RAIN! ~ Poleeeece Comments ~ Crock*Pot Stuffed Cabbage Casserole ~ Bridal Fever

Good 63º fresh clean air some clouds morning! Rain. Heard it about 3:45am. Rain gauge says 3/4". YIPPPPEEEEEE

The sunset last night with all the smoke...

Breakfast...

Greek low fat plain yogurt, banana, fresh lemon juice drizzled over all. Lettuce, fresh lemon juice, garlic salt, chicken thigh.

 I have decided, without a doctor's analysis, that I have ACD! I do know a couple of people who have OCD. They are obsessive about a number of things. I am not obsessive, I have Acute Cooking Disorder! 

Yesterday didn't heat up as fast as is has been. By 11am it was only 79º. Prior to that I took Dude for a run down to the mailbox. He was a happy camper. By noon it was only 80º. Nice. By 2:30 the pressure was dropping, but less than 'chance' of rain at that time. It was 89º. I had been running around, packing stuff to get rid of, vacuuming, etc. Humidity inside was 43% and I was sweatin' like an old pig!

From my friend Karen B...

These are actual comments made by Cops that were taken off their car videos:     (or so it says) 

1. "You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through."

2. "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch after you wear them a while."

3. "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document." 

4. "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

5. "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you."

6. "You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?"

7. "Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?"

8. "Warning! You want a warning? O.K, I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."

9. "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"

10. "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey poop."

11. "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."

12. "In God we trust; all others we run through NCIC." ( National Crime Information Center )

13. "Just how big were those 'two beers' you say you had?"

14. "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can."

15. "I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail."

AND THE WINNER IS....

16.. "You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't. Sign here."

Lemon Juice Day

Lemon is one of my favorite flavors. Love it in my morning green tea, love to make a salad dressing with lemon juice and mayonnaise and seasonings.

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

Good 61º 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!

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!!
