Lazy day

My wife asked me to go with her and get jabbed with the new covid vaccine so yesterday, we went and got jabbed. I also opted to get a flu shot because I've had the flu and I'll do anything to avoid having it again.

Problem is the vaccines kinda wipe us out so today was a lazy day. We got the housework done but that was about it.

As for the other side effects, I got both shots in the same arm so I only had one sore arm. The soreness was gone by noon but last night it was nice to be able to sleep on one of my sides.

So that is done until they announce the next round in another year.

And you know what? I'll go get that one too. I'll go every year if they recommend it.

The Red Sox lost their fourth game in a row last night when they got beat by the Orioles 3-2.

The Orioles are in contention for a wildcard slot since they are only four games behind the Mariners. If they keep winning, there is a very good chance they will overtake the Mariners and grab the third wildcard slot.

They are back at it again this afternoon with first pitch at 5:00pm.

Time for a list of some things that are in my brain:

Trump is still ranting about how terrible it is that the DoJ carted off all the top secret documents he was keeping in his scrapbook at his rich-people day-care center.

The queen is still dead.

The Artemis 1 / SLS is still sitting on launch pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center.

The economy still sucks and no one is talking about what they can do to fix it.

Just another day in paradise...

I'm going to watch some baseball and cook up a mess of pinwheel steaks.

While I do that, you can visit these links:

• What worries me about this is what Putin will do next. He's kinda psycho and I won't be surprised if he decides to try out one of them little nukes he has



• Oh sure. All of a sudden everyone wants a HIMARS.

The lawn is mowed

Well, what little of my yard that actually has grass on it has been mowed.

As I said to Pat, it looks like it's making a come back. After I mowed, I watered it for about 10 minutes.

I'm going to try and water every day that it doesn't rain for 10 minutes. I figure that where the grass is still alive, getting it wet will help it grow. It will also begin to show me the spots that are completely dead. In a week or two, I'll scratch those spots and put some seed down.

One of these days, I might just look into installing a sprinkler system. Until then, I'll just deal with a brown lawn every summer.

Here are some links you can enjoy

• I'm going to be very curious to see if they identify the leaker.



• I know some asses that aren't very tame.



• I have no words to say about this.



• I can only imagine what my insurance agent would say about this.



• Other than that, I'm sure it was a lovely affair.

They can't lose tonight

The Red Sox are off tonight so they can't possibly lose.

After getting swept by the Rays, they are on their way to Baltimore where tomorrow they start a three-game series against the Orioles.

Hopefully they do better against the Orioles than they did against the Rays.

The NFL season kicks off this weekend and the Patriots are in Miami to start their season against the Dolphins at 1:00 on Sunday.

I'm assuming Belichick hasn't completely lost his mind and he will start Jones because in all honesty, their offensive line isn't all that good so they need their best QB in the pocket.

I actually have high hopes for the Patriots this season and I'm looking forward to Sunday.

This afternoon, I went to the Vets house and showed her how to use her lawnmower. I showed her how to check the oil, how to put gas in it, how to start it and how to make it go.

I didn't do any of those things, I just showed her what she needed to do and she did it.

When I left her, she was happily mowing her lawn.

About 15 minutes after I left, I got the following text:

She is the proud and happy homeowner.

While I figure out what I will do to entertain myself this evening, you can visit these links:

• I have a feeling that much like when Michael Jackson died, we will be hearing about this for the next two years.



• Smuggled Donkey Penises would be a fantastic name for a 1990s country/techno fusion band.



• Meet the new "Corn-bassador".



• If you would like to be entertained, this will entertain you.



• We don't pay cops enough.



• Only in Florida.

The rain actually helped

On the left is a picture I took on Friday. One the right is a picture I took this morning.

The grass is greener on the right because the sun was behind my in the morning but look closely and you will see that not only is it greener, there is more of it.

Who knows, maybe I'll have a lawn at some point.

Time for baseball.

Here are some links:

• This sounds pretty bad to me.



• This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs.



• This woman has a huge pair of balls.



• No thanks, I'll stick with the whirly-blades version.

Let's try this again

Let me see if I can make up for my forgetfullness last night and offer you some enlightenment/entertainment this evening.

I went to vote today and I have a piece of advice for you:

Never go to the high school to vote when the high school is letting out at 2:15. Also, don't go over at 7:00 in the morning when students are arriving or at 4:00 when after school activities are ending.

Go over at 10:00. That's the best time to go. All other times suck

It's not the students driving around that is the problem, it's the parents who are there to pick their kids up that are the problem.

Despite the fact these people possess enough knowledge to get a drivers license, almost none of them know how to read signs or follow directions.

This is what I get for not going over at 10:00 like I usually do.

I had my quarterly meeting with my finance guy this morning and we came to the decision that if the Fed would simply do what they are doing and stop talking about it, the economy would be far better off. It's not that they are raising interest rates that is messing with the markets, it is that they are talking about raising interest rates that are messing with the markets.

For the record, I like my finance guy and he is not the reason I'll never be able to retire. As a matter of fact, he is the reason I will be able to retire when I am ready to retire.

For what seems like the first time this year, we got a full day of rain today and I swear I heard my lawn breath a sigh of relief.

Here is a picture of my lawn breathing a sigh of relief:

Guess I should probably throw some seed down on the dead spots so hopefully I'll have a lawn next year.

I'm going eat some dinner and the I'm going to watch some baseball.

You can do whatever you want.

If clicking links is what you want, here are some for you to click on:

• There was a time in this country when kidnapping was a capital offense. How was this guy able to do it twice? Why wasn't he executed after the first time?



• Remember when Trump got all fired up and started raging about election fraud in Georgia? Guess he was right...



• This is a good move. Now they just need to lock up Bogaerts and Devers for the rest of their playing days.



• Key entry from our favorite police log: "8:56 p.m. A young child who had just learned how to call 911 at daycare thought it would be humorous to test it out at home."



• What is it with scientists and cockroaches? Don't they have other insects that they can experiment with?



• Beaver Anal-Gland Whiskey? Who the hell thought that sounded like a good idea?
