Was getting ready to leave the house a couple of hours ago and just happened to turn on the TV in time to catch this

Picked out the puppy today. The gf is much happier now.
Also, pretty sure the waitress at the restaurant we stopped at was hard core flirting with me.
Awesome. I'll keep that in mind. I've never played diamond dynasty. Bought the game for the first time since 2015, and I just head straight to playing RTTS. I honestly have never played the show online. I would probably suck at it, but it'd be fun.
Got about 2 hrs of single track time in on the fat bike today. Another hour of just road riding. We'll see how my legs and bum feel, maybe break out the road bike tomorrow night.
So the vixen and I spent most of the afternoon in the yard, planting petunias, marigolds, geraniums, etc. I ran the shovel and she did the planting. 
Also decided to paint the house this summer - we going from a darker aqua shade (yeah, I know, it sounds bizarre but we get lots of good comments) to a dark gray. I used cement board siding when I built the house in 2005, and the paint looks good but it's starting to fade.

Alright, someone help me with logistics here.
We just got a note from our landlord, saying they're spraying for pests this coming Tuesday. No prob, that's the usual, although seems a bit late this season. Here's the kicker. They want everything removed from our kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and NOT set on the countertop so that "they can spray well". (As I'm typing this, I wonder if they mean drawers too) ANYWAY!
I have probably 1.75 set of dishes (don't ask), an overabundance of glasses and mugs, not to mention my pots & pans and some other things that need to be removed. My dining room table is nowhere big enough to fit all of that stuff safely. Plus, there's not a lot of floor space. I ain't packing this stuff away like I"m moving just to unpack it. We have wooden TV trays we could use...and we could also wait until Tuesday to run the dishwasher. That'll help. And I know there's a DH Monday night, followed by an early Tuesday morning for me. (DH = doubleheader, not CG's husband. That would be weird.)
That requirement threw one of those huge, red, heavy wrenches into this weekend. /rant
@SaraV, this reminded me of the worst day of my life - we were living in St. Joseph, MO - an armpit of a town if there ever was one - and lived in an apartment that was 50% below grade. One morning I walked in the kitchen, turned on the light, and cockroaches scattered.
(Yikes!) I called the landlord, they told me we had to leave the apartment for several hours as they were going to use a "bomb" to get rid of them.
The two oldest were 8 and 4, so we spent the day at a water park. On the way home, we picked up a few groceries. As I unlocked the door, I heard a hissing sound.....wtf? Is the bomb still going off? I carefully peered around the door, there sat the bomb on the floor, nothing happening. What's making that noise?
As I walk down the hall, the carpet starts squishing under my feet.....the water supply for the vanity had broken loose, and water is spitting all over. I get it turned off (thankfully they had put a shutoff valve on the line) and call the landlord again. So they send over a guy with a big wet/dry vac, and he vacs up most of the water.
We had to take everything out of the cabinets before they would bomb, so all our dishes, pots and pans, etc are sitting on the floor in the bedrooms. We decided to order pizza, and had supper. Put the kids to bed.....about an hour later Jodie throws up in her bed. So - we put new sheets on, throw the yucky ones in the bathtub (wash them tomorrow), and put Jodie back in bed. About 15 minutes later, she throws up again.
Needless to say, we were both glad to see that day end.
One of the neighbors has it.
Wife was having company one night, decided she thought it was also time for the Christmas tree to come down. Had a stupid real one then, man I disliked real ones. Not much time to get this done. Everyone comes into our garage walk in door so I drug it out the front and put it around the edge of the front little porchy thing. Next morning I decide to take it to the city pile. It is gone. I search all over for it, it is truly gone.
A month and a half later I come home and see it squarely in the middle of our front lawn. Still don't know what happened.
It is work out day and I don't feel like working out since I spent yesterday helping load a yuge U-Haul truck. That is a violation of Boxsters Prime Directive, Never Help People Move, That's For Paid Movers. Made a special exception for eldest niece. Glad I drove over to La Crosse since they didn't have anyone else helping. Cannot picture my niece, who might go 105 or so, lifting much of that stuff. They did drop off my new TV stand on the way to Montana, overnighted here last night. Unloaded it this morning. It seemed to have gotten much heavier overnight. Specs say it weighs 190 lbs. Throw in the shiny hard to grip cherry wood finish and it's not something I want to lift up any more ramps or stairs. Woof.
This all seems like normal family and regular life stuff I don't engage in much. Plus retired guy was up before 0700, WTF is happening to me!

My son got his driver permit on Friday. Two neighbor boys got theirs on the same day. This neighborhood just got a whole lot less safe.
Last summer I went on the single track with my daughter. I didn't quite make one turn, hit a log and flew about 15 feet. The other day, I had a couple of friends over on the porch and she told them the story. She said it was the only time that she's heard me swear. After I crashed, I evidently walked over to the bike, picked it up, threw it, and yelled, "F'in SOB!"
Well I'm wide awake now (not that I wasn't already awake!). Driving to work and car coming towards me decides to cross the center line with not nearly enough time for me to stop. I slam the brakes and start swerving right but there's not a chance in hell I don't at best get hit in my 2nd door. At least wanted to avoid head on/driver's side. Then she swerves back with an "I'm sorry wave" yeah, **** off. I don't know what the **** they were doing, texting, maybe? Bright sunny day, no animals, potholes, crap in the road. Flat stretch of road. No idea.
