Yeah, before my connection went away for awhile I was going to say I was glad I could be here tonight, cos the little monkeys are alone on Tuesday nightsā¦.
Ohā¦ hi little monkey, I was justā¦.ā¦umā¦ nothing, reallyā¦. yes, youāre doing fineā¦I know you do all quite well when Iām not here, honestly.
You wouldnāt be working here otherwiseā¦.itās just that youāreā¦. uhā¦. ā¦. so smallā¦. and ā¦such professional little bartenders, yes, of course.
That reminds meā¦.thanks, Monkey, from yesterday.
Another fine invention from X.T.I.?That x_Tech knows what heās doing!I really donāt have a coldā¦ but it could be useful in some other situationsā¦you knowā¦ music festivalsā¦.stores and theaters where thereās never any TP in the stallsā¦.
And itās just so darn attractiveā¦ who wouldnāt want to wear it everywhere?
Meanwhileā¦ if youāre the head grinder operatorā¦.does that make me the 1st under-grinder operator ?
I know itās early butā¦ I am headed for the Tiki !I have had two carpenters in my small apartment installing ( or attempting to install ) baseboard around the place.My head is splitting from the screaming of the power saws and the incessant pounding. The place echoes at the quietest of times, so you can imagine what it is like at the moment. I have no idea when Tweedledee and Tweedledum are going to finish but Iām getting out of here. Thereās no quiet on my galleon , The Irish Rover, because the lads are doing the annual summer overhaul.So the Tiki it is ! Maybe a cup of Monkeyās Mud will clear my head.
My dearest Beviek, I only wish I was the person you think I am. For surely there is no greater aspiration than shooflypie. Consider this; there is only one favor, only one shape and only one possible shoofly. There could never be another any more than Ballard Street could be anywhere else. I applaud your imaginable possibilities. I salute the sleuth. And I am flattered. But it is not so. Not in the stars or in the garages, not on the lawns or in the basements, not in the houses or on the sidewalks, not anywhere to be found. I remain humbly yours, Lefty 2ā¦..
āLight on Light off On off on on on off offā I personally prefer the signal flags or Naval pennantsI heard all that light flashing can cause Vertigo.
Yeah, my man knows the Morse code and we used to play with that and many other odd things in our younger days (I liked the signal flags) and invented secret codes. I remember that I was telling fortunes with Tarot cards and the I Ching, and we played with pyramids (he even contructed a huge pyramid over his bed).
We spent more time studying nutrition and when I started this vegan thing, I discovered that he has tried various tofu dishes and such when we were not hanging out (because I had not until now).
He works so hard (and plans to continue) so he takes very good care of himself.
@Ling, I had a neighbor do this floor (including sub floor and baseboards at 45<) and the adjoining bird room just straight. My floors on this level WERE carpet over concrete slab. All that was not so noisy and I did all the painting during that time. He kept power saws in the garage, so not much dust.
I just looked for photos of the floor and wall. I have no really up-to-date ones in my Flickr, this shows the room with a ceiling fan (replaced with 2 chandeliers in corners) and a metal screen which covered my old computer corner. China cabinet is still there and more of the handhooked flower rugs. Floor and my wall painting show OK and even my stained glass panel. At the other end, it goes up to the kitchen and another neighbor did my red marble tile in the powder room and the stairs.
Donāt forgot Blue Oyster CultDr. Music from Mirrors. Least popular album they made. I thought it was great.My favorite is In TheeāWell Iāll wrap myself in cities I travel,Iāll wrap myself in dreams,Iāll wrap myself in solitude,But I wish I could wrap myself,In thee.ā
Iām not drinking right now either, but sipped a pot of tea just now while out in the pool doing a cool off. @Monkey, the glitter drink sounds interesting; If I were to have something exotic and glittery, Iād mix some Goldwasser with Cointreau and Corvoisier. I can taste that right now (in my imagination) although I have all of them in the pantry.
I may get to bed early tonight since everyone is leaving. I know my man will not Skype tonight as heās been terribly busy in his work. Wish I could be there to make his hot chocolate when he gets home.
HEY BALLADEERS! Just wanted to drop by and say HELLO and save me a good drink and a good sandwich of some sort at the TIKI BAR! Been a busy week with a LOT of annoyances but hopefully, things will get back to normal sooner than later! GOOD NIGHT ALL YOU BSāers! LOL!
Susan , saw your comment from before, :-), I would bet, I am a bit older than you Lady, at least by a couple months or years, I will be 60 in Dec. Oh where do the years go???? I donāt feel old, but I am. I guess. </

Actually this reminds me of some old friendsā¦.I just realised they were Ballard Street prototypesā¦.
Married young as soon as he came home from WWIIā¦Sheād been a high school girl when he leftā¦
Always adored each otherā¦. she admired all his strange hobbies.
He didnāt do signal lamps but in the 1970ās still had a home made telegraphā¦..
Sheād sit across the table, eyes wide, waiting raptly for his translations from Morse code of his chats with his far flung pals.
When I visited, occasionally sheād say āOh this is a good night to be hereā¦. Chuck is going to telegraph tonight!ā
