bbl, have to fix a quick bite for dinner then off to an Assoc meeting at the club. Have to pay my dues. ugh.
Planted some tomatoes today, some bush squash and some yellow cucumber and burpless ones. The are going to crawl on opposite fences. Hopefully.
Not on my cell phone, but they tried.

Tomorrow, I'll put in some peppers.

I spent the day working in the yard, waiting for a phone call, and working in the kitchen.
Beef stock, ham stock, veg stock, Demi-glace, flagolette beans, (A soup, to start things) hand-crafted brie and ham ravioli to cook in ham-hock broth with flagolette and swiss chard (shamelessly stolen recipe from Chef Hodges). Many preps are done for dinner tomorrow night.
The soup I described will be the opening round of a special dinner tomorrow night. The menu includes almost all species. Ever. Except dinosaur. I can't find any frozen.
8 courses, without dessert. Paired with wines.

I am chipper. Still a little shell shocked but the next few days..until Monday will erase a lot of that.
I'm actually in my livingroom watching TV with Sarah and Greg. (He told me I don't like you using G for my name.)
Right up until you try to plant them... then they call the cops and you have to explain.... Oh...
You were talking about flowers. Sorry. 8>)

My poor neighbors are putting up with it, as a way to help the fund-raiser.
The fund raiser is going to be the biggest mystery basket event of my life. I have no clue who is going to win, what their eating habits are, what religious/dietary/allergy contraints will be.
I am practicing my particular brand of "Oh, $*it, table #3 is half Ethopian Zion-Coptics, and the others are split between Jamaicans and Estonians.... What's the appetizer?" "Oh, and someone is lactose intolerant...."
;>)
/johnny
LOL..yes...flowers.
I'm shutting down to spend uninterrupted time with Greg and Sarah.
See you all tomorrow.
(((ALL)))
God bless you and yours.

I'm here. I just didnt think anyone else was.
Hello to the two "J's" currently holding down the fort. Just a quick drive by . Finally got to chiropractor for some relieve.
going to bed early.. it was a long, busy, intense (etc) day.
Hope you have a nice visit at home with family friends JT.. and JRF.. well, you have so much going on hard to know where to start. You amuse me to no end with your stories! thank you!
Round up a crew of PFCs and have them do a dumpster detail! I don't want to see a single cigarette butt, or piece of grass in the parking lot!!!
Just kidding.
How's it working with the unit? Squared away?
Let me know through your mom if I can help with your situation.
I'm tired and worn out from waiting for my next set of orders or citizen job.
I'll talk to my CO tomorrow about my situation. I have to have something...
/johnny
I'm proud to have been amusing. (scraping and bowing). 8>)
If you take me seriously, you should seek professional help... (disclaimer)
/johnny
Life is good so far. I havent really had to deal with the new unit yet though. Things appear to be squared away, so that is naturally a sign that they are jack up.
Thanks for being willing to help me with the new unit. If there are any troubles, FR is one of the first places I'll go with the problems. I know ya'll will take care of me.
Good night DC. I hope that you sleep well, and that your back does not bother you too much.
My advice? Unasked?
Do only right. This will confuse most, and suprise the rest.
Some tiny few will be gratified.
/johnny
Will do SSgt. My momma trained me right.
Hows life been treating you lately?
I have a real bed to sleep in without water dripping on my forehead. I ate a meal that the DFAC didn't provide (nothing wrong with a DFAC meal if I'm the HMFIC).
I've got frick and frack to bounce on my head to let me know that I've got a home... I love cats... really...
Nothing to complain about. Better than some. Much better.
In fact... I'm grateful for what I have.
It's a hell of a lot better than up in Alaska.
