Random Thoughts 17: Here we go again.

Debating whether to watch the game or go to the gym. Leaning strongly "go to the gym". Iowa game always stresses me out and we usually play like **** in this game. I find little joy in that. At the age of not wanting to do things that aren't really fun when given an actual choice.

I hope you went to the gym.

I did not. Opted to worked on my often procrastinated "raise the garden path stone edging and raise my garden path" project a couple of inches. Made good progress. Sort of PITA task getting everything level. Paced myself. DND.

Than fried walleye for supper. Okay but didn't do a good job frying it up...didn't have pan/oil hot enough. Since it is birthday plus one I am probably going to reward my good work with a bit-o-wine.

Just checked score.

Happy birthday plus one, although I’m wondering if the plus one is a day or a “date.”
 
It's plus a day. Turned another 70-something yesterday. Did a nice long bike ride to celebrate and now getting mocked as "crazy" by elder friends.
Happy belated birthday. It's OK to be thought of as crazy every once in a while, that's where the fun happens
 
Did another war start? I see gas went up 40-50 cents in north Iowa. I don’t watch news so I’m curious what happened. May need to watch the TV that my wife turns on.

They are claiming it is due to the hurricane(s).
And a refinery offline I think. Happened earlier in the week in Ames, but Kum&Go is now down a dime from those higher numbers. Probably to keep the big signs under $4.00.
 
Chatted with James Reed yesterday, still a stud after all these years. Daughter in the cheer squad, even bigger stud yet to get his kids to go to ISU.

LOL. It's always "something". It's been like this since the 1973 oil embargo. 1973 was legit but the start of everything that happens worldwide or domestically being used as a justification for short term price gouging. It's the time of year where the summer demand for car gasoline tapers off so hurricanes are maybe a convenient excuse to postpone that price drop.

Kind of surprised David Spade has been reduced to the role of snake oil game show host to pay the pool boy and the Beverly Hills property taxes. Who is his agent? He should have easily been able to parlay Joe Dirt into its own cinematic universe with 10 plus movies. ABF...Always Be Franchising. I wonder if Heather Locklear still getting a piece of that money? Can he coach?

Joe Dirt vs Godzilla, Joe Dirt for President, the possibilities are endless.

This definitely caused an eyebrow raise yesterday morning as I filled up. $.40 difference from what it was 4-5 days ago.

I had forgotten hurricanes along the Gulf tend to do that.
