Good 60.9º very cloudy morning. Last night was the super moon
and my friend Cathy (LASD ret) took this one from So. Cal... we had too many
clouds to see it!
Got this from Roy Riffle (LASD ret)..... You have seen these
wingsuit skydivers... this one meets his Maker in Rio (nothing gruesome in the
video) Pretty amazing what they can/can't do!

Ok, so this amusing story came from Gator in Florida (USN
ret.) Thought you'd get a kick out of this, Bri!
During her
physical examination, a doctor asked a middle-aged woman about her physical
activity level.
The woman said
she spent 3 days a week, every week in the outdoors.
"Well, yesterday
afternoon was typical;
I took a five
hour walk about 7 miles through some pretty rough terrain.
I waded along the
edge of a lake.
I pushed my way
through 2 miles of brambles.
I got sand in my
shoes and my eyes. I barely avoided stepping on a snake.
I climbed several
rocky hills.
I went to the
bathroom behind some big trees.
I ran away from
an irate mother bear and then ran away from one angry bull
elk.
The mental stress
of it all left me shattered.
At the end of it
all I drank a scotch and three glasses of wine."
Amazed by the
story, the doctor said, "You must be one hell of an outdoor
woman!"
"No," the woman
replied, "I'm just a really, really shitty golfer".

I went back to take a shower and saw momma deer laying in the
shade in the backyard. She had her fawn with her. I tried to get photos (golf
cart in way) without scaring them through the bathroom window! Momma found some
leaves under the creek bridge she found tasty....
Baby had to check it out too.....
In the afternoon I went to Safeway for a few items and then to
Jennifer's for a glass (or two) of wine. Sat on her porch and watched Mike
barbecue. We saw the jet boats go by. She lives right on the Rogue. But, it was
hot! 100º and muggy. ICK. Come on Fall!!!!!
Today is the anniversary of Patty and Cliff's son Chuck and his bride Linda. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY kids!!!
And... today is also the birthday of the bride of Bruce (LASD ret), Gail Harris! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAIL!!!

Dinner was another one of my kooky put-togethers. First I
started with a lemon cucumber martini. These cukes Jeannie grew and was not all
that happy with them. They are very prickly on the skin so have to be scrubbed
well and the flavor is more or less flat. I used citrus vodka and it still
lacked that big cucumber punch! Oh well... gotta try!
Then for the dinner... a box of chipotle pasta salad mix
(Archer Farms from Target), Costco canned chicken, canned sliced mushrooms,
pigeon peas, and from Jeannie and Bill a black bell pepper, tomatoes, and a
zucchini.....
Cook the pasta, let drain, cool with water, and let drain
until ready to use... In the pan goes the zucchini and bell pepper with olive
oil and sauteéd until slightly browned ...
Then add in everything else and heat through....
In the pasta box is a dry chipotle spice mixture and you mix
that with mayonnaise.. added that in and stirred well. Heat.
Serve....
REALLY good. Loved the chipotle flavor.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.
