Curious is his name and he was my step mom's. He's had a rough few days including an airport and plane ride and being separated from everything he knew. I can understand why he has been glued to me. He spent last night literally sleeping on me. My dog Rosie isn't quite sure what to make of him so she won't leave him alone. I have had them both following me everywhere. I'm amazed I haven't broken my neck from tripping over one or the other.

pitt83 - 2012-10-21 7:13 PMThat's a huge disruption for him. He'll settle in just fine in the next couple of weeks.

trinnas - 2012-10-21 8:27 PM

Yeah he will settle down and so will Rosie but they both may drive me nuts in the interim. We just came back from going out to dinner. I was mobbed at the door!

pitt83 - 2012-10-21 8:33 PMI've been in the kitchen most of the day. Made fresh bagels for lunch which I started yesterday. Made pasta I fagioli soup for dinner plus an iceberg wedge salad with Roquefort dressing. Have 8 pounds of beef bones simmering since noon making beef stock for tomorrow's French onion soup. Baked a loaf of bread for dinner, but that was just frozen dough and pop in the oven. I'm a big believer in Sunday dinner.

And here I thought you were just a big believer in making me drool!

Daughter came to the lake, she swam, I paddled, we both rode bikes.  The Shrimp Florentine was the best I ever made.  And the weather was just perfect.

Some funny stuff.  I launched the boat from the trailer to return it to the dock after annual service.  I was standing ont he trailer tongue trying to release the retaining pin and just lost my balance.  I landed on my back in shallow water.  JWKMH, "Are you alright?"  Me, "No. I's soaking wet."

When I got to the dock, I had to run up the hill.  I wakened a snake who was sunning himself on the path.  I may have been poisonous.  Its head was wider than its neck.

I lost at Scrabble to G3.  She was pleased.

Ooooh Not Good!!!!

Did you blow any fuses? You can also burn out modules depending on how the car is built.

mehaner - 2012-10-22 6:28 AM

oh yes fuse blown.  car fixed and running, but apparently radio is still not working...so husby has a 50 minute commute, each way, in silence.

mehaner - 2012-10-22 8:27 AM

i promised my dear husband i wouldn't tell anyone who knew him what REALLY happened, but i just HAVE to tell someone, so TAN seemed an appropriate place.

bradleyd3 - 2012-10-22 6:33 AM That whole Red to Red, Black to Black can get pretty confusing.....

Big Appa - 2012-10-22 9:29 AM

The radio might have been fried

Big Appa - 2012-10-22 8:35 AM

Always classy Brad.

mehaner - 2012-10-22 6:42 AM

In-defense of the Mehusband, if you lose those caps on a pre-2000 car, it's hard to remember which post is positive and which is negative. That's why I do some arc welding just to see which is which before I jump my old car...

I guess no radio isn't as bad as no A/C in the summer (been there).  He could listen to his ipod...(waiting for complete outrage to break-out over this one...)
