What is this about?

· · 🌡️ 0°F

I decided to go to the gym to excercise and sauna and see if it would
get rid if my migraine, so far so good.

Saw @james and made possible dancing plans depending on the headache.

On the way home I saw this pile if random stuff. Records, an army
canteen and shoes. What is it about?

P.S. @james - that was the grocest banana I ever saw someone eat. You just swallowed it whole with total disregard fir the blackness of it, yuk, LOL.

Yummy, yum, pork

I love the grill and I love organic pork chops with home grown
rosemary. I wish I could use the grill in the winter too. Maybe I
should build a grill hut.

give up on tiling till today.

Diesel Power at Twentieth Century Club

· · 🌡️ 66°F

The Twentieth Century club - I can't find their real site if they have one - has been using a really loud and obnoxious diesel generator to power something at their club for over a month now. My friend @holly once said it was some women's society but really I have don't know the details. They are located on Deleware around the 590s and have another entrance in the back on Franklin across from Fugazi. Here are some pics of the property from google maps to give you an idea.

This is the front entrance on Delaware

The back entrance I am about to talk about

So for like the last month they have had a huge diesel guzzling power generator running 24/7 in their driveway on Franklin.

I can't understand what they can't fix that requires constant diesel based power generation. One day, a weekend, even a week, okay but when it stretches to a month and more you have to wonder what the heck is going on. While the machine uses some form of noise reduction, I would be livid if it was my neighbor.

Imagine, in the summer with your windows open next to a giant SUV sized diesel generator. I also think it trashes up the neighborhood and find it surprising that a club that has such a beautiful building and grounds is okay with this running all the time. Its probably to power air conditioning, lol @zobar #45203 If it is that I thinki it should be illegal to to make that much noise on an extended basis.

It seems so environmentally unfriendly.

At least they should really be required to bring it into the walled property which you can see the gate of right in front of the diesel generator.

Gutters

Who would have thought so much crap could get in gutters. I think
broken mortar crumbles plus moss = dirt.

Mortar - Repointing my parents chimney

· · 🌡️ 0°F

I convinced my father to go with the real stuff for his chimney! No color mixing they only need sand color. The bag was $4.25 for 60 lbs of mortar mix. It was so cheap we bought that one even though we only needed like 20lbs. Smaller portions cost about 3 times as much, lol.
image

This is what we were going to use at like ~$10 per tube but I talked him out of.
image

Here it is after beign repointed. I wish I had a picture of before but my hands were so dirty from mixing mortar. It basically had no mortar in lots of parts and crumbly mortar in others.

image

As a reward I got dinner which included yummy fish.
image

And my favorite food in the world - seafood salad - which is clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari rings, and legs which green pepper and celery.

Getting Buffer

· · 🌡️ 78°F

I wish I could gain more than a pound or two a week. I want to be 160 so bad. So far I have put one month of gym 5 days a week for about an hour. Right now I am 152 and minus all traces of fat. Unfortunately, that means 160 will not longer be summer time. Now I know why people want steroids, lol.

image

I guess I am so busy I cannot put the phone down. I was scheuling with my mother to go work on my parents mortar problem this evening. My father insists on using some sort of plastic/rubber based mortor for the chimney. His neighbor started the trend. I wish I could just be using the normal stuff like we did at my house.

Apparently the navy shirt was too gay

· · 🌡️ 0°F

So at ETS we ordered some wings after some fat people and we got
served first. Then we left to eat outside. Not our fault. Fat dudes
got angry and starting yelling/ screaming/ turning red in the store.
Then other customers started screaming and fighting. We are merrily
eating our wings being entertained by fat people fighting.

Turn out the one group of guys called us cock suckers and butt fuckers
and the other people got angry and caught them. At least according to
the other people.

We couldn't hear anything from outside but the other guys who
supposedly stuck up for us came out screaming we stuck up for you,
blah, blah while thwy called you cocksuckers, etc at the top of his
lungs while his boyfriend? Dragged him away.

Then the police came and everyone in the store was pointing at us
outside. Three police cars and like 5 police responded. That is 5
cops more than came to help us when the puerto ricans tried to knife
us ok elmwood and Johnson park back on the day.

Still not sure what's really going on? I mean the wings are good but
not start a fight and go to jail good. @libertad called them blood
wings.

Elmwod taco and subs

· · 🌡️ 0°F

It really is such a different atmosphere since they remodeled. It's
amzing what a makeover can do. I need one, ok. According to
@libertad someone has scratched up amd tagged the bathroom.

Why are people so obsessed with tagging? It's so super lame. Maybe
they feel lkke they have nothing to claim and thats it. The one that
is the lamest is atak. It's so boring.
