Temperatures are predicted to plummet out here, but not in the way of the eastern part of the country. We had originally planned on heading to Chicago, this week, but sanity prevails and I’ve decided to delay the trip until the weather in Chicago improves a slight bit.

Nice dinner this weekend with Joe and his new girlfriend, Virginia. Political talk was a bit heated, but when isn’t it lately?

ML is fine. Easy to deal with. Must be the meds.

Tori is irascible. I’m wondering if ML will share her meds with her.

Today is Sunday, so we head to SF to eat and run errands. Hippie food or regular good food? If we leave early enough I think it will be hippie food.

Stolen directly from Facebook. Too good not to.

• A new wrinkle in my life. Yesterday was hectic.
• Crazed almost.
• I put over 300 miles on the Jeep yesterday.
• Santa Fe once. Las Vegas twice.
• I repaired the on screen lighting on the pumps.
• It took eight 7 watt  fluorescent bulbs to fix.
• I thought it was a hard fix but it was easy.
• Very easy. Time consuming though.
• Well, all our pumps are now 100% again.
• I found out that the Illfeld store closed on the last day of 2013.
• That s.o.b. told me that he was going to drive me out of business.
• HA! Moron!
• He thought he had inside info that would make his place a win.
• He lost!
• Yeah, I’m enjoying his closing.
• He was forced to close because he didn’t do the pump upgrades.
• I did the upgrades. I knew they were coming and saved to do it.
• It appears that he had an inside person with the enviro dept.
• I talked to the people in the state office about me.
• Maybe he came up in the conversation. Maybe not.
• Two down. One to go.
• Muwahahah.

I pretend to like people everyday. It’s called being an adult. That’s why we’re allowed to buy booze.

• I played poker last night.
• I did not win but my losses were minimal.
• Makes the night and losses worthwhile.
• I ripped Jiminy a new one last night.
• That alone was worth it.
• Erin is gone. I was sad when she left.
• Planning another trip east this month.
• Nina is coming with me.
• I may make her drive at night while I sleep.

I don’t record my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show people who already think like me that they’re not alone.

• The insanity continues.

With the huge government mess ups of the year, the ACA being shoved down our throats, the government shut down, the down economy while being lied to by the prez about how great things are, and many more stupid things.

The loss of several family members also rank 2013 as a bad year for many of my family, including me.

2013, I hope you are embarrassed.

If at anytime in 2013 I have annoyed you, pissed you off, or simply said anything wrong . . . . suck it it Buttercup ‘cuz 2014 ain’t gonna be any different!
