One less on the TiVo

 Last November 4, I recorded National Lampoon's Animal House.  Tonight, I finished watching it.  Now, the oldest thing I haven't started to watch yet is Fargo, from March 21.  I've seen about a half-hour of Atlantic City, recorded in February.

The little black pooshka, keeping watch

 

It's not as if nothing has happened over the past three days.  I even took some notes one afternoon, but seeing the pooshka sitting on the railing of the deck was the first time in awhile that I felt there was something worth posting.

Sunday post

Slept well.  Got up, gave Nelson a brushie.

Signed on to work laptop and found 40 emails from Friday's day off.  Handled a few of them, filed a few more.  It'll make tomorrow morning a little easier.

Bowl of cereal, grapefruit juice and seltzer

Raked up twigs and branches dislodged during tropical storm.  Jerry next door volunteered to take them away.

problem with refrigerator.  changed filter and the water dispenser stopped working.  took out the filter and it worked again.  put in a different filter and it stopped working again.

Indomitable, part 2

 

A resident chipmunk's hole was covered and filled in by the landscapers, but then they left and the chippie went back to work reclaiming its little bit of property.

PTO

 Personal Time Off from work today.  I can't say I'm out of the office, because I haven't been in the office since June 2019.  I go with "offline."  

So how have I spent that free time?  Took the Toyota back to Krause for the no-charge 24-month maintenance, with just over 9,000 miles on it.  Took a dump and took that to the UPS store along with the rest of the Cologuard paraphernalia.  Then back home, put on the headphones and took a nap through some World War II radio, and a chapter of Tom Sharpe's Blott on the Landscape.

In about an hour, it'll be time to pre-heat the oven and prepare pizza for supper.  A good day off with pay.

Indomitable


The weeds were pulled, covered and smothered, and yet they return.  How dare they?

Happy #WorldAntDay!


I just happened to have taken a suitable picture at Eagle Point farm market this past weekend.  Bless 'em all.
