Remeber "Thristy Thursday " at the bars? NO? Ok, never mind....

I have no idea what brought that thought on.. Back in the day, say mid-to late '70's I frequented a lot of bars or clubs.  Shoot, while with Xerox, most of our 8 man team meetings were held in a bar or blub that served food.!  IN the Middle of the day.
Anyway most places had a catchy  slogan to remind you to come in and get a "pick me up" drink to ease the tensions of the workaday doldrums ( which is a  nautical term btw)
I forget the name of the local place down in the NASA area that used the  term Thirsty Thursday, but I'm sure it's long gone now.
One place over SW side of Downtown Houston near the XEROX  headquarters building had lingerie shows . Basically the waitress severing the drinks and free food platters were "modeling" items  you could buy for your wifie or girl friend. 

But,  like the song says.. " That was Yesterday and yesterday's gone." 


Really I woke up feeling good this morning.Once I got all untangled from the bed I actually made it all the way through the house with out having to kick a cat outta the way.

Coffee is good this morning, BUT I think a new coffee making pot is due. This one just don't keep it hot once it's finished brewing.   I had one pot I really liked but it had a design issue that they never could fix .  What it was a semi normal looking drip type device that had a spigot on the bottom of the pot. Set your cup under it and drain in the coffee. Didn't have to pick up the pot!!  Only problem was the spigot would drip after a time of use and nuthing you could do would fix it.  They even replaced my pot with a new and improved model.  Same thing, dang it!!!  


I'll look next time at the big store but it ain't  real high on my list. 


One good thing this morning also was opening the kitchen window blind and NOT seeing that camper out back!!  I can't tell you how glad I am to see that mistake gone!!  One more mistake to make right and I'm set for the year. :-)   repeated part below

Ain't that neat looking?   No freeze for the next few days. Shoot I may just gas up Big John and mow out back particularly!!  Get it all cleaned up for winter so it'll look good next spring . At least till the summer heat moves in and kills it all again.

OK, another cuppa, gag down my pills and I got planned a great ole big omelet thingie for breakfast.  BBL I betcha.

OH!! And FedEx is due to deliver.  IF they don't get lost like normal!! AH's !!! 


Nearly 10AM and I GOT to tell ya bout the Omelet I made !!  I guess technically not an omelet, more of an egg scramble.  Dice up some ham, got out some red and yellow bell peppers , also chopped, onion, again, chop it up!!  Some cheese chunks and mushroom pieces.  What I do is crack my two eggs into a cup, add in the cheese and mushrooms. In the skillet, toast the ham and onions and cook till you get good color, then cut the fire back some, reason being you don't want to cook the eggs too fast and dry them out.  Anyway, stir in the eggs and keep moving them around slowly till they get to the consistory you prefer.  add the seasonings you want and  if you time it right the toast will be ready when the egg is.  This one I choose to NOT add the red chile flakes but that's a personal choice. 


And alternative to that is instead of ham, I slice up a tamale . 


BTW, have I mentioned how happy  I am to NOT see that camper sitting out back?  Just the brown grass where it was?

Well, almost NOON, and guess who showed up? 


Surprise, surprise!!! So, decision time. Do I go head and go get the car serviced or unpack the big ole box?    umm,, Car is more important and don't need an appointment, so quick lunch and head out.. BBL!!! 


 4:30 ish PM Made it back just fine thank you   Got the car all serviced and checked out at the price indicated on the voucher. So I'm good for a while I guess.  Dang them and their Used car lot!!!  They had a Ford F150  loaded , and a heck of a price. This one in your curious.  I could sell my current BOT and get that one. But SON,,it has way too much fancy stuff on it  and a big ole V8 engine . Looks sort of like a Cowboy Pimp mobile!! :-)  Sure was good looking though. The quick talking sales kid wanted to trade me evensteven for mine.  Yea, I know how that works.


Went on some ole back roads on the way out  just to see the countryside.  Hadn't been that way in  awhile. and NO I wasn't lost.. just cruising and looking. 


Quick as I feed these starving ass cats I think I'm gonna make me a Jack and 7,short one, but I hadn't had one in I don't know how long.  Course make it up and then probably end up tossing most of it, but I gotta try .. 


See at ya later.... 

9PM by the ole clock on the wall.  Tossed bout half that Jack and 7. Tasted fine, just didn't want it. Will stick with my wine coolers I guess.  :-) 


Coffee pot set up for morning , cats counted.  

Think in the morning I am going to play with my new toy , testing and the like, until it warms up enough THEN go out and attack the yard.  Since I won't be manicuring the grass, not going to be an all day job. So, think I got Friday figered out.   See ya'll later I hope.
