For the first time in WLF history some critter has decided to attack tomato plants. In the morning I transplanted a healthy 7″ tall plant, by the afternoon it was eaten at the base, completely separated from its roots. Fuckers! I’m glad that I have an abundance of volunteer tomato plants to make up for this atrocity, but it’s still aggravating to me.
Wordle: three, my starter was TRADE
Connections: two mistakes, Green > Purple > Yellow > Blue
Wordle in 5. 3 is well done.
It was a vertigo day yesterday, but there were things I had to do on site in prep for some weekend work. I came home and Debbie let me be still and relax.
I was able to get T-mobile on the phone to diagnose the home router and another unit will be here shortly. This is good new as the TV doesn’t know about the Verizon hot spot, though that may change if I want to watch the Giro today.
Looks like rain. Haven’t seen the radar yet.

Fortunate to have three misplaced letters after two guesses, and swung for the fences with my third.
On which service is the Giro on this year? Cycling package on HBO? I’m starting to miss GCN+.
Likewise on GCN. The Giro was picked up by (Cine)MAX and it’s the same coverage as GCN provided. $15 a month and I have a reminder to cancel on June 1.
Hmmm. Since I don’t want to pay for any more services I guess I will just have to live with less cycling on tv.
At the Waschsalon this morning. I was going to treat myself to breakfast after I am done, but seeing my weight, and the tidal wave of bills that are in my near future, have decided against it.
We have a driver in the house!
Travis passed the road test and is now officially licensed. The test was strange, they put a camera in the car then called us to give instructions over the phone. I had to sit in the passenger seat and remain quiet and still. She said if I said anything or gave any hand signals the test would be cancelled and he would fail. He made a few mistakes and it was killing me to not say anything. Odd experience but I guess they have been doing it that way since covid.
If I could post a photo in here I would put an image of Carl Spackler hunting gofers for you Paulie 🙂
Caddyshack was just on last night… we (I) watched the finale’.
I may have Caddyshack on DVD now. I need to check.
DESIGNATED DRIVER MODE ENABLED! 😀
Bob, I had the same experience with Rachel. I used breath noises to cue her at a couple of points. She only got dinged on parallel parking, which was rigged because they use cones instead of cars so that eliminates the reference points.
I sweat that reverse cameras have taken away some of my parallel parking skills because I rely on them to parallel park now.
I can still parallel park just fine – but i do like the camera so I can figure out how close I can get to the car behind me
Encountered some rain after leaving Waschsalon, but home again. Egg and cheese sandwich with mushrooms has been consumed.
I hear thunder. Better feed the ponies before I get wet.
Apparently N GA got pummeled over night. I got 7 or 8 texts from the Coosawattee saying 2 gates were closed and one of the main roads is impassible in multiple places. It’s raining at Emory right now but that’s about it, and it looks like it might be almost done.
I have a friend in Ellijay and she posted a video with near constant lightening flashing all around. Sounds like it was a war zone up there. Crazy storm!
Yep, power out and everything. I hope my cabin is okay! Ugh.
and- I didn’t type that – Sue said to keep it under our hats for how- but is there a way to delete?
*fingers crossed for everyone*
we had some rain last night – yesterday was 80, today’s high is only supposed to be 62.
Mom & Dad will freeze!
the home health aide came yesterday afternoon, helped with getting lunch, socialize, but the biggest thing she does is clean – its soooo nice. Mom was moving a tiny bit better, but not that much better.
Used the break in rain to get into WLF. I have harvested four different radishes, some romaine lettuce, and a hot banana pepper. The pepper arrived much earlier than I expected from a plant that I purchased from Lowe’s.
It appears that we have some pretty nasty stuff on the way, including the potential for a tornado? Oh boy!
Davey just told me – I’m not Dashing in this weather for tiny tips. People are insane
Smart move on his part.
Well, it appears that ITP dodged a bullet and that all of the worst weather went around us.
Over 1.5 inches in the gauge and we ain’t done yet.
And I called T-Mobile about the dead router last night. UPS dropped it off about noon and it’s up and running already, thanks to the crack (!!) network team (i.e. ME!).
I think that’s good customer service to ship that quick.
It rained here briefly around 8:30 this morning but since then it’s just sort of grey.
