     HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

     Yes, it's a Happy Mother's Day to all those who qualify. For those moms in the Valley whose Kidlettes are enrolled in scouting it may be a great Mother's Day as your Couch Monkeys may be at the big Cub Scout Camp. This camp is held every year on the same weekend giving moms a weekend respite. How's that for a Mother's Day present?

     Other than two flats of canned salmon and a couple of old biblical tomes I am doing some Manual Labour at the Sage's residence. Don't mention Manual Labour to any millenial because they will probably think that he was a past president of some latino banana republic. I'm replacing half of the boards on they deck as they have rotted. So, with a pry bar and my impact driver I am removing the old ones and securing the new ones. Half of what needed to be done has been completed and the rest will be done on the morrow. The afternoon heat is too great so screw it.

     My Sister from Another Mother, with her Lobster, came over for brunch. Wife Saver casserole, a salad and crab cakes. Yummy. For supper I'll be cooking some AAA grade bovine on the Sage's Flame Pit. Their Flame Pit is smaller than mine (about a third of the size) as there is just the two of them. But, it's not the size of the Flame Pit that counts it's the grill master standing in front of it. I understand my Jr. Loin Fruit did an excellent job doing bbq'd burgers - both meat and veggie - at the Wayward Inn. Good stuff.

23:00 hrs.

     Everyone has gone to sleep. I too must rack out. L'il Sis will be heading to Cowtown in the morning. I'll finish my chores and then see what mischief I can avoid. I would like to donate a copy of my new book to the local library. Mind you I have sold two already which has made this part of my journey legit.

     A late night message from my Lobster says that our Jr. Loin Fruit has been accepted for housing at the university in Capital City.  Hazaah!

     Good night.
