Hey! I just realised that "Quarter Pounder" could be the name of a male hooker who charges 25¢ 😁

the 20 Pencer doesn't have the same ring to it
 
It's never a good sign when the "service engine soon" light continually pops up on the dashboard. The truck has been real moody for a few months...and it's already shown me it does NOT like driving in warm weather. It's always a crap shoot when I try to start the engine. Will it or won't it start? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It's very stressful. And there's now an ominous clicking noise under the hood. I'm no oracle, but I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with the engine! 😄
 
I smashed a glass while cooking the other day stepped on glass from it first thing today. I thought I had vacuumed it all up but no such luck. So started the day with vacuuming again, twice.

Took the bunnies out for a brush in the garden before the rain came in the afternoon.

It was so pretty outside when the rain cleared, so still. I should have taken my phone walkies to get pictures but they never turn out as good as the real thing anyway.
The default rule for broken glass is that the last piece will ONLY be found by someone stepping on it. I stepped on a piece about a month ago, and it had been at least 3 months since we broke the dish. Suspect it was hiding in a corner and jumped in front of me.

Not sure where you are located, but here in the US most auto parts stores will run a free diagnostic that will tell you why the light is on. Will at least let you know how serious it is.

That sneaky shrapnel!

The last time I had broken glass in the house it was when the bulb above my bed exploded.

I didn't really have a choice other than to check very carefully. And wash the sheets!

my light is also over my bed. One time narrowly missed getting hit by falling glass case/shade!

Oh, we checked carefully. In fact, about a month later we took everything out of the kitchen so we could deep clean. And somehow that one piece STILL managed to stay hidden.

I'm in Los Angeles (aka the 9th Circle of Hell). Thank you for that info, by the way! Much appreciated. There's an Auto Zone a mile away from me, and I'll DEFINITELY get that diagnostic soon. It'll take the mystery out of what's going on with the truck.

They can also clear a code with their code reader so if it was something that only happened once, you don't have the problem anymore. I bought my own code reader a few years back and it has enabled me to get rid of some pesky codes.

Yeah, although if it is being stubborn about starting then code clearing probably won't solve it.

Even if the car seemed to be running fine there can still be issues that might cause you to fail inspection. * I once cleared a light that said there was an issue with the catalytic converter. But since it wasn't working properly I failed the emissions test.

*Beginning in 2025 vehicle inspections are going away in Texas so it becomes a moot point for me in a year.
 
Must be something in the air, because I got McNuggets yesterday, too. But our large is 20, not 24. Is it because you're on the metric system?🤔
I duno! I just asked whats the best deal on nuggets and she said 24 for $9.95, so thats what i got 🙂 We still call them quarter pounders too! Maccas must be a drug to measure like that!

Today has been slow. Woke up all locked up on my right side again. Did some gardening but now curled up on the couch with the dogs watching Anthony Stewart Head in a percy Jackson movie.

Hope you are feeling better now!
I've only just heard the full Angel theme five minutes ago, and my God, it's beautiful. Nearly brought me to tears.

 
My friend from Austin is in town for a week visiting friends & family yesterday we went up to Cleveland.
Decided to park in The Flats and walk round before the game...

Walked by several bars & other establishments. Sign made me giggle 😀

Onto the game...

Was exciting game with a walk off sacrifice fly! Not quite the walk off homer was hoping for, but I'll take it! 😊

Just a neat sight I seen walking from the stadium. My friend dragged me into the same club from earlier, but that's another story for friends... 😳
 
Just wanted to add that had pizza at stadium from Dante's Inferno which, according to lady at stadium, was created by michelin star chef
Was pretty darned good. Also had a hot dog with that brown stadium mustard and a vanilla gelato 🙂
 
Been a great day 🙂 got to go pat some ponies. Its so lovely out there. The babies were racing each other around the paddocks in a natural pace. It was awesome to see, they doing exactly what they were bred for and loving it. Whenever people say race horses dont want to race, has never tried to make a horse do anything it doesn't want to do. I picked my favourite and the guy said I could have it, but hes (usually) joking. I also liked the big dorky 4 year old he had there, but hes still racing so no chance of snatching that one away.

I always want to go out there more but feel out of place just hanging around patting other peoples ponies. I wish the shire had let me hire a paddock so I could have my own horse here. They seem to want to lock me out of everything I want to do. I applied for the gym in April and they still wont let me join. Its like they want to drive me out of here. I love my house though and if the weather was like this all year, I'd never leave. If I had my own horse to ride, it would be perfect.
 
Woke up yesterday with a sore throat and scratchy voice, got worse during the day with a headache added in.
Slept terribly last night, just couldn't settle, was cold, then hot. So alongside the sore throat, I'm also exhausted today.

I have seen suggestions that there is a summer Covid wave. Take care of yourself!
Somehow forgot to mention that on way to the game we walked thru the remnants of set of new Superman movie being filmed in Cleveland!

Easy to miss! :)
Our usual dance at the Legion was cancelled last night and postponed until Friday. The 100-year old building developed a massive plumbing problem that is going to take three days to solve. I am rather skeptical about the three days - it could easily be more. So we moved it to the outdoor venue at Lakefront Promenade where we usually go Fridays. But Anna, who runs the Miss Bachata and Miss Salsa event every Monday has been good to us for the seven years she has been in business, so If it is open Friday, we will go.

We have one girl who comes in every week from London ON, a distance of about 110 miles / 180 km, so I hope she got the message and didn't show up this week. She has shown up with as many as four other girls, so that could have been a disaster.
 
Someone in the laundry room asked me what did I think about the upcoming Presidential election. I took one look at his hipster beard and sandals, then told him, "You really don't want to know." Luckily he didn't push it.

I think I handled that quite well! 😇

for someone that said they like to create chaos you sure go out of your way to avoid it
