The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

You got back without incident?



Yes. TDK was a resigned traveller.


We were near the house and the pink-haired horn-rimmed-glasses woman who pulled up on our right saw That Damned Kitten standing in my lap staring out my window. She was making "such a cute Kitteh" faces, so I pulled TDK and switched sides for her. The woman loved it and loved it more when kitten pulled out of my hands and went to the passenger window to look at the woman until the light changed.


And "they" say that they're just dumb animals.
 
I haven't been blackberry picking in decades. Dad used to take large coffee cans and screw metal strapping to them to make a hook that you could slip onto your belt. This made the cans hands-free. With two cans hooked to the front of our waste, we would wade into thickets and pick berrys till our fingers were dripping juice. Then it was time for blackberry cobbler.

.sorry, had to wipe the drool from my face.

You made that ladies day! Must’ve been a great moment!

I think so, yes. The girls had a moment together.


A woman in a big-ass truck a couple of pumps over that the Buc-ee's in Crossville TN was looking at Ethyl staring out my window with all those "look at the cute Kitteh" looks. Ethyl was growling at her. She growls at people at the gas station. Dogs, too.


When traveling, she settles down in my lap after half an hour and starts spewing hair. Ethyl has lots of hair.


I have Ethyl hair all over me when we arrive.
 
Well, looky here! I'm all caught up and it's just a little after 2200 my time. Maybe that means I will get to sleep earlier tonight?? 🤔🤔🤔

Have a wonderful Sunday, all. Wring every bit of weekend out of the day! 💖✨💝

I am the sleep watcher and congratulations on your sleep routine! Last night I found my way back to 7 hours of sleep well! 🫂
 
Good morning Wonderer and Wat. I saw that Lili is back and getting her rest,

Subjects from last night about candy, home projects and nasty weather:

I only like dark chocolate and that was not popular in my youth. But I found it in college. Trader Joe’s has the best chocolate for the price.

My essential tremors limit my home projects. I now contract out painting and anything involving a ladder or requiring fine dexterity. I used to wire my own house.

Thank God the weather is getting back to normal temperature which is warmer than last week.

Cats! My GF cat hid in a small box i gave him and then proceeded to tear it to pieces. I no longer can gift my cardboard boxes to him 😂

Mornin B2.

I too am glad the weather is now moderating a bit. It almost felt like”warm” the last few days. And I do like being outside.

Lots of x-rays, and MRIs no answer. I’ve done radial ablation twice.
Such a bummer. Medical mysteries are no fun.

I think you’ve said you’ve been down this route, but have you tried an infectious disease specialist? Maybe an endocrinologist? An allergist?

I’m sure you’ve tried all those. 😕

And I think trying to remove all the mold will help. I wish you luck, brother.
 
Morning all. Eating onto a fresh coat of snow. I didn’t think we were supposed to get this much, about 5 or 6 inches or so. I’ll let it get light and warm up a bit then break out the snow blower. Hope you all have a great day.
Don’t forget to check the shear pins!

Speaking of which, I was mucking around, getting stuff ready to go down to her other property yesterday morning, when I saw this little piece of metal on the driveway.

The offending shear pin from last Monday! What are the odds?

I have to get my shit together with my diet..... not doing great... but today is a new day!!

Happy Sunday to all my friends
Omg don't I know it. I can't fast past 16 or 17 hours lately and the scale is positively the enemy right now.

Being in this house and doing my part to feed 5 other people on occasion is really throwing a wrench in where I want to get health wise.

I'm starting to feel the sore stiff muscles again, My eyesight is now getting better while wearing my glasses. It was getting worse while wearing my glasses the longer I was losing weight and eating healthier. My prescription was changing. Now, not so much. It's all the sugar foods ie sugar, bread, pasta, potatoes etc.

My diet was: all I could eat of meat, butter, bacon and eggs at one sitting. Fast for 34+ hours. Then start over. Last year's results were fast and effective. Over a 8 month period I lost 100 pounds and felt sooooo good. Some rather surprising results arrived with the weight loss and diet.

Libido (to my wife's chagrin): ✓ Activity: ✓ Mobility: ✓ Brain: ✓ No more pre diabetes: ✓ Blood pressure: ✓

I beat myself up for falling off the wagon. But I just keep reminding myself that it took me 15 years to get in this wagon. This next one won't take as long cuz I know this wagon is going where I want it to.

Go find your wagon.

EDIT: At least I didn't try to rhyme this post.
