forget how nice a day job is. Haven’t worked the wacky shifts since like 1996.
For me, I just like being home to watch sports in the evening. Same with having weekends off…there’s no way I could go with working on a Saturday or Sunday and missing football these days.
Frittata in the oven and later we’re off to a financial advisor to strategize on how to maximize our retirement income. Blech!
But Jaime and I are going to Six Flags GA this afternoon because he’s gotten some new balls for riding the more thrilling coasters and he wants to try them out.
Have a great weekend you ole OKP.
Ugh. I am so sick of the bullshit “system” this week. These politicians and subsequently, our government, have to have their hands in everything. And those hands are like icy needles stinging us everywhere we turn.
Morning Pa. This is the first GMOKP post since Wednesday? What is happening around here? Edit: I didn’t notice this whole page of posts. All is well. Carry on.
I have come down with a cold and I’m feeling pretty crappy today. I am going to run out soon to grab some supplies and nurse this bitch to health by Monday. I’m determined to nip it in the bud.
Have a great Saturday!
Looks nice Ryan! My friend’s mom has an RV “camp” and lives there throughout a lot of the summer and early fall. It’s not a far drive, so she can go back and forth to home as needed and people can go up for visits easily. And it’s a pretty sweet set-up, with the indoor luxuries of a bathroom, bed, kitchen, tv, etc with the outdoor porch, campsite, fire pit, and general campground atmosphere. It’s a nice way to go.
GMOKP.
Insides are still a little shaky after riding only four coasters last night at Six Flags (videos in ‘day in the life’ thread), but overall, had a great day yesterday. Loved our financial advisor mostly because she explained that we’ll probably (if nothing drastic happens in this country) be able to maintain our lifestyle until we’re 99 with the pensions and money we’ve saved over the years. That was a petty comforting thought.
If you folks haven’t already, you should be using whatever savings vehicles are available to you to begin planning for your retirements NOW. As much as you can possibly afford should be stashed away in tax deferred accounts because your future is moments away.
Taking it easy today with Marie, and that’s OK because it’s kind of wet and dreary outside. But we really need wet, so all is right with the world. Have a great Sunday.
Good Sunday morning Pa.
Feeling better today so far. Thinking this cold is just a minor one and won’t get worse. One more coffee!
Have a restful Sunday.
Mornin!
Loves to you all!
Thx Katie! We love it.
Long weekend. Heading out to Denver.
Be well all!

Have a successful trip Ryan.
Morning 'Pa.
We need rain. Yesterday’s was just not enough. And although it’s nice to enjoy such beautiful weather here in central NJ, the reservoirs are low and things are very dry. With the balmy breezy weather we’re having, the danger of wildfires is increasing across the pinelands that take up a huge portion of the lower middle part of the state.
But it’s nice weather for working outside and that’s what I’ll be focusing on today. Another proposal coming up for work shortly, so I better ‘make hay while the sun is shining’.
Have a great start to the week, and let’s here it for the 0 and 3 Giants.
Damn you Breaking Bad. Sending me to bed with chills each and every week.
Last night was brutally awesome.
No spoilers here, in case for some unknown reason you didn’t watch.
Finale gawna be teh seckness.
Notta lotta going on this week.
Be awesome all.

Good morning. Realized this morning that I’ll be seeing Phish in 4 weeks, which has definitely put a little spring in my step. That and finally getting around to listening to the Ventura box set. Have a good one and shit
Good morning.
I don’t want to work today. I want to be at home cleaning and rearranging furniture, practicing putting, scheming a supplies run, painting a hallway. Somethin like that.
Wanna get over to the town high school, where - turns out - the old disc golf course has been partially restored. 
Haven’t played there in years.
Listening to Atom Heart Mother, to start the workweek here in the office. “Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast” is on now, kinda loud too.
Marmalade, I like marmalade. Marmalade, I like marmalade.
Co-worker thought the sizzling was a shower running or rain.
^You should play Grantchester Meadows in the office next, and they’ll grab their duck hunting guns.
Morning 'Pa.
Damn was it a beautiful day yesterday and I got to spend most of it outside hard raking the grass to get up some of the thatch before I fertilize. I could almost sense the lawn going ‘ahhhhhh!’, as if I were giving it a good back scratching and massage. Of course my arms and shoulders are a little sore this morning, but it’s not going to stop me from finishing up later on.
Liv, Tom and Jake are coming over for dinner tonight so I have to stop working outside early enough to prep the meal we’re having. Going to be Chicken Marsala , which is actually pretty simple once you get passed trimming the chicken breast. That’s probably the ugliest part of cooking this meal.
Anyway, hope everyone has a productive Tuesday.
I can think of few better songs to pump you up on the drive into work than this one. Love that catchy riff.

Morno!
Is it Friday yet? My week has been so stinking busy so far, it has to be at least Thursday, right?! Ugh, only Tuesday I suppose.
Been dealing with a bad washing machine since Saturday. We can’t afford several hundred bucks for a new one and I REFUSE to finance anything else, so I’ve been trying to repair it myself…because as I stated in “type your thoughts” last week, my husband is a fucking idiot incapable of the simplest of tasks. So I googled it and watched a youtube or 3 and decided it was easily something I could do. The washer goes through the first cycle and agitates just fine, but when it’s time to drain or spin, it won’t do shit. Checked the hoses for clogs and saw nothing, so I moved on to the drain pump. Replaced it yesterday, but it’s not the issue. Next step is to replace the lid switch which my husband is purchasing as we speak. I will install it after work tonight and hopefully be up and running. I had to hand wash an entire load of clothes last night and my fingers are sore as shit. Luckily the dryer is still running fine…knock on wood. So if tonight’s repair is successful, total cost will be less than $80, and had I known it was the lid switch to begin with, it would have only cost $38. Luckily there’s only so many things that could be wrong with a washing machine and so far I’ve taken care of half of them. That bastard should run for another 10 years now!
Have to see my parentals this weekend for the first time in a couple of months. We haven’t spoken after my daughter’s last visit when my mother went on a verbal rampage at my expense to my daughter and her best friend…yet SWEARS she did no such thing although both girls tell me she definitely did. I have a feeling they won’t even speak to me although we will have to be in the same room. It’s funny, when I get upset at the paternal grandparents, they’re my biggest cheerleaders to stick it to her, but when it’s them, ohhh that’s a whole different story. It’s bullshit and I’m not backing down. I’d rather have no relationship with them…which I really haven’t had for YEARS…then have to have their conditional favor. I love them, but at some point, I have to love myself more and end the drama.
Sooooo, yeah. I’m ready for this week to be over, lol. Hope you all have a good one!
PEAS
lame
So I just got my latest quarter…but the guy apparently just ripped it off the stalk…it’s still got leaves and stuff on it. Can you smoke the leaves?..I’ve gotta figure they do something, right? Kinda like how you can smoke the stems and those work…they’re just hard to light up. Anyway, this thing stinks. I store it in a zip-lock, then a Tupperware, then a carrying bag and it stinks up the entire damn room. Guess I need it to dry out or something. Can’t say I’ve ever bought a stalk before.
um ^, ^^ Good morning?
