Good morning everyboomie.


Welcome to the weekend!


It is the weekend right??


Today I wanted to do something to help ensure we get some more rain soon, so I washed my truck.


It'll stay clean at least a couple of days.


What is everyone planning for the weekend?


I have few plans. Actually I have no plans.


Whatever your plans, have a happy day everyone.


joe

Joe, knowing you, something will come your way to fill your days! Hope whatever it is, you enjoy it!

I have a race this morning and then lunch with Peter. I will pick up Nugget on my way home to come stay for a week or so. Maybe it will make Shadow happy.

Have a happy day all!

Ana

Enjoy your no plan day, Joe.

Enjoy your race and lunch, Ana. Have fun with Nugget, and hope it helps make Shadow happy.

I fell asleep with the light on again. I have a voice lesson today, which is good. I'm suddenly stressed about next week, however, because I looked at my schedule for my first job which lately has only given me very few hours, and it appears that they've given me full time hours for the upcoming week. This interferes with mandatory resets, not to mention all the other projects I have for my second job. I'm going to have to somehow get a hold of manager and see if something can be worked out. She knows I have another job, so I'm not sure why she didn't at least contact me first to see if I could work so many hours.

Anyway, as for now, I'm going back to sleep, as I can't do anything about it yet. Have a great Saturday, everyone.

Good Morning Joe, Ana, venus and everyone. Whatever you do Joe enjoy! Ana sounds like fun! Venus play time with jupiter this weekend? Coffee and tea are ready.
Wishing you all a great Saturday!

Good Morning Boomers

Joe, enjoy whatever comes your way today.

Ana, have a nice day with Peter.

Venus, happy day wishes.

Gerry, coffee is welcomed this morning. Have a great day.

A walk with Nina this morning then a trip to BJ's. Wishing everyone a super good day!

My plans for the weekend are to sit around, doors shut against the hot sun, under a nice fan. People on the corner (the former squatter's house) were up all night with about 8 people, setting up for yet ANOTHER party. It's going to be a scorcher today if you are out in the sun. Can't wait to see who the party is for and how many hours of sleep we all lose tonight (into the wee hours of tomorrow) with probably a live DJ and loudspeaker. Maybe they will have another laser show. That would be nice. Party city over there and I was just remarking to my neighbor how they have been better about not having a party every month. Well I spoke too soon.

Then last night, a huge truck, towing a small boat kept parking around my house. First across the street, guy got out, walked to my side, then came back an hour later to 'check' on the boat with another car that drove up. Then later, another 'check' and finally a few hours later, the boat/truck moved to my side of the street. This morning it's gone (at least for now) Don't know where it belongs, but we have so many people with so many vehicles of all kinds that there is no room at the curb to park. They tend to leave my area alone. Guess word got out that I put 'notices' on vehicles that stay over the 3 day limit. If I didn't, the people around the corner would use my area as a permanent parking spot for themselves. I make nice YELLOW notices, fold them the same size as the parking enforcement guys do and say nicely, "City code xxxx forbids parking over 72 hours, etc." I quote the exact code. Then I say, "please move your vehicle". It works every time. If it doesn't, and it's really abandoned, I can call enforcement, they tag it and 3 days later, it's towed. Usually don't have to do that anymore. Yup, the weird cat (possum, raccoon,etc.) lady's reputation is well known around here. Sometimes it pays to be a bit ornery.

Tonight will be a hoard of cars for the party, parked everywhere, probably blocking my driveway and the neighbor's, but I won't complain as long as they are gone tomorrow. Can't complain about everything, but I wish I could. Wouldn't be so bad, except I'm close to a corner (actually 2) on a street which is the direct route to the shopping center (Costco, Target, and all that) and traffic just guns the engine at the stop sign (if they stop) and comes by my house like it's a race track. Loads of near misses over the years. It's so hard to pull out into fast traffic when you can't see left or right from the driveway. My 87 year old neighbor is especially vulnerable. It's like pulling onto a freeway, from a dead stop and trying to get up to the freeway speed from Zero before the cars attack. Ugh.

Off to watch the neighborhood in between doing yet another jigsaw puzzle. Keeps me busy.

Super Saturday ya'll

Son is off to work. I'm heading up to find food. Then I'm making bread and yogurt. I made bread yesterday but had a brain blooper and set the oven 100 degrees too high. You can imagine what happened. The bread itself is good, but the crust is a bit burnt Gonna try again today. I've never done that before in all the years I've been making bread.

After that will be some chores with grandsons. That will not be pleasant as they like to try to get out of said chores. I'm not susceptible to dragging feet and mopey faces, other than to find more chores for them to do until they quit dragging and moping. Eventually they will learn to just do it, get it over with cheerfully.....or I will get more stuff done.


Time to get going.....

Good afternoon everyone, have a Super day. I've been baking all day for a fundraiser Bake sale and dinner tomorrow. It is for one of our Eagles member who is going thru Chemo for a second time, and can't work. Tonight I'm having a friend over for dinner (Lemon Butter Dill Shrimp), salad, and Rolls.
