dive…

I didn’t realize I’d gone a week without logging. But that reflects the week.


I just got in from a store run, $115 worth. I’m good through turkey day, except maybe for the cinnamon cream cheese muffins (but I got snickerdoodles), so it’s a good thing. I expect a bank run to Navasota (plus Popeye’s). And probably an ice run. Otherwise, I’m hunkered down. I still have a few trips in from the truck before I’ve finished offloading. Pant pant.


I decided to skip TRD, but with all nights down in the 30s, so did most everyone else. I have to face the facts, we’re not as ornery as we used to be. We were good while we lasted.


Boston butts were on sale for 97¢/lb, so I got a 10 lb one to replace the recently polished off batch of pulled pork. I got shrimp and scallops for the next jambalaya and shrimp cocktail (happy Myka). Cornbread to go with the last of the beef stew (happy Myka) from September. Bread and spuds for sausage gravy that is coming up. Tuna and mac to replace what I used (happy Myka). Flautas. Kolaches. Tamales. I’m set for the long haul. No turkey this year,


I am over the Moderna bivalent. It was as close to nothing as side effects can get. Now to get the flu shot. I had a sore sinus this morning, which is what delayed my Navasota run. I got over it quickly. Another round of bugs trying too get the best of me and failing. Winter is coming on, and it has it’s adaptive issues. Sleeping a fair bit. All in all, hanging in.


Still no neighbor. I can play and sing all night. I still have voice issues, but not as badly. I can sing pretty well in practice, but belting it out fails somewhere in progress. Part of the reason I decided against TRD, the weather would wreck my cords. I’m working on it at a relaxed pace.


Been thinking about a bouzouki, but the ones I want have 30mm nuts, too tight for my fingers. I would love to find one that is in the 36-38mm range.


I got a new 3qt stainless pot with glass lid to replace the one I fried yesterday. I went to warm up some water for grease cutting, then walked off and promptly forgot about it. Being stainless, it survived. It still needs a little scouring for coloration, but I don’t see any fatigue. Still, I got a new one to replace it. The fried one will take on funky jobs like boiling eggs and warming water.


I have been letting up on the AI, just about saturated with it. Still logging in and voting, racking up freee credits, over 500 now, up from 320. I won a few of the challenges, but they’re not predictable as to scoring. The random assignment of images means that the judging standards vary. So I’m not entering as regularly as I was.
