zanthessSo..... shitty but good things have happened lately.
Bunny has started peeing outside his box, that means hormones are kicking in, and his pockets shall be picked in the next month.
Finally signed up to be a core member of the PFM derby practice group. Monthly dues instead of per practice, and much cheaper.
Had to drive to Seattle to get parts that were missing because GE's factory workers don't speak friggin' English. When I got there my car started making the same noise it made about a month ago when a tube fell off the engine. Had the hub come home to check it out. He took it to the dealership and they found another tube that had come loose. They hooked it up and sent him on his way.
On the way home my car started making whooshing noises and pouring out black smoke from the tailpipe.
Dammit.
Down to one car, and neither of use have the ability to take off work or work from home. So weird to be stuck somewhere without transportation.
Was able to get some aggression out on the skating floor at my first practice, and even pulled off some moves I never thought I could do. Strange how much easier rollerskating becomes when you're not in "don't want to fall" mode.
Other than that, headed down to the folk's tomorrow to cook salmon for my stepdad, and my Dad's famous marinated drumsticks. For over 10 years I've tried to remember what was in the marinade that made it so good, and discovered the secret: Maple Syrup. I have no clue why the brown sugar, or other sweet things I put in it don't work near as well.
Also going to try another fun fireworks project. Tin can rocket. Looks to me like it will be hours of fun blasting an empty can of green beans 50 ft. into the air.
Oh yeah. I got older a few weeks ago too. My back even went out on me ON my birthday just to remind me I'm old.
P.S. Happy 4th everyone. go blow shit up.
