Thursdays seem to be the day that I have the least to say.

    Speaking of tread, John, reach out if you’d like to skip a trip to CarMax (see my comment from yesterday). Every active ITP reader has my number.

    My Wordle looked like a big green foam hand today, with 5 tries. I did create a yellow plus sign in Wordle last week…that was a first.

    I scored cheap tickets for Devo and the B-52s for Saturday night from VetTix. It definitely pays off for me to keep an eye on that site.

      David, I’ve been so distracted by other attentions, I was behind in my ITP lurking the last few days.

      Doh! I completed the Honda Element sell deal at Carmax first thing this morning. Once motivated (3 cars and only a 2-car garage), I decided to strike while the iron was hot.

      To be honest, I think you dodged a bullet. While a decent car with a low 130,000 miles, it was a …. 5-speed manual. It will need a clutch at some point. Maybe sooner than later.

      And for a beginning driver, learned to drive and learning to drive a clutch at the same time is asking a lot of anybody!

    Wordle in 4 and almost a 3.

    Went past the auction site and wandered about. Found some steel grates (new, unused) which I could se for the French drain I want to put in the driveway. I;m currently the only bidder.

    Little dogs to the vet this morning. George gets to miss this trip.

    Rain predicted Sunday while I’m working CX at the Coweta Fair Grounds. yippee.

    I was feeling grouchy for no real reason yesterday, but I did rally & went to have dinner at Annette’s (& hear about her knee replacement fun/PT/exercises etc.) It’s been about 2 weeks – she seems to be coming along pretty good.

    Did get a little walk in – but my watch isn’t syncing again – so I’ll get that figured out at some point. It’s happened a few times recently – I wonder if its finally getting old & just doesn’t want to work anymore.

    But you aren’t going to report back on how the Mercer meal was?!

    Last night was the only night I don’t have something going on after work this week. We ordered in salads and watched the first two episodes of the Diplomat season 3.

      To be honest, last night’s MCM missed the mark a little. This was the first time that I wasn’t blown away with the offering.

        I was a big MCM fan early on, back when Lance was cooking out of his house, but yes, there were some consistency issues, so I dropped off after a while. I’m glad to hear that he seems to be mostly hitting the mark on his offerings.

        That’s disappointing. That meal was like everything I like best.

        I haven’t ordered MCM since they moved to their new digs, mostly because it’s too far just for takeout.

        I’d order that schnitzel meal I had on Sunday again in a heartbeat. MCM usually has quality meals, large enough for two, so the $27.50 price is very reasonable.

    Back from the periodontist – he can always thing of something to get me to spend more money. Next up (some day in my opinion) a gum graft for a slightly receding spot between 2 teeth.

    Went to a Goodwill and saw a three series tv show that looked interesting. Unfortunately, one of the twelve DVDs wasn’t there so I left it behind.

    Debbie had asked me to dump the holding tank on the LQ and I had forgotten when camped. I thought the Loves truck stop in Hogansville had a dump, but I couldn’t find any sign of it (they are remodeling the joint). A quick web search had the Georgia welcome center on 85-N at the Alabama line. A quick 30 minute drive with a flip flop in Alabama and the dump station was very convenient and quick. In and out in under 5 minutes.
