Gary spotted this yucca bloom on Maggie’s walk this morning.

It’s 50’s and raining here. Just wearing a light fleece and it’s a bit too warm! Supposed to change back to single digits by Sunday. Patriots game at home on Saturday night should be interesting weather. It’s going to be warm and rainy in the morning then drop into the teens by gametime.

Normally a Saturday night Pats playoff game on a 3 day weekend would be a fun night out for me at my local spot but alas, it is Princess birthday (15) and she has asked to have a few friends over for Chinese take out and to watch the game. So, I will be home playing chaperone trying to make the boys uncomfortable. I won’t even be able to watch the game on the big screen in the family room. Will be relegated to my room or the kitchen.

New He’sNotMyBoyfriend (NMBF)will be in attendance which should be hilariously awkward as they subconsciously lean away from each other every time I enter the room and I must try not to crack a smile at their teenagerness.

never did figure out what the orange was supposed to be. What else is there?

Fire and brimstone?

Another book from The Last Bookstore.

@Jon:

This book is far more complete but not as much fun or unique as the one on hold.

It's 25° and just got done snowing. Freezing rain underneath but I salted last night so it was a clean plow. Can't say that with the others. Didn't even bother going to plant, 1/8" sheet of ice around plant. We had local guy do it.

It is about noon and 71F here. Gary has finished vacuuming up all the leaves on the front porch and drive. Last night Gary salted his chicken dinner.

The first car - 1962 Ford Fairlane 500, 170 CID straight-six; we got it from my grandfather, and was our first "second car." I could do everything except drain the oil from under the hood without crawling underneath. This was taken a couple years before she was mine.

Very sharp looking if not very fast!

I "almost" feel guilty. 5:30 here and a balmy 79 with a breeze off the Atlantic. Short sleeves today and A/c. Could get used to this

@Gary A. We should have lived closer as kids. With with your Ford and my Dodge we could have drove the local constables completely insane. I was reminded recently by a former classmate of my notoriety for speed. In the rural area I grew up in there wasn't much to do for fun. I knew every road, lane, and field lane in a 10 mile radius. My idea of fun was out running the law, in a test of speed and wits. Truth be told I suspect they enjoyed the chase, because they knew me and my car and could have easily paid a visit the next day at my door, but then that would have been cheating.

Gary meet his high school/college GF by racing her. She was driving her parents Bonneville (400 cubic inches). Gary used to eat up 396 Chevelles/Malibu's for lunch. Yes, we'd have a ton of fun if we didn't kill ourselves.

Yeah I raced a lof females during that time myself - sometimes I got lucky and they let me catch them.

Gary's family had a similar year and model, 'cept it was powder blue.

Well, another week, another road trip. Unfortunately this one is for a funeral (brother-in-law); so off to Michigan, Tuesday, after work, and back home on Thursday.
