Uncle Markie out and about.
Refresh for a different picture!
Foggy in Olympia this morning, not outside, but inside. Hit the road at 11am to catch Click and Clack on NPR. Appropriate drive time listening. Lunch was the last of the leftovers from last nights dinner — at which point I remembered that I’d left a ton of meat in Curt’s freezer. Damn. Lazed about [...]
Phone rings at 4am: Swanda telling me that there is a tsunami headed my way (I guess I picked a good day to be at the beach). Phone rings at 4:20am: Front desk telling me that an evacuation is in process for the expected tsunami. Phone rings at 4:40am: Dan from Florida has managed to [...]
Another early morning out of bed— maybe I’m turning into my long dead grandmother who only slept 4 hours a night at the end of her 102 years. Round two of ice machine ant cleaning (this time I just going to leave the machine on and freeze the bastards), a little work in the morning [...]
Up early because I’ve got an 11am meeting in Queen Anne with the Boltage(tm) folks. Nice to see that project moving forward again. Was sitting eating breakfast when I heard a key in the front door lock, that’s right, MoonSong is cleaning this Wednesday. I tend to lose track of which Wednesday is Cleaning Wednesday [...]
It’s always nice to be able to cover the nut for the month’s mortgage by a third of the way through the month not that it covers the credit card bills, but I’ve got the other two thirds of the month to cover that. How you might ask two non-recurring pieces of money. Tax [...]
This morning they finally collected on of my “freebie” upgrade coupons six flights and only one coupon collected. Not bad considering four of those legs were flights to/from Hawaii. Had to stand around for a bit after returning the car no checked bags until 4 hours from flight time. Absolutely NOBODY in the security lines [...]
A nice breakfast of scrambled eggs with asparagus and cheese and of course, a bloody mary. The kids left about 11 to head back to Indy (with, as it turns out, a stop at the ChicagoLand IKEA store). I putzed around the condo for a bit before heading out for a Sunday drive. First [...]
Cubed pork in the scrambled eggs this morning which worked for Joe and I, but not Lisa (who just ate the eggs) more for us. Today is part of the Mardi Gras weekend in Galena we missed the pub crawl last night which being sponsored by Bud Light seems to consist of drink specials [...]
For some reason I’m out of bed way too early is it possible that I’m still under the affects of travel —- that my body know not what time zone it’s in? A lazy morning around the condo, eggs and English muffins for breakfast before heading out to explore the surrounding areas and pick [...]
Up early this morning it’s an 8:40am flight but I’m parking at the apartment so it’s 20 minutes north and a 30 minute south ride on light rail to get to the airport but at $2.50 each way (for a total of $5.00) it beats the cost of parking at the airport by [...]
Nice to have some work flowing again, even if it’s just a little certainly more fun than the hour spent at the dentist following. After a quick stop at Safeway it was off to meet the wife of a guy who bought my 1960 T-Bird with a factory sunroof from Stewy, who neglected to [...]
Up at 8 to make breakfast for the both of us using the new dual burner griddle But, with all the travel, it was back to bed for a couple of hours I needed it. 3am to bed, 8am up with too many of those on the trip. At least I know that when I [...]
