Starting Sunday we're going over 110 degrees again. For the foreseeable future (18 days) after that, we're going to be above 110. Some nights we're going to cool all the way down to 90. I'd say I wish I was on my property in Missouri, but they're just as fucked there. They'll be hitting mid-high 90's with 50-70% humidity. Fuck that even more.
Do y'all think having a medium-sized dog helps as a theft deterrent? Toying with the idea of getting a dog as an extra security alarm. Cause this cat sure as shit isn't gonna give anyone pause.
It depends on the dog. I had a pit bull that would've rolled over and pissed all over herself if someone broke in because she was so excited to see a possible new friend that might rub her belly. I've also had a Sheltie, mixed with God only knows what, mutt that rolled a Doberman three times her size who was threatening my mother. She was no bigger then a beagle, but she took her job of protecting us seriously.
Think I've had enough "country" for one day. Went all over town looking at dog houses on Craigslist, only to end up pulling this thing in the back of my truck down the highway for an hour. I'm incredibly proud of my find (it'll be turned into a house for the baby ducks I'm about to get, who will provide me with delicious eggs)... My wife thinks I'm an idiot because she doesn't share my vision of adding a door into the back to clean out the duck shit with a leaf blower. But for $100, it saved me a ton of work in the 100 degree heat I just didn't wanna do building basically the same type structure for a few bucks less.
Heh. I was just messing with my guitar and remembered a riff from the 80's. It's a stupidly simple piece, but it's fun to play.
Glad someone mentioned it. I make my burgers basically like one would meatloaf, except minus the "grumpy old cafeteria worker" taste, by which I mean I use good beef, season it like I would a steak, and add things like rosemary, thyme, shallots, garlic, some cayenne, mustard powder, green onion.
Add another pro-meatloaf vote. It's the only "grown up" food I liked as a kid, and it might be the only Anglo-American staple main course I like today. Unlike pot roast, meat loaf has the potential to taste good and I can actually chew it.
Yep, 114 for a couple days this week. Maybe we'll hit 117 again this year. Oh God, I remember that... What the hell is it doing on my phone? When Gorky Park were interviewed on the Headbangers' Ball, their English seemed perfect, and they said they'd just learned to speak it. Maybe it was a 14 year old's cynicism, but I had to wonder if they were really Russian.
If i yell loud enough, maybe el husband will wake up. I am currently trapped in the bathroom with no TP after a flurry of shitting. Help. Someone help....
Crisis averted. I yelled loud enough for him to hear over his earbuds that he sleeps in. Now the dogs can stop looking into the bathroom all concerned at my state and I can stop eyeballing the used tissues in the wastepaper basket beside the toilet. I'm off to make burgers!! Yeah burgers! Yeah!
