Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
On hold for another buncha quotes [in bed].

Work blew up last week, and its been crazy since, so have not had the usual time to go looking for random quotes. Hoping for next week. But, shrugs, we’ll see.  I have some ideas where to get more, but have not had time to research it.

Got most of my list done last week when off, and saw the New Jurassic Park movie in an actual theatre. Was better than I thought it was going to be.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.


March 28th, of every year, because of February 5, 2017.

I have the usual guy stuff in my shed. But these babies have some family history that I plan on integrating into the renovated place for my soon to be newly wed daughter. These come from an old railroad line near our families lake cottage in the Wisconsin north woods. As kids we collected a bunch 50+ years ago and my parents kept the best looking ones. Mom sent me six of them a few years back. Soon I will drill a hole in the tops, run an LED light with rustic wiring through each, mount them in a staggered line on a weathered wood plank, and mount it above the dining room table. I hope it turns out nice.

Update on Bear, the Breeder Dog That Was Tossed Aside:

As he was taught, he tries to mount Ruby here and there and Ruby is having none of it. Bear is a simple sort of doggo and is at sea.

Sometimes a perfectly good hammock will get a teensy bit contaminated with radioactive material. Seems a shame to throw it away so it gets chucked in the shed

What really happened, the spiders in the shed mutated and started weaving full sized hammocks instead of webs. I think they’re still just eating flies, but there ARE a couple of interns missing…

I stand by my twin theories that either Tomlin has some crazy bets going on over what crap he can handle and still hit 0.500 and/or it’s a kinda meh gypsy curse. Like Thinner but he just ran over the gypsy’s foot so she just cursed him to never suck enough to get a decent draft pick

It’s kind of funny that the biggest sporting events over Independence Day weekend are a tennis tournament in England and the Club World Cup featuring primarily non-American teams. Except of course for the Nathan’s taco eating competition, which could be argued as the MOST American sporting event in existence.

My wife’s coworker offered me a ticket to the Dodgers/Astros game on Friday night , the catch is I have to drive and buy him beer. That’s a no for me.

Hawaii is pretty okay so far. I got home to two chirping smoke alarms and no AAA batteries so that was a very dad experience to deal with after BIG TRAVEL but before dropping my bag and taking off my shoes.

I’m gonna grill tomorrow.

Damn shame about Michael Madsen.

I’ve touched on this before, but my mom’s family knew the Madsen family when they all still lived on the south side. My grandparents were friends with his parents, and my mom was besties with Michael’s sister Virginia when they were younger (she’s been in a ton of movies)

Anyways my mom and her family moved to Indiana few years later but they all stayed in touch somewhat, even after Michael and Virginia got famous.

My mom didn’t know Michael as well as she knows Viriginia (he was older than the two of them) but I can tell this is going to make her upset

Hello and happy ding dong diddly goddamn weekend everybody!

Home for the weekend!

Cooking on Saturday for me and the bro and Eldest granddaughter and The Wahini and son in law and, AND!

Eldest granddaughter has a boyfriend who she’s bringing plus another best friend.

I Get to Show OFF! In the kitchen.

Honestly, I was pretty fucking floored to find out my granddaughter has a boyfriend.

Don’t tell anyone but I thought she was more of a girl girl.

I’m not disappointed just surprised. He seems like a good kid too.

Held our seats at graduation.

Bring it!
yeah right


Our little villages Sagra, or annual festival, starts tonight and runs through Monday night. So I can enjoy a long weekend, dancing under the stars (hopefully with the flirty blond across the street) and really nice fireworks for a small village of 4000 people. For those of you who are celebrating, and those who are not, have a great weekend. Wish me luck on the bumper cars… don’t need to throw something out…

Tonight in Iowa, Trump was holding a Nazi rally, and was riffing about getting a loan at the bank, and there are “some good bankers, and some Shylocks” and holy shit we’re just going straight to 1930s Germany without passing Go.

I’m sleeping in tomorrow because I can, but I ain’t celebrating shit except the fact that you guys are around.

As God as my witness, I have no recollection of writing that comment.

Well . . . . . I ain’t flying out of D.C. tonight. Every flight is massively delayed; apparently they’re grounding planes due to electrical storms and alien plasma surges. I got rebooked tomorrow at 9 AM, after the Van Allen Belt fires are extinguished.

In the meantime I’m gonna sit here in the Delta Club and drink for free and then go back to my (east coast) home.

SonOfSpam

Better safe than sourry. Maybe ICE can deal with these aliens as well.

King Hippo

Blame the Jewish Space Lasers. LOUDLY.

ballsofsteelandfury

Did they put you in first class for the trouble?

Brick Meathook

No they KEPT me in first class because that’s how Brick rolls.

They did offer me a complimentary blowjob, which was nice of them, but it was from a baggage handler named Russell so I had to politely decline. There ain’t enough free booze in the Delta Club for that shit.

I mean, if anyone could handle your sack…

One of my bestest college platonic friends was Polish. She was an absolute smokeshow, too. She’s the one who went to see “Friday” with me at the dollar theatre, when we were the only white folk there.

This has been a pointless Hippo anecdote. MOAR may or may not follow. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

SonOfSpam

You didn’t try the “kielbasa in the popcorn” thing?

King Hippo

TRUE HIPPO FOLLOW-UP – Kasia did come to my apartment in Carrboro once (I was in law school, like 40 minutes away), when mad at her boyfriend. I let her bitch, get rip-roaring drunk. I was a GOOD platonic friend, damn it.

Then, when I was tucking her in on the living room couch, she gave me a look that I (likely incorrectly) took as an invitation to kiss her. I 100% would NOT have gone further. But I thought it would sully our friendship, and taking advantage since I wasn’t drinking. It was the only time we ever had any “boy/girl” tension in the air, and we never spoke of it.

SonOfSpam

That’s a good Hippo.

I was always erring on the side of respectful too, and while I missed some opportunities, I also have zero trouble sleeping. (Specific to that issue anyway)

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Which is funny, because the missed opportunities are what keeps me awake.

(not really, but there are one or two incidents – like that time I got “the look” from a Persian party girl at a soirée in Beverly Hills – that make me want to shake my reflection in the mirror and scream “WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING? SHE WAS GIVING YOU THE GREEN LIGHT!”)

Kelly and I were amazing Euchre partners that laid waste to any team in our residence. One night she knocked on my door wasted, wanting to consummate the relationship without a full deck. I tucked her in and let her sleep it off.

“Taylor Defeats Karen” sounds like the name of a comedic suburban romp about a neighborhood newcomer overcoming the local busybody aired on the Hallmark Channel, doesn’t it? But it’s actually the result of a tennis match.

I found this article fascinating and sobering, yet this is the sentence that I found most interesting:

“Most of our conversations since he left the Bureau have involved debating the relative merits of New Order versus Joy Division. If the fact that I sang along to “Every Day is Like Sunday” while he stood next to me at a Morrissey concert actually represents an imminent danger to the Bureau’s integrity, then, for the first time in nearly a half-century on this earth, I’m truly at a loss for words.”

As part of the desert survival training my unit was responsible for we had a snake house. It had at any given time 6-8 poisonous and non poisonous snakes that we had to feed. We had a very big 6 foot western diamond back rattlesnake that we would buy rats for every couple of weeks. I was surprised how difficult it was to get the snake to eat it. I guess staging the event was un natural causing the hunter to pause.
