Did this yesterday myself while hubs changed the oil on the Jeep.  I also got a little sun toasted as I weeded the side and front flower beds. LONG overdue.  Much nicer looking now.

Usual story with Kid2 here.  That said, he's worked out a deal that if he keeps his average up until the end of the next marking period with no grades below an 80 and no more than 2 grades less than a 90, that we will preorder a computer game that he really, really wants.  I'm ok with it.  If it keeps him motivated, good enough.  

 

We have to take Cat 1 and Cat 2 to the vet today.  Cat 3 and Dog need to go too, but I can only carry 2 cat carriers at a time, so the Boomers get to go first.  The dog can go in combo with any of the cats but Cat 3 cannot go with any combo of the other 2 cats so the dog is his vet partner!

Went to Walmart, seemingly adequate time man.

We thought we saw more of same on far upper shelf, squint we man.

We reached to far upper shelf, pulled, and got bonkus of the conkus, everything fell man.

Fallen items were not the same as what Mama T-B. wanted, no and  man.

 

Went to cosmetics department, alien territory for red-blooded American males man.

Bitchy clerkette was openly rude and hostile to us,  man.

She needs to have her employment status definitively adjusted, no doubt man.

 

Other stuff was at far end of store, groceries man.

We nearly went out that exit before remembering that we'd parked near where we entered, retrace man.

 

Called Mama T-B. to tell her that we hated Walmart with the passion of Many,000 broiling suns,  we man.

Mama T-B. was actually supportive during this tirade and said simply to bring what we had, si man.

 

We proceeded down major thoroughfare to avoid potholed usual route, relief we man.

A stoplight was flashing red at major intersection during skool-pickup hours, gridlock man.

We were quite the happy camper upon arrival to Mama T-B.,      we man.

And, we were running out of time to return to casa to prep for up-picking Mini-B.,  man.

And that was/is our thrilling Monday, report we man.

Rant here...anyone else as completely over UPS and I am these days?  Ordered a power cable for a security camera because Kid1's car is being vandalized by someone that's targeting her and knows we have a Ring camera doorbell.  Security cam is on the eve of the house and oversees the entire driveway and most of the front yard now.  The cable for the camera was supposed to arrive Sunday.  I was grumpy that it delayed on Sunday and rescheduled for today.  Go to check my orders and now it's supposedly delayed until Thursday due to "severe weather".  What the deuce?!?!  Yes, there is a TS in the GoM.  Yes, it's headed NE but it's due to hit Louisiana TOMORROW!!! Every time there's even a hint of weather, UPS claims weather delay.  They are about as reliable as Centerpointless with our power!  This is completely and utterly ridiculous.  USPS had people out during the ridiculous storm in May and then again right after Beryl and I normally don't have tons of nice things to say about them but UPS is making USPS look like All Stars!

No hurricane today, just regular-seeming intermittent rain man.

 

An errand was run, and Subway for lunch was obtained*, ingest we man.

     *WUOC, financially savvy we man

A lengthy siesta was then taken, zzz we man.

 

Mini-B.'s skool Band was to perform the Natural Anthem at the ball game, honor for Honors Band man.

We T-B.-mobiled to ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa, travel we man.

The Rojo drove the ex-Mrs.-T-B.-mobile through rain and traffic to the ballpark, chauffeur Rojo man.

 

The impromptu financial arrangements were as follows, see man:

      1.  Ex-Mrs.-T-B. bought the Many (2+2) tickets, expen$ive man.

      2.  We were to buy the parking, see below man.

Many.  The Rojo ended up funding the vittles, see below man.

 

We had been advised by Band Director to purchase parking on-line in advance, advise he everyone man.

We dutifully did this, si man.

We found the nearest lot at a seemingly reasonable $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 -1), si man.

The total was $Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 +1), tax and "service fees" man!     

As we drove up, lots across the street were advertising $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 -2),  man.

 

Many highly foxy chicas populated the stadium corridors, including rubias man.

 

Tuesdays are $1 for beef hot dogs, reasonable man.

Every other food/beverage item costs $Many -- si man, $Many -- outrageous rip-off man.

Fortunately, the Rojo funded the vittles, final total probably more than we paid for parking man.

We consumed Many (2+2) hot dogs, ingest we man.

Our seats sucked, foul-ground area of left field man.

We had to keep getting up to let idiots pass through, get all your damned food at once please man.  

Mini-B.'s band performed, we presume acceptably because acoustics sucked man.

Mini-B., ex-Mrs.-T-B., and the Rojo finally showed up during the Many'rd inning, delays and long walk man.

Mini-B. had an "endless" popcorn bucket that cost $Many, share popcorn we and wee man man.

Lady behind us got hit in mouth by scorched foul ball, bleeding mouth man.

Game sucked until home team tied score in Many'th inning, finally some excitement man.

We left during the Many'th inning, getting late and needed to beat traffic man.

Drive back was as easy as the trip in was not, straightforward and without delays man.

Got Mini-B. embedded only an hour later than usual, exhausted wee man man.

We conclude that one must be a damned $Many,000,000-aire to afford ball games, why even bother man.

However, Mini-B. said that he would do the experience again, so that part was worth it man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.
