This Blog Has Everything!

I told you that I would blog today and I told you I was gonna have sushi for lunch today. So far I am batting 1.000. I also said I am working tonight and I will probably keep my streak alive by doing just that. I saidI would have Dirty Laundry Podcast finished and uploaded and, guess what? I did that too. I also went to Pier One Imports, picked up a chair and assembled that. By "assemble" I mean I attached the four legs to the botton using the 16 boys, washers and locking washers. I sure bet Charles Ingalls wished he had a power drill. Well, he didn't wish that because they didn't have them back then and, even if they had, he had no way to charge the battery without electricity. Maybe the water mill could have charged it huh? I can never say those three words (Pier One Imports) together in that order and not think of The Blues Brothers. If you are a MIDDLE-aged American you know what I am blogging about. I bet a lot of people know actually. I just Goggled "blues brothers pier one imports" out of curiosity and YouTube went right to the scene most of us are thinking about right now.

We wanted to get Jeff's hair fur trimmed and get his nail clipped. So, we took him with us to get the chair. Cha Cha called PetSmart to set up an appointment and when she told the person the dog's name on the phone the girl told her that he could only get an appointment as "an express." She told Cha Cha that Jeff causes a ruckus when he is there and intimidates the other dogs. Jeff is just playful and happy so we found that hard to believe but we said that we would just bring him in to get his nails clipped. When we got there we went to check in and the girl that Cha Cha had spoken to on the phone came to the desk and we told her what we wanted and who we were. She looked at Jeff and said, "that's not the dog I was thinking of." She said there must be another family whose last name starts with an "H" with a dog named Jeff. So, we were able to make an appointement so Jeff to get the full day spa treatment. That sure didn't sound like Jeff though he is spazzy at times (he's not even one year old yet). Jeff is a Border Collie and he looks like Martun Van Buren. I thought it would be nice to have those mutton chops trimmed. The guy asked if we were sure because "that is a charachteristic of the breed." They'll grow back, He is going to look a lot more like a wolf or a fox than he already does though.

My Monday morning begins in five hours. I cannot wait. It looks like Tuesday I have to go in at 19:30. I have to get some clarification on that. I am all for overtime so, I will be happy to go though it does not sound like it is optional in this case. It looks like there are a couple of opportunities to work a couple of other OT shifts and I will check those out tonight. Maybe I will leave some for the people with less seniority than me - depends on several things.

I am going to end this now so I can get a few winks before work. I am on foot patrol tonight. I hope it doesn't get too cold tonight. I like my walking nights. I always see a lot of interesting creatures in the night; mostly mammals. Thanks a lot for stopping by. If you need more of me, why would you?, listen to the new show. I think it is better than last week's show. Have a great night and rest of your weekend. TTTMonday probably...MITM (out) TA!
