I have never understood why people in hot climes buy black vehicles. Suburu, the car of the blue party 😜 So true. Suburu's are very popular in the Taos area with its liberal and progressive population. Once when I was debating a local conservative on FB he signed off by writing "Go polish your Suburu!". I had to laugh. THey are excellent cars and if I could afford to buy one I would. Black trucks and cars are abundant here because that is the correct color among younger people here. They all think they are bad arse. Part of machismo among the local population. Black is the most popular color in Texas too. I don't get it. The only black car I ever drove was my brother's 1970 Lincoln. It got washed every day. I like my red vehicles, but if I had to buy something else now it would be white or silver.

Had to go to Longview for a gastro appointment. I get to have a pancreas biopsy on the 5th. Whee! Something new for me! 😁 Had beef tips in mushroom gravy over garlic mashed potatoes for lunch. On a sad note, I knocked my Radice Rhodesian off the table and broke the tenon. I have ordered some black Super Glue from Amazon and hoping for the best. I suppose there's someone who can fix it with a Delron tenon. 😕

We went through several years raising kids and the silver models were always in budget… then several years in white….The wife’s Nitro, and Maxda CX-05 were white. The wife has remote start from the App, so she can cool down the car from far away. The cabs of our trucks are all white and they are roasters just a few mintes after parking in Arizona.

Today's harvest included just a few Roma tomatoes and a Cherokee Purple, Hungarian and banana peppers, a couple cukes, eggplants and green beans. Aside from picking vegetables, I mowed the lawn, fed my sourdough starter, cut up the peppers for the freezer, made a batch of jalapeño hot sauce and am working on the dough for a loaf of sourdough rye, which goes into the oven tomorrow morning. Not bad for a retired old guy.

Pancreas or pipe, John?😂 Prayers will be sent Ron for a negative on any possible pancreatic issues… as for your pipe, I would heartily recommend Walker Pipe Repair but the bum retired… good luck on your attempt. I have had more than my share of “oh crap” moments dropping pipes… it is never the basket pipes! Interesting article on Radice: www.alpascia.com/moments/en/detail/122/radice

Pinched nerve in my back since this morning. Dropped me to the floor around 6AM. Ice and Tylenol relieved it some. Two hours late to work. Got me a few more times today. Treatment this evening is Tylenol, ice and a couple of double Old Fashioneds. What can you do? Now you really won't lift more than 10 pounds. Definitely not. Today was pretty rough. I was good in the AM, but by lunch time the offending nerve was screaming at me again and the muscle cramping caused two new areas to start firing off. More ice and Tylenol tonight. Not in the mood for a cocktail. 😖

I thought you had retired for some reason. I see from your recent post that you just work work work all the time. 😁 You should be able to get a couple of hours off to go to the doctor if you get on your knees and beg with tears. 😉

I’ll have to beg from my chair. On a good note, the back is returning to normal and the surgeon is happy with my recovery as of yesterday. Two more weeks of light duty.

The garden seems to be taking a rest. Only 5 Roma tomatoes, some broccoli side shoots and a few banana peppers today. Maybe the cooler temps and decreasing decreasing amount of direct light are having an effect. Summer returns in earnest this weekend. Well see if the garden responds.

When I was a kid, I was stupid. I got the smallest shoes I could force my feet into because I didn't want to be singled out for big feet. I memorized the eye chart so I wouldn't be "4 eyes". I got over the shoe problem after 3 surgeries to remove ingrown toenails. I didn't get over the glasses thing until I was 18 and drove my Karmann Ghia over the concrete center of a cul-de-sac because I turned on the wrong street by mistake and I couldn't see it in my headlights.

I tried to get sketchers a while ago but I have short and wide feet like a 5.5 eeee so I always end up getting new balance in size 7 eeee as it's the easiest to find that fit good. As far as what's going on in my life I won 2nd place in a raffle from one of my tattoo artists. So I'm getting more work done on the 7th of September. Looking forward to it. It's funny as a kid my dad and uncles even my mom had tattoos but I was like man I'm never going to get tattooed flash toward to my 40s and I got almost 20 of them lol.

It's funny as a kid my dad and uncles even my mom had tattoos but I was like man I'm never going to get tattooed flash toward to my 40s and I got almost 20 of them lol. My grandmother told me that that my sea captain grandfather hated his. My uncle who was a boxer and wrestler had several and asked me not to get any. My mom, dad, 5 sisters and 2 brothers didn't have any. Most people I've talked to regretted getting them. I have seen a couple of beautiful women covered in colorful tattoos, very well done. One was tropical vines and flowers and the other was Disney, like the evil queen and Snow White. Gorgeous work on gorgeous women and I found it overall repulsive. Our family friend Mark Callaway who has won trophys for his extensive tattoos has mixed feelings about his sometimes and says they certainly aren't for everyone. I see a lot of women and girls around here and if it's anything more than a butterfly on the ankle they might as well have a giant wart on their nose to me. And the old women with the faded, sagging tattoos are sad. My feelings have gotten stronger since I have become an old fart. I don't care.

Told them I promised my father, Old Chief got pissed at them and said you boys should be a good son like this lad! My son who is a surgery tech in Houston does tattoo removal, mostely women!

My wife and I watched a livestream of our niece's graduation(?) from Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island this morning. She's now a PFC. She’s home for 10 days and then off to AIT.
