Friday GS report, see man:

 

We went to FST for the citywide GS, great semiannual activity man.

We really had to search for GSs at first, puzzling man.

We concluded that everyone was either working or scared off by the weather forecast, storms man.

Thankfully, we found quite a few more GSs in other 'hoods, relief man.

 

There was also a printed list of locations, available in our lunch restaurant,  and  and  man.

However, several of those advertising for Friday were phantom,  man.

 

In all, we attended perhaps 2 Manyzen GSs, think we man.

Only one of them yielded the take, see man:

 -- pants for Mini-B.; business-card folio = $Many ($2+1) + half-of-half a buck, OK man

Total = $Many + half-of-half a buck

[TBoneTX 45,287]

Thrilling Friday non-GS report, see man:

 

We got to FST at around Many (2x2x2 +2) a.m., late start man.

Terrible roadwork delays with main drag being repaved, necessary-yet-irritating* man.

     *and stoopid to the max, to schedule it on GS weekend man   

 

Stopped at FST supermarket, avail ourself of specials man.

Lunched at FST Mexican restaurant, chicken enchilada plate ingest we man.

Followed printed GS guide to further ESs, enh man.

Returned to casa by half-past 2 p.m., nice day out despite anemic GS take man.

 

Immediately serviced outraged miu, service miu we man.

Took much-needed shower, Texas weather Many man.

 

In about an hour, severe thunderstorms started, boom man.

We have never heard thunder continuously for a full minute before, no man.

We decided to siesta for over an hour, need zzz we man.

However, see man:

       1.  Miu was dozing precisely south of our bed pillow, coax invasive miu to move man.

       2.  Immediately after we lay down, Uncle T-B. called,  man

Many.  Thunder kept us slightly awake,  man

Many.  Miu noisily announced her wish that Daddy play feather-rollers with her,  man

Many.  Phone rang (we ignored it) with call of worry from Mama T-B., we're OK siiiii man  

Many.  The alarm rang just as we began dozing off,  man

Obviously, our siesta was hosed,  man.

 

Our contemplated din-din is probably 2 ham sandwiches, indict them and ingest we man.

 

We have itineraried Many (2+2) ESs for Saturday, itinerary we man.

Naturally, 2 are one direction from the casa and 2 are in the other direction,  man.

We attended only 2 ESs, tired from more noisy overnight storms we man.

 

One of the ESs yielded the take, see man:

We complied after servicing demanding miu, miu-treats + miu-lunch man.

 

After siesta, went to second supermarket, explorational we man.

Delivered all stuff to Mama T-B., deliver we man.

Got more useless random items to take back to casa, where does senior she man find this junk man.

 

Din-din was a nuked Boston Market frozen pot-roast din-din, ingest we man.

Supposed to be more noisy storms overnight, oh great man.

We were quite lucky not to get hailed on yesterday, Gang Gang the Hail's All Here man.

 

We should probably take another siesta, a bit late therefor now man.

Besides, miu is again zzz-ing just south of our pillow, pick anywhere else please miu man.

Thrilling Monday-on-Tuesday report, see belatedly man:

 

Did not leave casa except on skool runs, ensconced we man.

Morning hectic with Uncle T-B. unable to make any decisions and Mama T-B. yelling,  man.

 

The Uncle-T-B.-mobile has been sitting outside his door, unstartable, for Many years, eyesore man.

Some people keep banging on his back door demanding to buy it, irritating to senior he man man.

They're incredibly aggressive, pushy man.

It's unknown whether they checked in at front desk first, probably not man.

They want to write him a check for the UTBmobile, even fishier man.

We told Uncle T-B. that they're bullying him, obvious man.

We told him to put them off for a week at least, we're pursuing outside interest man.

He finally agreed to say, "I can't find the title right now," might work man.

We're ready to confront those people ourself or call the authorities, protective we man.

Mama T-B. yelled at Uncle T-B. about that and at us for that plus Many00 other things,  senior she man.

 

Lunch was 2 ham sandwiches, indict them and ingest we man.

An uninterrupted siesta was then taken, true boon of zzz man.

 

Din-din was burnt pork ends in BBQ sauce, loaded tater tots, & canned corn, ingest Two Guys man.

The first item was from Aldi at a highly reasonable price, experiment we man.

Mini-B. gave us double high-Manys (high-[2+2+1]s), super-enjoy din-din wee man man.

This will now be a regular menu item, add to din-din rotation we man.

 

Movie night included the last Many episodes of Young Sheldon on Netflix, watch Two Guys man.

Many (2+2) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

The current/final season of YS shifts to Paramount+, episodes released every Thursday man.

Mini-B. isn't enthusiastic about returning to The Twilight Zone, what a shame man.

 

We now begin a marathon of doctor visits for Uncle T-B. & Mama T-B., necessary stuff man.

Rant on Tuesday morning,  we man:

 

Mini-B. took forever to de-bed, groggy wee man man.

He took forever to shower, "I wanted a long one, si man,"  man.

He took even longer than the shower to dry off,  man.

He took even longer than that to dress, didn't like selected shirt man.  

He took forever to breakfast himself, put phone down and chew and swallow already man.  

We were borderline-late to skool, hairy man.

 

We asked, "Do you have your inhaler, huh man?" si man.

Mini-B. answered, "Si, man," si man.

We asked a second time, "Do you have your inhaler, huh man?" si man.

Mini-B. answered, "Si, man," si man.

We asked a Many'rd time, "Do you have your inhaler, huh man?" si man.

Mini-B. answered, "Si, man," si man.

 

Less than a block from skool, Mini-B. said, "Oh, no, oh no man,"  we man.

"What, huh man?" we asked, ask wee man we man man.

"I forgot my inhaler, si man," said Mini-B.,      we man.

 

We made a majorly improper turn and blew back to the casa,  man.

We ordered Mini-B. to run inside to get his inhaler and to close all the doors, no-nonsense we man.

"Did you close all the doors, huh man?" asked we man of wee man man.

"Si, man," responded Mini-B., si man.

We blew back to skool to beat first bell by 1 minute, just made it man.

 

Back at the casa, Mini-B. had left inside door open,  man.

Miu was nosing around beside it, curious miu man.

We just closed outside door in time to prevent escaped miu, Providential man.

 

We have not retaken our blood pressure since all this, probably a wise choice man.

Happy Anniversary @DaveAndAnastasia

 

 

I've been busy all week building a heated night box for the tortoises. Optimus Prime is now 3lbs and will be ready to be outside full time this summer. This is what I have done so far. The floor, walls and roof are all insulated with 1 1/2 foam insulation. Caulking all joints to prevent heat loss in the winter. I still need to finish the front wall with doors. This is 4x8 and will then be divided into 4x4 spaces. One side for each tortoise. Then they will have divided yards too. I will still need to plant some shade plants for them as this is a really sunny location.
