I had chicken for dinner, but not orange Chicken. I had chicken cordon bleu with mashed potatoes and boiled up fresh peas that were bought from farmer's market.

Not sure what our high was (I took a nap), but, at almost 7p it was still pretty toasty today…!!!

We didn't even have chicken as it was leftover day and all that was left was gnocchi and sausage. Today was wash 14 yards of fabric, 3 loads of dark clothes and a load of whites and that was after the farm market/grocery run. Tomorrow is orange chicken day, chili casserole day and frittata day

Yep, Dodge/Chrysler Hemi cylinder firing order too, although I was specifically referring to all Chevy V-8s (big block and small block), as it is with most GM engines.
Oddly enough (or not ) the Ford 289 c.i. and 302 c.i. small blocks have a firing order of 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8, and their 351 c.i. (Cleveland and Windsor) small blocks have a firing order of 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8…I know, riveting, right…?!!!!!!!

And, Carolyn’s mother is now moved in with us…!!!
Her rent was gettin’ insane, and we were the ones takin’ care of most of it. This will save us 1K+/month…!!!!!
Also, she finally realized she didn’t want to be in her own place by herself anymore. She was fine with it at first, but, this will be much better for her in every way…!!!

Glad you have it all worked out! I hope it goes well. Do you get along well with her?

Thanks…!!!
Like any other relationship it isn’t perfect, of course, but, yes, we get along well enough that it isn’t a nightmare scenario for either of us…!!!!!

That's great! I lived with my brother for a bit in college, and I lived with my in-laws when we first moved over here, and I am not a fan of living with family as adults because everyone has their own ways of doing things, and everyone seems to expect everyone else to do things their way. It was kind of a nightmare for me, and I hope we never have to do that again. But I suppose it's a bit different when it's YOUR home and the other person is moving in with YOU rather than you moving into HER home.
