One of the pumpkins that I retrieved last week from Barb’s neighborhood had an unusual characteristic. When I cracked it open, it has strands inside which were the thickness and consistency of cooked spaghetti. Shame on me for not being adventurous enough to taste it, nor to think that I should save the seeds in case it proved to be a beneficial crossbreed.
Last night’s dinner was really good. Because I’d eaten a lot of chicken at lunch, I ate bibimbap instead of the renowned fried chicken.
Wordle: FAIL, my starter was AFOUL
Now that it’s been out and had a point update, I’m making the transition to the version 26s of Apple’s operating systems — iOS, iPadOS, MacOS (Tahoe). I will have to update an Apple Watch when a new one is purchased.
my IOS is 18. whatever . What is 26?
26 is the version number they released this year. They switched from sequential release numbers to years.
Wordle in 4.
I’m still on an 18 version and the latest didn’t seem like anything I could really use, so I’ll just drag my feet into the future.
Footings done. I was going to make concrete today, but the ceilings seem really low. Hopefully skies will clear. At one point, I buried the auger and the tractor decided that would be the perfect time to have the battery fail completely. New battery now installed.

did you buy a cement mixer at Harbor Freight (or was it Northern Tool?)
ours has paid for itself many times over, so much easier than using a wheelbarrow.
Old fashioned wheelbarrow for me. If I had a mixer, no telling what trouble I could get into.
that mixer was only like $200 bucks – Allan said best money he ever spent. Just saying.
If you asked him, he’d bring it down to your place & help you too
I like to stay current, just in case I need to become employed again.
I know at some point I will have to upgrade, but not quite yet.
I’ve never had Gaja, mostly because I don’t get down to EAV very often. I do love Korean fried chicken.
I had my therapist after work and then I met Sarah at Ziba’s. We had been talking last week about how we haven’t been to Ziba’s in years. It was great! Plenty of people in there but not crowded. Good vibe. I got a pasta dish and it was SO HUGE. I ate my fill and it looked like I hadn’t even touched it. The take out container was heavy as a brick. Definitely good value for the money.
Can’t remember if I mentioned that the combo lock on the cabin failed. It is the only access into the house except for an old garage door, the only key for which lives on Kevin’s keychain. We called a locksmith and they are supposed to go out this afternoon. If he gets it open we’ll go up there this weekend.
Jenka – the crockpot chicken meal was only so so, it didn’t thrill us enough to want to make it again. It wasn’t bad, just nothing all that interesting. I’m sure if I thought hard enough I could come up with something to make it better, but I doubt I will do that.
Oh well, they can’t all be gems!
Sure, you can make it to Ormewood Park and Grant Park, but not EAV? Thanks for nothing!!! 😀
Yep, because honestly I don’t want to see the high school clique that is the population of EAV. I avoid them as much as possible.
high school clique – that’s funny
Jenka – I’ve been told Roo Vineyard is the new winery to go to just a little north of Ellijay.
(that is from JoAnna, she really likes the place)
Good to know, thank you!
10 mile bike ride this morning on the Beltline. It’s part of my new “moob yer azz” program. Debbie’s ex-husband was Iraqi and I have adopted his pronounciation.
I called some bad behavior on my brother’s part yesterday, and he didn’t take it well. This setting boundaries shit with people definitely isn’t for the faint of heart. With that said, my divorce harded the fuck out of me, and I refuse to abide bad behavior, especially from anyone close to me. After not responding for about 18 hours, he replied that he’s going to sit with this for a couple of days.
On a much better front, Debbie and I have been dating for 18 months now. Time flies when you’re having fun!
Congratulations to you both! As far as setting boundaries, you have to protect yourself above all else. He’ll get it, or he won’t.
Its always fun to deal with siblings – I hope it all works out, as I know you’ve enjoyed having him around more.
And – 18 month with Debbie – I know you are doing something to celebrate that. 😉
wordle in 6 – that took a while
Shortened my walk today because I couldn’t be bothered. Was going to stop at Midway Pub for a beer until I realized how shabby the clothes I am wearing look.
