is it too late in the day for elevensies?
Wonder what I can eat soon.
Going home from Ocean Beach, Fire Island, heading across The Great South Bay... Yesterday...
Wasn't a bad day... A little humid and a bit breezy, but nice.
Wow, very nice!

Sounds good. I just ran out so can't make daily salad with dinner. Quite bummed.
It is hot outside.
I thought I was being attacked by a phantom bug as I could not see it, but every so often now I see a fly, so it is not a phantom bug. Now I wish I had a fly swatter. Why are those things so annoying?
Weather continues to be tolerable. Warm during the day, cool at night, rain only at night. I keep waiting for the shoe to drop and I start melting under a whithering heat wave.
(It's the pessimist in me.)
I almost satisfied a long demanding itch to buy a new computer but I decided that since my computer was actually still working and my poor saggy bed wasn't, I should throw that money at a new mattress and springs. I had learned my lesson and decided not to buy a cheap mattress, (one gets what one pays for). This time I opted for a quality product with the proper firmness for me, with a guarantee, and delivery & removal of old mattress & springs included in the price. A little more expensive but in the long run this will hopefully be the last bed I have to buy and I will enjoy not having to climb out of a hole to get out of bed.
Promise to self: Self will buy a new computer next year.
Complaint: I'm continuing to try to watch episodes of the old TV show "Space 1999", but keep choking on the bad, ignorant science, corny plots and dismal acting. Talk about one dimensional acting. What's'er'name only ever has one expression on her face and is always a Debbie Downer.
What's'is'name is in a continual panic.
And just how many of those spaceships did they have on that moon base anyway? Every episode they blow them up as if they were munching down on M&Ms.
But I keep watching. (It's the masochist in me.)
Aww, come on, it was a fun show to watch. Make it a drinking game...every time they blow up an Eagle, take a shot. Before long, you won't care that the science is wrong!

No-see-ums.

A few years back I got a "free gift" from Harbor Freight that came with my order... It was an Electronic Fly-Swatter... I never really used it because it looks like a ridiculous yellow plastic tennis racket.
You are supposed to use it like a tennis racket to smack flying insects out of the air, electrocuting them as they pass between the metal grids...
I dismissed it as stupid and hung it on the shop wall... Then one day I grabbed it to whack a fly that was bothering me... Instead I hit something else...
Fried between the grids was a mosquito.
Now I take it with me when I work out in the woody areas out back... I wave it around ever few minutes and it zaps most of the mosquitoes waiting to bite me... I can get ten or more per crazy waving fit... It's actually way more effective than bug repellent and its evilly satisfying seeing them sizzling on the grids.
I look crazy waving it around... But really, I look crazy doing 80% of any of the stuff I'm ever doing.
Blood sucking insects...wonderful. Mosquitoes weren't enough? Vampires are real...they're just not humanoid.

Ten with one blow!
Are you a tailor?

I can look fairly crazy just quietly sitting still.
Yeah, I'm going to buy a new AC adapter for the tablet. I should buy a new power strip too because it is at least 15 years old. The power indicator light on the strip is out. My lamp and external hard drive are plugged into that power strip.
EVS - Electronic vampire swatter
Can also be used to keep all manner of obstinate larger creatures in line.
I like food especially good food that is yummy to eat.
Something bit my foot and it itches.
My computer needs to be charged soon I think as it is starting to complain about low battery?
Morning. Glowy yellow sun in clear frosty blue sky struggling to compete with chill concrete paving still giving up after a freezing night :)
What is plantar when referring to foot pain?
No, not in one blow... Occasionally two at once... but unfortunately no... Just in one swatting conniption...
Like: "Get...swat-swat...Away...swat-swat-ZAP-swat-swat... From...swat-swat-Grrrrrr...Swat-ZAP-swat-ZAP... me... Swat-ZAP-Swat-ZAP-Swat-swat-ZAP... Grrrrrr... Swat-swat-ZAP...You miserable...Swat-ZAP-swat-swat-ZAP-swat-ZAP-swat... Insects!!!"
Actually with more swatting, more growling sounds and a lot of very explicit curse words.
But that would be cool.
Same here... It's an art form that so, so many people don't fully comprehend or appreciate.
I believe it's a type of wart one gets from a virus... I should check on that before I say stuff...
*******Googled "Plantar"****
Okay... I checked and I got the wart right but forgot about plantar fasciitis... Which I think is some sort of inflammation of the foot tendon or tissue or something... I probably should have read it and not just went "oh yeah, that too...!"
******Googled it again*****
Plantains are big bananas you cook... Wait... I must have misspelled that...
**** Googling it again ****
Its an inflammation of the tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes... That sounds odd... My heel isn't connected to my toes...
**** Googling it again ****
Yup... Big bananas... I love fried plantains... Both the crispy ones and the sticky ones.
Oh...
**** Googling it again ****
Well... The word "Plantar" refers to the sole of the foot...
I'm gonna level with you... I've had a few beers... This isn't going to be very helpful or informative... And all its done is make me really want some fried plantains... I could really go for the crispy ones with a little salt, the way my step grandfather used to make them... It would go great with the beer... If I had beer... I'm actually drinking hard lemonade which kinda sucks because it's watermelon-lemonade flavor which really tastes like a jolly rancher dissolved in a wine cooler... I probably should have read the box... I have three more of these horrible things to finish before I can move on to the less horrible flavors...
Sorry... I hope your foot feels better.
It's some weird aristocratic peanut dressed in a '30s style monocle, tuxedo top hat, spats & cane. Especially painful if you find one imbedded in your foot.
my mind went straight to mr peanut
after mr peanut went to the monacled monopolyl guy
sounds interesting. how much zap does it give?
like more than touching a metal file cabinet while statically charged?
I'm considering a cattle prod to use on my daughter's dog. He slips his collar and goes through or over the gate he tore up. Hero, my a$$.
