Coffee anyone ?

On a happier note, today is our daughters birthday. We went to Texas Roadhouse for steak dinner. The wait staff brought out a saddle, had her get on it while they shouted to the whole restaurant, Today is Rachel’s birthday, she is 32! The whole place erupted in cheers, whoops and applause. The waitress counted to 3 and everybody yelled YEE-HAW!!

Like DD's Bday, for the guy in the truck. Classic case of "excessive speed" I imagine if he snapped a power pole.

Looks like y'all had a great time!!....and wish her a Happy one from us, too......my oldest had her 40th a week or 2 ago.....

That is terrible about the accident.....

People speed down these backroads, drive in the middle on blind hills and curves as fast as they can. We slow down and hug our side of the road. Weekly we barely avoid a speed demon taking our share of the road. While that young man was a stupid idiot, he shouldn't have to pay for his poor judgement with his life. We don't even know who he was and don't know how to check on him to see if he lived.

That is kind of how it works isn't it? Small mistakes, small consequences. Speeding over a hill on a blind curve in a 4,500 pound hunk of metal, big consequences. Yeah, it would have been better if he'd been going slower, almost lost it and the consequence was only needing a change of underwear. I hope he makes it, I hope his damage turns out to be repairable and relatively minor. I feel for his family, they did nothing wrong but they will suffer no matter the outcome.

Decaf is on. Throat is a bit scratchy, hoping for a bit of relief. Help yourself to a late cup.

We're having 2,000 units of vitamin C mixed in a shot of elderberry syrup.

@Wehner Homestead, you need some of this!

An Uncle Joe day for me tomorrow. Came off the ladder (painting living room) but landed flat footed pretty hard. Caught the paint and the brush so points for that. Getting old ain’t for sissies...

Um, don't know about VA but here that inspection sticker best be firmly attached to the windshield. The only way to get them off is with a razor blade.

Here too. But... Young man didn't affix correctly. Heat?

YEE-HAW! Looks like fun.

Hmmm. Coffee? Add honey.

Getting old ain’t for sissies...

AMEN, sista!! Daily challenges. But alternative is worse.
Trudge forward.

Coffee is ready. Got some raw honey to out in it for that scratchy throat @Wehner Homestead and a kick of whiskey if you're inclined. Your throat might still hurt, but you won't care.
@Skiesblue I did some painting yesterday too. I've building two shelf towers in the middle bedroom closet to put canned goods (jars), canning supplies and my big pots in. I got them finished and one tower loaded up. The big tower is 3' wide and 7' tall, the little tower is 22" wide and 7' tall. I painted all the boards before I put it all together, then did touch up after I beat them up. LOL I hope you can take some time to put your feet up and rest today. Landing like you did has got to hurt.
