Lost And Found Parking Garage

Posted on by

I heard a funny (kinda) story this morning on the BBC. I looked it up and found the article HERE. A woman parked her car in Washington DC, took a picture (above) to remember, but couldn’t find the parking garage after her and her daughters appointment.

Finally, she had no choice but to give up and head home, carless.

she posted her dilemma on social media and people all over began searching for her car. Finally it was found, with the finder posting a selfie with the car.

I had a similar situation at a concert in Baltimore. We lost our driver. I found the right parking garage and empty parking spot, but no driver or car. I had to call my father who drove an hour from DC and pick me and two drunk girls up.

Everyone was drinking 151, except me, I was drinking beer, luckily. My date was puking in the bathroom, the drivers date seemed relatively ok, and was giving me a play by play about the happenings in the ladies room. My father picked us up at a bus station.

What a night! Ted Nugent and Starz.

We might be getting some rain…

Have a wonderful day!

Happy day to you.

The image below was on Twitter, it struck me and I liked it so I saved the image. And posted it here.

if you’re on Twitter, let me know so I can follow you.

Its Wednesday. Ready for the weekend. Didn’t dive last weekend and want to bad right now.

This morning was clear but there was a huge cloudbank coming from the east. A while ago I heard thunder. It’s been threatening rain for a couple weeks and not delivering. Some rain would be nice. If it’s going to be freaking cloudy, then rain. If it’s not going to rain, then be sunny dammit . That’s what I think. This has been going on for weeks. Clouds and no rain. I’m putting my foot down.

Have a good day.

Jury Duty

Posted on by

Yesterday I was informed that I have jury duty for months starting in July. I’m not thrilled. It won’t be every day, just “on call” to be selected.

Last time I had jury duty, I was in the US and I was a long haired hippie doper I only got picked once. Now I will be their leader, I’m sure I will be asked to be a judge before it’s over

i don’t wanna do it.

Anyway, hump day today. Have a good one.

The Ten Dollar Olive

Posted on by

Last night I bought a jar of olives. It was over $8 CI dollars which is over $10 US dollars. I came home, opened the jar and ate exactly one olive. I turned and noticed something had fallen into the sink. I turned back and saw a bug swimming in the liquid in the jar of olives. I tried to fish it out with the fork I was holding, but he went under. A second later, the bug popped to the surface and began swimming again. I successfully fished it out where it promptly died.

After some thought, I decided to dump the olives. I couldn’t have eaten them without thinking about that bug swimming in them. I wonder, if somehow, that bug was in there alive all the way from the manufacturer. It doesn’t seem possible but I hadn’t noticed any flies or anything around my kitchen, and I only looked away for a second. Did I see it pop to the surface and start swimming when I looked back from the sink? Did it actually dive under when I tried to fish it out with the fork? Or did I push it under? Was it a housefly or some kind of water bug?

I really like those expensive good olives, and was quite disappointed. However, I feel like I made the right decision by throwing them away.

And there you have it. My post for the day. Have a pleasant day.

Good Stuff: Simple Green

Posted on by

Back when I was actively teaching scuba in Virginia Beach, and working on diving equipment, we could only use Simple Green to O2 clean the inside of scuba tanks and dive gear. (Petroleum product contamination is a fire hazard under high concentrations of oxygen)

So, just the other month, I saw some and picked up a gallon to use as dishwashing soap. Since then, I’ve been using it everywhere. I put a little in a gallon of water for windshield washer fluid, great! I put it in my hand soap dispenser in my bathroom, seems fine for washing hands.

I bought a gallon, thinking it would last for ever, and already I’m getting ready to need more.

Try it, you’ll like it!

This is from my list of emergency post topics.

Have a happy hump day!

Seen It All Now

Posted on by

Most of you know I don’t drink and that I go to meetings. Last night I was at my meeting, and a guy shows up smelling of booze. Then he went into the bathroom. Then another smell started and it wasn’t a bathroom smell. Turns out he was smoking crack in the bathroom of an AA meeting. The manager of the establishment removed him from the property.

I’ve seen everything now. The audacity, no matter how wasted one is.

What if somehow the police showed up, and there’s crack smoking going on at a meeting? The damage could be quite severe for the program.

Unbelievable.

I could say “But for the grace of God, there go I”, but in this case, I can’t.

phuck!

Like A Crazy Person….

I spent my yesterday afternoon digging up my yard to see how the conduit for my internet cable was.

i almost bought this roto rooter thing to try to cleat the pipes, but didn’t.

I

i may go back and get it today. Right now, my internet cables are all jury rigged, running down the utility pole and across the yard. The phone company would leave it like that if I let ’em! I won’t.

It’s almost Friday.

Doublepaint.

Posted on by

I walk the dogs in the mornings and turn around at a spot I call Doublepaint. It’s at a “T” junction where I guess the paint machine put down some extra thick paint.

i took the pictures this morning, then had an inkling that I had posted about it before. And I have. But it’s interesting (only to me probably) to see the difference between then and now.

Tomorrow is Friday! The weather is supposed to turn crappy, but I don’t care, I can’t dive this weekend because of my tooth, or lack thereof.

I’m reading a weird book that maybe I will post about tomorrow.

Have a fantabulous day!
