and I don't want to talk about it. Suffice to say that the police were involved. Here. At 1:30 this morning. Sproing this time.
Superman found the conestoga frame for my truck. I'm a goin' on the road again in a couple of weeks. Less than two weeks now, actually. I'm preparing stuff, beginning to figure out the route. I'm going to upstate New York anyway, and possibly on into New England. Right now I'm all hep to go lots of places and see lots of people. Once I've been on the road for a while I'll be less eager to go other places and more eager to come home to Superman. Though not so eager to come home to the miscreants.
I'll have to explain the conestoga frame. It's a wooden framework with PVC pole ribs to support a tarp, making the bed of the truck into a tent of sorts. (I would promise pictures, but you know how I am about picture promises. I still owe you pics of the puppy and my last road trip.) The idea is for me to do some camping while I'm on the road, or at least have that as an option.
Diva insists that we grill burgers today, it being Memorial Day. So we've got hamburger meat for those who want it, some veggie burgers for me and whomever else may want some, a few chicken boobies, some beer brats, and some turkey hot dogs. Diva just put an apple pie in the oven. She made it herself from scratch, including the crust. I'm impressed, actually. Took her a couple of hours to do it, but that's OK.
The right rear tire on my truck is flat. Sproing noticed it flat yesterday afternoon. Don't know what happened, exactly. Superman suspects I have a nail or screw stuck in it. We (he) will take it to our favorite tire place tomorrow to get it repaired (if it can be repaired).
Spelling quandary: repair and prepare. Why aren't they both spelled with either an "are" or an "air"? Those two words trip me up regularly.
That's all I got for now, folks.

As to the kids, it seems it's one thing or another. Out at 1:30AM, or baking pies. Sounds like you're in for a heck of a grillin'! I bought a nice steak, and some shrimp, and a potato to bake (but I did get no-fat sour cream).
OOOOO, I hope you enjoy your trip! If you come thru central VA, you know you've got a free bed and bath!
Peace <3

I find I have more trouble spelling the last few years. I'm afraid this is the beginning of dementia. I hope not but my Mother and her two older sisters both had it. My father did not. Hopefully I have more of his genes. It does worry me though that words that I used to spell effortlessly now give me trouble. Just another "fun" thing about getting old.
Have a safe and enjoyable trip.

Well if your traveling takes you through northeastern PA(near I-80 and/or I-81, stop on over at my house. I've got a spare bedroom now that the daughter has moved out or you can pitch your truck/tent do hickey in the backyard and rough it. Free hot showers too and I'll clean the bathroom....not guaranteeing a clean you can eat off the floor...not that ANYONE would want to eat off that floor....lol
At one time I think they were spelled the same. The history of spelling is an interesting topic, indeed.
"wont sum r innit?" A question asked by the "fillin stashun tendant" when my son bought a tube to go floating down the Cane River in the mountains of NC.
Translation: "Want some air in it?" He asked my son three times and only got a blank stare, and finally I said, "Yes, please." The old man walked away with the tube, and my son looked at me and said, "What did he say?"
Yes, we have trouble spelling the Queen's English and sometimes even saying it!
How'd it go? Have a cop free night? ;)
