Found out late last night that I'm a great-uncle now ... always have been, I told her. Lol Welcome to the club! Our fourth great-niece or nephew is on the way. Apparently, "couples baby shower" is now a thing as I am being dragged to one this Sunday for her or him.

We had a great evening out yesterday. We went to the Michigan State Univ. Library Donor Open House. We were pleasantly surprised to run into a friend and his SO at the event. Afterwards we headed into downtown East Lansing to revisit our mid-spent youth and had dinner at El Azteco. We ate many many times as students at this local Mexican mainstay. We mostly go there for the nostalgia as the food is good but not great; the quality varies based on how stoned the student cooks are. We first ate there in 1982. 😎

Changed the air filter in the furnace. My smart thermostat tells me it keeps shutting off before it should.
I ordered a blue light blocking screen for my desktop monitor, which arrived today. Unfortunately, it arrived without the mounting hardware, which seems to have fallen out of the box. So, I'm working on cobbling something together to hold the silly thing on. (Amazon won't send replacement hardware, just a replacement screen, which means I would have to send this one back and wait for the next one to arrive, which I do not want to do.)

I've let it go too long already.

I admit that I don't know most of the little bastids. Actually, I think I might have a great great great great nephew in Colorado.

I already wear glasses for astigmatism. If I wear just drugstore readers, I can't see past the end of my nose. It does look bigger, though.

I've let it go too long already. I admit that I am spoiled, I have 5 Amazon distribution facilities in my county, if a product is shipped from Amazon, the furthest away is Vegas, and that is overnight. I bought a Castleford reamer, used it twice in a years' time, the second time I used it, with no undue force the plastic handle snapped. It should be made of aluminum at the least. I was beyond the return policy time, so a new one was ordered, and it was shipped back with the broken handle, and a request for a refund. I received another product without all of the hardware upon receipt and ordered another one. I am not into calling the manufacturer and waiting for them to get their act straight. I hope that it all works out for you.

Went to the antique mall today with the wife. In one booth, the MM cobs heavily smoked were $45.00, Heavily smoked Grabows were $75, one diminutive GBD pre-historic $70. Had the floor worker get the key to the cabinet next door to that one, an unsmoked smallish turban head figural meer, $300.00. 5 minutes on Ebay could have informed the seller, but I reckon for the stall space they are paying for, they view it as their duty to be a custodian for future generations!

Watched LSU/Alabama game last night, thoughts, Bad Officateing, Bad Coaching on LSU side, LSU QUARTERBACK suffered a concussion hit that should of been called Targeting but wasn’t, he laid on the ground for a while, walked off on his own after stayed out for one play, Coach sent him back in, but you could see he shouldn’t have gone back in, SHAME ON YOU KELLY, boys health not worth the damn game! That’s my take I GARRONTE!
