The reason I went to Bremen, Germany in 2014 is because it was supposed to rain in Cologne on my birthday. It did not rain in Bremen, so I was happy (as happy as I get, anyway). This year I planned to go to Asheville, North Carolina for my birthday, but currently the weather forecast is calling for thunderstorms for at least the next five days. I desire sunshine on my birthday, especially this being number sixty and I’m contemplating riding sixty miles on my sixtieth birthday. As of this writing there is no Plan B. Atlanta is one of the only places not predicted to get rain early next week. Due to circumstances I was in Atlanta for birthdays #30 and #50, neither of which were days to relish, so I don’t want to be here for birthday #60.
Once again the rain evaded falling on Wee Little Farm. Sprinklers ran for an hour this morning…
Wordle: five, my starter was SPANK
While the farming/cargo shorts are big enough around my waist (thankfully, since they are a size I hoped never to need again…) the hole for the button is sewn too small. Today I will have to make a modification so that I can wear them tomorrow.
Wordle in 5. I do not know this word. Are they running out?
Nothing much to report. I’m clean through and through and ready as I’ll ever be for the procedure. Was up at 0330 to start the second half. Some yummy stuff.
Was hoping to see some of you IRL, but either you’re going to the party tonight or aren’t going (slackers).
-FP
what time is the procedure?
1030. Sitting there now.
Filled out all the paperwork, asking questions after answering the quiz on the phone last week. This place is a serious assembly line.
Happy probing!
I will have to get to the party before you to ensure that you haven’t refilled your stomach with all the meats. 😀
Good luck! Now that I am 50 my doc says I have to get one. Blerg.
My ten-year pass will expire next year, so there’s that to which I can look forward to.
yep – get to get that on the schedule again – someday…….
decided to make yesterday closer to a regular day –
worked – had pizza slices for lunch, then to an East Cobb dive bar with just a few friends last night. Found out recently a long time Parrothead friend just found out he has acute myeloid leukemia – a super fast moving cancer. He’s in Emory for at least a month, getting serious chemo & outlook isn’t very rosy. Too many people are getting sick – I guess this is what happens as we get older.
Allan is freaking out about his brisket for tonight –
See whoever of you are coming tonight – we may be eating sides (I’m just kidding, I’m assuming Allan is just freaking out over nothing)
Eagle Scout Allan fretting over perfection? INCONCEIVABLE! We all know everything will be fine. See you tonight.
Another morning of WLF disappointment when I discovered that some critter found the nice eggplants and destroyed three of the five on the plant. DANGEN!
I need protection from night time animals. Wish there were more cats in the neighborhood.
It’s funny that you don’t want rain on your birthday but desperately want rain for WLF. Personally if it could be chilly and rainy on my birthday I would be in HEAVEN. But I know I’m weird.
I can’t believe your trip to Germany was 11 years ago, it doesn’t seem that long.
We went to Surin for dinner and then watched an episode of Somebody Feed Phil. Recreational TV watching is now over since the All Star break is over. Not that we will be watching – the reason why we can’t come up for Barb’s thing tonight is that we have tickets to a comedian whose show is in Fernbank museum. Yes, I thought that was weird, too, but it should be interesting.
I want to ride my bicycle on Tuesday, and if I were in a walkable area walk to bars/breweries, hence my desire for sunshine.
Who is the comedian? (Yeah, I guess I could google it…)
It’s Mia Jackson and Jonathan Kite. I’ve never heard of the latter but I’ve been following Mia Jackson since I first saw her at the Laughing Skull about 10 years ago.
sounds fun – can I come with you? 😉
No, you have to pretend to be having fun tonight! 😀
Sure, no one will mind that the birthday girl isn’t there…
it would be fun to just not show………
I’ve crossed over the fence, you fucking better be there! Lol
Nice.
At this time tomorrow I will be starting my workday? Yikes, I will be sweating off a lot of weight. Trying to think about a snack I can eat at lunchtime, and how I will have it with me along with water. Other things to pack – sunblock, big hat, towel, change of clothes.
peanut butter & jelly sandwich
Very possible, since i bought all of the necessary ingredients yesterday.
I do declare, the weather app I use is calling for rain this afternoon?
Done and dusted. All nice folks for an assembly line. 2 pollops removed and one biopsy. Come back in 3 years. Good drugs- completely out from start to recover room.
Glad it went well!
Allan woke up during his…….. of course he did
Yikes! I can’t imagine!
I’m going to have to find a driver for my next one. The person who drove me last time is now dead to me. Hank has moved to Colorado. Perhaps Betsy? I drove for her last one…
