I went to the Urologist and got another shot that will keep my testosterone at zero for another three months. Oh Joy!

Got home in time to keep my standing date with the vacuum cleaner, leaf blower and scrub brush for field day Friday.

... and I found my math error in my check book which puts me back in alignment with the bank. It is irritating when that happens and it bruises my self image as an engineer and math wizard. Well, a dose of ego busting helps most of us stay level.

In the Army 911, I preferred the 3.5 rocket launcher. You couldn’t miss the target... :unsure:
Seriously, I need to get to our range down here to put a few rounds through my fairly new 380.

Good idea. I don't rely on any auto until 250 rounds go through it without a burp.
I'm still waiting patiently for one of my Glocks to burp. I stopped counting after more than 18,000 rounds. I completely understand why 85% of Police Departments & the FBI are issued Glock.
 

I went to the grocery store and got some Cheese and tartar sauce for the fish I'll have for dinner tonight. I also got a really big box of Kleenex-I had to get that brand as the generic ones are so rough!

Did some laundry-clothes-put some things in storage here, rearranged things in my dining room and living room. Watered some of my plants and I'm going to be putting them in the back room soon for Winter as I'm thinking of keeping the front blinds closed this Winter when it's cold so the cold breezes keep to themselves.

Well, just talking to myself! Who else do I have to talk to...:whistle::confused:;)

One of the things I worry about is getting a shell hung up in the chamber. My old 38 special is just to heavy to carry concealed. My 380 fits in my pocket.

Really, I just wanted to see if anyone was paying attention :LOL: ...and I'm a lonely one, too, with this pandemic, isolating, and wanting to go out to a restaurant or anything but can't..I find myself wanting company but can't do that either...drat with these pandemic times, already...can't wait for the vaccine and then when we can look back and say "wow, what a horrendous experience we all had!":confused:;)😷🐸

That happens with underpowered ammo or a cheap gun. But, there are revolvers now made with modern materials that are much lighter than autos; such as the Ruger LCR.
 
I make a trip to Home Depot to pick up to items I ordered online. Parked in the #1 slot, clicked my phone information, and within 5 minutes a person was delivering my order to my car. No contact. Job done. Stopped by Ruler on the way home for a few items.... in and out, social distancing.

Cooked and canned chili soup and cooked butter for ghee. I will can the ghee tomorrow. Quite tasty.

Yes that's exactly how our DIY big box stores were allowing us to shop during lockdown... now our lockdown is lifted we've been back to shopping normally again ( aside from msaks etc)..as we did before , and I'm pleased about it, I hated all that waiting in the car business..
 
Today I will finish my laundry. I did not do the sheets and towels. I had a lot of laundry because I hadn't been feeling very good and got behind on it. So today changing the bedding and finishing the laundry.

Doing chores this morning so my afternoon is free. I might cover my air conditioner for winter and hope we have no more hot days. I had to run it the day before yesterday so not sure but if so, I will just uncover it again. That is why I don't want mine taken out. A lot of others have their air conditioners taken out for the cold weather. But I like it to stay in.
 
The most important thing I did yesterday was watch "Straight Outta Compton" - I'd borrowed it from the library it's due Monday. It's the story of the NWA rap group that included Dr. Dre and Ice Cube. It was rough to watch in parts, particularly because of the heavy-handed tactics of LAPD against young Black males, but anyone who lived in Los Angeles during the 80s & 90s would attest to the accuracy of those portrayals.

Not sure if anyone here is a rap fan (I'm not especially) but it also portrays Suge Knight (talk about a heavy-handed gangsta, Eek!) and the beginnings of Tupac, Snoop and other rap artists.

I frequently read books and watch movies like these to keep me Woke.
 
Today is huge. Clean house before the cleaning ladies come (very important).

Swim, flu shot, clean out car before son takes it over, practice piano, read excellent Eisenhower biography, watch UVA play Wake Forest on TV, beef stew with a nice Barolo for dinner.

Not sure if this will all happen or in what order but that is the plan.
 
Watching a variety of sport on tv...so far Rugby League from Australia and soon here,Rugby Union from NZ and later South Africa,Cycling from Italy.Skiing from Austria and i’ve recorded the World Half Marathon Championship.Should squeeze in some College Football later...
of course in a normal year i’d have been out supporting my rugby club but we are not allowed to play :(

Yeah, that's why I read biographies of people like Eisenhower, to keep me "Woke" in the other direction.

On the other hand, by not following NWA, I miss out on great lyrics like ""When we see yo' ass, we gon' cut yo' hair off and --- you with a broomstick." Who needs Cole Porter when you've got that?

We are on your team, and understand how this is affecting people. Rest assured that we are paying attention. In many ways, I think that you are one of the more durable personalities on the forum. This will all get resolved at some point, and while it will be different we will return to more satisfying lifestyles.

Cole Porter had a different kind of greatness. Each artist finds his/her own voice. NWA made social comments about the environment in which they grew up. If the NWA guys had grown up White and wealthy, as did Mr. Porter, I daresay their spin on life would have been dramatically different.
 
Whoo-wee! The weather changed drastically overnight! Went out to do shopping errands and had to find an actual (gasp) coat. I know for some of you, 57 degrees and a crisp blustery wind is *nada* but for us S. GA's, (this last week it's been in the 70's in the AM and up to mid 80's by afternoon), that's a big change! Anyway, I've cooked ahead today, thawing out chicken/vegetable soup to have with toasted rosemary/olive oil bread for lunch, reading a good book.... and I think I'm gonna go make me a cuppa Chai.
 
yep 53 degrees here today @CinnamonSugar , chill in the air so I had to go out wearing a jacket.. but when I was in the shops I was too warm.. acch.. hot jacket, mask and specs steaming up.. makes for a miserable time.

Had to drive to 3 towns today to get everything I wanted and requests from my daughter too.. bout the usual 3 week grocery stock up as well.. and hubs couldn't come with me so my back is killing me lifting all the heavy bags.

The boot of my car was playing up..couldn't get it to open , kept pressing the button, every which way I could, nope it wasn't having any of it..so I had to strap everything onto the back seat. Got home , whined to o/h about it, he went out to fetch the bags in, and opened the back door immediately...'how did you do that?'' I asked , amazed at how things always works for him and never for me... with the key, he said..

*duh* :rolleyes: why didn't I even think of that ?

I'm just under 5ft tall.
8ft ladder, standing on the 2nd step from the top, still have to stretch to reach top of the window.

When working in stores years ago, heights didn't bother me, used 10 and 12 foot ladders.
Must be chicken from my age........but......i do tend to be extra careful due to my knee replacements.......but i'm still chicken now.

Oh Micka please stay off that ladder! 🌹
