For lack of anything better...

.. to post today, I have for your viewing pleasure..

Happy Friday!

Let's rock it out!

I am from BAH-Ston!!!!!!

Taped up and nowhere to go...

Well... Okay, so the title might be a smidgen misleading.

I went to see my PT this morning about my knee. She did the usual evaluation. She had me stand, walk, bend and sit. After further manipulating that leg, it's been determined I have some inflammation under the knee cap. Yay. :p

She ended up taping up my knee in two places: one over the knee cap and one just under the knee cap. Then she had me do some things to see how much pain I was getting with the tape. She showed me a few exercises to do to help strengthen the muscle around the knee cap and to get it to pull the knee cap in another direction.

Anyway, I need to pick up some of that tape. The tape she put on today is good for a few days, according to her. Maybe I will get my brother to help re-tape on Sunday. My next appointment is on Monday.

Flashback

Sometimes I get the urge to revisit some of the music I listened to back in the 80's (and maybe early 90's). More specifically, stuff from the Boston music scene during that period. I guess while I was in high school, I kinda somehow got into the whole local music scene. Just to give you an idea, here's a sampling of some of my faves.

Enjoy!!

Duck Rescue!

I know it's just a slide show, but the fact that these little guys were rescued was just awesome! Lucky Ducks!

Olbermann's "Special Comment"

This might be the angriest I've seen him.

Mid-Week

For some reason, I find more often than not that I am more likely to post on a Wednesday. I don't know why.

Anyway, the weather has been quite nice in recent days. I should look into getting some stuff potted up, but with the weather forecast for this weekend it might not be so easy. But we'll see.

It seems that out little group of MG fans are falling into a bit of health issues. One has issues with her head. Another has issues with her lungs. And another just has some issues that need to be dealt with. I have my own issues with my knees, but that won't stop me from going. It might stop me from jumping up and down though. Is it all just a case of bad timing or what? Anyway, we'll just wait and see what happens. I think we will dub ourselves the Invalid Groupies. Or, maybe not. XD

Ants!

Well, the other day I came home to discover that ants have infiltrated the home. They were finding their way in via the patio door. After dispatching the ones I could see with the vacuum, I googled to see what home ant repellents can be had. There was ground cinnamon. I have ground cinnamon. So I sprinkled some of that all along the track of the patio door and sprinkled cinnamon where ever they might be able to get through. I wanted a barrier to stop these pests! Then later I squirted a little bit of dish detergent. It had orange extract which is suppose to be a repellent of sorts for ants. Whatever works!

I eventually got some stuff with diatomaceous earth. This is a "safer" and chemical-free way to dispatch these things.

This morning, I went over to the nearby nursery to look for plants. This season, I figure I'd use the planters an place them around the patio/deck. I picked up a few perennials to plant in the front of the house.

Later this afternoon, I weeded the front yard a bit. I mowed the grass there. I cultivated the earth around the plants that were coming up. It looks like there's at least 3 hostas in the front. There's a dark purple plant as well. I saw this one at the nursery, but I don't remember what it was called.

I think I did alright today.

Ouch!

Random Tuesday Thoughts

Ball players are like rock stars. They have their female fans and following.

Recently, there were reports about Roger Clemens dalliances with a 15 year old back when he was 28 years old and married. Now comes allegations that he had a fling with yet another woman. This kind of reminds me of the movie "Major League" where a few of the celebrating players were partying it up with some hot chicks. These ball players are very well paid and very visible personalities. In some cases they're seen as heroes of the diamond. It's no wonder some women will go after them just as some women go after rock stars.

Anyway...

Frozen chicken wontons. These were not as good as this other frozen wonton I bought. the chicken ones were like over-processed chicken filling. The other ones I've had were, I think, of the same brand, just different flavor. I guess I'll have to try again.

Depending on what's happening this weekend, if I get my BSG DVDs from Amazon this week, it might be a BSG marathon weekend. I know that it's also Mother's Day weekend. I was thinking of maybe a small bbq on Saturday if I get around to checking on the state of the grill. We'll see. Maybe I'll just shoot off a few emails just to see who's around and interested.

I've still got a bin full of stuff I packed from the bathroom lying around. I need to sort through all of that. Since I haven't really had a need for anything in there recently, then I assume that at least half the stuff could be thrown out.

The entertainment unit that could not be moved up to the top floor has been put up for sale. I still need to take a photo to go with the ad. I suspect that it will have to be partially taken apart in order for it to be moved more efficiently and safely. I don't any more dings in the walls around the stairs.

Fussy eaters. Blue Sh*t has turned his nose up at Medi-Cal Reduced Protein after deciding in the end he prefered the Prescription Science Diet k/d with chicken. Then I decided to get some regular k/d for him to try. He seemed to prefer this over the k/d chicken. However, he will eat the k/d chicken if it's fresh out of the can. Go figure.

So enough babbling for now.
