A left-handed compliment
We’ve been trying to walk every day since the weather broke.
We’ve walked every day this month, and today we walked a total of 4.5 miles.
I had to do something, my fat ass creeped up to 260 again
Fortunately we found a dog park, off an improved walking path, in which to park
The first time we walked this path we parked in a shopping center at one end. Evidently the shopping Centre doesn’t appreciate that and issued me a $55.00 ticket.
Not a real citation, one from the company that manages the parking. I could get towed or booted if I park on one of their properties again, if I don’t pay.
Yeah…
Right…
They don’t make a ‘Denver Boot’ that big, and you’d need a tractor trailer to tow the Dude. Not that I’ll use any of your lots again purposely.
Yesterday, as we returned to dog park from our walk, I hit the men’s room.
On my way back to the where the truck was parked, I walked by a group of 7-8 city or county maintenance men. Thier white work trucks with the seal, backed in, parked in a row. They appeared to be just finishing the loading up of tools and were bullshiting, when one noticed me.
He turned to the other gentleman and said
“That’s what I’m going to look like when I get ‘old’!”
I must be getting soft.
There was a time when I would have quipped
“Who you calling old motherfucker?!?”
Please use the term media cave, - I hate the phrase man cave - it’s reductive and derogatory. As Sebastian Maniscalco said “my father had a man cave it was the house”
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Great visit with new friends”
A wonderful time with two citizens of ‘Shillueville’, @CBMichael @JoeBlueHouse and Joes lovely wife Lisa.
Our next time through we will definitely plan a longer visit!
“Ensconsed on Lake Manawa”
Near Council Bluffs IA.
We are right on the lake.
I had an audience backing in our spot.
I usually do, I’ve been backing up trailers in general for 30+ years and The Big Blue Beast for almost 9, so I’ve had a little practice.
The hardest part of our spring move to Montana is backing out of our winter quarters. Which has a curvy driveway, with lots of trees.
“I’m going to”
“Kansas City
Kansas City, here I come
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City, here I come
They got some crazy
Little women there
And I'm gonna get me one.”
———
First of all, we are going around Kansas City, and I’ve already got a crazy little woman…
She’s crazy because not only did she ‘pick me’, but she’s stayed with me for almost 47 years.
We are now headed to the IA state park, Lake Manawa, in Council Bluffs,and we are to meet @CBMichael for supper.
My lovely Navigator extraordinaire found the state park. It has a site on a lake with full hookups for only $26.00.
Short day today only about 5 1/2 hours of driving. It’s stressful pulling the Big Blue Beast through metro areas with construction and ‘Jersey barriers’ right on the line with no shoulders.
Last night, my formerly expansive derrière was worn out, and I went to bed at 21:00 after almost falling asleep in my chair.
