So, how was your day?
 
For the first time in memory I didn't do a damn thing today - I mean nothing productive.

The wind was howling and a cold rain was pelting down. It just didn't feel like a day to be busy.

I built a fire, put on a sweat shirt and some warm socks, poured a glass of brandy, and spent the afternoon sitting in front of the fire, listening to the wind and rain and watching the birds struggling with the wind at the feeders. Spent a few hours with a book of logic puzzles. I didn't even eat anything until dinner.
So how was your day?

I fought with the damn furnace at my house all day. I should have just called it and grabbed a glass of bourbon. It would have been more productive. Rain and SNOW... Nick... NOT HAPPY.

Perfect bliss! Same cold rain here. I wish I was doing what you were doing all day.

Need to get the 911 inspected tomorrow, but the rain is supposed to turn to snow mix. I don't care. I need the sticker. I will drop the car off and walk 1/2 a mile to work in the rain, then walk back. Uphill both ways. It'd better pass.

Wife to retired guy: What are you going to do today?

Retired guy: Nothing

Wife: But you didn't do anything yesterday.

Guy: I wasn't finished.

Save me a glass man.. I'm on my way!!

thor66 03-18-2021 02:43 PM

what kind of brandy??

Shaun @ Tru6 03-18-2021 02:50 PM

Etched two factory original two fans and housings for a pair 73 RSs today and they turned out beautifully. Definitely a great day, they can be tricky. Glass of cabernet at hand as I type, hot Italian sausages on the grille. Will be a great night too.

Cheap. My taste in liquor does not comport with my taste in cars by any means.

OTOH, it's very smooth and crafted to perfection, it says so right on the bottle. So there's that.

You're gonna need to go get some more if I'm heading that way. It has been a LONG and really bad day. I mean, that's like three good sips and it's GONE.

It was sunny and almost 50 here today.
Along with a north wind at close to 40mph it felt like 5 degrees!
Word puzzles are great on days like this....my fav is the Jumble.
I play it every time I find it in a newspaper.

Today was usual: Went to the P.O., grocery store, cut up some tree trimmings to get them ready for the trash and burning pile, make some posole for dinner after my lovely wife gets home from work.

thor66 03-18-2021 03:06 PM

Is it pozole or posole?
Pozole seems to be the preferred spelling in Mexico proper, while posole shows up more often in borderlands recipes. The words “posole” and “pozole” come, of course, from Nahuatl, the Uto-Aztecan language spoken in various forms from pre-Hispanic times

Good for you! If nothing else, you allowed the rest of us who didn't do much, to feel like we really got after it!

You'll hit it extra-hard tomorrow.

What I've got is yours, but you'll have to stop at the likka stow on your way down if it isn't enough. I'm not going anywhere tonight.

See how ya are!? I'd make a run to the store for you!

In all fairness though, I did say "save me a glass" not "save me a bottle" I should have been more specific.

Actually I spell it both ways and can never tell the difference. I messed up and didn't get some pigs' feet at the Mexican market two days ago. It will still be good.

It was nice weather, 72 degrees and day 4 of filming. Today was "Exterior Turkish Countryside" out at Vasquez Rocks.

Tomorrow is "Interior Hong Kong Hospital/ Night" and "Interior Prague Veterinary Clinic/ Night" down in Long Beach with a 3PM call time and a 2AM wrap.

It's what we call in the biz a "Fraturday". Screws up your weekend since you lose some of your Saturday. Not looking forward to the 60 mile drive home at 2:30 in the morning.

My dad lived in Acton. I miss it out there sometimes.

Every day is a good day. Grandkids all live within 30 minutes, and I have 5 different kinds of citrus trees at my house. Meyer lemons and pink grapefruit currently, oranges are done

I can't recall the last time I did nothing all day. Plenty of time for that after I am dead
