Today was a good day because _________

...because diesel fuel is now down to the price of super unleaded in our area.

Had to go into town to get a new battery in my wife's computer....sat on a patio and had a couple of caesers then walked around snd enjoyed the Buskerfest. Got home, sat in the sun, a few cocktails and some great music. Time with my bride, a nice dinner on the deck enjoying the view of the lake, more good tunes and then a nice bourbon by the fire with my dog Woody.....life is good.

Spent 8 hours on the water with my son. We laughed, caught fish, got sunburned, got caught in a rainstorm, ate a good dinner, serendipitously ran into close family at said dinner.

After that, we boated back to the ramp, loaded up and came home. It was a good day.

^Thats my plan for later today - my wife and boys are back from the 2nd part of our trip to Cali - I came home first - my life feels complete again and my heart is full again.

The bride and I drove the Bug up to a local winery, had some nice wines and a wood baked pizza on the lawn over looking the lake. Should've taken a pic of the pie and maybe the Bug but I did take one of my bride. The drive was excellent, Perth Road is 20 miles of very smooth winding road, great views on both sides of lakes and cottage country. Life is good.

...my wife gave me some good advice, as usual. Man, I don't deserve her sometimes but I lucked out big time, BIG TIME. Angel Eyes by Jeff Healey often comes to mind.❤

Just got back from Paris & south of France. Driving down south was fun.

The Mrs. Murf in the flesh, smiling and profiling.

...because the US Dollar and Euro are on parity again for the first time in ages! Great time for those of us on this side of the pond to own a German car or buy parts from Europe.....

Because my teenage son called me to help him with a flat tire and teach him how it’s done and what to do after.

….I heard a neighbor singing the "Star Spangled Banner" and it made my heart warm. Gotta love people with nationalistic pride.

Rode the Coast for dinner and a nice lobster sandwich. ( See Dinner thread.)

...my parents celebrated their 63 years together.

Life's on after that!

I've had 2 short timers calendars in my life. First one was in Vietnam; counted 365 days.

The second one was near the end of my 21 years at our local university. When I got down to the 2 weeks mark, I set the volume on the telephone to as low as it would go, then put 6 layers of masking tape over the speaker/ringer.

All I did after that was write manuals for my boss so the person filling my position would have some idea as to my wide range of responsibilities.

Guess who filled my position?

My boss! He was so pissed at upper management, he demoted himself!

I had my car serviced well and at a "reasonable" price.

They had promised to rip me off by the phone, so I had to reduce the order to the minimum, excluding things I could do myself. On the spot it went much better though: it was an amazing unexpected discount fest so I could include everything needed and even proceed cynically to making some profit by having them replace my wiper blades as well (discounted it cost less than buying at full price from them and fitting myself). It was no trick: the initial cosmic prices were the current "regular" , I had to switch from my previous service (that had asked even more) to this one because of that (both BMW official). And, of course, I watched them doing it: no paper buy for me!

Made it out of Tahoe down only about $2g after 3 days
Now only about an hour until we get to see my middle son in Portland!

[Mintsopoulos]

I took the first step at learning Greek! Hoping this old dog can still learn a new trick or two.

The last of the nasty carpet is gone from our house. Should have removed it years ago. Now the only carpet in the house is in my office (still in good shape) and on the stairs.

Taking off momentarily for Halifax for the ♪♫ Jazz festival ♫♪ and spending the week-end with my friend. I'll be off the grid for a couple of days.

….I found another new flavor of Mountain Dew. That makes flavor #45 that I've come across and I always keep a few different flavors in the fridge at all times. I love the seasonal flavors too!

Went to see my cardiologist today and he was happy with my blood pressure: 128/80.

I don't have to see him again for another year. Yay!
