08-05-2026 — Family Feast
Howdy all. Summer is here again. Dry for too long, and temperatures are back over 80, with real-feel temps headed to 95 today. And the rain that was predicted to happen at 2 pm, seems to have dropped out of the porncast.
Transition update — I did push the wires out of sight, but didn’t secure them.. Yet. And, I have a scheduled appointment at the Spectrum store tomorrow at 11:30. I printed off the various information needed to cancel it all. And I taped up the AT&T Air device’s box, for that to be handed off at the UPS store, right after that Spectrum Appointment. The UPS place is less than ½ mile from there.
Back update — Ouch. The first half of last night’s attempt to sleep was painful to say the least. At 23:00, I gave up and took a couple of Advil Dual Action, knowing it would likely make the legs swell and sore for a few days. But that is just soreness. The back muscle pains are unforgiving and debilitating most of the time.
This morning was not too bad. I took another Advil, and threw in a Claritin to counteract the leg issue (antihistamine). And a couple of “herbal” muscle relaxers. They taste, and smell, like dirty socks. (Valerian and Feverfew) Not sure they help, but I’ll try anything.
Yeah, I’ll try anything, except.. Doctors, Drugs, or, Relaxing…
Late yesterday after noon I did a quick trip to the garden. It is very dry out there. Please rain!!
A quick tomato harvest from yesterday afternoon.
So there’s the Feast… Where’s the Family you ask? One moment please..
My vegetable thief came by at 6:00 this morning, with her young-uns in tow. Aint they cute?
And then, just before 10 am, both Chuckie, and Chuckie Junior were out in the backyard nibbling weeds and maybe an insect or two. First time I saw them together.
Oh, and not to forget, a couple of Mobile Coonskin Caps, were out back in the dark, around 1:30 am.
Lots of visitors looking for a free meal. Hey, nibble the flowers. Chew on the fruits. Chomp down on insects and small nasty critters. Just be happy, and Enjoy Life
