Everybody is. He was a notorious micromanager, but still a great person to work for

Screw the fishes... 🤐

A woman in town set up a mini pantry on her property this past week. Built a small shed and stocked it with non perishable foods, diapers, personal care products, and so on. Free to anyone that wants them and it's monitored with her security cameras. It's open 7 days a week from like 7 AM to 7 PM. Much of it is out of her own pocket and donations from others. Free stuff for folks that might need them. Sort of an honor system thing.

Town hall is giving her flack and wants to shut her down even though she has the proper permits. WTF? She's not preparing food so those regulations are not needed. She's not stocking perishables like fresh produce, milk, meat stuff. It's just a a small "Pantry" as she calls it but City Hall want's her to stop.

In town there is a church that grows a community garden in the summer. Fresh veggies and stuff for folks to take, again on the honor system. I try to support these types of things. Is her small Pantry much different than that?

Did I mention that she ran for mayor last year as an independent but lost to the sitting democrat mayor (they were the only two on the ballot). If you have an R to your name in MA you will most likely loose. Trying not to make this a political post but why would the town try to shut down a small free food panty supported by her out of pocket money and residents' donations? Personal vendetta from the existing mayor against someone who tried to unseat him on the last election? Is this much different than the community garden that the local church runs? Is this much different than a kid's lemonade stand?

Just not in the 500.That's all. 🇨🇮

Probably a zoning and/or code violation. Residential area?
Give me her last name, the town's name and the name of the county- and I will find it all in bout three minutes...

Hey, maybe he identifies as a fish.
You can do that now…

Because my fish flagellate upstream?

Agreed.
All political bs aside, TW is a good hearted dude, and I miss him…

Your flagellations are legendary.
Or so I’ve heard…

I dunno... they swim pretty fast... 🤔

Morning fish fornicators and the rest of youse dudes.

Getting into the 90s now so it's time to get the floaty inflated, unfurl the big cantilever umbrella and get in the pool. The water is still a little cold but fine once ya get in past the nads.

Happy Saturday fellas

Morning "gentlemen"
Got a rare quite morning. Everyone still sleeping, and a decent start to the day before the rains arrive. Coffee and a stick on the patio it is.

Morning gents

Morning peeps. Perusing local nurseries today. Mrs Beach wants to look at the pretty flowers

Kind of a gray day today. Weather people say on and off showers. Gonna be a lazy day and do some stuff around the house and want to do some stuff on the deck. I have and indoor cat that I inherited from a neighbor. He's maybe 2 or 3 yrs old and has been and indoor cat his whole (short) life so we've slowly been introducing him to the outdoors. As with any domesticated animal, he likes to take a nap in the Sun, fresh air and claim some more territory. He likes outdoors but I don't want him wandering around the neighborhood outside with the possibility of getting squashed by a passing car.

He can lounge around on the deck but the deck slats are are open enough for him to slip through in attempts to chase birds and stuff (hunting instinct). Probably put a some lattice around the slats or a temporarily show fence thingy so he hang out on the deck but can't escape.

Also want to get the auto water irrigation thingy going for the container plants that we have on the deck.

Thawed out a bunch of chicken breasts but need to decide what to make with them. I predict a nap in the future as I contemplate what kind of chicken recipe to cook.

Dishwasher latch broke. Only the 2nd repair needed since I pulled it from someone's curbside trash about 12 years ago. Initially needed a pump for about $100. 3-4 years ago the power cord was loose in the socket and arced/melted so I replaced that. Now the door latch broke. $88 for a latch handle and $22 for a spring!!

Walked the dog, did 30 minutes on the treadmill for 2.6 miles (ain't setting no speed records, fuh sho!) and then did some trap bar deadlifts.

Now I need to wash my stinky self and get some nourishment.

Warm out there... 82 going to 90 today, but the humidity is 77%. Ooof.

Howdy one & all..............[ram27bat]
