BRENDA Actually Jack. I had great luck. I got 1st place and won $10. Had 3 really good hands all over 1,000 points. Finally hand was winds and dragons.
SUX: Awesome.
BRENDA: It was.. My first hand, I went out and got over 1,000points. Then it sort of skidded around for a while then I got another hand with over 1,000points. Then more skidding. I almost had winds and dragons in another hand but I couldn't get rid of 2 character tiles. So, that hand wasn't great. The last hand was just pure luck. Didn't have my own flower or my own wind. But I had the wind of the round which was West and the green and white dragons. So, I got 3 doubles for the basic winds and dragons then another 3 doubles for the wind of the round and the 2 dragons in my hand. 6 doubles and another over 1,000point hand.

We had a field mouse in our house once, so I bought a fieldmouse-sized live trap and caught it. Cute little thing. I released it in a nearby field.
But they chew power cords and can spread hanta virus (altho never heard of hanta virus near Vancouver) so best that they're not in the house.

I am very careful. I don't leave food out when it is open. I haven't seen anything but keeping a close watch.
A mouse got into the apartment where I was living when I was looking after my mom and it finally ate the poison but I still had to kill it. Just to put it out of its misery.

It really was. I haven't won anything in weeks playing.

Walk in and done.
Have to get some vacuuming done in the kitchen before I make my supper.

Took one vehicle in for service, make SOME MORE doctor appts(!) -not for me but for others.
Bc of infusions yesterday and vehicle service today grocery shopping is put off for a couple of days and we're low on lunch options. So I did another bean and corn salad with onions, garden red peppers,garden tomatoes, garden parsley, a fresh grinding of pepper, a bit of leftover roast chicken (altho the rest is for chicken-bean-cheese enchiladas later) and a vinaigrette. And it got a family thumbs-up.

Got 'er done.
I was not on pace to beat the sun, but I went the last two hours without any breaks, hauling 55 bags of rock from the back of my house, all around to the front of the house and putting them down while also cutting the weed fabric.
Most of my day was spent meticulously cleaning the dirt site and then meticulously grading everything on a slope away from the house. Putting the rock down is easy. Just a lot more physical than everything else.
I'm freakin' beat.
Almost half my rock pile is gone now. I think I'm going to need more rock.
It's going to look so good after a few rains. the area where the A/C drips cleaned off the rocks and they are beautiful. So colorful. I really had no idea when they all look so brown and dirty out of the bag.
I wish I could show it to you two. Maybe when the rocks are clean I can get a shot under the siding with some of the rock and a hoasta and you can just imagine what it looks like.

The "u" and "i" are right next to each other. I can't tell you the number of times Ive corrected that typo! I guess I missed one!

Oh yeah. The I is right next to the U. I haven't even given any thought to the placement of keys for decades since I learned how to type. Back in the late 90's when I went to an office staffing temp agency that a few of the lady friends I had used the women there all couldn't believe that a guy could type 55 WPM with a .5% error rate. I've since added all the numbers and symbols above them and gotten quite a bit faster over the years just from writing all the time.
But I've seen you quote me as SUX back when we weren't agreeing on something too. You sure you're not mad at me about something still?
My old man was right. We got a ton of rain last night. Earlier this week I thought I'd have at least half a day before it started raining today, but after his warning I knew I needed to kick it into high gear and get it done.
Hopefully there isn't too much of a mess over on the other side that doesn't have any rocks yet. The tar should be dry though, so it should just be a matter of rinsing it down. I'm not worried about any dirt displacement either since I only needed to use 1 bag of topsoil on the 1st side, and the other 17 bags are for the other side that needed them. I'll probably go through them all, but if I don't I have some spots around the yard where I can use them.
I wonder if the rain really washed the rocks off? They look freakin' awesome right now while they're all wet. But yesterday I did spray a section of them with a hose and thought I'd washed them off but after they dried they were only slightly less dirty than the ones I hadn't sprayed.

Sun came out and is drying the rocks already. They still look pretty clean. We must have gotten a good deal of rain last night. More rain incoming tonight and tomorrow, so hopefully their true look comes out by the end of the weekend.
I'm taking it easy today. I'm wrecked.
