Good 54ยบ cloudy morning.
Today is Star Wars Day!!! MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU~
Today is a special day... firstly it's 5-4 but a special friend, Mike
Hannan (former RR Fire Chief) is celebrating today and his birthdate is 5-4-54
!!!! How cool is that! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE! We'll celebrate soon!
Mike was here yesterday and did a bunch of mowing....
Thanks Mike!!!!
Dude kept and eye on him...
Mike wanted to get a lot of the mowing done before the predicted rains
coming today. After he left it did rain for a little while. More expected today
with thunderstorms!
I surprised myself yesterday. I had just read an article on line about cost
of water and how to tell if your toilet is leaking. Plumber costs are high, and
I sort of thought I had a leak, strange noises occasionally and was getting
ready to call my plumber ... so the article said to add some food coloring to
the tank and if it shows up in the toilet bowl, you have a leak. Then it said
what to do with a screwdriver. I did what they said and hot diggity it
worked!!!!
These shared by Dave Clark (LASD ret) ... too funny!!

Later dinner was another concoction... I had some smoked salmon that Dave
(LASD ret) and Pam Clark gave me when they stopped in for a visit. (Thanks
guys!!)
So, I cooked a mixture of couscous, Basmati rice medley (Basmati rice, wild
rice, and mixed vegetables & herbs from Trader Joe's), Thai Red rice, and
long grain brown rice... I mixed them all together...
Two cups of the rice/couscous mix went in the rice cooker with water to
cover....
The salmon filet went into the steam rack over the rice...
Dished up... with mayonnaise on the fish....
OMGOOOOOD!!!!!
Then it was chair, wine, TV, and a couple phone calls from pals.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.
