Father's Day Means 'Me Time'

 I went to the pub yesterday. I wasn't going to, but I got bored and so headed out. I made the excuse as I drove to the VFW that I needed to see if they had gotten in the shipment of Devil's Devil, as the Oldest Son wanted to try it out possibly today. But I was good, and left the VFW early, though stopped at another of the watering holes on the way home. I still made it home early (well, way earlier than a usual Saturday) and was in bed by about 9:30. Then RM texted and woke me...but it was no big deal. 

So this morning I slept in a bit. The Middle Son had texted HFD to me already this morning. Probably when he got off work. It's only 8:30, so haven't heard from the other three. Not expecting gifts either... just texts. The Oldest Son said he wanted to spend time with me, and I am hoping he will, though I know he needs his sleep during the days (he works nights as well.

So nothing of import to share today. RM shared a short memory of her dad. I thought about sharing some of mine, but I just don't feel like sharing today. They are my memories, and I think I will keep them to myself.

Happy For the Weekend ...

 I'm happy that the weekend has finally arrived. True, that means that I do not have to get up for work, yet I am still up this morning at 5am. I guess the sleeping habits are working well.

No major plans this weekend. I need to take up the battery from one of our cars to the auto store to have them see if it is chargeable, then get it charged. If not, buy a new one. This is on the car that will be the Youngest's. A few nights ago, the Wife had stepped out front around 9pm and one headlight was on the car. The key fob wouldn't unlock the car, and it was dead when she tried to turn it over, yet had enough battery to light one headlight. Lights were turned off, but yet it was on. I had to unhook the battery to get it to go off. I read online there is a light sensor that warranty covers, but have to get it running in order to get it anywhere to be looked at. Weird situation though...

So after that I pretty much have no major plans today. Might do some little things around the house. Sunday afternoon the Oldest Son and I are supposed to hook up for a couple hours. He has not committed yet, to a time or otherwise, but we will see what happens. Sunday is Fathers Day, so it would be nice.

Speaking of ... RM, just a reminder PT can have his card now...

Okay, enough of this sitting here collecting dust in my head.

One Week Off

 Yesterday, I realized I goofed up. Thursday I had put some mail out to be picked up, including a Father's Day card for PT. I did it thinking, since he is here in town, a couple days to get there, in time for Sunday... except Father's Day is NEXT week. So I texted RM, to see if she can run mail interference, get the card so that PT doesn't open before then. Well, I actually said to call me this morning after 8am, but here I have been up since 6:30.... When she calls I'll ask.

Wrote out a couple book reviews this morning that have been piling up. I believe I am on the last book (currently reading) that will need a review. Which means, of course, I went through the sites this morning , requesting some more (I think only two requests), plus any previous ones still pending. I might be able to get back to my regular reading list soon. At today's count, I've read 103 books so far this year (16 books ahead of schedule for the goal of 200). I can gladly say, there have been a good number of good books (IMO) this year, or to be coming out this year.

Not sure what weekend plans are, as I don't think I have any. The Wife said this morning her weekend is fairly clear as well. I do need to get to the pharmacy to pick up the last prescription, otherwise, I got nothing.

Work will continue into next week. I did get an email to start a new project Mon/Tue, but since they still have work for me on this one, I will stay on it for now. The new one has a time frame of two weeks, whereas now I am heading into week 5 of a 4-week project. But, I am doing higher level stuff... it works out in the end.

The Weekend is Upon US

 Saturday has arrived, and I am the only one awake at 5:30am to start enjoying it. Not that I want to up this early, just the old body decided it had enough sleep and it was time. Nothing major really planned. I know I need to get to the pharmacy to get my prescriptions (the Wife said she has one for pick-up as well). I kind of want to get over to the Discount Grocery to see what they have this week, and also the regular Fry's for some soda. So in a couple hours I may be doing some errands. The Wife mentioned last night she wants to get some more of her flowers planted. I suggested she get the Youngest out there and see about some trimming/mowing, too, but doubt that will happen.

The Wife heard from the Daughter that her and her family will be up this weekend! The Wife has been down their way a couple times since I was last able to see them. Not that my Doodad wants anything to do with her Papaw at this stage, but I do love her so and enjoy seeing her. As well as the Daughter and SIL. I had emailed him this last week finally, giving him some spec ideas I want put into a custom build PC that he has agreed to help with. I don't have all the tech and know-how, and he has done both computers they have. He knows where to shop and how to build it. I just gave him 'what I want's, and gave him a financial ceiling. Can't wait for a few months and get this new one.

Work is still flowing. Yesterday when I logged in, I had work specified for me. My TL had to leave early, and no other work had been added, so when I finished what I had been assigned, I logged for the day. Didn't hit my weekly 40, but at least I am still working. She had mentioned that come Monday there would be more for me, no problem. Yay to that.

Father's Day is coming up in a couple weeks. I guess when I go to the pharmacy, I'll see if they have cards out yet, and get one for PT. Maybe a gift card for a local restaurant, or a pre-paid Visa to go with. Would have time to mail it since I don't get out their way much. When we did the late BDay dinner with the Oldest Son. he and I were talking about whiskeys at one point. I mentioned that one day I would have to get him down to the VFW to try out the Devil's Devil by Jesse James Dupree. They have a case on order and might be in by that Sunday. So we made arrangements for he and I to meet up Father's Day for a couple hours and go down and try some. I was there the other day, and the Chairman made a call to find out when it was going to arrive for me, but had to leave a message, so not sure at this point. Good stuff that whiskey is. Made with capuscian (sp?) peppers for the cinnamon taste, gives it a nice warm bite.

Welp, I got not much to add, I suppose. For RM, while at the VFW talking to a bud named Jon, he said he was flying his brother out here from McMinnville, TN. I mentioned that you were from that area, and said '"Thar's a lotta dem Rigsbys down in that area", and he mentioned the last name, but I can't remember it, and added that the families prolly knew each other. Just one of them 'small thoughts' things....
