I was looking for some Yellowfin Tuna to catch a few days ago and saw a pretty big sea snake. It's the first one of those I've seen in many years.

Scary

I do too!
Did you see the pics of "Pinky the dolphin" that I posted before?
...if not, Google Her in Cameron, LA!

I did indeed - very pretty! I had never heard of pink dolphins until then

It would seem that I did, but I know you can handle it.

I can. But not gonna mom anyone other that my little girl!

 

[Lilianna23]

The tempered part is what I need(Ed) to know.


Please be Verra keerful.

Thanks for watching over me, Dad! Yes, I'll be careful!

 

[Lilianna23]

We get that part. It's the lotsa practice part.

I know. I'm having to do things myself now that I didn't have to before. I'm learning.

 

[Lilianna23]

Up. Coffee. TDK has eaten. Still have a bit to pack and the loading to do. At least it's cooler this morning, tanks to the gods.

Did you get there safely? Mom asking!

 

[Lilianna23]

Morning Wat. I have insomnia at 3 and tossing too much. The dog got me up now. Trying to get back to sleep

I hope you got more sleep, B2!

 

[Lilianna23]

Better. Not great but better than Saturday.

I'm glad!

I am (sort of) one of those. The uncaffeinated freak. Not the wake up happy freak. Who DOES that?!?

 

[Lilianna23]

RIGHT!

Right on!

Yeah!

Oh wait…. Whoops!

Hey, sis!

 

[Lilianna23]

You said “balls”, “energy balls”, “mini balls” “energy balls” and rolled them into protein powder so they’re not sticky…..

I did that for YOU! I was gonna add "lotsa balls" but thought that might be overdoing it!

 

[likes2watchU]

It's that time again...
Sweet Dreams everyone

 

[Lilianna23]

Looks amazing. I’m sure tastes even better. Even the balls!

I usually pinch a bit of ball dough to taste it. I don't really use a recipe so they tend to be a bit different each time I make them.

The cheesecake bars are really good! I cut them in pieces today. Most got packed for the freezer.

 

[Lilianna23]

Ugh ... morning

I bet you powered through the day like the bad-ass queen you are!

 

[Lilianna23]

I have 2 big education documents to work on need to get my nursing cause and licensure updated and money keeps pouring out of my checking account

Your work doesn't pay for that?

 

[Lilianna23]

I found this online recipe works well for making them with protein powder in the balls themselves.
Then I roll in a 50/50 mix of protein powder & cocoa powder.
(I skip the oats b/c they hurt my tummy)
Peanut Butter Protein Balls (No Food Processor!) - Fit Foodie Finds

I always put protein powder in the EBs. This time, I added a lot more to increase the protein amount. They also have quinoa, chia seeds, and almonds in them.

Thanks for the recipe! I bookmarked it!

 

[Lilianna23]

Have s great day. Seem to have the Mommas and Poppas playing in my head for some reason. Old brain cells firing

A little "Monday, Monday?"

 

[Lilianna23]

So. I am down 109 lbs. 1.1 lbs from the 2's

You all know how ________ (insert emotion) I am to admit/talk about this....

I have a new goal by new year and then march.

Final goal by my day 2026...then I will get my Lennox spice jars and a trip.... start saving lilianna ... we need to go see our pups...and of course Greylag.....

This is amazing, K! And I think it's very brave of you to be so open and vulnerable here. You're taking control of your health. I applaud you!

I found one this weekend. Little Red Belly, about the size of a #2 pencil. I always move them to safe spaces when I find them. Put him under the wooden steps next to some bushes.

Had one a few years ago that loved curling up under the pool pump motor. Moved him to service the pump, and he headed right back. Had to move him a half dozen times before he got the hint. I put him back when I was done.

Fortunately we don't have any dangerous snakes here. If you see one, you can pick it up. I'm always moving them to safety, away from the mower and out of the driveway. They eat shit I don't want around, so we're on the same team.

As I’m over forty pages behind I’m not even going to attempt a catch up, but wanted to give a quick update.

Our Virginia Vineyard getaway was a true success. Cabin was quaint and hot tub was warm. The wines were refreshing (we’re on a White Wine kick…and have been for a while) and the meats and cheeses good. Our cabin hosts took care of supper on our arrival day and I had the best rainbow trout I think I’ve ever had, bar ones I’ve caught! We just ate winery food the next couple and honestly that was fine by me!

Been staying with Momma getting her ready for the upcoming procedure. She’s getting a little worried as the event gets closer but we spent some quality time together this weekend, watching the grandbaby and watching old movies. It rained so cooled things down and it was nice to just spend time working hard at nothing all day.

Will let all know how things go this week. I have three docs appts this week…talk about piss poor planning…

Some wine grape MZ——

It's normal for her to feel apprehensive about her procedure. You're doing all the right things, H! A good son. Let me know how I can help. Hugs to you both!

Did you get there safely? Mom asking!

Whatcha gonna do if he gets to the point of needing a spankin'?

 

[Lilianna23]

So, I miss a couple of days worth of content... So what exactly did I miss???

Just getting buried in summer stuff, so it's been difficult keeping up. Still slowly working on the old rusty car. One side is done, with four patch panels needed in addition to the big panel. Took out the rusty panel on the other side, and hopefully that's less work.

We've been getting a lot of smoke from the Canadian fires. AQI numbers finally allowed a lawn mowing last night. Now it looks like a mowed hay field!

Planning a quick trip this week. Celebrating being married to the same woman for a quarter century, so we figured we'd do something special. Spending money on vacation, as opposed to spending money at home!

Anyway, hope you all have a good day. I highly doubt I'll be able to catch up on what I missed. It's like 30 pages!

Have a wonderful trip! 25 years! Congratulations!

 

[Lilianna23]

I’m just gonna wait for a L2 summary to catch up.

That's the best way when you're far behind!

 

[Lilianna23]

My day.

11am-ish Last week during the sales conference, recorded a panel. I tried to move the file from its original location to new location. Somehow it got stuck and wouldn’t load in the new location, and it doesn’t appear to be in the old location.

Of course, my boss needs this file today, but it’s caught in a cyber no man’s land…

I am pretty sure it’s not gone, but I’ll be godamned if I can find it…

At lunchtime, I took my zero turn tractor down to the farm to mow the lawn there. I got most of the lawn done, but got the mower stuck.

I was going to pull it out with my tractor, except it wouldn’t start…

I walked home. I needed the steps.

It’s been that kind of day…

Can your IT team help you recover the file?

 

[dkak001]

Hey Lil! Looks like I'm catching you here again. Up later than usual...

So good night!
(All youze other guyz too!)
