Gonna get the car worked on today, in preparation for an Easter road trip to New Orleans.

Scarab Sages

Sometimes it creeps me out when I realize I'm old enough to be the father of some posters.

Scarab Sages

Had a nice dinner date with the wife last night. Love when daycare has Parent's Night Out.

Just a bit ago, on Facebook, an old friend of mine and Fraternity Brother was tagged in a photo with another Fraternity Brother. They were attending their 25th highschool reunion. Hadn't seen either of them in forever. In fact, last time I spoke to my good friend was shortly after my boy was born.

Sad. I miss my friend. Here's hoping this leads to getting back in touch with him.

Scarab Sages

And it's looking to be a beautiful day here in Texas. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. I'm almost done with my second cup of coffee.

Scarab Sages

Damn! Too much to do today, and not enough hours in the day.


*blink*

Long night shift in hostile territory. Ora pro me!

Scarab Sages

Long, busy day. Not all pleasant.

Scarab Sages

And now I've got a headache that won't go away.

Scarab Sages

Another busy day. At least it has been not unpleasant, so far.

Scarab Sages

Tonight, I shall clean and sanitize some bottles, in preparation for bottling on Wednesday.

Scarab Sages

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!


Cut your hand while sanitizing bottle?

Scarab Sages

F+##ing stoopid week. You can go to hell, end of March.

Scarab Sages

Mrgh.

I was recently made aware the hydraulic portion of my project needs some added filters and instruments. The Shell people were supposed to mark up those drawings appropriately, yet they did not. Somehow, though, I have a feeling my company is going to get the blame entirely. That seems to be the way the Shell project engineer works.

Scarab Sages

Because, of course, he is a severe a!#*!##. And a backstabbing one, to boot.

Scarab Sages

Short day today. The company gives Good Friday as a paid holiday. Since my Friday's are (per one of three allowed work schedules) always four-hour days, and we get 8 hours of holiday leave, I get to use 4 hours tomorrow, and 4 today. So my typical 9-hour Thursday turns into a 5-hour Thursday.

Huzzah!

Scarab Sages

And now, I go to do stuff and drink more coffee.

Scarab Sages

Long day. Got up at 0315, packed up the car and kids, and drove in to NOLA for the Easter weekend. At least, in leaving that early, we avoided all the tons of traffic.

My younger brother and his family are already here. Brother number three and his family are probably here by now...

Already visited and had lunch with my mom. She's getting by ok. I can see she's still getting used to the new normal of not having dad around.

Scarab Sages

Almost can't believe I've gone this long without Popeyes.

Scarab Sages

Otherwise....mrgh.

Scarab Sages

It was a cuddles with baby girl morning.

Scarab Sages

Followed by a bacon and coffee morning.

Scarab Sages

Truly, I am blessed.


Treasure it man. Treasure It

Scarab Sages

Happy Easter to one and all!!!

Scarab Sages

Good day at my mom's house yesterday. Great food. Family. Fun.

Not so much fun for my mom. She kept having a bad pain in her side. My younger brother finally took her to the hospital. Turns out, she had the beginnings of Shingles. Now she's got some pain and shingle meds.

Scarab Sages

Busy day. Sick baby girl. Among other things.

Looks like it's going to be one of those crappy weeks.


Yep. I have my hip waders on and a clothespin on my nose. I'm just hoping the river of s#+! that is my life doesn't go over my head.

One thing I am happy about. My RPG collection is worth some money (well...parts of it at least)

Scarab Sages

Take heart, my simian-avatar friend. Things will get better. This is an awesome and beautiful world we live in, full of magic and wonder.

And the magic and wonder are always better than any river of s@++.

Scarab Sages

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Plus, I love you like a brother. So that's got to count for a lot.

Scarab Sages

Because it's me. I'm awesome!

Scarab Sages

My poor baby girl has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Sad. Here's hoping she starts to feel better today.

The wife stayed home with her for this second day. I shall offer to replace her tomorrow, if we still need to keep her home by then.

Hell, I may even try to take off a bit early today, just to give her a break.

Scarab Sages

That's one of those things that sucks ass about no longer working for the federal government. We can't just take off as much as we need whenever there's a sick kid, or one of us is sick.

Scarab Sages

If there's one thing I've learned from watching certain "terrible controversies" over the last year or so....there are many little trolls in this world who whine when you beat them at their own game.

Scarab Sages

On the other hand...I caught up with the most important of my TV shows! HUZZAH!!!

Scarab Sages

And, I'm going to make some mead this Friday. It's going to be in preparation for my Fraternity chapter's 30th anniversary. A special batch, which I will likely hand out in 12 ounce bottles.

Scarab Sages

Now with mixed berry honey!

Mmmmmm.......


Attention AZ,

I have just seen on TV that a German entrepreneur has opend a restaurant chain of the best Fast Food on the Planet. The turkish-german

Döner Kebab !!!

Verts Kebab it is called and has restaurants in Austin and Houston

you need to go there and tell me how you liked it

Scarab Sages

I found a Verts Kebap. Not sure if it's the same thing.

Here is the website.

Scarab Sages

But it's in downtown Houston. The chances of me making it down that way any time soon are......slim.

Scarab Sages

Still, if that is the place, I'll keep it in mind. Might make a suitable run for the next Parent's Night Out date.

Scarab Sages

Baby girl is still not feeling well, although she is doing much better today. So we kept her home again, and I stayed with her to give mommy a break.

Scarab Sages

So far, it's been a not too bad morning.

Scarab Sages

And she seems to have gotten her appetite back, which would be a big improvement.

Scarab Sages

For now, however, she's sleeping. Which means daddy gets a bit of a break.

yes, that is the one, the owners are Germanwith Turkish roots, so it may be autentic

Scarab Sages

baby girl is back in school today, so I'm back in the office and playing a bit of catch-up since yesterday.
