“Best By” dates
I strictly respect the Best By date on the following: Beef and fish Sausage of all kinds Chicken (may allow for 1-2 days after BB) Soft cheese (brie) Pork I pay attention to Best By on these items, but it’s more for curiosity. It won’t keep me from eating: Milk, surprisingly. Smell test is key [...]
Digging: they’ve breached the yard
Earlier last week we received about 12 hours notice that the digging would be happening the next day by the guy in the truck. Sherri unearthed her mailbox flowerbed and temporarily located most of it in the old red wheelbarrow that has served us so well but may be nearing death. As of Thursday morning, [...]
Digging countdown
Digging starts tomorrow. We’re sorta famous on our street now. The pipeline company left notes with all 30-something houses on our street letting them know deep diggin’ would be happening at our house starting tomorrow, and that they should make plans to avoid driving by. This is a big inconvenience, because we have SO many [...]
GMAT: registered
It’s on. June 14 at 12:15pm. I have experience with these kinds of tests (MCSE, CCNA, real estate state & national), but they still make me nervous. And for this, I get the pleasure of paying them $250.

Zzzzzzz
Wondering why my repaired XBOX sat there for four days before someone got the bright idea to put it on a truck…
Catching up
Let’s take a moment while I wait for this database to load to catch up with each other. How have you been? You look great! Have you been working out? Yoga? Whatever you’re doing, it’s working. Oh, you’ve been watching the Idol? Who do you think will win? Yeah? Makes sense. Anyway… My world is [...]
O’Reilly remix
This is awesome. Warning: naughty f-bombs.
Pipeline digging
Remember when I mentioned the PA OneCall markings that appeared mysteriously on our street a few weeks back? This evening, there were more markings. And we learned why, as a rep from Buckeye happened to be parked in front of our house when we got home, and wanted to talk to us. They periodically send [...]
Picture roundup
The new “putting green” they put behind our house. In reality, they cleaned up the drainage ravine running through the scrub brush that used to be there. We haven’t had flooding problems since we’re almost at the top of a hill, but houses in the neighborhood behind us have had problems. There are several neighborhood [...]
