Hot hot heat

[greatbear]

The past few days here Tha Garage of Muhfuckin Mayhem Yo have been scorching. Typical Maryland weather, spring is just a hiccup prior to the heat, humidity and eventual drought. With the rest of the week mostly in the 90s, the gardens will mostly tended to with water and not much else.

The weekend was spent up with Jeff's folks. I installed a couple ceiling fans, did a bit of shopping at hardware and auto parts stores, and went to Knoebels just to walk around and eat fairgrounds food. Despite the heat, it was all good. And Kodi did not discharge his dog biscuits into the car's interior. Bonus.

This morning, however, I woke up cranky as hell. I took it out on my Thomas' English muffin which, despite all my attempts to separate cleanly into it's two component halves, ended up coming apart in chunks to the point I ripped it to pieces and threw it all over the kitchen. An insult by my boss this morning was met with rage in his face before I walked out for a protracted break. I guess the heat gets to me after all. Damn those muffins anyway. Anyone else notice they are impossible to split these days?

More bits and pieces arrive tomorrow in an effort to upgrade all the computing hardware around here. Soon to be gone is stuff patched together with sticks and glue, made from stone knives and bearskins. Rather than buy stuff all at once, bits and pieces get ordered as budgets allow. Things like cases and power supplies come first, since that stuff stays pretty constant price-wise. Last to order is CPUs and memory, since that stuff is always getting upgrades and price cuts. It's like riding the tech upgrade wave.

No, if I can only make it through this week without melting or having a meltdown and killing someone, I'll be fine.

I use a fork and that largely helps. It's not perfect, but it works more often than not, stick it in the crevice and carefully rotate the fork a little in both directions and eventually work around the entire muffin and it'll split just fine.

At least I've been able to anyway. :-)

Make the switch to bagels, I did and never looked back. Mind you they don't come apart in the two intended pieces, but they do kinda come apart in four relatively equal lumps that are easier to manage.

With this latest medical mishap I'm having a meltdown. If it's not the physical it's the bipolar or both. I can't ever seem to get any peace. Just take deep breaths and stand in front of an air conditioner vent.

Just be grateful you can eat the damned thing in the first place.

PS - Loved the Trek reference. No one ever seems to get it when I use it!

Today Jeff felt sorry for me and split two apart using his chef-fu on them. I ate something else anyway. He will (very) enthusiastically attest that I am Mr. Cranky McCrankypants most mornings. Well, just about all mornings. I am not a morning person.

Glad ya got the reference. Most I know are clueless to it, or dont want to admit they know where it came from. \\//,

An English muffin massacre to rival my tomato massacre from many months ago... LOL.
