I bought myself a new OXO salad spinner at Target yesterday. I broke the one I had for years while trying to dry some WLF romaine lettuce on Wednesday.
I spent a lot of time above the perimeter yesterday, doing some shopping, drinking a beer, and then ending my night at Barb’s and Allan’s, who prepared a lovely Mexican dinner with margaritas.
Wordle: four, my starter was NAKED
Connections: perfect, Green > Yellow > Purple > Blue
Wordle in 3 with TREAD as a starting word and little help.
A little help? You cheated!?!? 🙂
I said my starting word was little help!
And your server and I are fighting…
I misread your comment. Apologies, nice job.
I also read it as him getting a little help, so you are not alone, Paulie.
Sprinklers ran this morning, and it’s damp. Therefore no surprise that I found five small slugs working their way around WLF. Sadly it was their last day alive because they destroy plants. Pity the Wee Little Frogs didn’t get to them first.
Six slugs, as there was one on the spaghetti squash plants I am preparing to take to a neighborhood swap table.
so should I look for slugs out in the squash plants you gave me?
Maybe? I doubt they have any since I bet the slugs took residence overnight. Give them a quick look over to be sure.
I saw no slugs – it is planted
Nice! I hope that you get an abundance of spaghetti squash.
I was having an Excel issue yesterday and thought, “who could possibly help me with this?” And David came to my rescue in a big way! I haven’t got it quite yet, but it’s much closer to a resolution. Thank you, sir!
It’s my pleasure. My morning has been an absolute fucking dumpster fire. I’ll respond to your email.
Racing in Hapeville tonight! Just across the tracks from downtown. Cmon down!
if it was in CoA, I’d have Allan come get me early & we’d watch before heading to the airport for my 1045pm flight tonight.
I guess I ought to think about packing at some point
Wordle in 3 starting with STAND, which refers to the Come to Jesus meeting that was had yesterday.
Connections almost took me down, the last two categories blurred together for me.
I started watching A Man In Full last night on Netflix. It’s a very abbreviated version of the Tom Wolfe book. It is set and seems mostly filmed in Atlanta, a scene last night took place in EAV. It’s one of my absolute favorite books of all time and is about a fictional Atlanta real estate developer.
Kevin forced me to read A Man in Full a couple of years ago. I never read modern books so it was a real departure for me. I really enjoyed it!
ooooh – a 6 episode show – I like it!
I will start watching it.
The book is fantastic. Tom Wolfe knows how to tell a tale. The show is a little grating because it’s such a gross oversimplification of the book, but it’s a perfect fit for where my head is presently. Definitely comfort food.
Wordle in 4 starting with ARMED. My first 2 words were of little help. One mistake in Connections: Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple. Easy Strands.
Thanks to Barb and Allan for making burritos and margaritas last night.
Sprinkled a little on my morning run.
.. and David, once I cleaned up my data, it worked like a champ! Thanks again.
Met my friend Sarah for dinner at Wisteria last night, which was delightful.
Busy day at work today and then we are heading up to the cabin for the weekend.
Back from a productive morning walk. I took plants to a swap table, and then up to East Atlanta Village to return a dvd to the library. All in all I got in nearly three miles.
I guess because I was up before 5am, but it feels much later than 9:30am to me at the moment.
the thing I hate about Strands is when I don’t care anymore & just want to know what words they used – I don’t see how to get the answers anywhere.
Am I missing something?
I’ve not figured out any way to do that.
Wordle in 4 but I cheated because I’m impatient. Connections was easy today.
Hooliduro (bike race on trails we build and maintain in Roswell) ends at my house tomorrow. Got the smoker going with 16 pounds of pork shoulder for pulled pork tacos for the racers. We usually have 30 or so riders, 8 stages with a beer stop in the middle. Good times will be had, hope the weather holds out.
I told Allan to go watch the shenanigans tomorrow – feel free to text him & encourage him to join you.
It will be a fun day of Shenanigans for sure!
went to Chick-fil-a for the 1st in forever & ever & ever for lunch.
Annette is now the new owner of a spaghetti squash plant.
I do not understand why everyone loves that place so much.
It is (to me) very pricy for what you get.
It’s the Lord’s sandwich, that’s why.
What? You gave away a plant? Inconceivable!!! 🙂
Hopefully it does well for her too.
she actually really likes spaghetti squash – so we decided she should try to grow one too.
I don’t really have that much room to have a vine like it grow (can’t be messing up Allan’s grass)
Cool
At least you know that I am only joking. I hope that they do produce true spaghetti squash, and not some Frankensquash. Lol
