dont worry about it, its part of my job. Usual for ITs to be nightowls.

speaking of IT...there is this new show on USA Network called Mr. Robot (terrible name for a show) but it's been only on once and I'm hooked already.

It's already been renewed for a second season.

I'm glad this is only a picture.

you guys and gals do not have to worry much anyway.
thats a tiny itsy bitsy jumping spider.
which means is smaller than a little pinky finger's nail.

These photos are taken with specialized "Macro" lenses, that allows huge magnification.

the Dalia Llama was at the Glastonbury Festival this weekend

My first look at this new font/layout....looks cartoony

Well I can't speak for Denver restaurants as I don't live there, although some of hubby's family lives there and others also up in the Rocky Mountains. Went to Colorado once with him some years ago, and I thought the food was really good. Yet, we drove all over the state; so I can't focus on Denver, as we only had one meal there. (It was very good though.)

for restaurants, I dont think anything tops Houston.
Wasnt Houston the food capital in the US?

I keep hearing about it everywhere.. specially the spirited threads.
I dont think I will be able to see the series soon.
The translations take ages to appear in my country.

Well, all the yard work is finally done. I just kept finding more things to do.
It's currently 88 degrees, but, with 72% humidididididity it feels like 102.
Unfortunately, no strudel making today (probably Friday, since we have the day off 'cause the 4th is on Saturday)...I'm whipped. Time for some adult suds and chillin'...!

I learned to drive an Oldsmobile Delmont 88 white 4 door 1967 She was a boat and a half, huge trunk and 8 cylinder engine. While we had a newer car but my Dad liked to drive this one down to Florida because it had so much room in the trunk and space for us to move around the backseat (nobody used seatbelts.) And this thing was fast with amazing pickup. When I got my first new car, my baby, my Mustang she was fast too but nothing like the Delmont, plus the Mustang felt like one of those microscopic mini electric clown cars after driving the Delmont for 2 years.

The year I had just got my licence my Dad needed a nap, Mom wouldn't drive the highway so he told me to just keep up with the semi in front of me. Thinking I was going about 90 mph when he woke up and said a *bad word* Me, the semi is still in front of me???? We made some real good time while he was asleep. He should have let me drive more and we would have gotten there a day sooner.

Hahaaa...!
Where's the funnel on that ship...?!
And, we had neighbors in No Cal that had one of those, too (at the time, we had a '64 Olds F-85)...! And yea, talk about a boat! But, yet another fine cruisin' vessel...!

 

[donaldtoo]

I love No Cal (hee-hee, sounds like diet food) and always wished I could move up there. What part did you live in? The Bay area or elsewhere?

Hahaaa...!!!
Yep, the Bay Area. Specifically, San Jose. And yes, I DEFINITELY know the way...!

 

[donaldtoo]

I'd like to spend some time in SoCal (Disneyland, San Diego, LA), and then go to San Fransisco. We talked about doing that when I graduated high school, but ended up doing six days at Disneyland and then coming here for eight days. California is beautiful and so interesting; I'd love to see more of it.

We visited San Francisco often when we lived in San Jose. So many things to do. Hope y'all get there soon, 'cause I'm sure y'all will love it...!

 

[donaldtoo]

THNX! Those monsters were much quieter last night BTW they looked really sick yesterday afternoon. Karma?

 

[donaldtoo]

ROFLOL If I did that I'd have to fill the fridge everyday! My little guy likes to cook. Thank you Ratatouille

Love it...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

I forgot to mention my good neighbor had lots of fun yesterday morning they hauled out their stereo and blasted the Who, Stones and Zeplin for a few hours

AWESOME!!!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

That is one of the ugliest, creepiest things I have ever seen!! You remind me of my two brothers back when we were kids. They would find scary bugs and "surprise" my sister and I . . . "Oh look, I have something cool to show you. C'mon over here . . ." Boys will be boys . . .

But...they have the same eyes.....

 

[donaldtoo]

It's not that bad But than again it's not on me

 

[donaldtoo]

OF COURSE you do . . . Is there anything fantastic or fun that you don't have in donaldtoo's perfectly, perfect, perfection of a city??!! Let's see . . . every store you'd ever want to shop at, every possible good restaurant that serves delicious food, the best backyard Texas barbecue picnics, roadside stands selling fresh fruit and veggies, and even furniture (I seem to recall you had mentioned that one too . . .). I'm sure I must have forgotten at least something in my list here.

Hey, it's Texas, and Austin is the state capital...you do the math...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Can you ship some strudel to Ohio?

Yes! it keeps/ships very well, actually.
How many do you need...?

Good morning all.

Visiting Pearl Harbor today. We bought tickets a while back to visit the Arizona memorial and are going to do some of the other exhibits. It's very sobering, but also very interesting to learn about the history.

Oh my. I hope you took some pics to post...!
The Arizona Memorial is DEFINITELY on my bucket list.

Love that lazy river! The third picture really reminded me of myself at both Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon back in May. Sometimes, I like to just lie there like a dead person in the floatie tube. It's so relaxing!

The last time we were at BB we could not get an innertube. They were full all day and when we tried to walk a little in the water we had no space.
