I’m in the process of cleaning up, and out, my basement; it’s a big job. I’m also trying to start some indoor gardening. Unfortunately my first attempt to grow mushrooms failed, mold started growing in the bag.
Wordle: two, my starter was. ALTER. My first Wordle deuce since January!
Shrinkflation is at it again, this time with 8 O’clock Coffee. The last bag I purchased is now down to 11 ounces.
I tried watching the first episode of “The Paper”, and hated it. If you haven’t heard, “The Paper” is the reboot of “The Office”, in which the film crew from “The Office” tracks down the remnants of Dunder Mifflin at a paper company. It appears that Oscar will be the only returning regular character.

I baked a loaf of bread yesterday morning. Unfortunately I didn’t bake the loaf that I wanted to bake, since I didn’t realize that I accidentally turned the virtual page to another recipe. By the time I realized my error, it was too late. As I used this bread to make a ham sandwich last night I realized that it would be excellent for muffulettas.
I also swung by a house and picked up some oak logs which were on their curb. I didn’t take them all, just enough to either use for mushroom growing, or dry out for a fire next year. I was intending to buy mushroom spawn plugs while in South Carolina this weekend and drill them into these logs soon…

Very fun weekend in Thomson with some of the Chattanooligans. We sat around and drank beer, and had a large steak dinner on Friday.
On Saturday morning we set out for a nice, 45-mile ride. Later in the afternoon we went to a blues festival, where the headline was Chuck Leavell. This was the first time that I’ve heard of this annual festival, which has also featured musicians such as Winton Marsalis and Trombone Shorty.
On Sunday morning we went out for a 34-mile ride, before sitting around to eat lunch and drink a couple of beers before dispersing.

Another solution from my list, and I scored a five. I’m not good at Wordle, and that’s bothering me.
This website’s speed, or more accurately lack thereof, has pissed me off. After trying many times I am able to post this, which will be my last post of the week, and if things don’t improve significantly next week, may be last post ever.

I may need to take a break from blogging because this site’s host is not responding to my support requests, and I’m frustrated.
On the positive side, I have finally installed a SSL certificate.

Met my buddy Chip at Rodney Scott’s BBQ yesterday and ate too much.
Afterwards I drove to check out Monday Night Brewing’s new space at “The Grove”, replacing their original space I believe, and drank too much.
Going to try to keep my mouth shut more.

This weekend I traveled to Asheville to see Bully perform. This time her concert was a near my plans in Brevard Friday. So, in two weeks I saw Bully in Huntsville and Asheville, but not in Atlanta, five blocks from the ITP Estate.
On Friday morning I drove over to Brevard with the intent of rewriting my history by once again hiking John’s Rock and Cat Gap, this time alone. I arrived to a completely empty parking lot with the facilities fenced off, clearly a consequence of Helene. Anyway, I neither felt comfortable leaving my car in the remote lot alone, nor hiking alone in an area that had no one around if I were to get into difficultly. Such is the plight of the solo hiker… This was mildly frustrating as I had eaten a large breakfast with the intent on taking a long hike. After abandoning my original plan I regrouped at a local coffee shop, and found a different hike; I wore myself out doing 8.6 miles.
Yesterday I finally tasted pawpaw! I wish I had a source for more. The three trees I planted, at least the two that survived, and the two I will plant later this year will take years to produce fruit. I also ran into a former coworker while walking around the small festival in Taylors, SC, which was quite unexpected.

As I’ve traveled around seeing how nearly everyone has turned their body into a scratch pad, I’ve conjured a fantasy in which I hit it off with a woman who says to me “I’m so glad that you don’t have any tattoos.” and I say “Ditto.” Lol, it will never happen…
Happy weekend to all.
Wordle: four, my starter was DIRTY. Argh, changed my mind at the last second and threw away a three.
