I KNEW that I’d eventually find my concert ear plugs! Unfortunately, this happened months after I bought a new pair. Apparently Past Paulie thought putting them into a little-used drawer in my armoire. I finally found them when I was getting out the items necessary to reattach a button on the pair of shorts I was wearing yesterday.
Wordle: five, my starter was GLARE
Wordle in 5.
The exit interview was nothing exceptional. Questions about my boss, the division, communication to us, whether I was included, if my opinion mattered. Nothing unexpected.
There was mowing last night- 2/3 of a pasture, maybe more later. Such a pleasant evening.

I’m loving Fake Fall (TM-Jenka).

Allan worked on rebuilding the exterior of the hot tub yesterday – apparently some critters got into it & built a nest?
& since he was doing the exterior work, decided to drain it, clean it & all that stuff too.
I just worked all day & occasionally had to go help hold something, etc.
Cold and rainy in Spain today. At least it will be cold at the finish on the top of a Cat 1 climb! Looks like miserable racing…
Jenka says blog is down, but seems to be working for me?
Blog hasn’t worked in Chrome since yesterday around noon-ish. Using Firefox now. I wonder why it hates Chrome?
I had veggies I had to use up so I made baked chicken and roasted veggies for dinner. Assembling some leftovers and other food for the cabin this weekend.
Holy shit. I *just* realized that somehow Chrome changed the suffix to “.com”. WTF? I fixed it and now it’s working fine on Chrome.
I had a problem yesterday after lunch, but it seemed to be the server timing out. After it recovered, I haven’t seen the problem again.
took me forever after 2 guesses – but I got Wordle in 3 !!!
We left the house yesterday! Dad wanted to go out to dinner so we did an early outing to Chilli’s. As much as I don’t like chain restaurants the food was tasty. ,
Question to the ITP peeps, I take him to the restaurant and we use his wheelchair, I don’t have a handicap tag so had to drop him at the front door then go park. Seems there should be a provision for something like that. Should I have just taken the chance of getting a ticket? I would not want to have to come back down to fight it in court.
Thoughts?
I haven’t done it -because Dad could walk slowly with the walker, until he couldn’t walk at all.
But I would maybe park there, take him inside & to the table, then go move the car.
OR, just park far away & have a longer wheelchair ride.
Does your dad not already have a handicap hangtag? Just use his while you’re there. If he doesn’t have a hangtag I’m sure he could get one.
It’s pretty easy to get a hang tag. I had to get one back in the day for my ex because her car was titled in my name. In Georgia at least it was a matter of getting a letter from her doctor confirming the need, and then a trip to the tag office. The minor hassle of getting a hang tag will be richly rewarded by not having to move the car around when you get your father out.
And OH HELL NO, I would never try to bootleg a handicapped parking spot in Florida of all places. There are way too many people with way too much time on their hands and nothing better to do than report your ass to parking enforcement.
Thanks for the thoughts, getting him to the DMV may be difficult. I’ll see what can be done on line.
I agree with David, taking that chance in Florida would net me a ticket quickly.
I have a new goal in life- sent by my 12 year old brain- from an article in today’s Guardian. An article describing problems with beavers in the Netherlands:
“When the water is really high, I’m lying in bed at night with my fingers crossed, praying the beavers aren’t wreaking havoc somewhere,” confesses Cindy de Jonge-Stegink, a beaver consultant in the north of the Netherlands.
I want “beaver consultant” on a business card.
Howdy folks. Don’t know what’s going on with the blog’s hosting. Frustrating me as much as everyone else since it’s out of my hands. Really sapping whatever joy remains for me in keeping this afloat.
