The little things

We got anew local grocery store and they have a sushi place inside.

I know grocery store sushi doesn't sound great, but the closest place is hours farther away and this sushi is great

I eat Publix sushi all the time- non restaurant sushi has made amazing strides.

That may not belong in the little things thread, that's huge! Fantastic news. Made my day.

I've not had it from Publix since I only get to visit those on vacation, but my local Kroger now employs a sushi chef. It. Is. Excellent.

Yet another beautiful, sunny spring day in Denver and I managed to get out for a bike ride. Being disabled and immunocompromised has made the last few months tough so it really helped my overall mood.

In reply to tb (Forum Supporter) :

Hell yeah. I bet the weather in Denver is amazing rn.  Hit the morning chat on Friday too, it helps me quite a bit chatting with y'all online even though we've not ever actually met. 
 

In a similar vein, I took the motorbike out for two minutes, literally. <4 wheels is just better somehow. 

A Ford "small six" with an open header sounds awesome and is still quiet enough that you can't hear it cruising on the highway. It is in the muffler shop now and will be properly quiet again this afternoon. It's not my car, and I wouldn't have ever gone through the trouble of a header swap, but it is cool. for some reason hearing that car sound that mean made me happy.

Tomorrow we celebrate that in 2002 this kid got put on a plane in Korea and came to be part of my family.  Now an almost 18 year old woman I've been blessed that she's called me Dad all these years. 

And I'm still selling hoses. 

Hoses in different area codes?

Been staying inside and hiding from the world, but I did see this beaut at the grocery store.

Tomorrow Is Friday. I know a bunch of folks are not working and the days all seem to run together, and I feel for you, truly. But for me, the weekend means racecar work. I'm excited. Find something to be excited about, something to look forward to. It's easy, could be a package you've been waiting for, a fancy meal, a hot date, snu snu, the impending release of Amazon's (?) live action WoT series,,, lots of good things out there. 

Kid free weekend with the wife and one less neon tomorrow. Il call it a win! T minus 26 hours....

Just saw some great news - unemployment dropped significantly from April to May.   Small comfort for those affected but hopefully represents us turning a corner.

May unemployment drops

Painted some spare pomegranate (sp?) wheels I got with my Delica. 

A little more gold than the bronze I was hoping for.

Whenever I'm dealing with lawn and garden or by the foot hose, I walk around the store singing that. "I got hosed..I got hooooooooose, in different area codes ". Half my co workers don't get it.

The local Sams club, of all places, has surprisingly edible sushi.

When we stopped for lunch it was 102f. Now it is 85f. The wind is blowing like a $2 whore on New Years, but I'll take that trade today. Especially since tomorrow the forecasted high is under 90 and I have the whole day to work on the Funderbird. Woot!

This morning I remembered the upstairs roll was empty before I put myself in a compromised situation. 
 

Not the worst way to start the day.

I'm getting so much more family time with my almost 2yo son. He's growing too quickly, but I guess it's a good thing as he has a little brother on the way.

congratulations!   

There are no happier kids than the ones with a trampoline. Luckily we have two (small ones) so both my kids and my niece can all jump at the same time. 
So this morning I get to witness the sheer joy of defying gravity. The smiles and squeals are better than the birdsong in the distance, though some of the neighbors may disagree. 

that is all

I started a week of unpaid furlough today by spending time with my (growing up way too fast) teenage daughter, with my eternally happy dog, and putzing around building a railing for the deck on our house.  To be honest, if this is what retirement is like, vs. the ratrace called work, I like it.  Yea, it was a good day.

So, one may notice that many of my updates here are food based. For that, I make no apologies. 

Todays reminder is to sit back and appreciate that by the aligning of stars and the grace of heaven, you or I can buy a (way too big) refreshing Coca-Cola for the low, low price of $1, without even getting out of the car. Amazing. Truly a small thing to be grateful for.
