I know that others have more going on than I do these days, but the next four weeks are going to be a hectic ones for me.

By and large Friday’s home repair work went well. Hank and I replaced a bathroom vanity and sink, and had to deal with some testy issues created by 67 year old plumbing and Atlanta’s “clean” water. I now wish the ITP Estate was equipped with a whole house water filter. There are still some minor issues with the outgoing side, but I am continuing to debug and monitor the situation.

With the exception of numerous bodily aches and pains, some unfortunately new ones in addition to those which have plagued me for a while, it was a good weekend.

The Bundesliga season has come to a close. Shockingly Bayern Munich’s ten-year reign as champion has ended (they finished in third), and Werder Bremen avoided relegation. I am going to try to attend a Bundesliga match after the Belgium bike ride week later this year.

I’ve reach the level of in Duolingo for German where I can’t easily complete the lessons. Yesterday I made five mistakes in one lesson block, got really frustrated, and gave up.

Big fingers crossed that the project on which I am about to start doesn’t go tits up and force me to call a plumber… Update on Monday.

Discovered I don’t have enough time to process a request to renew my Global Entry status, so this morning I am headed to see if I can obtain TSA PreCheck for my travels this year.

Remembering the days when I felt good, and ride my bike; they seem so long ago. A late smattering of rain combined with apathy kept me from riding last night. Instead I made a Kroger run, forgetting to check for Turkey as Barb requested.

Remember the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020?
Remember when I was not alarmed because I had plenty in stock already?
May 2024, and I am down to my final three rolls.
To be fair, I have been the only one to use the toilet paper since April 2022, but still.

I made nachos for dinner last night. Why? Because the temperature in the house was cool enough to handle the use of my ancient oven.

My wordplay has been weak this week.

Nothing new to report.

I am trying to fix something at my house, and my house is being the complete pain in the ass that I have become used to it being.

My Wordle frustrations continue. Today’s solution was another of my common starter words that I chose not to use.

In my travels yesterday I discovered that Jack’s Pizza and Wings has closed. This town is in serious trouble of losing all of its cool dive bars and restaurants. This closure may have happened a long time ago, but I rarely drive that part of Highland any longer.

For the first time in WLF history some critter has decided to attack tomato plants. In the morning I transplanted a healthy 7″ tall plant, by the afternoon it was eaten at the base, completely separated from its roots. Fuckers! I’m glad that I have an abundance of volunteer tomato plants to make up for this atrocity, but it’s still aggravating to me.

Finally got warm enough in the house for the air conditioning to come on. Pity, I was hoping I’d make it a little while longer.

I struggled riding last night. I think the humidity and my increased weight were working against my goal to ride well.
