Back to the library today - only noon to five though, given the Saturday hours.

BHK put in a lot more steam than me - I toook a break midday for a stretch and a walk - picked up a flash drive to put sugar on a stick . Now we're home, and I'm taking another break.

One of these question things - Haven't done one in a bit.

I was doing research on gigs, and BHK studying. 11-6:30 today, where the internet connection is reliable, and less distractions.

grabbed a bagel at panera for lunch break

researched a bit more and then we watched a guy doing a presentation on shadow puppets... a lot of fun!

Dinner at Ruby Tuesday - strike two after the first home run. We may be back, though, since our new Neighbor Philmena said that they have great mojitos.

Lyrics to current music - just came over pandora - I'd never heard it before on my channel -

You've heard of Ali-Baba
Forty thieves had he
Out for what we all want
Lots of LSD

He also had a camel
Stole it from a zoo
How he loved the camel
And the camel loved him too
(Oh, how the camel loved Ali-Baba!)

Ali-Baba's camel loved Ali-Baba so
No matter where he went to the camel had to go
Some say he's in heaven, but this I know is true
Wherever you think Ali's gone, his camel's gone there too

Crossing the equator, ooo, how hot is was
Poor old Ali-Baba cursed and swore because
He was so very thirsty, and everybody knows
It's horrible to walk for miles with sand between your toes.
(Oh, how the camel loved Ali-Baba!)

Ali Baba's camel turned 'round and licked his hand
He said, oh Ali-Baba, I surely understand
We must find an oasis and get a drink somehow
But hark, I hear the temple bells, they'll all be open now.
(Bleah bleah. Glorious beer, fills you right up with it... aaahh)

They entered for the races and the desert sports
There goes Ali's camel in his filthy cotton shorts
The starter cracked his pistol off the camels hared
Ali-Baba's camel wins by half a camel's hair
(Hey, Ali-Baba! Hey, Ali-Baba! Your camel loves you! Your camel loves you!)

Ali-Baba's camel had run for miles and miles
His tail was pointing backwards, that's how a camel smiles
But Ali and his camel they both were out of breath
They'd run so far, they'd loved so much,
They laughed themselves to death

Oh, gather around the campfire, sing a roundelay,
But don't sing out of tune, now. ('Cause eggs are cheap today!)
Sing of Ali-Baba, sing about his men
Sing about his camel, then sing it all again
(Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba)

Ali-Baba's camel loved Ali-Baba so
No matter where he went to that camel had to go
Some say he's in heaven, but this I know as well
Wherever you think Ali's gone, his camel's gone to....

Apparently the IME (independent medical exam) claims that I'm back to where I was before my fall. Nope- not so. Fortunately, I'm still good for one more epidural with them, and then it goes to my regular insurance.

Hell, as long as I don't have to pay more than a minimum to get fixed to a point where I can function, whatever works. Apparently, I missed my #3 injection due to Denise the receptionist's oversight - she claimed I was unable to get the shot due to worker's comp not being properly phrased.

We'll see how this turns out.

In other news - BHK and I may go see our Tuesday movie, or we might go on walkabout in a bit. time will tell, dear journal.

Looking for a ew renter for out Deerfield beach condo - old tenant is great, but he moves back to Brazil this month.

Bear Scare in Ohio cracks me up.

magnetic disturbance - lost in the restricted area?

tigger loves vacation!

Ugh... really feeling out of it today. Not sure if it's medicine, combination of aches, or just having a "hormonal" day, but I think I'm being overly stressed out and hypersensitive.

Pictures from this afternoon's walk - trying to stop back or noggin from bugging me.

Quest for Kitties, Froggies, Cute Kids, Bunnies and Flowers! Mission Accomplished!

Below is the neighborhood rabbit, a frog found in the bottom of our swimming pool, Pumpkin the cat, the north beach boardwalk pov of the bay, many flowers, a cat that looks a lot like a brown version of Pyewacket, Neighborhood Kitties of all sorts - tuxedo, tabby, kitten and adult.

BHK cheered me up with the walk, her very presence, and just letting me rest today.

at whitmans for breakfast - happy 4th of july! i have no idea why they have a head in the franklin stove
--

Third of July. The twin beaches always celebrate a day early, because everyone likes to go to DC or someplace else for the 4th.

Andrew was looking dapper, and the fireworks were a-ok by me. we spent the day grilling - thankfully, it was cool and comfy at windward key. I grilled the dogs and etc, while bhk made a funfetti cake.

We played some Can't stop, Huggermugger and of course, apples to apples. I was hoping for a little try at dictionary dabble  (aka Balderdash, but dabble has much cooler pawns)

.........................

BHK took most of the Dock pics, I experimented a bit with the camera settings for the fireworks.

Recapping -

Got my 401k comp check from my last gig - That worked out well. I told a little fib to BHk, and said that I expected about $500, and we got about eight times that amount. (I was planning for about six times.)

Went to Annapolis and promptly deposited that little windfall in the bank - then stopped off at the Amish Farmer's Market for breakfast. BHK and I split two - ate half and then swapped Chocolate Chip Pancakes, home fries, cheddar cheese omelet, wheat toast - I let BHK eat up all of the bacon, of course.

Opted out of going to a movie - nothing we want to see just this moment.. maybe next week when it's less crowded.  We did get a few other goodies at the farmer's market - cheese, strawberries, trinket's for our 4'th of July cake (gummy stars and confetti sprinkles), a blueberry fritter for me for tomorrow's breakfast (or tonight's midnight snack)

BHK remembered that I was due for shots (skipped when em was here) and we went there for a bit. Adam called, and mentioned that he was coming down for the 3rd's fireworks, an was bringing Anna - so, it was a quick trip to the grocery to be sure he had a full belly.

I was feeling pretty out of it at that point, so I rested in the car. Going to nap now that we're home. sweet dreams, dear journal.

added for no reason, except that I like Em and Otters -

happy birthday. pyewacket!
 

happy 4th of july from the atw man - watch your fingers!
--

note - seen after we went out too catch the Land of the Lost Movie today - I rather liked it, and I'm a fan of the original show.

emily lost her other top tooth!

 Went over to Chris and Mandy's for a cookout and general socializing - nice day, and the people were conversational and friendly. I missed out on the good eats because it seems that the antibiotics I'm taking don't work well with cereal-milk - had a sourbelly all day. 

Chris and Mandy (and Sarah and James/John?) seem like really fun folks to hang with - Philomena next door looks like a wonderfull addition to the neighborhood too. maybe we can all get together for a game night sometime - or maybe a boy's night and a gal's night split sometime, too?

tired as all get out - still recovering from our little visitor - but it's a good tired. I'm looking forward to Bugah's visit in two weeks! It should be interesting to see the shift form a 6 year old girl to 11 year old boy!

BHK is still recovering too - sh'es more resilient than I am!

Machine is back to work, newtcam is online again!

parked and waiting for misti, neil and bugah to meet us for lunch and then take emily back after her week with us. maybe while we're across state lines, we'll pick up some fireworks on the cheap! jaw is still a little sore from yesterday's tooth extraction, but not nearly so bad as yesterday after the numb-drugs wore off. since misti and company were running a little late, we stopped off at the amish market and picked up a dozen ears of corn (13 to the dozen there) a chocolate shoo fly pie(no tallow or lard) and an assortment of homemade cookies. bhk got me a lemon whoopie pie and em got a cup of sweet mint tea. recovery disks off to a good start reinstalling windows on d4100y - should be done with reboot cycle by the time we get home.

 had my tooth pulled - crown was too far gone to save. may get a bridge sometime after I get work. That's $198 for those keeping track of uninsured costs at home! 

packed down with cotton gauze - sound and look a bit like brando. 

em, bhk and i went to the marine museum - my crown fell out, but ems loose tooth is still in her head. rode the wm tennison and saw lots of osprey nests, not to mention jellyfish and otters

em, bhk and I are at 5 guys - later, we're going to do / see some mad science, including a glowing pickle and an exploding potato - earlier, bhk and I taught her how to force at minimum a stalemate in tic tac toe / trip trap trop (swedish version of the game). em and bhk spent some time in our pool today, while i rested for a bit - back is tricking up. lots of snap beans in the garden harvested, too! i'm going to miss em when she leaves this weekend.

richard, bruce and lulubelle agree that the movie "imagine that" was a directorial mess and not very entertaining. emily liked it, but bhk and I agree with the plastic dashboard animals (air pressure gauge, pencil sharpener and plastic kids meal toy). after the movie, we picked up sneakers for bhk, boxer shorts for me, and some fireworks for tonight. i have heard more hannah montana and high school musical tunes this week than ever before. penance for something... what, i'm not sure.
