- Nina and I did lunch today.
- Erin is gone. after a week of her annoying Tori to the point of driving us crazy, we’re glad to see her go.
- Turns out ML’s hospice nurse knows Belle. Both Nina and I feel that this is not a good thing. More info to follow, maybe.
- Haven’t ridden for a bit so tomorrow I may take the Harley out for a run.
- Andy’s birthday was yesterday. It was a non-event here. He’s not impressed with such trivialities I guess. Debra cooked him a nice dinner.
- Credit card machine problems again right now. We’ll be 100% tomorrow morning sometime. We’re at 68% right now. We can do credit cards, but not debit cards.
- I talked to the credit card company about getting ready for 2015’s new regs and they said that it wouldn’t cost too much and that Walt would call me sometime soon and get us up to speed. In 10/15 everyone should be on the “chip & PIN” system. If you’re not using that then you assume liability for your losses due to fraud rather than the c/c company.
- Pain in the ass.
Romney says no.
Ann Romney that is. Good news indeed.
My internal clock is all messed up
I can usually feel what day it is, but today, while I know it’s Tuesday, it feels like any day but Tuesday. I hate this, holidays suck.
Today we did the banking and I did some web work for a friend. Stupid shit that is fairly easy. I’ll do some more later this evening for him and try to finish tomorrow.
Erin, Nina, and I did breakfast at Charlie’s again, just like any other Monday. While they waited for me at the restaurant, I did the banking. Bank regs are getting to be a pain in the ass lately. Lucky the bank officers are all friendly with me.
Erin and I picked up three Plecostomus, algae eaters, for her fish tank. They’re having a feast there. I never realized how much algae had accumulated since I clean the front glass regularly. The side and rear glass seem to have needed cleaning too and that’s where they are feasting. I hope they don’t get too large for the tank.
Erin and Debra are doing schoolwork together at the kitchen table. She’s doing very well and she’s pretty happy with this situation. We were singing the alphabet song on the way into town this morning.

For Mom, and all the other older readers of this blog.
Mom, you’ve been sending me the old fart jokes and I always appreciate them because they are not only funny, but true, sometimes. Well, I found a funny and cute video that I felt you may enjoy.
Jokes
Three guys were working digging a hole and they uncovered a bottle with a genie and he agreed to give each of them a wish.
The first guy was a liberal and he wanted a big piece if land full of all the liberals in the USA and a 300 ft fence around it so there would be no gun totten true blue collar types allowed.
The next guy snuck across the border and wanted a big piece of land for all the illegal aliens so they could all get paid by the govt. He also wanted a 300 ft fence around it to keep out the working types.
The third guy thought for a long time. Then said………….well you got the pools built go ahead and put lids on em and fill em with water.

I stopped by the Ford Dealership yesterday, for a look at the new F 150 pickup. Just for fun, I took it out for a test drive. I wanted to sense that new “feel” before they become extinct.
The salesman (a man wearing an Obama “change” lapel pin) sat in the passenger seat describing the truck and all its “wonderful” options. The seats were of particular interest. He explained that the seats directed warm air to your butt in the winter and directed cool air to your butt in the summer heat.
Feeling like messing with him, I mentioned that this must be a Republican truck.
Looking a bit angry, he asked why I thought it was a Republican truck.
I explained that if it were an Obama truck, the seats would just blow smoke up your ass year-round.
I had to walk back to the dealership. Damn guy had no sense of humor.
