    Morning all!
    oh! what beautiful morning (ought to make a song titled that Many directions to go so guess it will be garden first, motorcycle shop 2nd, need new tire to pass inspection, I was hoping to squeeze it by but figured it will fail. Shop is an hour or so away. Took the wheel off yesterday.

    thanks for the brew Mick, hope Sandy is ok. It is strange to see the contrast between our creation and mother nature's for sure. Going to the city for the last couple of times makes me appreciate where I live all the more.

      Good morning Abbers, happy Hump day

      Thanks for the coffee Mick, much appreciated!
      I hope Sandy passes her checkup with flying colors.
      We have had some early hot weather here the past few days & watching the chickens find a way to cool off is a hoot! They have holes dug all over their yard that they jump in & fluff their feathers with the loose dirt. Those holes do fill with rain water from time to time so they could 'swim' if they wanted, ha ha! Glad to hear your purple tomato plants are growing!

      Sam, nice wheels
      PA dropped their helmet law several years ago - makes me nervous to see people riding without helmets. Are you a helmet wearer? I hope you get your new tire soon.

      There was a huge train derailment in Philadelphia last night, very sad situation. Six people were killed, one is missing & almost 150 were hospitalized in four area hospitals. What a mess! We listened to Philly FD radio & at one point they called for bomb sniffing K9s - just to be sure
      This morning it's looking like speed may have been the cause, not terrorism.

      Greetings to Pie, PQ, bear, pauly, Det, SF, NS & anyone stopping by today!
      Have a great AF day one & all. I'm heading out while it's cool to see what I can do about the weeds out there!!!

        Morning Mick, Sam, Lav,

        Door guys due to arrive at 10am. Hoping I can pay them extra to put up that crown molding I cut and have waiting on the floor. Fingers seriously crossed.

        Nice ride, Sam. Sad news from Philly, Lav, and much disruption of train lines this morning for commuters in surrounding areas. Mick, I shall have to return later to ponder your cloose.

          Mae everybody, late check in for me today,3 days af for me,but it's a big 3 days as it's my last! I can never be in the way I was again, I could feel the alcohol vapor coming out of my mouth and nose like a goddamn Dragon,Mick,you asked how I thought I'd remedy this, so I was at work and wrote a list of about 15 things I could do, or should do,I'm sure that list will grow, I imagined us as alkies this morning, sort of like being afloat in the ocean and avoiding the water(alcohol) while some are building a stronger foundation to avoid falling into it again, others like me have just been floating along in a little raft,avoiding the water but not building up a stronger, better boat to avoid it,does my analogy make sense? I haven't truly focused on nutrition,Lav's tried to help me but my effort has been so-so,finding new hobbies again so-so,just little things that I need to work on for this to truly work,was a bit sad at work when I was thumbing through my notes and saw 50 days with a smiley face by it,I was so excited for that day,and I made it, I was excited for 60 and beyond, grrrr, I think I keep making this harder than it is, hello to Sam,PPQP, Pie,SF,Bear,Det,hope everyone is having a good day
          I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

          I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:
          Drinkin won't help a damn thing! Will only make me sick for DAYS and that ugly, spacey dumb feeling-no thanks!

                MAE ALL...

                Mick...thanks for kicking us off. How did Sandy's vet visit go? How are you going to stop the magpies? I'm sure you'll come up with something will be expecting a pic. Tshirt business a little slow only one customer, Pi. I'll be pondering the cloose again in a bit. Answer in the morning. :happy2:

                Sam...nice bike. Hope the new tire wasn't too expensive.

                Lav...hope you dealt with the weeds in still cool weather. I'd love to see a pic of Stella's water holes. LOL Just watching the train wreck on the news. 100KM over the speed limit!!!

                Pi...did they hang the crown molding for you? I'll work on the cloose as well, we'll get this!

                Pauly...your analogy makes perfect sense. I need to work on my nutrition as well. Day 3 done and dusted onto day 4. Day 50 will be here before you know it and we'll all celebrate together. :hug:

                NS...after Pauly gets on board I think there's still a spot for me.

                Somewhat quiet day today, boy will I be glad when Boss #1 gets back. Positive eye checkup looks like I can start tapering off the drops again. Next visit June 3.
                Fast food dinner tonight (good nutrition) so no cleanup required in the kitchen. Relaxing tonight and watching some season finales on the teli. Have a peaceful evening all.....:smile:PPQP

                      dressed simply with garlic infused olive oil.
