The Motherload and grace musclesCategory: garden
(e:terry) and I went to home depot to buy a ton of soil. We had to rent a truck. The manager heard how much soil we were buying and that we rented a truck so he offered us a ton of broken but more expensive organic dirt, soil, mulch, sand bags for free with the stipulation we had to load it ourselves and take it all of it. In the end we moved over 3000lbs of material with our "grace" muscles. Now we have to unload it at home.

basra the bionic super tortoiseCategory: pets
I had this dream that basra the tortoise (e:paul,54485) dried up and his shell cracked open. He one eye dried off and his arms and legs had dried up into stumps. Even though half of his organs were hanging out his shell and he couldn't really, see he was still alive.
After a serious freakout where we all tried to blame each other for letting him dry out, we scooped him up and held him together with wegmans bags and hangers. Once we got him to the vet, she said she had been conducting research on this type of problem and that she could turn him into a bionic tortoise for ~$20,000 and that he would have his normal lifespan. He would also be able to hook him up to a computer system and communicate directly brain by writing computer programs. As soon as I decided to go through with the procedure, I woke up.

Heheh.. very entertaining. That is SO you, something that your brain would construct. (Obsession with amputations + computer technology + roadkill)

The creepiest high chairCategory: furniture
This gem is sitting in the parking lot behind India Gate on elmeood. It looks like a prop from a horror movie. I wonder what era its from?

I bet it had cushions where the screws are. If you imagine it new, it doesn't look that bad.

I'd guess from the 70's. It was all about plastic molded accessories then.

Blues TravelerCategory: thursday
Went to Thursday in the square last night to see Blues Traveler. Despite it being packed, the lack of chairs made moving around much easier and we got right up front. Its so entertaining to watch girls throw themselves at (e:enknot). Seriously, its like deer on those corn feeders.
The sound on the video is horrible because we were so close up.

Lloyd's Taco truckCategory: food
For someone who doesn't love Mexican food this is unusual but I (e:Terry) wanted to eat at they taco truck so bad and he was willing to drive to it, so we went for lunch at the larkin complex parking lot.
The chicken burrito I had was amazing as was the yummy krazy corn. It was cheap and delicious which is a great combo. I would totally go back.
One of my former students designed the site where you can lookup the trucks location each day

I have only had it when it was at Music Is Art and it was good both times.... Now that being said (through the facebook page and not the website) I know that sometimes they have special food.... I don't remember what it was but they had something because of the holiday or event that was going on near the truck.....

They come to work on Tuesdays. I really love that corn thing. It's got something called garlic butter on it which is just chunks of garlic blended with butter. I didn't like that Nachos however, a tad too dull for me.

At this point I will settle for any muscles -graceful or not. Someone asked me if I had shrunk a few inches the other day!
Man, I need to really come to yoga. I have pretty much lost whatever little I had gained. Pretty graceless I am afraid.
Its what (e:enknot) calls the muscles we get from yoga vs the muscles he gets from lifting weights. Considering that moving 3000lbs of material in a hour is is the max performance I need to get out of my body per year, that it was relatively easy, and that the rest time I am just typing, I think "grace" muscles are good enough. I mean why power a Hummer when I really just need a Vespa.
What are grace muscles? Should I know this fancy term?
