Another Week Gone

     Yes, another week is gone leaving only a couple more before we haul the Jr. Loin Fruit south to Capital City. This was his last week at work which, from all indications, he did enjoy - especially the money.

     This past week your's truly was supposed to have a full week on a project. It wasn't. But, I'm on this whole weekend. My Lobster was off for a couple of days and that gave us time to get caught up on our cribbage games. We were both at home to observe work in the Wayward Inn by a Master Carpenter. By the end of yesterday we had a privacy door for the bonus room and our bank account was correspondingly lighter.

     The morons who operate and control the National Defense of the Great White North are in the process of rectifying a major faux pas. When our troops departed Afghanistan the cenotaph - built by soldiers to honour their fallen - that was in country was dismantled and brought back here. When NDHQ West was opened the cenotaph was rebuilt but none of the families of the fallen were even invited to view it. Not only that, it was assembled in a location where the families and the general public could not access it. Pure Bullshit. My question is this: who was the dickhead who made that decision and was he/she raked over the coals for being so stupid? Ultimately,  the Chief of Defence is responsible whether he had to sign off on it or not. What an asshat!

     We have not been to the new taphouse as of yet. I'd love to get to it soon. The two Couch Monkeys have asked if we could play Cards Against Humanity. It sounds like a drinking game so I'm up for it.

     Last night's card game was quite raucous. The funny part was the suggestion that we play this with Elric the Stalwart and his Lobster.  Uh, no. It would probably be the end of the friendship.

     For the past week my friend Kurtz has been Out in the Weeds with Father Guido Sarducci and the All-Star Choir. Last year Father Sarducci learned that Kurtz likes to chase after our 8 foot tall hairy friends and decided that he would like to perform a full blown mass ceremony Out in the Weeds. So, he hired Kurtz to take him and a part of the congregation for a week long outing. I don't know how much camping experience the Father or the congregation has but our base camp is pretty rustic. I expect to get a full debrief in a couple of days.

     With the Jr. Loin Fruit no longer working if I'm free on Monday maybe we can go out and drown some worms. It came to mind that, as a family, we have not done Weenies on the Beach at all this season. That being said, the season is just about over as the District only allows Beach fires from the May Two-Four Weekend to the September Long. That's it. That's all. After that if you want to enjoy a hotdog by the ocean you had Better bring a bbq. What a bunch of jerks.
