Sky ~ Radar ~ Bruiser ~ Eggs ~ Dude/UPSDave ~ Bad Lip Reading ~ Chinese Money ~ LLBean Scuffs ~ Cat Door ~ Wild Alaskan Smoked Salmon Chowder ~ Moon


Good 61ยบ some clouds and smokey (duh) morning.
 
Yesterday morning was beautiful... clear sky, clouds. No smoke!

By 2pm the valley was so filled with smoke you couldn't even see my mountain! It gagged you to go outside! Bruiser stayed in! As I said before, unusual for him.
The prediction is for a "chance" of rain today/tonight/Saturday. There is a bit of radar. Praying for the rain!

 
After I finish my blog in the morning it's time to feed Bruiser and Dude. After they eat Dude wants to go out and visit the trees in the back. Bruiser waited patiently for his return in the bed of my golf cart!

 
 Yesterday for breakfast I had a chicken thigh, shook on a little garlic salt, some lettuce and tomatoes with ranch dressing, topped with 2 scrambled eggs... mixed with sriracha mayo and cooked for 1 minute 10 seconds in Egg-Tastic.... (www.eggtastic.com)
                                     OMGOOOOOD!!!
 
I said something to Dude about UPS coming today and maybe his 'dad' will be the driver. So, Dude goes out and keeps an eye on the gate!


OH LOOK! It's dad!

Dude got 3 dog cookies from his 'dad' Dave and I got my movies and magnesium!

 
LOL I want one of these!

This is hilarious. Found a number of these "bad lip reading" with the NFL on youtube. (Hi my Tommy!)
 
When I was at the post office the other day, Cindy gave me this:

Interesting! Small too... only 1¾" x 5".
 
I ordered some new 'scuffs' yesterday from LLBean. Love their indoor/outdoor sole. These are cute... dog and cat!

 
 
OMG, this is histerical.. a man spends hours installing a cat door. The cat is unimpressed. 40 second video:
 
Dinner was Smoked Salmon Chowder:

Chowder made by Ivars: http://www.ivarschowder.com/ I got it at Rays in RR in the meat department. REALLY good!!!!! Go to their site and click on "where to buy" and it lists markets in all the western states. (Even at Costco in Illinios, Greg!)
 
 
Then chair, wine, and a Hallmark movie! Well, NOT. I can't get my DVR to work! DANG. What a pain. I tried everything. Maybe I need a new one. So, I watched Blue Bloods. Sigh....................
 
I looked out about 8pm and the moon was BIG and bright hiding back behind all that smoke:

 
 
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TGIF. Ciao.

Race Your Mouse Day is today.

So, rev up your mouse, and let the race begin.
 
But, wait a second... what kind of mouse are we talking about? Is it the computer mouse, and we're supposed to race it around the mouse pad?
 
Well, the folks at Wellcat.com, who created this day, want you to race your mouse around the icons on your screen. They suggest you do so while waiting for "whatever it is you're waiting for to come up on the screen".
 

Let the race begin............Happy Race Your Mouse Day!!

Historically this date...
2003 – Mars makes its closest approach to Earth in nearly 60,000 years, passing 34,646,418 miles (55,758,005 km) distant.

.... so when someone sends you an email saying Mars will be the closest to earth in August or whenever, it's just an old email that keeps circulating. It's already happened!

If you insist on forwarding emails that sound too good to be true, or spectacular, or whatever, please check them out with  www.snopes.com or www.truthorfiction.com before sending it on. AND.... please if you don't cut and paste and only 'forward' then clean up your emails and take off all the other email addresses. Thanks so much.

I saw this video...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttjhOZjL59w on how to resurrect a banana when it's turning black. So, I tried it. All it did was slightly lighten the dark banana skin, but not much.
 
Looked out back and here was Mr. Buck enjoying the deer block...

 
Yesterday was errand day. Trip to Grants Pass to my yearly eye doc appointment with Dr. Jeffery Pelson at the Eye Care Group on NW 6th St.


I highly recommend this excellent doctor! Besides, a former Eagle Scout and served in the US Navy! Super nice, daddy of 4!
I ordered new frames. My glasses upgraded a tad for distance. Said the eyes both look good and no problems.
 
Then to renew driver's license at DMV.


Surprised me, new building, nice, and the time spent there was only 45 minutes! Filled out the form, showed them my birth certificate (careful... it's an ancient document!) and took the eye test. Passed 100%.  Had picture taken, was given a temporary license, and was on my way!
 
A stop at Staples
for some mailing labels, business card blanks, and business size envelopes.
 
A stop at the Kitchen Company 
for some enchiladas Jennifer made and wanted to share. 
 
Then Ray's for chicken thighs to cook for Dude.
When I got home I unloaded the car, put the groceries away, made a lemon drop martini on the rocks and devoured the enchilada Jennifer had given me! OMGOOOOOD. She made it with corn, egg plant, chicken, and other stuff. Going to have to get her recipe! (PLEASE Jen!!!!)
 
Then it was pjs, wine, a great Hallmark movie (natch!), 'A Novel Romance'.  http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/a-novel-romance

 
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TBT. Ciao.
