have lunch with our daughter at a local pub.
Weather is very nice- 75 and sunny

Note to self: ... wearing black T-shirt outside in the sun to rake dirt... STUPID...

I'm waiting "The Monuments Men" to get here. Bought it on ebay, supposed to be a true story. Trailer looked good.

Work done. Sitting in coffee shop meeting my friend. Going to figure out trailer, reserve. Then hiking and swimming.

I'm taking a break too... shirt is soaked with sweat... hardly a 1/3 done with what I have to do.

I'd rather go "hiking and swimming"...

Freakin' MOSQUITOES are STILL just UNREAL...

So I bought another insect fogger. Had one but it gave up the ghost. Bought a different one that's supposed to be better. The things do work...

Well, enough sweating, mosquitoes and inhaling gnats for one day... I need beer.

Building your Purple Martin house yet?

Building your Purple Martin house yet?

If I do, it'll have to be after I'm done with all this yard work.

I have to take the Camaro up to the dealer in the morning and drop it off. They're going to give me a loaner and I have a few errands. They'll have it all day I think, maybe even overnight. They're not going to live me but I'm going to ask them to redo one of the big red stripes on the hood, it's crooked. I'm sure they'll love that...

They can write it off as warranty... it shouldn't cost them anything.

AWESOME news on the car... took it in today to have the body shop fix a couple tiny nicks and clay bar and buff it, and then talked about the crooked stripes on the hood. Last word was they were going to order new stripes and have a different guy put them on. Well, salesman just called and asked if I'd like them to PAINT the stripes on. I about fainted. I didn't like the stripe decals anyway and had already thought about having them painted. He said their body shop manager used to do high end paint jobs in a custom shop on hotrods and boats and is really good, said he can lay down stripes on the car and make it look awesome... I said HELL YEAH... AWESOME... DO IT.

I'm one happy camper. In the meantime I won't have my car 'til Wednesday of next week, and have to drive this funky little new Buick Regal OLD DUDE CAR. I guess I'll live...

(Now go ahead and make a comment about me being an old dude... HA!)

Well, it's Saturday, it's also Memorial Day weekend, I had the news on but the TV has been on MUTE again for over an hour. I just get so sick of listening to talking heads. As soon as they say... "let's bring on so and so to get their REACTION"... I'm done... don't need any REACTIONS from anybody, I'm smart enough to form my OWN REACTION, thank you. Seems as time goes by, I just have less and less desire to watch these talking heads on TV. It's 60% listening to opinion, 10% factual news reporting, and 30% commercials about drugs, pillows or travel websites.

Time to slam on some high volume tunes and kick off this weekend right, time for Spotify.

Wish I had my new hotrod...

[High_Plains_Drifter]

Spotify was reading my mind, in my Daily Mixes they have some smokin' hot good Rockabilly... just perfect.

Daughter is at a tailgate in Maryland.
Russ is “working from home” all morning.
So here I sit drinking my coffee from a moose mug, at loose ends. Le sigh.

[High_Plains_Drifter]

Time to... ... a couple oxys...

Hey... it's a holiday weekend... and my back hurts...
