I think I am going to be pretty depressed when I start trying to clean up stuff tomorrow and see how really shredded everything is.

:(

This summer has SUCKED.

Confirmed my favorite "prize" hostas were shredded. Got one Sum & Substance I took years to get going and it's toast as is the "I don't know what it is" giant HUGE hosta I just call Big Boy or Giant Green Willeke (name of the guy who gave it to me). Don't have to worry about rabbits till next year when they can veg out again. Was scheduled to put out some organic slug poison since the little slimy bastards were chewing up my front hostas. Well, that's pointless now.

Need to clean off the roof some time today. Gutters are completely covered with leaves and branches.
 
So I have to go to a wedding this weekend in damn Iowa city (I know… not my side of the family but just one of those deals. This is an important detail). The wife was getting some clothes ready for herself and kids because, you know, pictures and crap and everything has to match.

Anyway, I was asked to be getting something for myself to offer up as what I might wear and I remembered that a couple weeks ago I found some old PPE (gloves, goggles, mask, face shield and a gown thing) from the ‘rona days. So, naturally, I put it all on and walked into the bedroom where she was collecting items and the following transpired:

JM: “I’m ready to go.”
Mrs: “What the hell is that?”
JM: “My outfit. I’m ready for the wedding.”
Mrs: “No.” (at this point all eye contact has ended)
JM: “No, what?”
Mrs: “Are you 12 years old?”
JM: “A 12 year old who won’t get any diseases going to that god forsaken town.”

Mrs did not respond for a good couple hours to anything I said. Totally worth it.
Update: God… I hate this f*cking town.

I understand you have to be there for a wedding butI quit going there for sporting events a few yrs back it just isn't worth it IMO. The irritation factor is too high. I can tolerate CR ok though.
 
I've been randomly scrolling through Twitter/X lately for some reason.

I'm way out of the loop but among other things there appears to be some really petty pro athletes and musicians out there.
 
WOW my extended family is in expansion mode. UNI niece is adopting their foster daughter, ISU niece is expecting, and nephew's wife is also all this to go with the 18month old and 6 month old.
Dang they are going to break me if I keep taking them to wbb and pizza every yr :)

On that subject when ISU niece comes to the game this yr it will make 25 continous yrs of attending wbb with me. Kind of proud of both of us making that streak work.
 
Got seven bags of leaves and small branches bagged up and ran out of bags and thought it was time to quite. There's at least another couple bags full on the roof and maybe four more on the sides of the house to go. And it's been raining for a couple of hours. Of course it rains now after months of drought and after everything I wanted to keep alive is mostly shredded.

Mowed after raking. First time since June 6th!

Congratulations?
 
What happened?

I actually thought Iowa city was a pretty cool place (although I have never been there for an Iowa State-Iowa game)
