Yes, I will kick my own ass later for saying that.

Day off.  Snow came and went, now gone.  Still some rain for today.  "Slept in" until 5:15.  Usual domestic crap on the agenda, along with a few beers being unceremoniously killed.  Angels-Yankees game at 4.  They better start playing like it means something.

32 degrees here.  At least it's dry for a change and should stay that way until Thursday. :thumbs:

Back to work...SOS all week.

My Titans got their a$$es handed to them yesterday.   :bawl:  0-5 so far.  We even make Detroit look good.   :bawl:

It looks warm outside, but it ain't. :(

The cold weather is here and the runny noses showed up with it.  Anyone got a mop?

I should be in a crappy mood.  It is Monday, I have a metric effing buttload of stuff to get prepped and painted by Friday morning for a convention, a list of other stuff that needs doing and the day to day house stuff in addition. I also am getting a minor cold and will have to hit the gym today feeling like I just chain smoked half a pack.


It's a gorgeous day outside, sunny and cool with the first fall colors in the offing, the holidays about to roll around again and I woke up this morning and rolled over and wrapped my arms around the most beautiful woman in the world and got to hold her for a while before the day started. I could go to bed right now and it would have been a great day. :-)

Trade?  We're already past peak and the yard is starting to fill up.  If it weren't still wet out there I'd be raking/mowing/vacuuming today.

We had a freeze last night and Mt LeConte had snow over the weekend.

Hellooooo.....it's mid-October!!!!

It is beautifully sunny though and up to 45 now, supposed to hit upper 50's today, upper 60's tomorrow and 70's by Wednesday.....and there is no rain in the forecast until Friday..... :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Just got the listing for a foreclosure....they have increased my referral fee that I have to pay, reduced my commission amount, and increased the work load.  :banghead:

Went to Sam's yesterday ...such a bad place to go when hungry. :thatsright:

Anyhow...kept running into these two ladies throughout the store and commenting on different stuff. We got to the baked goods area and there were these boxed up Panettone's, which is sort of an Italian pound cake with orange zest and raisins. They were saying that it's supposed to be wonderful turned into a bread pudding. There's a recipe on the side....I'm thinking it needs to be made in my kitchen today. With a lovely buttery sauce, maybe with some B&B in it.... :drool:

Not sure how it's going to go with the chili and corn muffins that I've already started....but comfort food is comfort food... :-)

About 55, sunny and gorgeous on the Common today.  There's really nothing like autumn in Boston.

Pretty busy weekend. Started out with having the pro put out four harpoon traps for the mole(s) that have found my lawn to be a great source of earthworms. Two of the traps tripped, but only snagged one mole. He's dead. Graveyard dead.   :evillaugh:

Washed the motorcycle and lubed the chain. It was about time - hadn't done that since late May.  :o 

Otherwise prepping the bike and the various lawn equipment for storage. Pulled the blade off the 22" propelled mower. It looked like a piece of freakin' angle iron. Edge? HA! I've seen sharper edges on a basketball! Changed the plugs, air filters, etc. Will change the oil in spring.

Bowled a 545 last night.

Formed a new brass quintet. Had our first rehearsal yesterday. Lotsa good vibes - I think we're gonna keep ourselves.  :rotf:

Some names being bandied about:

On the cheesy side:

"All Lacquered Up"
"Pipes, Pistons, and Slides"

On the more esoteric side:

"Highway 63 Brass Alliance"
"63 Brass Coalition"

A bit more formal:

Central Missouri Brass
Mid-Missouri Brass
Opus Five
Missouri Brass [Quintet]
Harmonium Brass [Quintet]

We'll figure something out.  :hyper:

It's cloudy and 67 right now.  I like days like today.

My brother-in-law, who reminds me of balloon boy's dad (not in the way he looks but in the way he acts), did a jib jab of my son, husband, nephews and him.  It's pretty funny so I thought I would post it because I am bored.  He didn't do a very good job of cropping one of my nephews heads but he isn't the best with computer skills.

Add to that the fact that the Doc told me no more caffeine or alcohol, and you have a crabby BKG this Monday. FML.

Yup... no more caffeine.  And I've spent the last decade believing Diet Coke is the nectar of the god's.. :bawl: Fortunately, I get to taper down over the next few weeks. Ugh.

I gave up caffeine years ago....except for in chocolate.

Once you get past the withdrawal headaches...you'll be ok.

I gave up caffeine free Diet Coke in May....it was really hard. Now I'm hooked on Key Lime "fizzy water" from Walmart....it's Sam's brand. It's 89cents for a 2 liter bottle. No calories, caffeine or sodium. It comes in about 6 or 8 different flavors, but the lime is my favorite.

I have a hiatel(sp?) hernia because of  scar tissue from a punctured diaphragm. The 6-8 Diet Cokes a day were killing me.....I honestly thought the heartburn attacks were going to do me in....
