After I got back from Kroger and I was out bringing the trash can in, the power must've gone out.

The stove clock was blinking, the TeeVee that I keep on the 39.5 local WX was off and my computer was off.
Chris' router didn't come back up, so I called United Healthcare about a Medicare supplement plan from shit they mailed me.
I turn 65 next week.

I'm getting a $0 plan for joining AARP. Not sure what good it's worth, but WTH?
I had to sign up with AARP for $79 for five years, but we'll see.

Aaron (American, that I could understand) was patient and helpful. Took forever on the phone. I should've started with a full glass of booze.

I'm sure I'll get my money's worth, $0.

It was simians in PJs day at the Georgetown Kroger today and nobody told me.
I would've waited for a shower and a shave until I got home, had I known.
And carried more firepower.
There was bonus points for impeding me, I'm sure.

I did learn something new, I think... Fresh produce and several other things like flowers and jalapeno peppers must come via the Strait of Hormuz.
I'll have to go out on a LRRP tomorrow or Saturday morning to get the shit I forgot or wasn't available and get Doc flowers.
There's two florists on the Coliseum route, one on the Maplecrest Extension route.

The orange/white barrels are blooming early, both roads are tango-uniform.
That's the only way across the Maumee River without a several mile departure.

Or Dr. Kimmy will just have to live with disappointment once again.
Her mafia muscle is leaning on me from an unpaid hospital bill from my misadventure with the ice 2Feb2026.

$6.81.

I'm sure Dakkie is involved. Damn digitbenders.

I only saw one with the obligatory fat white gal, but it was walmart and to be expected at any of their locations be warned.

I should take my phone upstairs before I start calling up my ex-wife asking to take her up the offer she made to me after she brought me home from my neighbor's wife's funeral.

I guess that was a one-time deal. She said no the last 37 times, maybe we're still married and the divorce didn't take.

I'll go back to testing Kimmy's vodka and mixers I bought today.

They've gotta be perfect.

I think your double post caused my 504 trying to get to latest comments

I let the post cook for a long time then hit submit or whatever, and it posted twice.

I thought that might be a clue or something.

I planted a row of 'Green Giant Arborvitaes' about 12' from the side of my hovel years ago to shade my house from the summer sun.
I think it was 9 for 40 feet to keep them from not getting too tall.
They've topped out a little too short.

I should've left one out. I do know some math.
Regardless, I'm needing an arborist again.

There's some other crap overlooking the wire to the west. My fence is getting beat up pretty good.
The county commissioners wanted to give me the properties, I told them, "No way, I can't afford it!"

I should probably sue the county about my cost and labor.

Send me your addy and I'll sue you instead. j/k

I think my little pizza-girl weekday date is a little narcissist. She looks like Kimmy upside, too thick down below...

I'm not allowed in Canada. I'm not gay.

Sounds like a traffic/load issue.  Delays like that usually are.

Kimmy texted me to go to bed. Probably good advice

the first few mowers I used all had wrap it yerselve starters with a coil that could be moved from G gas to K kerosine, had to retard the ignition on the kerosine. back in its hay day a guy if so inclined could torch a dozen barns with 25 cents of kerosine, the stuff now is $11+ for a quart.

You are turning 65? Wow! You are still a young man.

When I was 6 years-old, I thought 65 was old.

Now I think 70 is still young.

Curious about where you live.

Looked this up.

Great Lakes

Maumee River Ripe for Rediscovery

The Maumee River is on the brink of a recreational renaissance Sure, the massive river draining into Lake Erie just outside of Toledo, Ohio, has been on the map for centuries, serving agriculture, industry and early Native Americans. But lately this hard-working river has been showing its leisurely side.

With the largest watershed of any Great Lakes river (8,316 square miles), the Maumee officially begins at the confluence of the St. Joseph and St. Mary’s rivers in Fort Wayne, Indiana, draining all or part of 17 Ohio counties, two counties in Michigan, and five more in Indiana. That’s a lot of river to roam.
