El Mimbreno

Based on the last x-rays, pretty sure shoulders have the final say. The left especially says a lot, "crunch, pop, grind..."

"Oh damn, I thought that was an elk!"

Don't forget October 14! Everyone ready?

Yikes! L has that problem, but usually not that bad. And new MA at our clinic is really good.
Gym and few groceries. Tried some upper exercises, shoulders really pissed. Finish groceries today and hit Foxworth for BOGO paint sale.
Garden visitor couple years ago:

OK @govpritzker.illinois.gov , fire the bastards. Every damn one.

But... but... what if I don't want to de-escalate?

WTAF??!!

...With a rusty fence post.

Trump is forcing the military to our cities, intimidating Americans and distracting troops from their core missions.

It's unconstitutional—we can't act like it's business as usual.

I'm blocking the NDAA until we secure a hearing to investigate this gross abuse of our military.

Nice little dawn sprinkle, looks like a tenth or so. Baked loaf of overnight sourdough. Gym today, check local grocery ad first. L started salsa, we'll finish today, looks like 3 pints plus.

Haven't made those in ages. Hmm.
Spent morning with grouchy guts, but got a few things done PM. Coat of white roof coating on the hot tub cover. Manure tilled into garlic bed. Tiller hard to start, probably time for a tune up kit.

"you are a member of the Team Scalise Conservative grassroots network."
Like hell I am, but I keep getting their emails. Unsubscribe didn't work, so I'm replying with nasty comments.

Riiight.

Good fucking morning to everyone except the ICE agents who shot a Chicago priest in the head with a pepper ball from a rooftop yesterday. Real law enforcement officers don’t have to wear a mask to do their job. You’re cowards.

Not for an invasive species.

Ran out of time and energy.

Can be pretty potent when it's fresh, but composting tames it down.

We built this to hide the septic tank covers with the intention of putting potted plants on it. We do occasionally.
Got a couple of big bags of composted manure on closeout, at least one will get tilled into the garlic bed today. Allow 2 months for everything to blend before planting mid-December.

A little bedtime sprinkle, nothing measurable. Did get the deck stained and most of the bench, top and the sides visible from the deck. Finish another time. OTOH, going to have to replace the lattice in the next couple of years anyway.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Supposed to be MOON effect.

No problem with the mood effect, as long as you don't start howling.
Gym Mon, need more than once a week. Bunch of little putter projects. Quick trip to Silver today. Few groceries and supplies for more little projects. Cloudy but no rain until tonight - stain deck & bench. Hopefully.

It appears the lettering on the first shield says "POLICIA".

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

Maybe it's dietary? Just waiting for the second half of the expression to be fulfilled.

Undocumented people are not eligible to enroll in Medicare and Medicaid. Republicans are pushing this lie to distract Americans from the fact that they refuse to vote to keep marketplace health care premiums from skyrocketing. Don't fall for it.

Jeffries: "Republicans enacted permanent tax breaks for the wealthy, well-off, and well-connected. Permanent tax breaks. And now the nerve of these people to say to us that 'we do not have the time or inclination to address the ACA tax credits for working-class Americans'"

Night lows creeping down, 45 last night. Mowed rough edges, pulled some weeds, unrolled hose. Both worked on outdoor wall decor. Gym today, maybe stain if clouds move in.
