Not that I have a problem with holidays or days when we are not supposed to be working or even days that I just don’t get excited about much of anything… I really like those… I do hate the day before I have to go to an airport, have to set on an airplane for a long damn time… etc.… I hate packing for the long trip… anyway… I just hate today…
I got up and made my morning walk… about 2.5 miles in about 40 minutes or less? Didn’t really time it. There were a few others out today but still not a big day for activity before noon. College town and most of the occupants in the fall and spring are not moving till noon, unless they really have to. Just as I got back from my walk the cleaning lady showed up so I opted to run into town and have breakfast there. Even though I went to Mc’D’s I had a pretty good breakfast… the oatmeal and apple juice…I like their oatmeal because it has a little fruit in it and not so much sugar as the variety packs I normally eat… I can’t quit go plain old oatmeal… it is way too bland for me… it needs some kick…
Speaking of kick in oatmeal, an old friend of mine from previous a previous job, liked his oatmeal with soy sauce. Damn strange in my books but he swore it was pretty good. I can remember we were on an audit in Canada. At breakfast he ordered oatmeal then asked for some soy sauce to put on it. The waitress asked him at least twice if he was sure and he confirmed to her that he was… She took off to the back and pretty soon we heard the cook yell “WHAT” and then he came and peaked out the door while the waitress brought the soy sauce out and my friend proceeded to “doctor” his oatmeal with it… They all stood there in full amazement… while he proceeded to eat the first few bites… I think they were all going to watch to make sure he eat some of it as they still did not believe what they were seeing… Ed was known for many such “different’” antics… some that we just can’t write up.. other than he was well known for his ability in one particular bodily function… so well known we all had started calling it the “ED”… he swears he does not have that same ability anymore but I would venture that it is like riding a bike… once learned ????
Back to my subject , today… well it was pretty much like yesterday… did a little stuff for work, a little stuff for me… repaired a few antiques, and took a nap in the afternoon… I am getting pretty good at the napping stuff. I guess I better get it in before I get on the plane as that is going to be a killer of a trip… 16+ hours on one plane and about 35 to 40 total before we get into Adelaide…
Since I didn’t get any good pictures today… I have some old ones… that I was reviewing for other things…
My Dad when he was 7…
My Dad and My Uncle, knowing how to have a good time…
That is it for now… guess I will be absent for a few days till I get to ??? where I have access…
