Still a bit early, but this weekend's GS/ES itinerary is looking a bit schizoid, sometimes like that man.

One GS in our favorite small town, far in one direction man.

One ES with the cute-but-married ES lady, far in the totally other direction man.

Road trip, du-u-u-de, tentatively conclude we man.

Isolating due to possible COVID exposure. :( I found out a coworker I have worked closely with all week was exposed to COVID on Sunday (she just found out). Breakthrough COVID is real, so everyone in close contact with her is getting tested. I won't know until Friday evening and the doctor asked me to isolate until then. My husband is getting tested tomorrow out of an abundance of caution. Biometrics next week, really hoping we are fine. We should be! But better safe than sorry, and we can both work from home. Sigh.

Speaking of... heading out on a road trip Friday. Our friends rented a cabin in the woods for our bday weekend (husband and I have birthdays only 2 days apart). Hopefully cabin in the woods doesn't equal a horror movie, since so many of them have that setting. :P

Forgot what I wanted to say.....

 

 

Oh yes.  (Wow, that Harder Lemonade on a nearly empty stomach is kicking my butt)  Forgot to say that when I arrived the a/c was not working.  90 degrees inside.  Wife was in panic mode.  NOT to fear.  I can fix that.  Capacitor was burned and had melted some wires.  I was prepared as I keep an extra capacitor on hand and brought my tools. Had it fixed very quickly.  For once I was the wife's hero.

 

Kind of annoying but I have a dove that has built a nest under the house (it's a stilt house)  and she WILL NOT move off that nest no matter what.  Not really a problem, but she is kind of messy.  Even moving the boat just inches away from her did not seem to bother her.

 

Now it's time for this drunken sailor to head off to the nearest sandbar to watch the sunset and have another one. Shh, don't tell on me.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

Now I remember.  LOL

 

Why is it that anything I order on Amazon that has Prime next day or second day delivery takes an extra TWO or THREE days to arrive in the lower Keys?  Are we at the end of the world?  

 

Well I guess we are at the end of the country, and for one small moment we were an "independent"  entity... the Conch Republic.  But still...
