The day began almost normally, weird man.

Mama T-B. called right beforehand with more items needed, call senior she man we man man.

She wanted to know when we were going to visit, "why are you ignoring me man" man.

We explained that it would be later, siesta + casa duties man.

Mama T-B. suspiciously grilled us, grill senior she man we man man.

We squealed that one urgent need was to mow the lawn, in near-desperate condition man.

Mama T-B. reamed us a new one, two buttholes now for we man man.

We tried to explain that mowing could occur only during daytime and visits could occur anytime, reason we man.

Mama T-B. wouldn't have it, told us that Heaven & Papa T-B. were watching, and hung up on us, bye man.

 

We tried to siesta, not difficult man.

Exactly halfway through, Uncle T-B. phoned us for an update, how does he always know our siesta times man.

We pretty much resumed our siesta, but it was not the same, zzz and no man.

 

Dealt with gastrointestinal issues from lunch/din-din, occupational hazard of pigs man.

Mowed entire lawn, back yard couldn't have waited one more day man.

He wrote back almost immediately, see man:

     "Thank you for letting me know and we will investigate these concerns immediately, si man.  How's about I meet with Mom Monday morning and then I'll contact you, si man."  Per Mom's request, [mean nooser] has been notified that she will not tend to her moving forward, no man," si man.

This would necessitate our bagging stuff only to unbag and sort it later, no way to run a railroad man!  

We told Mama T-B. this, probably very poor timing man.

Mama T-B. soon threw us out, nearly midnight man.

 

We returned to the old crib to collect more wants, si man.

We made a 1-page list of all furniture measurements, re-measure we man man.

Wife Offers Husband Compromise:  If He Lets Her Get Chickens, She'll Let Him Do All The Work

 

SALT LAKE CITY, UT — Local woman Rachel Gentry told her husband she'd compromise on her proposal to get a coop full of chickens by letting him do all the work if he let her get the backyard poultry.

"Tell you what," Rachel told her husband, Greg.  "If you let me get that chicken coop I've been wanting, I'll let you help out with the cleaning, the feeding, the rodent abatement.  It's a great deal for you!"

Greg spent the better part of Wednesday afternoon trying to figure out if she was kidding or serious [...]

Seems like I have been working my tail off the last several weeks along with having to entertain visiting family.  Very little time for VJ.

 

Tomorrow in the am we are heading back down to the Keys for a long 4th weekend with more friends coming.  Seems like I don't get any time to myself anymore.  At least I won't go back to work until Tuesday.  A lot of patients will be upset, but I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!

 

Will have to drive right by the new "Alligator Alcatraz" on the way.  Looks like slow going in that area with all the protesters and news people.  Lucky I wasn't going down today what with the President, Governor. and others arriving there.  It's just a simple country two lane road in the middle of nowhere with just a small Indian reservation near by.  Everyone is generally driving fast.... 70 or better.  If you see on the news a person in a large SUV taking out several protesters tomorrow, that might be me. 

 

When we were down for Memorial day I observed nearly every boat at the local sand bar had a flag.  Most with and American flag but also many had the Conch Republic flag.  Decided I needed a flag also.  Two weeks ago when we were there I worked on that, and this time I will be ready. I've got the flag pole for the boat and it's set up for displaying two flags one above the other.  Of course the American flag is upper most.  I also have a selection of secondary flags.  Conch Republic, Florida state flag, University of Louisville flag, and by special request of my wife... a USSR flag🤔.  Will see how that last one goes over, but of course all our friends that will be coming down were born in the former USSR.  I'll be the only native born American in the group.

 

Everyone have a great 4th.
