What are you doing today?

Today, as in > 6p EST yesterday ...

Went to a middle school event, end of the year awards sort of thing, out little G scored a few (academic, theater, including honor role which was the bulk of the folks there). We went out for some eats afterwards, one of our fave local places who has the most amazing onion rings, seriously, they're the best I've had vs. all over the country, and these were like extra amazing this time because the order (and the rings themselves) were HUGE :D

And today in the parking lot of the grocery store (our second trip today, don't ask, this car, hahahaha :D

I almost left them a duck :ROFLMAO:
 
Feel like I’ve spent the day moving stuff around the house as we has some finishing off of the floor tiles done etc. got most of the stuff back where it should be.

Early start in the morning as I’ve got my appointment to collect the new (to me) car at 9. It’s 2 hours away, so I’ll need to be out by 7.
 
I set up a wireless security camera out by the garage yesterday due to all the weirdos running around the neighborhood.

A couple hours ago, I got a notification saying that motion was detected, so I went to check it out. I didn't see anything out there, but...

... I dunno if it's scary, or hilarious, but the mic picked up this weird noise, and I have NO idea what it could be. It sounds like someone going "bllllbbllllblllblub" right into the mic, but there's no way anyone could get that close to the camera without a ladder. Maybe it's a bug or something. I dunno.

I'll upload the video tomorrow.

sorry about that. It just seemed like a fun thing to do when I saw the camera….🤭

Here I’ll be gardening. Didn’t do any yesterday after collecting the new car. The warmer weather and rain are making the weeds grow like they are being fed fertiliser.

Get some of that Hybrid Solutions ceramic spray on that new car, it’ll make cleaning it so much easier and it’ll look clean longer [emoji1303]

Giving it a good detailing is on my list. But Mrs AFB had me on gardening this weekend. I think she’d prefer me not to talk about or do stuff to the car for a while. I do have some mudguards to fit later though.
 
I like to do a very specific type of work on the weekend (if at all :D), not the tedious "busy work" stuff, the really concentrated, complex analysis, the black box algorithms, it's not a lot of code by volume, but it tends to be the core of the solution - and I find the quieter (as in business email traffic) time, the no rush vibe, is often conducive to figuring these things out.

So I'm doing that, and enjoying a more "adult" variant of coffee :D And I'm going to clear out the nonsense on the shelves in the office, the credenza, the otto-bench (which now weighs 50 lbs, no idea what's in there ...)

Also the SUP was getting a little gross on the deck rack, so got some 120lb SS eyelets, used a couple of straps and it's nicely out of the way, high -n- dry in the garage (after getting X14'ed and pressure washed) :D

I KNEW IT WAS YOU! :mad:

But seriously, forks. Here's the video. Maybe you all can tell me what it is. My guess is that it's a gnat.

JFC!! Hahahaha, that scared the hell out of me :ROFLMAO:

Sounds like a cat/dog/coyote, or maybe some kind of bird?

Or maybe this ...

They come for your Mexican Pizzas ...


Hmm, maybe it was a Chupa-Cerda. o_O

I went for a Mexican pizza yesterday, and you know what? They were out of beans, so they couldn't make them. HOW DOES TACO BELL RUN OUT OF BEANS?

But yeah, this does seem sorta like a Cerda situation. It's only a matter of time before the marriage proposals and green card requests begin...

I walked by a McDonald’s one time with a sign in the window: “Sorry, we are out of beef.”

🙀

when i was a teenager, in order to score a parking permit at the high school, I worked at the mcdonalds in Woodbury commons which was across the road from the school. I had the permit in hand so I didn’t need the job anymore, but I wanted to finish out the summer since I enjoyed working with my friends. I mostly worked the register and handled fries and taking apart and cleaning the shake machine. I was also in charge of programming the punch clock and the registers, since nobody else seemed to understand how. I never made a burger or anything else in the back.

Anyway, one day, the assistant manager made me work 8 hours without a break. I drove over to the burger king across town, in uniform, and bought a bag full of whopper jr’s. Then I drove back to McDonald’s, stood in the common area outside the McDonald’s entrance, and offered everyone who came along a free whopper jr (again, still in my McDonald’s uniform).

That caused… quite a stir.

It was somehow not I that was fired.

Anyway…

I know exactly where that is. Used to spend a lot of time at Woodbury.

I was one of the original employees at that mcdonalds, since it opened just before my senior year in the high school across the street. Back then there weren’t very many restaurants in the place, and we were the only mcdonalds within a half hour drive, so that place was crowded as heck. I used to love walking across the ”food hall” to the book store at the end of my shift. Last time I was back, the whole place was unrecognizable.

I haven’t been back in 30 years. I know I wouldn’t recognize it.
