Slept okay last night.

Misread my clock at 12:30 a.m. and started to get ready for work.

Laid back down and eventually got up at 3: a.m.

It was 28 degrees this morning in the Fort on the way to work.

Pull tires and load trucks.

Peddle something and try to stay warm.

Ready for 5 p.m.

Have a wonderful day!

Monday ZzzZz

• Celebrate the only birthday that means anything to me. 250th!
• Also, miserably cold so puts a damper somewhat
• Oh hey! Did yall know it was November already? ( **** )
• Plan out end of year activities. Well, MY version of planning at least.
• Figure out how to sell mom's house when it is across state
• Stuff
• Some other things

What's for lunch?

Do the day, yall!

It has yet to be determined whether I will win the lottery today.

Slightly lower car insurance premiums?

Pics of cans... oh wait, no stars

-I am so very tired and don't feel the best. Hopefully once I get up and moving I'll feel better.
-5 meetings today
-Travel work tonight

Do the day.

- I think I will buy a Lotto Ticket today, so Atticus doesn't win all the money.
- WFH / Taking part of the day off.
- Put a Pork Butt on the smoker this morning at 6:00AM. Meal prep for the week!
- Chiken is such a woman. Just tell us what you would like for your birthday instead of making us guys guess at it, and be wrong so you can stay mad at us.
- I recently scared my kids to death, because they thought I had bought my wife a new Vacuum Cleaner for her birthday. I did not! I only did that once!
- ????

• Need to deal with insurance enrollment stuff today since it's that season once again
• Meeting with the school about Mr Awesome and his not-so-awesome behavior coming up in the next hour
• Wrap up a few more things before transferring to another division on Friday
• Very annoying that everything is just super busy coming out of nowhere but it is what it is I guess
• Of course since I'm at home today, Prada insists on sitting on me even though that makes her overheated. Her snoring is cute. Panting, much less so

Don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Slept in the same position the entire night

Dental cleaning in a few minutes

Puppies were cute this morning and like the colder weather

Busy day ahead

Cold, bright sunny morning in west Georgia/east Alabama. Temps close to 70 by week's end. This will really improve collard greens, however.

A good morning starts with good coffee.

Make it a good one in spite of what the rest of humanity is up to.

Here's a Dick pic for an early present

• 49 in the Sparkling Sh#hole by the Sea
• Gym done
• Wife's car is in for the oil change - salesman keeps hounding me to trade it in
• Seasoning cast iron pans today instead of yesterday.
• Fried black drum for dinner.

Oil change? At a Stealership?

I see Miami is going to be 48F tonight, which is cool for them. At what temperature do iguanas start falling out of the trees?

This. All the financial stuff is done with a family trust. I want to be interred in a VA cemetery, preferably Central Texas. You would not believe how uptight bureaucrats get when I want to add the simple epitaph,
"Enjoyed custard pie throwing contests"

All four of my grandparents, most of my aunts and uncles, my mom, and at least one great-grandparent are buried at Forest Lawn cemetery in Beaumont. I feel like that's where I should be buried, although summer 1993 was the last time I spent any length of time there. I actually need to put that in motion.

But my generation have been promised that organs will be grown routinely in labs and placed into us as we age, so that we'll all live to about 130.

Yes my trust handles everything
I am going to be cremated, and my epitaph will be engraved on a family bench at the cemetery, Mom & Dad were both WW2 veterans and are buried near the bench

Was your mom a WAC in the Philippines?

I answered my own question. Iguanas start falling out of trees at temperatures below 50F. In my mind, the South Florida weather forecast tonight should include a "Falling Iguana Warning."

Watch out for that Indonesian junk that's going around.

Had to deal with a paralegal that is dumb as a bag of rocks. She's a real piece of work. Gets information completely wrong. Way way off and then bills me for all the emails to correct her. She is so tightly wound up and no doubt has ADHD (I have it mildly myself). She thinks that my BS meter is broke but the dial pegs to the far right every time I see her.

It does.

I need a sonic drink

Wait until 2pm

She was a nurse at field hospital 115 in Guam and treated some that lived through Iwo Jima, and she always told me those Marines were strong and tough.

that truly was the greatest generation

Welcome.

I've given it some thought, and if I was the operator that Jim Croce was talking to in "Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)", I'd be pretty put out. I'm not your therapist, Jim, and I'm beginning to understand why your gal ditched you for Ray.

And don't get me started on Randy Travis trying to place a call to the year 1982. Go back to digging up bones, dude.

Puppers wanting attention while I'm working. She didn't come home til today due to us getting home late last night.
