The Absolute Unit trundled by me at 4:30 this AM.

I wuz outside, enjoying the night air (72F) and lookin' at the stars and moon, puffing on my Volcano bag, and sipping decaf <-- (*sigh*) and here he comes, in his bloated magnificence.

Big tubber of a racketycoon. We had lamb for dinner, and I had put the fatty scraps out for the night creatchy-poos: possums, otters, raccoon (one only).

You only need one good size **** for a pot of sauce...
 
43F @ 86% RH, more rain and predicted to reach 50F.

A dental appointment late morning to adjust my upper plate, and a rainy day, so not much accomplished on projects other than I picked up the screws and drill bits that I needed and drilled the sheet metal flashing that I previously trimmed to fit, so that when things dry out, I can install it.

Several good dog walks and naps, and I got a call from the 44 yr old son of an old friend who has been dead more than twenty years. His father won out in our competition for the hand of his mother, but we all stayed good friends.

I learned that she suffers from alcohol induced dementia and is in a care home, where she hallucinates but is having a good time. It reminded me of dodged bullets and sad because she was such a happy free flower child spirit with enchanting eyes, a voluptuous body, pretty face, and a gusto for living, but did drink wine and beer heavily, and went from swimsuit model to obese the last time I saw her.

Their son said that he came to see me because she talks about me fondly and frequently as she regales him with tales of daring do white-water boating, sailing, and flying. I remember him as an undisciplined holy terror growing up, but he appears to be squared away and working as an aircraft mechanic. I can only imagine how the adults around me growing up described my childhood........................

Whew, finally able to sit down for a break. Got everything I could done today despite the rain. Planted marigolds in my new/old plant stand. Going to move it to my garden area after the rain. Transplanted my eggplants into 4” peat pots as they needed more room to grow till I can put them out in May. Updated my herb garden with 5 new plants As they were root bound and overgrown in my indoor garden. Looks kinda naked now but they will grow really quick. Planted the old ones in my flowerbed. They will love it outside. The inside ones love the window that gives them perfect sun when they seem to need it. Got silly monkey curtains I got from good will hung on two windows in my laundry room where I put the new tent. There was no need for privacy in that room till now. And…got the new light hung yay. It’s just like Christmas looking in that new tent with the new MarsHydro light.

Mongo impressed. You are one tough mutha.
 
You guys and your sunny skies and warm temps make me want to PUKE!!!
Just now cracked 36, windy, cold, and damp. No sun in sight, and rain on the way. At least most of the snow has melted away. Thank God for small favors.

Don't sound too jealous, do I? 😁
