Great advice. It was weird, serendipity. I could not recognize her. Then we both figured it out. She is my GF's neighbor. She is legit. Her company bought this place to rent to employees. It's a common practice here. Have employee housing available. She doesn't have an employee in need of housing at the moment. She needs to rent it to offset the cost. That is why the lease is not long term. I could be asked to move with 60 days of notice. It's a million dollar condo, but not a forever home. I am kicking the can. I would be on the top floor. Four windows on the right. Private deck. Interior view.

I hate these word fragments!

…going on 64, yes. She had her say and wrote “jack” on the tape with a Sharpie. Still not as good as when I switched the caps on the dry erase markers. She stood there for what seemed like a solid five minutes with her brain glitching as she looked from the whiteboard to the marker and back again, trying to figure out why the “red” marker was writing blue…

Probably. And I'm sure the cat is sound asleep, so keep the noise down.

Happy anniversary! What a measure of security in your relationship that there’s enough joy in each other’s company without having to do it up big. And how cool is that…your preference to use her coupon, which she wants to use, over some external expectation for an anniversary dinner. Those are always my favorite ways to celebrate.

To be honest...I would tell you what I tell my residents about the garbage/recycle dilemma...WHEN IN DOUBT...THROW IT OUT. I don't eat as much old food as legend tells it...unfortunately I have a lot of food waste

on this glass cleaner. The old label was exactly the same shade of blue as painter’s tape - which meant that “someone” could put a judiciously placed square of painter’s tape over the first two letters of “glass” and it would take months for the unsuspecting victim to notice. (At which time a hearty laugh was enjoyed by “someone”, despite being referred to as a sphincter by said victim).

I have and luckily she was very good at cleaning so she was never dirty.

I called a helpline last night. I told them I wasn’t in crisis. But I was. i went to bed at 11:30, but I woke up at 2:00.

Ok, so I did this:

Yes. Winnie was quite majestic.

Today is our 42 year wedding anniversary and I asked Wo46 on where she would like to go out to dinner and she said..............(drumroll)..........Arby's I have a coupon. Seriously no steakhouse restaurant, no fancy Italian restaurant...Arby's.

Looks like you are well set with an herbal and a decaf tea, and a rooibos. Good base to explore non-caffeine tea.

What about the can of garbanzo beans from 1987?😳😳

I thought we were gonna see a younger @Further

OMG. I just keeps coming! Yet another package arrived today: … very kind of you.

I wasn't so lucky. Kitty liked to sit under car engines when it was cold. She often had grease and oil on her. Washing a cat with claws is quite an adventure. I'd wrap her up in a towel and wash part of her at a time.

17.1 miles on the road bike. Averaged 16.5 mph which for this old guy was fast. I was also nearly as fast yesterday. The weather was great both days; however, I just started a new blood pressure medication. I wonder if that is helping. My BP is about 10 less the last few days.

Housing related. I am still playing the housing game. I have six days to vacate. Still no lease on my next residence. I have options. #1 I gave them $350 to reserve the apt. It is 450 Sq ft. No storage. Four bikes in my bedroom. 45 page lease that I have to read and sign. I had an appointment tomorrow to see the place and get the lease. The manager missed/forgot our meeting on Tue. I was not happy. #2 Random meeting. A person overheard me saying I was moving. She said call me. I did. She showed me the apt. It is amazing! Cheaper than #1 by $100/month. It is 2br/2bath with storage. Very Fancy. 6 month lease that will go to month to month. I will have to move again with a 60 day notice. It buys me time. #3 Shitty basement apt. No egress windows so probably not legal. It's cheaper by $750/month.

Or see if @Chris... , @bikeman564™, and @Johnny Come Lately Name can do a group 3D effort to print one for each of us!

Check the Temu price, first.

Is this from the Neiman-Marcus catalog that I learned aboot from Dennis the Menace?

I'd rather rebuild my deck.

#2 and keep looking....oh and see if they are hiring

4/6 Starr, There, Court, Intro

Geez I thought you of all people would know how those were made…

Do research on #2. I am a firm believer if something is too good to be true, it probably is. BUT if you got a good read on them, and you trust what you saw, do #2 but keep looking

25 on the group ride.

Dirt track date, pick you up at 8. Excellent album

That is actually called the hamburger

I've got this guy. He's all boy. He enjoys tormenting me by finding the dirtiest spot in the driveway and happily rolling on it. 🤦

Low of 51 tonight. We have been in the 90s for several days. Only supposed to be 81 tomorrow.

We had the leftover pizza from yesterday.

They did a software upgrade on LF. It included the ability to add a topic or something like that to a post. I don't think you could search on the topic but you could list them. I started adding 'boogers' as the topic to all my posts. 'Boogers' far out numbered all the other topics discussed by a long margin. Like, 'boogers' was somewhere north of 1500 and the next most discussed topic was at 4. Is there a way similar to that to skew the statistics?

I cannot take this risk. It’s in the dumpster.

i bet you'd enjoy it

We travel a lot with our racing and the racing trip usually includes stops along the way for other adventures. A weekend of racing averages 2 weeks on the road We never really made a big deal about birthdays or anniversaries. Wo46 enjoys a hike in the Dells followed up with a pizza and a beer over a fancy dinner. Not saying that she doesn't enjoy it but given a choice she will go for a hike.

Happy Anniversary! That entire album is great. A line I remember from Michael Perry's book Truck: A Love Story-I knew it was a special date, because I had a coupon for the Pizza Hut.
