Yesterday was a day of choring and drinking. I sort of wish that the ibuprofen I take today was for a hangover rather than the annoying pain in my right forearm and elbow.

I do find it interesting that each Ace Hardware store I visit has different stock and pricing for the same items sold in other Ace Hardware stores. Wait, that’s not interesting, that’s rather frustrating.

Good weekend culminated with a visit to Limerick Junction for Cinco de Mayo. I never expected 1.5″ of rain yesterday however.

I bought myself a new OXO salad spinner at Target yesterday. I broke the one I had for years while trying to dry some WLF romaine lettuce on Wednesday.

I spent a lot of time above the perimeter yesterday, doing some shopping, drinking a beer, and then ending my night at Barb’s and Allan’s, who prepared a lovely Mexican dinner with margaritas.

Yesterday I saw a blue tailed skink wandering around WLF. Sometimes I love the wildlife that I get to see out there.

Good ride last night, short but hard. It is almost as if I am training for something…

I used to know someone who owned a label maker, and I can say this once again because the label maker owner is me. Yes, while I may not be the most organized person in the world, I do love a bit of organizing so this will help me label my world. And, it may finally help me keep my seedlings and transplants in order!

For some reason the YouTube algorithm has gotten in its artificial head that I want to watch videos uploaded eight, ten, twelve years ago? Hell, this morning it suggested I watch a clip from the “Price is Right” that was uploaded seventeen years ago! Was YouTube even created in 2007? (SPOILER: yes, it was)

Another mundane day around the ITP Estate yesterday. I puttered around WLF before heading up to Target and Kroger in Edgewood Retail District for rations. I incorrectly assumed the ERD Kroger would have more fake meat than the south Moreland store, and walked away with the only package of Beyond ground “beef” on the shelf. Fake meats, of the refrigerated ground variety, from Beyond and Impossible have been rather scarce for some time now. Impossible ground “beef” is a BOGO this week at Publix, perhaps I will swing by there today.

Betsy’s kitchen is (finally) in the process of being renovated, so I baked a pizza and brought it over. Since I was going to use the oven anyway, I also baked a pumpkin bread with ingredients I had on hand.

Today, more of the same.

Choring and riding sums up my day yesterday.

I’ve lost some respect for Jon Bon Jovi. In the most recent Smartless episode he revealed that he’s a big Patriots fan? C’mon, he’s over sixty and a son of New Jersey, clearly he should have been brought up liking one of the two metro New York teams. I wonder what other winning teams in other sports he’s chosen to be his favorite.

Your lucky numbers today are: 2-4-0
