I did that at home when I was driving for PAM Transport.

Very soon I will be in bed. Y'all have a good night and a better tomorrow!

Gary's ol' Crown Vic has a keypad on the driver's side door. Best thing ever.

Sadie is one happy puppy, she does love ice cream, especially a vanilla cone for DQ.

The first artichokes of the season and some freshly picked squash for dinner. BTW- The 28 hour Sous Vide pulled pork passed the Mary Lou test yesterday. Consequently, we're having it again tonight. Gary just came in from trimming a bunch of Flame and Concord grapes growing wild through trees and bushes. He also rotated the fire table so it would play better with the Tv. Hopefully we'll use that feature more with our daily browsing of the evening news & commentary programs.

@Peg: Tomorrow ... James Taylor.

Gary has read that ice cream in general, especially ice cream and/or cones made with sugar substitute, isn't good for dogs. Frozen yogurt was recommended as a substitute.

Miss Maggie has zonked out. This morning she played really hard ... with Max (the Goldie mix) and Michelle (a black standard poodle who runs like a deer). Then Max came over for more roughhousing.

I think they've just about ruled all the artificial sweeteners are harmful to dogs. We watch carefully for them. Over the years our fur babies have enjoyed the real thing vanilla in both ice cream and yogurt. As with all treats they do have limits on consumption.

Spent a few hours tonight cleaning up this Schwinn tricycle. It was mostly all there, but missing a few fasteners. A trip to the local hardware store solved that. Greased and adjusted everything to spin and turn freely. All of the fenders had dents. All the brackets holding them on were bent. Pounded that all straight. The tassels were missing on one side. Luckily there was 6 strips. Just split them in half. The bell didn't work right, so I replaced it. Added the mirror. Polished all the chrome, including the rims. Used ColorBack on all the red. Almost looks new. Should have taken a before picture.

100.00 new. Have less than 25.00 and some elbow grease into it. May be a cheapskate, but still spoil my Grandkids rotten. Going up to my son's place this weekend. There will be one happy 3 year old that can now chase his brothers around in style. Lol.

@RowdyRay Looks nice! Very good job on that restoration.

Mary Lou and Gary just finished dinner in the patio. This is the first patio dinner this year just for us. The artichokes were delightful. The weather perfect. For dessert Gary’s strawberry ice cream. Gary used a Ben & Jerry recipe but nearly doubled the strawberry content. Mary Lou and Gary have moved to the fire table, watching the news and sipping our Pinot Noir.

@RowdyRay That is one awesome ride!

You must have esp Gary. This past weekend while cleaning out my garage I found a huge bin of cd's - everything from Snoop Dog to Hole to Marc Cohn. We've been all digital for a long time now, from ipods to phones to Alexa/Amazon music... these babies were OLD. I gave most of them away on our local Facebook Buy Nothing page but I did keep about 10 for my car and of course JT was among them. Love my sweet baby James...

Have I told you guys about Grad Night? Grad Night is an event after our city's high school graduation that has turned one of the most dangerous night's for HS seniors into a safe and fun party. After the ceremony, most families go out to dinner or off to some local parties but the kids don't drink because they want to come to the Grad Night party at the school later that night. All seniors are brethalyzed on the way in and must be at the party by midnight. It's an all night event with casino games, a dj, magic show, food, bouncy things like Wipe Out or the sumu wrestling suits... everything from a baby farm animal petting zoo to a cash cube where they get in and grab at the money flying around. The night ends with breakfast served by some of the parents of the senior class. The whole thing is 100% free for the students to attend - all of the money is raised by the Grad Night committee from local businesses and personal donations from residents. Attendance rate is usually above 90%. It's a great event and I'm proud to be a part of it this year. I'm on the volunteers committee in charge of recruiting enough people to run the whole night and clean up afterwards. Tomorrow night is the big night. I'll be there from 8pm through 5am directing our volunteers and making sure things run smoothly (and have to be awake/alert for this ).

For high school graduation, Gary’s class spent the night at Disneyland.
