The power around these parts has been AWFUL.  I asked hubs the other day if he's happy with our generator purchase.  He replied that he was and that he's surprised at how much it's run for non-hurricane related reasons.  

 

On a side note, he and I took a sourdough bread making class yesterday.  It was fun.  It wasn't horribly difficult, but it will take a minute to become efficient at making the bread.  4 ingredients though.  Hub's delight when he eats 4 ingredient bread like he used to in Europe as opposed to the 15 ingredient loaves from the grocery store is near comical.  

 

And yes, I'll be in trouble for my maths being all wrong :P

Thrilling Wednesday-on-Thursday report, see man:

 

Infernal neighbors left their miu outside all last night again, irresponsible [censoreds] man.

 

While entering zzz last night, we heard miuing, typical of Play With Me Daddy man.

In morning, we found 2 feather-rollers by our office chair, where miu expected to find Daddy man.

We made sure to play with miu, enthusiastic miu man.

 

Miu was highly active all morning, feed/brush/play man.

Then miu spent almost entire rest of day zzz-ing, go figure man.

 

We ordered 2 light-sabers for Mini-B., one each funded by us and Mama T-B. man.

Mini-B. will be excited if they arrive next week as promised, new Two Guys activity man.

 

Lunch was PB&J sandwiches, ingest Two Guys man.

We siesta'd thereafter, zzz we man.

 

Around half-past Many p.m., it began to monsoon like an illegitimate male child, holy mackerel man.

It kept up for nearly Many (2+2) hours, wow man.

 

It was non-Two-Guys eve, sigh man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. collected Mini-B., necessary man.

We din-dinned on the remaining breaded chicken strips from the freezer, ingest we man.

 

Movie night was more Everybody Hates Chris episodes, quite good man.

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

This makes Many (2x2x2x2) for the week, impressive man.

 

In theory, we are within range of our all-time popcorn record, Many (2x2x2x2x2 -2) bowls man.

This would necessitate consuming Many (2+2+1) bowls each of the next Many (2+1) days, hmm man.

Regardless, this is not something that we or Mini-B. are wild to undertake, gastronomic repercussions man.

 

Party with the rubias ongoing, cavort we man.

And that was/is our exciting Tuesday, report we man.

Thrilling Friday non-GS/ES report, see man:

 

Infernal neighbors left their miu out all night yet again, :ranting: man.

Lunch for Mini-B. was PB&J sandwiches, ingest wee man.

Lunch for us was onecan of Aldi chili, ingest we man.

A siesta was taken thereafter, zzz we man.

 

We were about to make our traditional Friday Costco hamburgers when ex-Mrs.-T-B. called, call ex-she man we man man.

Ex-she man asked whether we wanted BK for din-din, curious why we man.

It was for Father's Day, aha man.

 

Our order was as follows, see man:

 -- 2 Whoppers without lettuce for us, and no fries, order we for we man man

 -- 1 Whopper without onions, and fries, for Mini-B., order we for wee man man

 -- 2 root beers without ice, si man

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. showed up with the following, see man:

 -- 2 Whoppers without onions, :bonk: man

 -- 1 Whopper without lettuce or onions, :bonk: man

 -- 2 fries, :bonk: man

 -- 2 Dr Peppers with ice, :bonk: man

 -- KFC for ex-she man, :girlwerewolf2xn: man

You see what we lived with, see and si and :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

 

All was nevertheless consumed, ingest Two Guys and ex-Mrs.-T-B. man.

Miu leapt onto table twice to see what was good, KFC of the most interest man.

 

Mini-B. & ex-Mrs.-T-B. then had light-saber battles, impressive and terrified the miu man.

Two episodes of Everybody Hates Chris were then watched without popcorn, heresy man.

Some mini-hoop and Nerf football were then played, raucous man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. then left, bye ex-she man man.

We got bitten by Many,000,000,000 mosquitoes while seeing ex-she man off, din-din we man.

 

Next week probably a warshout because of stupid pre-hurricane, stay even farther south man.

 

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

 

Must embed Mini-B. and then party with the rubias, cavort we man.

And that was/is our thrilling Friday, si man.

Why doesn't Mini-B get to cavort with the rubias too?

This would make them useful besides merely being rubias, miracle if so man.

I was thinking he would be your perfect wingman.  He attracts them over, and then you "set the hook and reel them in"

 

What a team.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.
