Haha! Cool front my arse!

Ok, weather man says cool front coming in, wont be as hot as last week. 90* with heat index of 95*, hmm ok that's 10* cooler then yesterday.

First thing at 7:05 Gatorade man swings by and picks up the Gatorade, even the extra cups.

Wearing heavy cotton overalls, kevlar sleeves and a silly apron so that my coveralls don't get shredded. In other words, its fucking hot!

Lost 3lbs today, that was even with me weighing myself after I ate two sandwiches for dinner and a cookie. I even drank at least 2 gallons of water, Gatorade and diet Mt Dew.


Different note;

Radio dj asking listeners if they ever had gone to work "commando". LOL! Surprisingly most of the callers go commando everyday. Of course they are females that work behind a desk.

So??? Any of the female readers ever go commando at work?

Youth

Why is it that today's youth are in a hurry to get nowhere fast? I have a lovely niece that is engaged, no big deal, most times. But she is barely going to be a senior in high school this fall. Says she's been engaged for a while now. But they have broken up so many times in the last few months. I wish her well, but hope she doesn't give up her dreams for him.

Then this weekend I was helping another niece that was being taught a lesson by her dad about her car. (Dead battery) So she called me up for help. Took her to auto store for them to test battery, but instead of willing to wait for test after they charged it up, she wanted to just buy a new one. An hour and a half later, other shopping done, turns out battery is fine, just needed charged. Oh and she tells me the door jam switch is broken, so that may be why her battery drains. Power inside vehicle wont fully cut off if switch isn't pressed. So she needs to open and close passenger door but occasionally forgets.

Nothing I can say or do for either, since I'm not thier dad, so just get to be the best Tio possible and be there if they need my help.

sigh!

Two amazing days!



Ok, where to start. Ok, yesterday! Yeah! Why is it that young folks don't know how to stay up late and go all day? I was allowed to take 3 of my nieces to Paramount's King's Island. An awesome amusement park with lots of coasters and other fun filled rides. It was a hot and nasty day but that worked for us. It meant most of the folks were in the water park.

Oh, all three of these beautiful young ladies are my nieces, but can you guess which one/s is related to me? Yup that's me holding Sammi's monkey as we wait in line for Firehawk. But yeah, they stayed up late the night before and were tired by 6 on our day at the park.

Day 2

Today was my 2nd amazing day. I was out and about paying bills, and my errands took me by an old friend's restaurant. I met this lovely lady over 20 years ago when I worked at Target and we always have a pleasant conversation when we see each other on occasion. So I figured what the hell, worst thing that could happen is she and her husband say no to my desserts.

Surprisingly, she said she'd love to do business with me and was happy that I thought of them first to help me start my business. Now I just need to wait for them to return from their vacation so that I can take in some desserts for them to sample.

I am pumped up atm, I may even go buy myself a bottle of wine to celebrate. Only way to toast will be by having a glass in each hand, no matter, I am happy for myself and my accomplishments.

YAY ME!


Wishing you all the best that life has to offer, ty all.

Hot Tub Time Machine!

Lol, yeah catchy title, it makes promises of debauchery and lots of T&A.
Instead it is no where near as raunchy as the title would make it sound.
Its actually funny at times.

All about 3 friends and a nephew to 1 of them going back in time to
1986. Damn, I remember 86 just like it was 20 some odd years ago. LOL!

Which leads to the stupid improbable question, If you could go back, would you?
Or maybe questions, once there would you do things differently, walk the same
line as before?

I'd go back, in a heart beat! I loved 80's music! Sadly, yes there are some
regrets I've made along the way that maybe I'd do slightly different. Learn
to follow my own voice/path a lot sooner then I did originally.


Food for imaginary thoughts.

Wishing you all the best, have a great, safe and happy 4th!

Wish me luck. =)
