greatbearThe weekend was one mostly of good. We loaded up the truck with the collected pieces for a new shower for Jeff's parents along with other goodies and headed up to PA for the weekend. Kodi managed to barf again within screaming distance of the house. The truck interior was spared. It was a quiet weekend of small tasks, Amish grocery store shopping, dinner out on Saturday, PSU football excitement for Jeff and his Pop as they both barked and cheered at the telly while I tried making sense of the hand-me-down HP computer the 'rents got from Jeff's sister. We arrived home earlier than usual today and used the nice weather to clean up some of the gardens and move the trailer to it's winter home.
For tonight's supper we got a bag of fried chicken from the grocery store and ate it along with the awesome peirogies Jeff's mom got for us. These aint Mrs. T's frozen things. No, these come from one of the few local Catholic church's family day shindigs where people sell homemade food guaranteed to send people's cholesterol counts soaring. But, oh, how good the food. Nothing beats pierogies cranked out by those old Polish Catholics. We got a bag fulla them and have some for the future stuffed in the freezer. Good stuff.
It's one of my short weeks this time, and I hope to get some things done around here in preparation of winter's inevitable arrival.My finances have been taking a serious hit from unanticipated car and house repairs and supplies. It could be far worse had I needed to call in professionals. I'm still spoiled with being able to take care of a lot of things myself.
As an aside, I've been keeping political discourse mostly at arm's length around here. Having to deal with so many knuckle-dragging folk at work does not help things, and I have declared ye olde blog a mostly politics-free zone. That said, I found something via many other postings I find to be a true gem. For some unknown reason, I always liked those silly "Wassup" ads from a few years back from Budweiser. I've amassed a collection of countless derivatives along with the few official ads. The latest, and by far greatest of the skits find the same guys eight years later. Things arent what they used to be for the five dudes. But, there is, as they say, "hope".
I find this absolutely brilliant.
Hope y'all have a great week.
