Random Thoughts VII 'Merica (RTTVII)

[55dB]

We are struggling with stopping our puppy from chewing on shoes, sandals, the corners of the carpet and patio chairs. It is a blast.

About 50% of the "Lulu NO!" come from me stopping her from chewing on the carpet or baseboards. Right now she has a braided bully stick that she's working on, along with a chicken no-hide and a shin bone. Redirecting her chewing towards those has been pretty effective. Not cheap, but cheaper than new carpet.

I suppose Henry VIII did have to deal with those situations all the time. So it would kind of be like that except, instead of cunning and powerful nobles, it involves a bunch of confused and bratty teenagers

I should really read some of Erik's history books. Just imagine the power plays in France through all of their mistresses.

I'm debating doing nothing but realistic Facebook posts for awhile and see how it's received.

- Here's a picture of my daughter after a soccer game where she got manhandled and lost miserably. She probably lost you one of your daughters that wins every game.

- Here's a picture of a meal that I just made. It kinda looks like dog vomit because I didn't have a few ingredients and had to improvise. It also tasted pretty bad.

- Here's a picture of me sitting at my desk at work instead of on vacation.

- My Fitbit registered 50 steps today. I was going to run, but when I walked to the kitchen to get a bottle of water, I noticed I had oreos.

- My favorite sports team just lost

- I watched this Youtube video of how to make a picnic table. After several weekends, here it is. It's pretty uneven and many of the cuts aren't uniform, but it'll look better when I put it next to that disaster of an adirondack chair that I tried to make last year.

Perfect!

... I'd like to post a pic of me kicking my feet up on the deck and having a beer after a hard day's work but, instead, here are pics of my ring-around-the-collar that I needed to stain stick and the spaghetti sauce I spilled all over the stove.

Just finished my last property reading of the semester! Out of a 1283 page book, we probably read over 1150 of them

Isn't it the worst when you've read 1150 pages and you know the other 133 pages are probably what really matters?

Mistresses? In France? I'm shocked!

Time for this Gary Larson classic.

It's selective. They hear. They just choose to ignore.

Well there's no reason to skip the last 133 of them, that's probably where the important stuff is.

Well, it's do nothing time. Heard a little grinding noise (was serviced a couple hundred miles ago) from my pickup. Drove it to the mechanic, he puts it on the hoist. Driver rear brake is thin, passenger rear is shot and ate into the rotor said it will be done by 2 and will put the new tires on that I was waiting for a raining day for. Wasn't planning for this.

Sons luck ran out. Checking to see if tax check hit, I remembered dropping 400 in his account in case I needed him to pay for something at the sale. Decided it looked better in my account.
