Jasper most likely under bedThink


Found him earlier this afternoon. He was hunkered down behind a dresser. I'm amazed on how cats can get into things that seem too small to get into. They are pretty sly animals. He's sleeping on the couch again.

Another thing I like of him is he is not declawed. All the cats I had over the years were not declawed. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't turn down having a declawed cat but I'm not a fan of cutting off their fingers unless it's necessary.

Honey garlic chicken turned out well. I've done honey garlic chicken numerous times before but I tried a different recipe this time. Basic recipe is the same just a twist on the ingredients. Lemon juice as the acid and more oregano and basil. My recommendation would be to add some rosemary though.

I'll probably drift off to sleep while watching Sunday night football. KC is up winning at the half. Patriots got smashed and they need a different QB.

Bucky for sure, Jessie likes under or on our bed and climbing on the window sill in the bedroom.
Want to have fun with the kitty,place an empty box on the floor and see if he climbs in it.

Mornin' dudes

Buckster - 100% agreement on declawing of cats. Phoebe tore up carpet on my stairs and I still would not declaw her. Self defense... and she had a cat door, so she was outside a lot.

62 on the chase to 83 today.
Loading up for a day at the shpo.
Wonder what I will learn today?

What I learned last night? Im going to have a tough time watching the Chiefs. Think I saw less of Patrick Mahommes than I did Taylor Swift.

87F/70F with winds at 18/25 mph. Mostly cloudy. No more scattered showers today- I think. Humidity is an almost pleasant 64%.

Dental cleaning this morning followed by a trip to the tile store to return the sample we chose and a swim workout.

Shower rebuild and retile started out with the shower and glass only- and has morphed into the shower + removing the 70" Roman Tub next to the shower, raising that part of the floor to be level with the bathroom floor, and a a freestanding soaking tub on a tile mosaic that incorporates both the shower tile and the existing bathroom floor trial we have left over from 15 years ago.

More than twice what I budgeted for the shower. alone. But, we live here now,, and we would need to redo it to sell the house without taking an equal or bigger hit in the future, so we figured we better re-do it now- and enjoy it.

Waiting for contractor to ask me for a check so he can order everything and get started!

Nothing else going on today until MNF

Yeah, was 74 on the walk before the sun even came up... 83 now.

Later today getting a quote for turning my lanai into a sunroom. Then I can hook up the portable AC unit and sit in there when it's hot outside and smoke cigars. :)

Landfill fire has been burning in the area for a day or two, my nose is dead to me. It must be going out, I justed stepped outside and finally didn't smell anything.

The irony is that it was a "green landfill" fire. I just spent the last 36 hours inhaling the 'carbon offsets'.

Ding, dang Daisy!

I told the wife it'd probably be 5k to convert the lanai to a sunroom... she says, no way it'll be 10k. She was right.

$10,832 in fact... but I did a little finagling and haggling, and got discounts and such... 8k total, including all permitting and inspection. *big sigh*

Still more than I wanna pay. d'oh!

You don't wanna breath that smoke. It's coming from the Indian reservation landfill and it's a "green landfill" on the surface only. I have 1st hand knowledge of what is buried there prior to EPA regulations. Anxious

I wish I had a choice... I can only imagine what was in that dump. The whole NE side of town stank since Sat AM. It smelled like every toxic mobile home fire I have ever been to.

On the bright side, all my hair fell out in clumps so I wont need to spend money on haircuts anymore...

He was one of my favorite Red Sox players in the modern era. There was a documentary that I watched a few years ago called Knuckleball! that featured the long lost trade of throwing a knuckleblall. Wakefield was one of the best.

If memory serves me correctly the featured pitchers were Tim Wakefield, R.A. Dickey, Phil Niekro. It walked though their careers and some science on the different types of knuckleballs thrown. Wakefield started out in the minor leagues as 1st baseman but his agent talked him into becoming a pitcher throwing knuckeballs. Some days the ball was on target, other days not so much. It's an unpredictable pitch. Even the pitcher didn't really know where it was going after it left his hand. Depended a lot on the weather and the wind. Not only did hitters hate the knuckleball but so did catchers. The All Star catcher, Jason Varitek, had trouble catching the unpredictable pitch. When Wakefield pitched for the Sox they had to keep a personal catcher on the roster for him who was better at catching his pitches.

It was an interesting watch and I'd recommended it. I think it was on Amazon Prime.

RIP Wakefield

Happy Tuesday fellas.

Picked up overtime tonight. The only nurse who could be in charge called off so I picked it up. Plenty other staff on, I'll probably spend 12 hours playing solitare on my computer and get paid overtime for it. Lil extra money to pay the deductible for wife's car. Dropping it off Thursday to get fixed.

You can still get the full effect of the "lanai thing". It'll have 6' tall windows that open side to side, from either side... with screens.

The "why" is because the weather is so hot and humid that the lanai is useless half the year or more. This way I can use it year round. When it's hot, I fire up the AC. If it's cool enough, I open the windows.

4-6 months before it actually gets done. Sooner if they can, but I won't hold my breath.

Bought a new printer and trying to set it up on my home network. It's an HP OfficeJet All-In-One. Still have a OfficeJet All-in-One 5200 series that I haven't had many issues with it other then scanning and copying using the feed loader thingy lately. One of the wheels to feed the documents slips a bit so the copies and scans are kinda tilted. So, since my other HP didn't give me much problems over the years, I bought a new one of their more modern version.

Franking the HP web site sucks!

They push you to signup with them and make an account with them. I just want the drivers dammit! It took me a few tries and searching their stie just to download the drivers and stuff without all the BS stuff. It's like being on the phone trying to talk with a human or something "press 1 for this, press 2 for that.." but you have to jump online hoops just to find the pure drivers for it without all the crap they want to install.

Rant over.

Bucky, years ago I had to take a professional time-out where I couldn't do my usual, so I did remote consumer tech support. Half my day was spent installing, uninstalling, and fixing HP printers. The HP software was the worst... impossible to work with.

Glad you conquered it.

I spent 23 years selling HP large-format inkjet plotters / printers and thank goodness I always had a tech or IT person install and train on the print drivers. Luckily HP held the vast majority of the market share so customers were used to the quarks. For home use, I’ve been an Epson fan for over 25 years.
