That's going to be tough, as the guy has amazing buns 😍  I should stop there, since VJ is a family-friendly site...

 

Also, it might be my fault -- earlier in our marriage, I told him one of his husbandly duties is to keep me away from temptation.  I didn't think he would take it so seriously! 😆

Steady rain overnight till noon, needed man.

Around then, we took ourself to a free expo in a nearby convention center, exponential decision man.

Vendors rather uninteresting, but got a free box lunch*, ingest we man.

     *we'd been debating what to do about lunch, opportune man

Got another lunch offered to us for free, leftovers man.   

We took this one back to the casa, stock up we man.

 

From expo, we went to Aldi, long shopping-list man.

We had not done a thorough trip to Aldi for quite a while, reacquaint ourself man.

Some prices had nearly doubled, actually doubled, or Manypled, inflation man.

We got out of there with almost our entire list of stuff for $Many, si man.

 

After pantrying/cupboarding/refrigerating/freezering all, served miu her treats, serve we miu man.

Miu then fell asleep, rather regular condition of miu man.

We emulated miu, zzz we man.

 

Awoke in time to retrieve Mini-B. for Two Guys eve, excited we man.

However, ex-Mrs.-T-B. met us outside her casa, uh-oh man.

"He doesn't want to go, no man," said ex-she man to we man.

We were disappointed and shocked, uh-oh man.

Ex-she man said that Mini-B. was tired and expecting this another day, explain ex-she man to we man.

 

We T-B.-mobiled ourself to BK as we would have with wee man, tradition man.

We sat in the parking lot contemplating our coupons without enthusiasm, unenthused we man.

We then T-B.-mobiled back to the casa, return we man.

Din-din was onecan of newly purchased Aldi chili, ingest we man.

 

We inventoried Mini-B.'s clothes purchased on Monday, half-price man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. later confirmed that Mini-B. was tired/lazy, well OK man.

Ex-she man probably read him the riot act, imaginable man.

Two Guys eve will occur without fail on Thursday, assure ex-she man we man.

 

Miu has been zzz-ing most of the morn, afternoon, and eve, out-zonked miu man.

Party with the rubias after late TV news, cavort we man.

I'm sitting at MIA, the Miami airport waiting for our flight to Istanbul.... Don't ask, as it wasn't my idea.  It was my wife's turn to pick a vacation destination.  For her it was a toss up between Istanbul and Israel.  Lucky for us she made the right choice this time.

 

Anyway, for all the MANY years I have lived here and most of it spending days in the FL Keys, I still learn something new.

 

This one is for TBoneTX.  https://www.islamoradatimes.com/toilet-seat-cut/  or google toilet seat cut for more pictures.  

Hope you can appreciate this.

 

Might be able to check in from time to time depending on the internet situation.  At any rate will be home in just about 2 weeks.

"From the creation of this channel to the decoration of the area with toilet seats, the whole thing is technically less than legal. Nonetheless, it’s a Florida Keys mainstay and officials have understood the outrage that would ensue if measures were taken to make this area completely lawful and compliant – and so it remains. People have decorated and added toilet seats to commemorate engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, spring breaks, and just plain old fun. You’ll find seats that are painted and adorned with sunsets, animals, portraits and more elements and special memories from their stays in Islamorada."

 

==> We laugh at the amateurish efforts of the locals, ha man.  We could (for a bargain price -- to wit, a handsome 0.000001% discount off full retail) decorate this place in the manner to which it should be, si man.

Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

Because we got to bed at Many a.m. -- si man, Many a.m. -- we didn't get going till noonish, groggy we man.

 

Mama T-B. had a shopping list, si man.

As usual, it had 2 or Many everyday items that had to be procured from 2 or Many stores,  man.

We convinced her not to make us come over to retrieve a Many-cent-off coupon first,  man.

Fortunately, we had anticipated one request and handled it at Aldi the other day, anticipatory we man.

We got the other items as directed, si man.

However, the canned tuna was Many cents instead of her expected Many cents, si man.

We entered her place with a "Now, don't go aysheep!" greeting, si man.

Fortunately, she didn't grouse too much, no man.

Her casa was, as usual, Many,000 degrees inside, why must old people fry themselves man.

She chose to lecture us about the usual topics, sweat-soaked we man.

We finally made our escape, drenched we man.   

 

We went from there to the children's resale place, si man.

We had Many of Mini-B.'s outgrown items, hope to sell man.

They took only Many of them, very picky man.

They offered us $Many, anything's better than nothing man.

We had found some long pants for sale, pull trigger we man.

We netted $2.Many ($2 + [2x2x2x2x2 -1] cents), profit man.

We have walked out of there on all of our Many (2x2x2) or Many (2x2x2 +1) visits with a profit, $ucce$$ful Bu$ine$$ Typhoon we man.

 

Returned to casa for a siesta, zzz we man.

Couldn't zzz because we'd eaten nothing all day, timing wrong man.

At least it helped to close our eyes for a while, oh well man.

 

Retrieved Mini-B. from skool for Two Guys eve, si man.

Mini-B. was snarly, surly, profane, insulting, hurtful, and rude, good grief man.

We got him back to the casa where he accepted our free box lunch from yesterday, ingest wee man.

He was a little less snarly after eating, barely noticeable man.

 

Breakfast/lunch/din-din for us was toucans of chicken noodle soup, ingest we man.

 

We urged him to look at nearly Many (2+2) months of stacked-up Baba-Mails, previously a shared activity man.

Mini-B. resisted but finally agreed, si man.

His nose was buried in his phone the whole time and he said that everything was "boring,"  man.

Didn't even matter when we said that Mama T-B. had sent some of them specially for him, no man.

We gave up after a while, sigh man.

 

Mini-B. went outside to play basketball by himself, OK man.

We went out to join him, ignored we man.

We offered to play with him, ignore wee man we man.

He did say, "Why don't you rebound" his missed shots, rude wee man.

It appeared that he was off-blowing steam or anger during this time, surmise we man.

 

He finally agreed to play HORSE, amazing man.

We intentionally tanked, let him win we man.

He then said that he wanted to take Many (2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 +2) shots himself, si man.

He took Many (2+2), and we said, "That's 2 out of Many (2+2)," si man.

Mini-B. decided to download a shot-counter onto his phone, took Many minutes man.

This was apparently easier than using one's mind and memory, presume we man.

 

We left him alone, oh well man.

He came in and announced that he'd made Many of the Many shots, well OK man.

He was not congenial but was less derisive, no and si man.

 

We took him back to ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s an hour early, oh well man.

We suspect that we will lose half-custody of him by his choice sooner or later, sigh man.

We do think that all electronics need to be taken from him, long overdue but almost impossible man.

And, in past years, an intense session by the woodshed with a belt would have been called for, sigh man.

We are out of ideas, please offer man.

 

We have itineraried Many (2+2+1) ESs and Many (2+2) GSs for Friday, itinerary we man.

No party with the rubias tonight, out-bummed we man.
