78

'87

Past tense, eh?
What did he do to you?

Not a pretty sight!

Up too early, crawling back into my hole.

40/70 here and 70s all next week. Phoenix Open will be in town and looks like shorts weather. Scored tickets from a scalper.

Definitely layabout day after the 5 miler and a little exercise of the 4 speed. BTW, curling sucks as a spectator sport.

Good Sunday Morning! It's a clear 34° on the way to 52° today.

A good day to stay inside and submit all the medical bill I scanned yesterday for reimbursement. My wife and I receive an annual stipend for medical bills. The stipend is supposed to be a substitute for a broken promise from my last employer to provide medical coverage after retirement. I spent zero on prescriptions last year, I have a stockpile of migraine drugs, and some antibiotics were no charge, but my wife's prescriptions and dental bills asure we tap out the stipend for another year.

A chance of breakfas soon...

Ram..!!

Couldn’t help myself, we bought a Sony yesterday. An A80J 55”. Picture was definitely the best between LG, SS and Sony. Won’t be delivered till next week so will have to “suffer” and watch the SB on our oldie. No big deal, I doubt that I’ll be glued to the game anyway. Maybe I’ll wash and wax my wife’s car instead.

Having a gathering at my local B&M... everyone's supposed to bring a dish to share...
I'm gonna whip up a large crockpot of pulled pork mac and cheese...or a batch of Herf tacos...

Watching the Pro Bowl (…I dunno why…) and sheesh, not a fan of the Tim Brown rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

Probably portends how much I’ll enjoy / watch the touch football game.

Took the dog to the park and then ran a few errands. No breakfas for me until about 30 minutes ago.

But... I do have some butter burgers for da grill later. Topped wit some provolone cheese? Awwwww, yeah.

IIRC they scored the first 7 times they had the ball and it was like 49-10 and then they just stepped off the gas.

The pass from Young to Rice was the 3rd play. Fastest TD in SB history at the time. Forced a punt, went up 14-0 and that was the fastest a team scored 2 TD's in a SB. San Diego never got close.

Edit: It's never fun to watch a blowout unless your team is the one whooping the ass. Then it's fun.

I can make a slight detour and pick you up on my way.

Super Bowl party time!!

when we lived in Downey, we hosted football parties nearly every week-end...my niece was an USC song girl and my wife and siblings and our kids were SC grads...only a few of us Bruins there... but it was fun to watch on TV...and the Trojans were exciting then, during Pete Carroll's tenure...

that house was perfect for large gatherings with a huge great room that could comfortably seat 30 people with a large screen TV at one end...it opened into a large enclosed patio that could accommodate another 20 with another large screen TV...we only hosted that many a couple of times, for Super Bowl games...as host, it was tough to watch much of the game, making sure food was hot and drinks were cold and restocked, clutter cleared away, little kids entertained...and on and on

after we moved, we tried to host a football party, but we had moved too far away, and the new house doesn't have a great floor plan...no huge room like at the other house and the pool encroaches into the patio...

wife and I are older now and OK with not hosting football parties...it was a lot of work after folks go home...cleaning up pots and pans and dishes and glasses, ovens and grills, taking out the trash, putting folding chairs and tables away, re-arranging furniture...but I miss that house...we had it totally renovated to those specs with football parties in mind...

Ditto..........the first and second week of October has the best Vegas weather of the entire year





Don't forget Adora...........wifey needs someone to speak drunk Tagalog to

My wife is a one drink drunk...........but she does like to gamble

Spaghetti sauce queued up for tomorrow in the crock pot. Typical tomato sauce, paste and crushed toms from a can. Typical Italian herbs, onion, garlic. Mild ground sausage browned and tossed in. Pound of hot Italian sausage links (cut up to bite size pieces) tossed in. Put it on low in the morning and let it go. Gotta go out and get me some garlic bread, forgot to pick one... or make a fresh loaf here but thinking its easier to go get one.

Do some baby back ribs too for a special order, low and slow in another crock pot or the oven.

The place will be filled with wonderful aromas by late afternoon.

Monday 'tis upon us again. Feels like Fri just ended a second ago. Bogus

16/5.
Work in an hour.
When working one day a week, your Monday is also your Friday.

46/53 with 40% chance of rain today with wind at 5.

The wife has empowered me to make a commissary run today.

While there I will make a sttop at the liquor store.
\
For the past three or four months the liquor offerings have been very slim.

I guess that is due to no supply chain issues as well as citizens having more money to spend.

I'm up.

Got coffee. Mornin' dudes.

Morning folks,

We just arrived at home a few minutes ago. It is good to be back in Nevada.

Thanks Gene, I forgot how good they are! I loved it and added it to one or 2 of my Playlists!
