Evening Y'all.
Holy what the crap, traffic Batman. Two major arteries in Charlottesville were stand still traffic. One is the usual way I come home, the other was my alternate route. It took me an hour and a half to go twenty five miles, stop................start.................stop.... ......cuss....................stop................ ..unholster the 45........................stop.
I am so Glad I took Lanna out today so I could exercise her parking brake.
I had nothing to do with the reindeer "adjustments" (yet)
Oh and I approve of Dave's date.

Good and bad today…

rove the 928 to the dentist (enjoyed it). Sat there under the happy gas on for 3 hours (mostly painless, but when they say you will feel some vibration, they mean you will hear it). Was relieved I didn't pitch a tent while under the happy gas this time. Drove around in the big parting garage for a few minute enjoying the exhaust sounds, then home picking up some green chili fries on the way.

Arriving home found Mom sitting in the bathtub and couldn't get out. Evidently she took a bath right after I left for the dentist and had ben sitting there long enough both she and the tub were almost dry. She is NOT supposed to try to take a bath without someone here, and has a stool to sit on to make it easier, which she had removed. Guess I should be happy she took a bath of her own volition. The last 3 months its taken me 3 days or longer to convince her she needs a weekly bath then a couple of more days to get her to actually take one. Guess it's time to clean up the extra bedroom to make it available in case I can find a live-in caregiver that she is more comfortable getting help from for that kind of stuff.

Mike, any chance I could borrow your Ferrari? I'll leave my 911 as partial collateral.

Mike does not post much in here. He does not love us as much anymore.

Good morning folks.

I expect they are correct.

Do they know if it is a boy or a girl?

Will the gifts be cool male stuff like tools and sports cars and electronics and guns or crap like a new kitchen or furniture and antiques?

Unfortunately you are sending that cold down to us. I am sure we will pass it along to Rick & Azzy.

Hope you brought a coat to work glen. The north wind has hit here and it's getting bitter cold. Going to have to put my beard on to go outside in this!
