Thrilling Saturday non-ES report, see man:

 

We were determined to have a Two Guys day, Mini-B. a computer-game sloth man.

We promised him lunch at FST restaurant, appealing initially man.

When it came actual time to go, he resisted, unsurprising man.

We got results when we threatened to have him spend the night at the Rojo's casa*, ha man.

     *ex-Mrs.-T-B. always drags him there, doesn't like it wee man man

 

Tried to have a Two Guys car-trip conversation about growing up, girls, etc., try we with wee man man.

Mini-B. refused to tell us about girl interests because "You'll tell Mom, si man," si man.

We gave up and let him play on his phone, sigh man.

 

FST restaurant was surprisingly underpopulated for a Saturday, surprised we man.

Lunch for us was chopped sirloin steak with double green beans, ingest we man.

Lunch for Mini-B. was fried chicken tenders with double French fries, ingest most wee man.

We finished what Mini-B. didn't, gorged we man.

Took home whole cherry pie, never pass these up when available we man.

 

Mini-B. stayed in the the T-B.-mobile for the following, see man:

     1.  Stopped at gas station for local newspaper, give to Mama T-B. on Sunday man.

     2.  Stopped at FST grocery store for several items, destination not an option man.

     Many.  Stopped at ES, q.v. above man.

     Many.  Gassed T-B.-mobile at Costco, what a gas man.

 

Two Guys pretty tired upon return to casa, road-tripping Two Guys man.

Although too early, miu insisted on treats and lunch, service insistent miu we man.

We took a shower, good move after warm windy day man.

Mini-B. lay down on his bed and we almost thought that he'd take a siesta, unprecedented man.

We siesta'd, dead-to-world we man.

Mini-B. spent rest of day chiefly computer-gaming, addicted wee man man.

 

Neither of us was truly hungry for din-din, stuffed Two Guys man.

Din-din was one PB&J sandwich each + about 1/Many'rd of cherry pie, ingest Two Guys man.

Both of us perked up after that, sugar-buzzed we and wee man man.

Big slice of remaining pie to be taken to Mama T-B., reserved already man.

 

We hope to get Mini-B. embedded on time, tired wee man man.

We could stand an earlier embedding ourself, like that'll ever happen** man.

     **the impatient rubias wish to cavort with us yet again, so what else is new man

 

Of note, ex-Mrs.-T-B. didn't hound us incessantly regarding our whereabouts, rather amazing man.

Overall, a good Two Guys day, si man.

Thrilling Sunday report, see man:

 

Groceried for Mama T-B. before visit, assist senior she man we man.

Also brought a huge slice of the FST cherry pie, supply senior she man we man.

Mama T-B. lectured us, as usual man.

We got the expensive orange juice and large-curd (not small-curd) cottage cheese, :bonk: we man.

We also should not have spent $Many on delicious pie, :bonk: we man.

 

Mama T-B. funded 2 lunches from her monthly meal allocation, fund we and wee man senior she man.

Unfortunately, she first offered Mini-B. some pumpkin pie & several chocolates, :girlwerewolf2xn: :ranting: :bonk: man.

This hosed Mini-B.'s appetite and our meal schedule, :ranting: man.

 

At the casa, we consumed the beef/rice soup, beef brisket, green beans, coleslaw, & din-din roll, ingest we man.

Mini-B. was still full from the junk and preferred his computer games, :ranting: man.

 

Conquered the Many (2+1) laundry loads, triumphant we man.

Siesta'd for a glorious hour, zzz we man.

 

Mini-B. finally wanted din-din, ingest onecan of S+Ms wee man.

We consumed "his" intended lunch, q.v. above and ingest we man.

Dessert was the rest of the FST cherry pie, ingest Two Guys man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. came with Super Bowl snacks, only stuff that ex-she man finds palatable man.

We didn't want to watch the game at all, no man.

However, Mini-B. said he did, enthused wee man.

We therefore gave in, oh well man.

 

Mini-B. unhappy with game's outcome, us kinda too man.

Left late and downcast, not the way to end Two Guys week man.

Hopefully, he'll be functional at skool on Monday, too many late nights man.

 

Miu awoke after Many (2+2) hours asleep on our bed and demanded service, service miu we man.

We must purchase more miu-food before Chewy autoship arrives, running short man.

 

Party with the rubias imminent, cavort we man.

Closed on old place on Friday because county recorder's office has meetings today.

Closing on new place on Tuesday.

Staying here until Friday anyway.

Trying to get away with only taking one day off of work because the movers say they should be here on Monday and I have President's day off work, but we'll see.

 

Going out for dinner tonight with neighbors. Haven't seen them much since they had their second baby, but they've been good friends to us here.

 

Papa-Dave has put together long list of stuff from the inspector's report that he says he can fix; will be there later next week with mama-Dave (who gets to play with mini-Dave, though we've already found a new preschool for him).

NC law apparently means he needs to see a doctor in NC or a neighboring state before starting preschool in NC, so have an appointment with the closest pediatrician I could make an appointment with online for a holiday. Anything he can't fix we'll need to call professionals.

Thrilling Monday report, see man:

 

Got embedded at half-past 2 a.m. and awoke at Many (2x2x2 +1) a.m., zzz we man.

 

Today was monthly bulk-trash collection, anything too big for curbside bins man.

We have routinely curbsided our regular garbage, and they collect it, opportune we man.

They have taken things as big as sofas, fun to see the truck blades crush those man.

 

Relevant rant #1 with background, see and :ranting: man:

Our next-door neighborette moved in perhaps Many years ago, si man.

She has Many (2+1) kids, all (plus her) fat as pigs man.

Kids are markedly sullen and even ignore friendly greetings, sigh man.

Neighborette is pleasant enough to us if we speak to her, si man.

However, when we're outside at 1 a.m., we can hear her screaming psychotically* at the youngest, wow man.

     *we've been strongly tempted to call the cops, that level of psycho man

Their entire diet is 'za and Doordash food, observe personally we man.

No father figure has ever been around except for a young hood-rat who briefly moved in, sad man.

 

They had a free-standing Spalding basketball hoop** in their driveway, ugly and mammoth man.

     **Mini-B.'s is on our back patio, much more appropriate man

They neglected to fill the base with water or sand***, :bonk:  man.

     ***we filled ours with water as part of installation, duh man

Their apparatus therefore fell over during a winter windstorm, backboard shattered man.

They threw out the shattered backboard pieces almost immediately, fit in garbage bin man.

The useless rest of it has been lying on its side in their driveway ever since, many weeks man.

 

Today, they curbsided it for bulk collection, but all in one piece, :bonk: man.

We saw the garbage guys slap a yellow sticker on it, couldn't take it unless disassembled man.

The apparatus is now dragged back onto their driveway, will probably sit there for weeks man.

(These are the same people who let their dog poop in our back yard through a busted fence, sigh man.)

 

We're tempted to call the HOA, enough is enough man.

However, the risks the HOA's nailing us for something, never invite busybodies over man.

We're wondering what our options are, si man.

 

Breakfast/lunch (at 2 p.m.) was Subway****, ingest we man.

     ****bought WUOC, financially savvy we man

 

Rant #2, see and :ranting: man:

Mama T-B. gave us some bags full of papers to shred, old bank statements et al. man.

These dated from 2 to Many (2x2x2x2 -2) -- si man, Many (2x2x2x2 -2) -- years ago, :bonk: man.

She calls us and says, "I want those shredded today -- today, si man!" aysheep senior she man.

We said that we were doing it and that there was no need to go aysheep, si and no man.

Our shredder overheated several times, wait half an hour each time we man.

We had to dump the shredder bin Many (2+2) -- si man, Many (2+2) -- times, si man.

Despite our bagging efforts, some spilled onto our recently maid-cleaned floor, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

As we swept it up, miu decided to play in it, skid it across floor and get caught in miu-fur man.  :ranting:

 

Din-din was a square of carrot cake donated by Mama T-B., ingest we man.

 

Rant #Many (2+1), see and :ranting: man:

Mini-B. is now boycotting any short pants less than Many (2x2x2x2 +2+2) inches long, picky wee man.

Of course, most of his pants are Many (2x2x2x2 +2+1) inches long, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

We shall therefore go to favorite large thrift shop on Tuesday during discount day, $i and $igh man.

Of course, Mama T-B. wants us to come over to help her buy a CD, stop the world for this man.

 

Rant #Many (2+2), see and :ranting: man:

The rubias are pestering us about what we're going to do for them on V.D., Wednesday man.

They will not shut up, bothersome rubias man.

The obvious V.D. gift is a personal case of V.D., obvious man.

We're tempted to suspend cavorting until we can contract V.D. to give them on V.D., that's one idea man.

The other idea is to find new and less-demanding rubias, leaning this direction we man.

Scintillating Wednesday repartee, yawn man.

~~~~~~~~~~

Thrilling Wednesday report, see man:

 

Lunch was the remaining Walmart beef/been burrito, ingest we man.

 

Mama T-B. was aysheep regarding buying a CD and getting into her other new account, password hosed man.

We signed her up for a new one, every step surrounded by senior she man's aysheep worries man.  :girlwerewolf2xn:

We called the other place and got the password out-straightened, aysheep senior she man.

Why do we get yelled at when we try to help, huh and :girlwerewolf2xn: man?

 

Then, Mama T-B. went aysheep because "these will expire at the same time and we'll have to go through all this next year, si man," si and :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

 

Returned to casa for a siesta, much-needed zzz man.

This was delayed when ex-Mrs.-T-B. texted to say that she was positive for Covid-Many, si man.

We agreed to de-skool Mini-B. at release time instead of later, our Two Guys eve anyway man.

 

Mini-B. was cranky as always after skool, tired/hungry wee man man.

We offered to buy a 'za if he agreed to view Many (si man, Many) accumulated Baba-Mails, si man.

Mini-B. refused the latter but accepted the former, tail wagging dog man.

 

An extra-large 'roni 'za was procured, returned to the casa, and mostly consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

 

Mini-B. then tried on and accepted Many (2+2) of the Many (2+2+2) short pants bought Tuesday, OK man.

We will take the rejects to the resale place on Thursday, automatic acceptance with store tags man.

Of course, miu had discovered the box of clothes, soft new miu-bed man.  :bonk: 

 

Miu demanded and got a thorough brushing, brush demanding miu man we man.

She is jockeying for another brushing + play, expectant miu man.

 

We are glad to have told the rubias "nothing doing" on V.D., amateur night man.

We will cavort with them or their replacements on Thursday night, cavort we man.

Scintillating Thursday repartee, yawn man.

==========

Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

Went briefly to Mama T-B.'s to get xerox copy of her driver license, easing purchase of future CDs man.

 

From there, took Mini-B.'s outgrown/spurned shirts/pants to children's resale place, si man.

They took all but 2 shirts, $$$$$$$$i and whee man!

Their offer of purchase was $Many, highly acceptable man.

We found one pair of short pants to buy Mini-B., $Many-&-a-half man.

We walked out with $Many ($2x2x2x2 +2) in our hands, $ucce$$ful Bu$ine$$ Typhoon we man.

On all of our Many (2x2x2) or Many (2x2x2 +1) visits, we have always left with a profit, financially savvy we man.

 

From there, we groceried at the nearby Aldi for ourself and for Mama T-B., we man and senior she man man.

 

We then returned to the casa, serviced demanding miu, and refrigerated Mama T-B.'s stuff, si man.

Lunch was the remaining Many (2+1) slices of yesterday's Two Guys 'za, ingest we man.

We then researched CDs for Mama T-B., nonstop process man.

We found one or two not previously unveiled, good rates man.

 

 

After a siesta, returned to Mama T-B.'s casa, return we man.

Spent an hour reviewing and researching CDs with Mama T-B., mostly nonirritable senior she man.

She then revealed that she'd have no more funds until a CD matures in Many (2+1) days, :bonk: man!

Much of our research might therefore be moot, rates changing all the time man.  :girlwerewolf2xn:

 

Din-din was carved pork roast, garlic mashed, & mac + cheese from Mama T-B.'s bistro, ingest we man.

 

 

Party with the rubias (some retained, some new) later, cavort we man.

ESs to be itineraried, stay tuned man.

Overall, not a bad day, no man.
