Happy Tax Day! (not really)
I unfortunately did not ride last night, not because of my tire, but rather because I tweaked my left knee in the afternoon and decided to protect it for Spring Tune Up. I was bummed because I was really looking forward to riding last night.
I wonder if TV will ever willingly stop advertising prescription drugs, or if the government (in whom I have no faith) will realize that prescription drug advertisements are just as dangerous as cigarette ads of yore. Mind you, I’m not a doctor, but merely listening to the possible side effects of these modern-day snake oils scares me.
Now that I’ve fixed the day/time settings on Wee Little Farm’s sprinkler system (user error), I have decided to gamble and plant a few more things out that probably shouldn’t be outside yet — cucumbers and okra. The transplants were germination trials, but since they sprouted I might as well give them an opportunity to provide me with an early crop.
Wordle: four, my starter was PRIME
Wordle in 5.
My “lunch date” was a no show as he got tied up at the doctors office. His health isn’t good and I’m trying to be supportive, or at least available. I did manage a stop at the greatest hardware store in the world (that I know of) and got a fuel filter for my leaf blower.
Games meeting was pretty much a snooze and I was back home by 9.
Puppies are now wiggling out from under the cardboard wall, so another couple wire ties will be added.

so Mr Vauguebooker – gonna tell us where the greatest hardware store in the world is?
I’m guessing it’s the ACE on Scott Boulevard. Or it could be the ACE in Va-Hi. Definitely an ACE.
No contest.
Handy Ace Hardware, Tucker.

Ding ding ding… HwC knows the truth. I think it’s also the largest hardware store I’ve ever been in.
That would have been my guess. Still the best after the fire and move many years ago now?
i guess i should go to that store someday……..
At least I got the Ace part right! 🙂
Even though it will never rain again, I should probably get out an mow my front lawn sometime soon.
weeds will grow – no matter what
I have some patches of grass, which is amazing since I’ve done pretty much everything except spray killer on it.
Allan got the camper all ready to go – we are now going to Conyers tonight – stay at a friend’s place, so I can more easily work in the morning & not have to sit in the truck for so long trying to pretend to work. We will see how early we get there tomorrow, I still think 11am is plenty early – but Allan disagrees.
His bike is fixed – I suggested a ride last night to be SURE it is all fixed, but we ended up doing other crap.
So you will be at the Sunflower Farm at daybreak? 😀
I am shooting for 10:30-11:00, so you, Allan, and Sal will probably be there and set up by the time I arrive. I might take my bike out for a short ride tomorrow in order to ensure it’s ready for the weekend.
I say 11am, but will anyone listen to me?
What’s that? 😀
See you then.
The first line of the NYT morning headline newsletter says: “Good morning. It’s tax day. I wish you many happy returns.”
A year and four months after our dog Ralph passed away we are ready for a new pupper. We put in an application with a rescue and she is coming to our house after work today so we can meet the dog. I am excited and nervous.
what kind of rescue? just a mutt? how big?
This IS exciting!! Life is much better with dogs.
You are rich, buy all of Steve’s & Debbie’s puppies! 😀
Good luck finding a compatible companion.
Life IS much better with dogs, I just get so heartbroken when they pass. This rescue is called Tiny Paws Atlanta and the dog in question is like some sort of chihuahua mix/mutt. Our last dog we adopted from Angels Among Us rescue which was also really good.
My last dog Eddie was a chihuahua/pitt bull mix. He was an absolutely adorable mess, and I think that’ll be a lovely dog for you.
Life is better with dogs, and yet, I don’t foresee having a dog or a lawn ever again. Maybe some day on a dog, hell fucking no on a lawn. I’m still recovering from years of burnout of doing everything for everyone else, and I’m finally bringing the focus in on me.
Good work there, David. I find mowing the lawn very therapeutic and I have A LOT of lawn to mow.
All of this I completely feel, as well. This will be the last 4-walled dwelling with a yard for us.
we are way too selfish to have a dog, but maybe someday when we aren’t working. And – Allan really doesn’t want a dog that sheds, and a designer doodle dog is not something we’d want either.
One reason why we chose this particular dog is because it is short haired, thus minimal shedding.
Do not, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, get a goddamn doodle of ANY SORT unless you want an absolutely BATSHIT dog. Doodles concentrate the very worst elements of the breeds that get combined. I’d get another chihuahua mix in a heartbeat though if I ever get inspired. The other major factor to consider is the smaller the dog, the smaller the dogshit. That really becomes a thing over time.
don’t worry – we would NEVER pay for a doodle dog, and probably wouldn’t accept it even if it was free.
For real. The size of the dogshit is the number 1 reason why we are considering this particular dog. I would put up with shedding before having to deal with huge dogshit.
