On this day in 1582 – The Gregorian Calendar is introduced by Pope Gregory XIII. It was/is a towering success, and I think reason enough to continue to use BC and AD because they did. And because it pisses off the revisionists and hurts their tiny feelers.

I have no issue with the calendar but I would really like to get rid of Daylight Saving Time, it has no purpose in the modern world.

Okay, so I think I hit a new level of asshat this morning. Usually, I let the little one pick something to listen to in the morning, but under minion influence, her choices have been so horrific that I can't handle it before coffee. Today I put a stop to it and we are going to have a long talk tonight about what is good music, what is unusual and what is a no-go.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Good thing that she has you for guidance. I remember learning Junior about Teh Good Tunes.


Which reminds me. I need to get my passport applied for, so that when Rage does their European leg once they resume their tour, we're going.

Speaking of daylight saving, There will be plenty today when the sun comes up over the mountains which are currently silhouetted against the dawn. Below freezing this morning but will warm up to just crisp and cool.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

And here we're fixin' to have our fist under-50 morning come Sunday or Monday.


In other news, the appraiser came out to give us a number for the place we bought summer of '22. Looks like we doubled our monies.


Thank you, Don Cornelius, for the quirky wording and Unka Joe Willie for the inflation.

Happy Thursday!!! Slept okay. Had cats. Cats have eaten and are quiet. Yesterday while putting together the to-go cup, I stepp toward the fridge. The girls were chasing each other. Kitten piled up into my ankle as I stepped from behind the stove. Looked like an accordion, like on the cartoons. She was mad at me for a few minutes.


The Guy called. Bike is ready. There turned out to be a bum oil sensor, a bad battery, and a bad wire in the handle bar going to the start/run switch. It's all right now, and it's a damned shame how much stuff costs. On the other hand, the painter will do the tin this winter for not too bad. We'll see when time comes.


Let us rise up and be thankful,
for if we didn’t learn a lot today,
at least we learned a little,
and if we didn’t learn a little,
at least we didn’t get sick,
and if we got sick,
at least we didn’t die;
so, let us be thankful.

Slicing cukes on the mandolin last night, I got one of my fingers in the business part. Sliced the tip off and bled like I had the whole hand cut off.

At least it wasn't my pecker.

 

[JohnnySavage]

As an aside - your Johnny has become enamored with Twisted Tea. I don't care if that makes me girly. It's delish.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Next time you drink one, have one for Wat, too. Wat's kinda twisted.


Work is going easily enough so that Wat has time to play PM and get the fuck-up sorted out. This is such an improvemnt from the last situation.


Thanks be to Allah for all of his manifold blessings and great mercies . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Still drumming my fingers waiting for an answer. It's like watching paint dry.


Motherfuckers!!!

HVAC guys fucked up wiring a unit. They'll make it work for the weekend and then sort it out Monday.


As Wat instructed.


Ain't nobody wanna stay over and re-pull the wire.


This is their first fuck-up here. No biggie, really.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Home. Friend called on the way home. He needed to talk. Wat listens. He asked about dinner, so we went. Damned glad we did. It helped me - I sure as Hell hope it helped him.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Friday!!! Slept okay. More weather today. Should only have the wire butchers today. May be able to escape early, insh'Allah.


Coffee!!!

Burning josh to save the world and cure its ills.

Even Gaia approves.

She's been raining on us that past few days. It's not acid. Go figure.
I thought by now that we were all going to die.

 

[Inflation999]

Overslept and getting coffee now. The little human has a school PA day giving her a 4 day weekend which means home office for four days, the minions were out the door per usual but we are shutting down on Monday just because we can and it will be the last real break I can give them until mid January. It seems like we just finished working weekends and we're already back to the season of working weekends.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving. We have four days of food, friends and whatever else I'm going to hide away from so I can relax.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Maybe I should make a roast this weekend. That might be mighty damned fine.

“When you write for a living and you can't do anything else, you know that sooner or later that the deadline is going to come screaming down on you like a goddamn banshee. There's no avoiding it...So one day you just don't appear at the El Adobe bar anymore; you shut the door, paint the windows black, rent an electric typewriter and become the monster you always were - the writer.”
