Makes me wonder, ya know.

Being a Luddite is sounding better and better.

Well, today is a busy day for us. I start the day with Pilates and Nina, Tori, and Erin are getting their hair done.

The rest of my day will fill up quickly, as all my days do lately. Not sure what the girls have planned for the rest of the day, but Nina always keeps herself busy.

They predict rain today and for most of the rest of the week. Not good riding weather. Of course I’m sure the weatherliars are wrong as usual.

Nina and I are not sure where or if we’re doing dinner tonight since el Rialto is still closed for cleaning.

Monday we are closed for 4 days due to a gas line upgrade. As it draws closer I get angrier at the total stupidity of this unneeded mandatory upgrade. I hate the EPA and our government. Hate.

The pictured bike is not my bike BTW. Just figured to post a pic of Dennis’ new bike, with me standing next to it for shits and giggles.

It would be fun to drive though!

Finally.

You never know how much you depend on shit until you don’t have it, right Tort?

Erin that is. After a 10 day absence, she’s headed home. I have to tell you that I miss her when she spends extended days away from me.

Tori’s place is getting close to finished. Tori’s working hard on moving in and setting things up, but the impatience of youth has her thinking she’s not doing enough. Chill Tort, it will happen in its own time and you’ll be happy again.

Other Stuff

The ladies are still here and while SH is now under hospice care, she appears the same to us. ML was given a book about naughty history and she’s been reading that and chuckling to herself. We’ve had that book sitting on the toilet for years and I figured she might enjoy it. She’s a twisted old bat.

I’m freaking tired of summer.

Well, next week we close the store for 4 days, maybe 5, so the construction company can replace our gas lines. We really don’t have to close the store, but we feel that it will give us a chance to clean things really well and maybe make a few changes to things like layout and inventory. Monday the 16th will be the first day closed. I also feel that closing for these days will reinforce our importance to the community to those that take us for granted.

Merry Christmas everyone!

They’ll reopen on Friday the 13th. I don’t like the implications! Now where are we going to eat tonight?

31 years approaching fast. 9/11/13. We’re gonna spend the night in Alb. and have dinner with friends. The Elephant Bar at 7:00.

Nina says Steaksmith tonight. Been a while since we were there.

8 Harleys sitting out front now. Nice looking rides.

Tori got her permit and letter of compliance from the county today. That means she can get electric run to the house and move in afterwards. The electric co-op is closed today. My little bundle of joy and lightness was less than joyous and light when she found out that she couldn’t file the letter with the co-op. Monday is the soonest she can file it. I’m expecting a quiet and calm weekend, a weekend of quiet meditation and whispered conversation, a weekend of deep reflection.

BULLSHIT! This weekend is gonna suck big time.

I get up in the morning and I can feel fall is on the way. It’s brisk and I love it. Cool weather is my weather. This morning I heard the weather liar tell of frost tonight in the northeast, the first of the season. I can’t wait for it to happen here.

Looked at Harleys the other day. Nice stuff and not as bad $$ as I thought they would be. Wouldn’t hurt my feelings to own a bike again. We’ll see what Nina says if I get serious.

I have influence! With my friends that is. Diane is the third friend to go the Apple route with new computers. Catherine should fall in line soon. Apple kicks ass when it comes to computing.

Delays with Tori’s home. Stupid stuff. She’s about ready to kill people slowly if they don’t comply and let her in.

Peace

Studies have proven that people who celebrate more birthdays live longer than people that don’t.
