******* dog cracked me in the forehead this morning with her forehead... little **** won't calm the **** down for two ******** seconds ****.... anyone want a dog?

Have you tried punching him in the mouf?

Sounds like a good time.🙄

As they say: any portajohn in a storm.

Got home this morning to find a care package in the mail box from a beer buddy in Connecticut. Eight cans of Tree House, Burlington Beer, etc only one of which I have ever had. It may be 104 here but Imma be good in da pool with these ice cold and a good Habanos.

Only hope they have not been siting too long in the metal mail box.

Just finished rolling $24 worth of pennies.](*,)

Did manufacturing engineering, R&D, process development, lean manufacturing in various fields for all of my professional career. Took a sabbatical after I got laid off from my last gig in at the end of 2018 ish.

When I went go get back into the work force around the end of 2019 beginning of 2020 corona hit. Had some offers but the commute would have sucked or I'd have to relocate. Decided I'd do a career change while everything was shut down. Took a part time gig at Wally World doing mall cop stuff where they would pay 100% tuition costs for select fields. (As much as I or anyone else slams them, they do have some great bennies - tuition, 401k with 7% matching, employee stock purchase with 15% matching, insurance...)

Going to school for IT and cyber security. A lot of my credits from my engineering degree transferred over so I could get a BS major in IT with concentration on cyber security in two years. So far the stuff is not that hard and it comes to me rather easy (I've played with computer stuff a lot as a hobby), it just time at task to complete the courses.

Off to the circus and and enter into a completely different slice of reality. Never know what's going to happen in the next 8 hrs.

Your timing couldn't be better for cyber security.

May have gone too fast on the daytime beers. Kinda want a nap. Went to bed pretty early last night cause I didn't want to party too hard. Dude that's staying in my camper didn't come in till 0400. I gotta be up by 6 to cook staff breakfast.

Almost dinnertime, so can't take a nap. Sautéing some peppers and onions to go with the sausages on French bread imma grill in a bit.

Made grilled chicken Caesar salad wraps and Chicago dogs for lunch. Eggs, bbq pork, pork sausage patties and eggs on buttered and grilled English muffins for breakfast. Dinner yesterday was 3lbs ground beef turned into 6 hamburgers. Lunch was cold pizza I brought cause I was unpacking/setting up at lunchtime.

Tomorrow morning is the favorite breakfast of my track buddies. Beef chorizo, pork sausage, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, cheese, and eggs all cooked on my griddle and stuffed into burrito tortillas. Probably gonna throw in the last bits of pulled pork and finely chop the leftover grilled chicken in there too.

HUHC watching the drifters from my truckbed. Gotta pack up and head home early tomorrow. Wife said I have to go to family party thing.

Took a nap anyway.

Track goes cold in an hour. Dinner can wait. Brats on now.

They are worth more if you melt them!

Maybe I should ask jonesy? 🤔

I could sure go for some beef chorizo, pork sausage, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, cheese, and eggs all cooked on my griddle and stuffed into burrito tortillas about now.

I just had some seared ahi tuna steaks and salad... mmmmmmm.

Road tripped to San Diego this afternoon to drop off one of my fishing rods. Eyelet broke, so it's getting replaced. My Avet MXL needed service so I dropped that off, too.

Lawn mowed. Hedges trimmed. Weed eating done. Driveway cleaned. It's too hot for this chit.

1/3 of the wood I need to refloor the deck purchased. Might have to save for a year or two for the rest.

Bourbon, beer, and cigars.

Smoking a 2015 anejo shark (I think - dark wrapper, torpedo tip, narrow rg)

Drinking a bourbon that's all numbers like 1795 or something. It's too hot for me so I had to add ice. Also drinking a KBS.

Whole county lost power mid afternoon. Had to scramble for generators cause it was mid race and we needed power for timing. Only lost 5 minutes.

But my camper is powerless. Fridge won't run on propane without 12v. So it's plugged into my truck to save the food. Trucks gonna need a jump tomorrow.

Prices aren't going to go back down. I think we're in the middle of runaway inflation. This is the new cost of everything.

Stick to your trusted suppliers...

The grass seed I put down two weeks ago had about a 5% germination rate. My usual online seed shpo was out of what I wanted so I went elsewhere. Bad move. Got my usual seed place to quick ship me 2# and it just went down today. The new stuff even came with testing data showing an 86% germination rate. We shall see in ten days... Holy water bills Batman.

Three fifty NINE.

Mornin' dudes.

Not much on the to-do list today. Coffee made, gym in a bit... prep for fishing tomorrow was done yesterday.
