Have I ever mentioned how much my wife and daughter hate heat? They hate it….can’t tolerate it.
Have I mentioned that they arranged a trip next week for the 3 of us?
Where do you think these 2 heat intolerant people decided to go?
Go ahead…..guess.

Las Vegas

Middle of the f@&king desert in the middle of f@&king July.

Did I mention it was 120 degrees there Sunday?

Good times……
Ah god, good times.
stores and casinos coool

Been long day and week. Hubby had an ablation for his new Afib, where they thread up from femoral artery. Actually went great and he’s fine.
I was supposed to be getting a knee replacement Monday, but my 8.3 A1c is tooooo high. He said down to 7.5 before surgery.
so that’s been my last few days, but I’ll live. 🙄. Back to the bike at the gym like daily!

It’s taken me 20+ years to get my A1C down to 7.3.
Doc said she would like to see it at sub 6.0.
I thinks she was high. That’s all I can figure.

AND……
If you would ride a bike TO the gym you would be killing 2 stoned birds.
AND.. if you had a basket and cup holder on that bike you could stop at Dunkin’ and get a sugary coffee drink and a half dozen donuts for the trip home.

Unfortunately the gym is down a hill…looks huge to me. I’d never get back.

So does this mean you are a geek, or just that you knew geeks? Or am I wrong in assuming codex was actually supposed to say comdex?

As for Vegas, you know the old saying that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? My own observations tell me that saying is no longer true. It seems that what happens in Vegas eventually appears on the internet. It also seems that some of those things really should have stayed in Vegas. I've been scarred for life by haphazardly looking at some of the things that appear when you combine the word Vegas with the word strip while searching youtube. I mean, seriously, what kind of monster puts something like this on the internet? Have you ever seen anything less appetizing than this?

Dunkin has better looking donuts.

Ummm.. yeah…comdex. But I am a geek but not geeky enough to know what codex is so now I’m going to look it up.
One buffet while there so I’m going to watch that.

Vegas is hot but no worse than humid Omaha.
The cirque du soleil “O” show is very good.
The gambling gods hate me.
Supper at Ellis Island tonight. Local, off the strip and very good. The Wynn buffet tomorrow night. Self imposed fasting tomorrow and I’m tearing that shit up.
I miss Herk. I’m ready to go home.

Olympics in 10 days

I was just trying to find the bunco schedule
Bunco doesn't get the love it deserves. I think there needs to be a rule change of some sort. How about this: instead of passing the dice to the left when you fail to roll the required number, the other players have to play dodgeball. Last one standing gets the dice. I bet the Olympics would televise it then.

Cooking a lamb roast

Marinated it yesterday with rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic, paprika, pepper

In the oven at 4am on 100 proper degrees. So dinner time it should be good

BTW, hawkie buy a mortar and pestle

I’ve been looking at molcojetes for a long time….just haven’t pulled the trigger.
I like the stone aspect of them over wood.

Why? What did you do with a mortar and pestle?

And yes. Mine is stone

Heavy basher. So it's quick

I bought mine in a little Asian owned discount store. I think

Mexican grocery not far from my house….they have quite a few. Looked at them many times. Really should buy one so I can quit smashing food with my framing hammer. The hammer works pretty good though.

It’s good to be home.
I missed my dog.
Vegas has become an expensive shithole.
Had some fun but doubt that I ever will feel the need to go back.
Only Cirque de Soleil is worth it.

Glad we got our butts home yesterday.
Airports suck when they are running like the well oiled machines that they really aren’t. And you just know that there is some karen(and ken) pounding on the counter up front demanding that they be miraculously transported over everybody else because of how important they and their plans are and how they are going to sue the airline, the check in people, the baggage dude if they aren’t appeased.
Airports suck.
Air travel sucks.
McDonald’s sucks.
Get off my lawn you damn whippersnappers.

I’ve got to mow also. Edging, trimming and mowing is a 3-4 hour adventure depending on if I bag or mulch. Thinking mulch cuz my butt is dragging. And since they’re talking rain for the next 2 days I’m prepping a rack of ribs to go on the smoker. If you were able to catch a flight I’d say come by for ribs later.

The waiting. To board, deplane and baggage claim.

However, my daughter has “companion” status and flies standby almost all the time. She just went to Korea to meet with some friends and her husband and my grandson went to Japan for a wave pool outing. All they paid for was the tax.
