Wave Without A Shore

Clean bill. I thought it was 120,000 miles. Actually it's 130,000. I also checked out the head gasket problem...a nice spendy item that was an issue in models prior to 2004, and we are a 2004. Yay!. The 2004's and '5's have a catalytic converter issue that can flare...

There's a tiny bit of onion in the Atkins recipes, and that causes water retention, especially for us. We've been struggling with attitude and 'where's the pony' thoughts regarding slow progress, and also getting a shade weary of the same 3 meals since March, lunch...

We've been dry for a while, and we're headed into July and August when we have more heat and less water. Jane set my fig bush out yesterday: it's liking the weather: so are all our new and transplanted trees, except the Harry Lauder's Walkingstick isn't looking so...

In Oklahoma most any gas station can do it. In Washington, in Spokane, there are 2 state-run inspection operations, and the addy listed on the internet is wrong...it lists it as 930 N Hamilton, but that's Gonzaga U. It's actually hidden by the buildings on the other...

I have a bad habit of not drinking water. Yesterday, within a matter of hours I... ...decided to make coffee, removed and dumped the grounds basket, left the holder in place above the tank (it's a lever-pour tank system: Cuisinart)--- ...poured in water. Check....

...and we did get the real 'emergency' things done. Though I do see Jane patrolling the garden out there, possibly with work in mind. Naw. She's dressed in a clean new shirt, which is not what you do to go wrestle the garden. I do need to get out there and wash the...

Mine: blueberry waffles with pecans and maple syrup, a side and endless supply of crispy pepper bacon, an endless supply of orange juice, and a bottomless pot of coffee... And a happy Father's Day to all you who are fathers---or the sons and daughters of same.

She'd forgotten. I had an apprehension it might be gruesome. It was gruesome. It was shopping cart gridlock near the free food handouts, which were in the main aisles. I got the requisite broccoli, succumbed to a food sample [smoked salmon and jalapeno cheese: I got...

Fast-Growing Tree, online, just delivered us, via truck, two well-grown, healthy trees, each about 4' high, and cleverly packed. Jane was somewhat lamenting having ordered the Japanese maple, which was pricey, when some 20.00 maples came it at Lowes. OTOH, this tree...
