Good Morning CGs!
Sounds like everyone had a nice Mother's Day. I ended up getting three bouquets of flowers. Funny how that works out. But they were all happy so that's all that matters. Cool and rainy here today. This weather has been really uncooperative the past few weeks (months?). A side note is that due to the rain the backyard plants and trees look great and are growing well. Slow progress on the kitchen. I was hoping to have all of the drywall out and new stuff up today for the granite guy. He texted my wife yesterday and said he'd be here at 10 am to measure, I was expecting more like 5 pm. Oh well, he can still do it in the state it's in. Marcus, good luck with your anniversary faux pas. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

Howdy! I could use another weekend day just to get caught up on chores, but nooooooooooooooo. Meanwhile it looks like a cooler and wetter week ahead. The dusty Vette is in the garage - lots of residue from all the Canadian fires has been in the air the past few days.
Have a good day, all! |

Morning guys....It's overcast today and they are predicting rain. Most of the grands are off to school already. Had to move the Corvette so daughter could take three of them to school, and GS#6 (not in school yet) wanted to ride in the "race car" so I loaded him up and took him around the block while daughter left to take the others to school. To say the least he was excited. Start them early.
Today is #1 daughter's birthday...this is a big one, 40. Hard to believe she is that old, she's still my little girl. Today she is taking us to see the quartz she picked out for the new counter top for the kitchen I'll be doing for her starting this week. Marcus, I hope you were able to dig yourself out of the hole you dug. |

Marcus, your darling wife must have forgotten too or did she mention "Happy Anniversary".Then the proper well executed bluff could have been employed and you could have returned the "Happy Anniversary". Next, the "Today I have too much on my plate but tomorrow I was thinking we could go out and celebrate with a nice dinner." I didn't forget honey, we're just gonna celebrate it tomorrow." could be employed and "The Freeze" possibly lifted. Or not ........ |

IT'S RAINING ON THE CHEROKEES, AND ON THE CHOCTAWS, CREEKS, AND CHICKASAWS. THE RAINFALL PATTERN SEEMS TO BE REVERTING TO WHAT IT WAS WHEN I MOVED FROM OKLAHOMA TERRITORY TO THE NATIONS. WEBBED FEET MAY COME BACK INTO FASHION. AND IN CLOUD-CUCKOO LAND THE RUSSIANS ARE NOTED TO BE BUILDING UP AND MODERNIZING THEIR ARMED FORCES WHILE THE US ARMY AS FALLEN BELOW PRE-WWII LEVELS. NOT TO WORRY: THE ARMY HAS MORE LAWYERS THAN EVER IN HISTORY AND WE’LL SOON HAVE FEMALE INFANTRY TO PROTECT US. ALSO A WORD TO THE UNWISE: DON'T POINT TOY GUNS AT A MAN WITH A REAL ONE. |

Went to celebrate a nice combined Mother's Day brunch over at Sue's first cousins house. The cousin and wife are nearing completion on a complete remodel of a home they bought on a lake. Really nice. They are minimalists so the floor plan is open and most clutter has been eliminated. (Unlike our home). He's a tech geek so it has all kinds of novelties and all custom. They employed the services of a professional interior designer to meet their goals and objectives. Really nice place with an open deck that goes to the edge of the lake complete with fountain, pool and hot tub. There is a dock as well. Nice place to spend the morning. and early afternoon. We left around 3:00 to go to a previously planned event. That event was Sue and I going to the Miccosukee Casino where Sue could play poker while I waited for her and played the slots. That's what she got for Mothers Day. Some time at the table. She was up $350 by the time we left I was down $120. I got ripped off big time. I had 7 Direct Hits that should have paid me around $200. A machine malfunction had the payment at $40. Vulcan bullshit. As you know, in casinos, management is not responsible for machine malfunctions. I will NEVER play that bank of old machines again. Matter of fact I may NEVER play at Miccosukee again. Instead I'll go to the Seminoles a little farther up the road or to one of the paramutuels where they also have bigger, better casinos> I'm sure they will be more than happy to take my money .......

Busy weekend. Saturday morning I headed over to PA to mow my Mom's lawn and deliver her Mother's Day present. She got what she wanted, a gift card to her local grocery store. Then I headed back to the Buckeye state for some sprint car racing. Buddy of mine lives a few miles from the track said,"The weather is nice here." Check out the picture to see what the weather was really like. Nice weather, my ass.
Sunday, The little blind woman and I headed up to Cleveland for my birthday dinner. Really nice seafood place called Don's Lighthouse. I had lobster and she had a tuna dish. Took a while to get the meal, the waitress said they were making me a new lobster tail since the first one they cooked didn't look "appropriate." I'm thinking,"Hmmm, an inappropriate piece of tail." |

That is one nasty looking cloud, Ken. Happy birthday though! Just got back from taking #1 out for her birthday lunch...she chose Chipolte. It was good, I had no trouble eating the "whole burrito".
