Well I dreamt I was at your relatives house for a party last night. I can tell you, you have some wild relatives, real eccentrics 😂
 
Good morning. Off to work until 2 pm. Should be a busy half-day in the shop as tomorrow is Father's Day. We'll sell lots of steak today. I'm coming home after and fortifying a new gate we had built last year. The guy did a crappy job. I love spending good money to get something done, then having to go behind him and do it right. It is already sagging and the cane bolt into the ground is loose. I'll mix up a bit of cement and anchor the hole better. Line it all up once and for all. Should take at least three beers to get the job done right. Then, I might just have a steak of my own. I'll have to give the Webber a good cleaning first. She went up in flames last week when I used it.

kaneohegirlinaz - your comment about poking the healthy-eating bear made me laugh, because that’s how my mom would be:

“Oh, yah look hungry…here, have this li’l bit o’ somethin’ ‘fore yah faint right away!”
<hands me a bowl with five scoops of ice cream>
“Mom…you know I can’t eat that. You know the doc just diagnosed me diabetes, and what’s more…you know I don’t even like ice cream!”
“I s’pose…”
<Takes away ice cream…returns five minutes later with her largest mixing bowl filled to overflowing with potato chips/crisps>
“Well, yah jus’ got tah have somethin’! I can’t stand seein’ yah starved tah death like ‘at!”
“Mom! I! Can’t! Eat that!”
<Muttering to herself> “I don’ see why not. They’s hardly a single bite in ‘ere, barely enough for a chil’, let alone a grown man…”

:laugh:

Reminds me of the time I hired a general handyman to:

1. Replace a faulty light switch
2. Fix an outside pole light
3. Fix a broken doorbell

He looked at the switch, wiggled it, it sparked a little but came on, looked at the outside light, then looked at the doorbell (and when I say “looked” that’s all he did) and said:

“Well, yer light switch is workin’ an’ yer pole light, yah prob’ly jus’ need tah replace the sensor an’ I bet dollars tah doughnuts yah jus’ need tah replace the batt’ry. That’ll be…$125.”

:laugh:
 
The guy we hired last year was talking to my wife about leaving on the Friday afternoon for holidays. By Thursday he still hadn’t finished the fence. So he obviously hurried to get the fence done, build and install an double wooden gate all in one day so he could get paid. He was waiting in the driveway when we got home from work at 5. About two days later a board fell off onto the ground when I opened the gate. The latch stopped lining up within a couple of weeks. I noticed he only used two screws on each hinge which have 4 holes. Just shoddy workmanship. Never trust a guy who doesn’t even tie up his boots, I always say.
 
Making deviled eggs, 2 lbs of smoked shrimp, a tray of smoked macaroni and cheese, then octopus seared in a soy and rice wine vinegar reduction and sesame coated ahi tuna steaks with white rice and wasabi. It does sound like a hodge podge of food, but it will be eaten in stages, so not really too weird, lol. I'm gonna have DD bring some edamame.

You're almost in HI... 😁
 
Plans:
Kamehameha Day Parade in town
A visit to the King Kamehameha Statue downtown
Linner (that's late lunch/early dinner) at Zippy's near by
VERY EXCITED!!!
I've never been able to watch the parade myself, I was usually IN it, or working and couldn't go.

I think I remember last time kaneohegirlinaz was in Hawaii a dozen eggs was $12 or something. If we were in HI, we would be out beating the shrubs looking for eggs I reckon.

I found some opened eggs cutting the grass today but they definitely weren't chickens eggs. I think they were probably snake eggs.
