Save The Last Rants For Me

[TBoneTX 43,157]

This is the second night in a row that one or more South American tree-frogs is making a racket outside, split-earing man.

 

When then-Mrs.-T-B. heard them, she said, "We have those in Ecu," verify then-she man.

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man:

 

We completed the daily itineraries for our upcoming weeklong trip to Iowa, intense man.

We did summary itineraries and printed Yahoo! Driving Directions for each day, intense man.

We will use these and a GPS (either ours or one in the rental T-B.-mobile), keep on track man.

Most stops are thrift/resale shops and college/university bookstores, T-shirts for Mini-B. man.

 

Lunch was Many (2+1) casa-made gut-bombs, ingest we man.

Din-din was the remaining Many (2+2) hot dogs, Aldi buns still fresh after a week-plus man.

Parkview-brand hot dogs were never good, and the last two packs were ghastly, egad man.

 

Miu has adjusted quite well to her tray-only litterbox, adaptable miu man.

We are exulting in not having to adjust the mechanical one constantly, surprising relief man.

We wish that we could handle a manual box permanently, but our back won't enable this man.

New one (different brand) scheduled for Wed. arrival, probably install with Mini-B.'s help man.

Gracias, Bro G., si man.  The last trip (Many [2+2+1] years ago) took us almost all around the entire perimeter of the state, major road trip man.  We got to see places that we'd never visited (or thought much about), see and no man.

 

[Note to T-B.'s self, self-see man:  If we ever visit western Iowa again, we shall investigate as close to the Missouri River as possible, because the next sets of counties eastward are rather uninteresting even in scenery, oh well man.]

 

We did note that two contiguous counties, Ida and Sac, have only Many (2+1) letters each in their names, note we man.  We suspect that this is the only such phenomenon in any U.S. state, and we shall research this at some point, si man.

We did note that DeKalb corn seed far outperformed Pioneer seed in all the fields that we passed, note we man.

Middle skool, up-growing wee man man.

New Miu-Litterbox Report, see man:

 

New miu-box arrived on schedule, good man.

Mini-B. assisted with prep and set-up, assistive wee man man.

Miu observed all proceedings with interest, what are Daddy & Big Bruddah doing man.

 

The floor of our office/miu restroom badly needed vacuuming, kicked litter & snack crumbs everywhere man.

 

Mini-B. helped us remove the old dead box, piece of garbage man.

Mini-B. helped restack a foot-high pile of papers that had gotten miu-strewn, organizational wee man.

We then vacuumed the visible floor, not much of that man.

 

Mini-B. then up-lifted the catch-littering mat, not much use when out of place man.

We then vacuumed the visible floor near the box area, still not much of that man.

Mini-B. and we were hit by vacuum-hurled litter crumbs, like artillery shrapnel man.

 

After much vacuuming, we carried unpackaged new box upstairs, didn't hurt ourself much man.

Mini-B. carried the accoutrements, many of those man.

Assisted by Mini-B and scrutinized by miu, we assembled and operationalized new box, good boxer we man.

 

New box is far quieter than was old box, relief man.

New box has a larger miu-poop area than did old box, relief man.

New box appears to be slightly deeper than was old box, relief man.

New box's rake moves far slower than did old box's rake, not as jarring for miu man.

 

Miu studied and sniffed new box, investigatory miu man.

Miu entered box and did her business, healthy #2 man.

When box went off, miu inspected it from the entire top perimeter, curious miu man.

 

Just during this writing, miu re-entered box after rake quit, box will never quit activating if this keeps up man.

We cautiously hope that new box will last longer than a few months, old box a piece of garbage man.

Thrilling Non-Miu-Litterbox Wednesday report, see man:

 

Morning was severely tensioned by a call from Ex-Mrs.-T-B.,  man.

"I want to take Mini-B. to Philadelphia to see my #Many (#[2+2+1] sister from August 1 through August Many'th (2+2+2th), si man!" quoth ex-she man to we man.

"This is the week that you promised to take care of miu while we're away, si man!" replied we man to ex-she man.

"It's YOUR miu, and I want Mini-B. to see Nueva York City, si man!" quoth ex-she man to we man.

"Where are we going to find a miu-sitter at this late date, huh man?" asked we man to ex-she man.

"That's your problem, si man!" quoth ex-she man to we man.

[We, to ourself:       man]

 

We were so upset that we had blurred vision while driving to POTS office, chauffeurs Jeeves & Smedley both off today man.

 

Lunch was Many (2+1) casa-made gut-bombs, ingest we man.

Up-picked Mini-B. for Two Guys evening, Two Guys man.

"We're not going anywhere, no man," crestfallenly quoth ex-she to we man.  "Mini-B. starts skool on August Many'th, sigh man."

All that drama-trauma for nothing,  and  man!

 

Years ago, we had bought a food-service-sized roll of aluminum foil at an ES, mostly full man.

We remember paying half-price of the original $Many-&-a-half ($[2+2+2] + half a buck) man.

The roll was used up tonight, perfect sizes for last two lunches of the week man.

This was probably the biggest ES steal of a casa-hold item ever, financially savvy we man.  

And THIS is one reason for religiously attending ESs, exemplification man.

Scintillating Thursday repartee and upvote-awarding, yawn and hmmph man.

Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

Miu did not appear for bedtime brushing/play, absent miu man.

About half-of-half till Many (2+2+1) a.m., we hear yowling, vocal miu man.

Miu had dropped TWO feather-rollers at the foot of our bed, Wake Up And Play Daddy man.

We blearily muttered that we had to coordinate the miu-schedule and people-schedule, si man.

 

Lunch was Many (2+1) casa-made gut-bombs, ingest we man.

 

After POTS* duties, we had to go to Costco, forgot something crucial on last visit man.

Din-din was therefore a hot dog + drink for $1 + half a buck + tax, steal man.

 

We then picked out Many (2+1) items, fridge fridge freezer man.

Regarding din-din, we completely forgot about the tub of Costco chicken salad bought less than a day before,  man.

When miu awakens from her miu-nap, we shall have to re-lid it hastily, Gee That Smells Good Can I Have Some Daddy man.

 

Approx. half a Manyzen ESs itineraried for Saturday, nice local radius man.

 

Debauchery with the rubias begins imminently, must go now man.

[TBoneTX 43,157]

Scintillating Saturday repartee, yawn man.  (Absent Asia!  Absent, ABSENT Asia!)

Lunch (also serving as din-din) was at a Mexican restaurant, first time man.

This was among the top Mexican gustatory experiences ever for us, ingest we man.

 

Got shopping-list from Mama T-B., we aid senior she man.

We went to Many (2+1) -- yes, MANY (2+1) -- stores for Many (2x2x2-1) items,  man.

It took 2 hours and nearly Many (2x2x2x2x2 -2) miles,  man.

Aldi was our Many'rd stop, couldn't stand it any longer man.

Most of their stuff was cheaper than were the 2 "dollar" stores,  man.

We reported this to Mama T-B., fed-up we man.

Mama T-B. reamed us for not going there first,  man.

And now the rubias are peeved that we left them without us on a Saturday night, groan man.

[TBoneTX 43,157]

Horrible miu-fight in our back yard just now, ear-splitting man.

 

Next-door neighbor sloppy about keeping her mius inside, inexcusable man.

Younger next-door miu attacked by ugly calico-type miu in OUR back yard, great man.

 

Our miu viewed proceedings from inside our back door, no way we were going to open it directly man.

 

We went around back with a flashlight and broke up the fisticuffs (clawicuffs?), peaceable we man.

Neighbor's miu (skittish around strangers) clawed way over fence to home yard, safe miu man.

However, assaultive miu followed, unnecessarily territorial other-miu man.

Maybe neighbors opened their back door to admit their miu, shake-heading we man.

 

Rant, see man:

There is ZERO EXCUSE to let ANY miu outdoors without supervision, none and si man!

[TBoneTX 43,157]

We forgot to report that, on Saturday, we stopped at the kids' resale place, stop we man.

Monday lunch was one Costco breakfast burrito each, ingest Two Guys man.

Din-din was beef pot pies, ingest Two Guys man.

[TBoneTX 43,157]

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. has been psycho lately, psycho ex-she man.

 

Got hyper on Sunday and wouldn't watch AFV with us because of "going to Oklahoma on Monday through Thursday," mysterious ex-she man.

We asked Mini-B. what was up, ask wee man we man.

"Mom is going to meet the Rojo's grandparents, si man," responded wee man to we man.

That's a Many-hour ([2x2x2]-hour) drive, egad man.

 

At Many a.m., ex-Mrs.-T-B. sent us a text, text we ex-she man.

"What are your travel plans so I can plan next week, huh man?" quoth ex-she man.

Many minutes later, we get, "Forget it -- I sent you an e-mail -- chao," quoth ex-she man.

We read the e-mail, read we man:

    "By the way, find someone to take you to the airport pls and take care of your cat, si man.  I'm sick of your cheapness, si man.  I don't have to deal with it anymore, no man.  Good bye, si man," quoth ex-she man.

 

Either ex-she man is psycho (think we man), the Rojo is counseling ex-her man (possible man), or both, si man.

 

We think that ex-she man is upset because ex-she man wants half the co$t for Mini-B.'s new phone that we never agreed to pay half of, that must be it man.
