greetings from the outdoor office

this is where i am working today. suh-weeet!

for supper last night had excellent chickenpot-chickenpot-chickenpotpie at the local irish pub. then collected the 50¢ popcorn bucket and went to the movies to see the hangover which was hifreakinlarious and starred bradley cooper whom i would pay to watch just sitting, so there's a bonus that he was moving around. really a very funny movie - there were times i was laffing so hard tears were squoozing out.

at breakfast while we are reading the paper, my old man will hand me the lifestyles section first before he reads it and then hand me the other sections after he reads them. this morning, he did not hand me the lifestyles first, and i thought that was odd but whatevs. i read the sports. got up from the table & came back, and he'd set the lifestyles on my placemat. opened it up, and inside was a receipt from where he'd ticketmastered 2 tix to the wallflowers! whoppwhopp! he goes «happy saturday!» heh. he doesn't even actually like them that much, but i do, so here is documented proof of his wonderfulosity.

here's a pic of what is going on in my outdoor office. maybe you cannot really see much, but this guy is grinding up a stump in the back 40. all work has stopped in order to observe the process. i was all for just leaving the stump, but my old man pointed out that we do not live in the forest, we live in a suburb, and people in the suburbs do not have stumpy yards. ::sigh:: conformity. okay, seriously, he had to mow around the stump, so i get that he wanted it gone. circle of life.



speaking of circle of life, we are selling the jeep. end of a era. the odometer reads: 215511.5. almost 215512, eh? sweet.
