Was it actually there on your welcome mat? Or did someone take it before you could get it?

I thought for sure that they delivered my package to him. I was ready to ask you to go knock on his door.

The package was there. I too was afraid that it would be gone by the time I knew it was delivered.

Taco Bell "owning" the phrase "taco Tuesday" is a travesty. It is part of the common vernacular.

That looks good. Vegan?

What's up with the tap wrench?

Anyone up for a road trip? I want to get a cocktail from a child server.

It hasn't been easy. Air conditioning helps.

It's cultural. I eat a lot of noodles. I once dated a girl who said, the only people she knew who ate noodles all the time, were people in prison. Apparently, instant noodles are a staple item when you are incarcerated. And my ex was very familiar with the lifestyle behind bars.

The poor man's version of carbonara. Instant noodles. Cook the eggs until the white is close to solid and the yolk is warm. Then mix with whatever you want for flavor. Soy sauce, butter, sesame oil, cheese........ anything handy. You can even use the flavor packet that came with the noodles. Top off with whatever leftover pork, chicken, beef, shrimp, vegetables, etc.

Nobody wants to see photos of instant noodles.






A more traditional carbonara if you are not in jail:

Good morning Jim, So far so good! I just finished up the coffee and headed to the shop, I need to put a little paint on my fuel tank before it gets too hot. I don't have a paint booth (I'm not a painter) I paint outside.

This heat is ridiculous. A friend of a friend is a mechanic and has agreed take the truck to his place and work on it after work (as a mechanic, go figure) so it will pass smog. Maybe even get the other problem fixed. I am guessing the other problems is the timing chain/tensioner, but I will let him check it out. He was supposed to pick it up today, but something came up, and he will send his brothers over tomorrow. They are both mechanics also.
