• generally slacked most of yesterday away.  I think I slept 'til almost noon.   last night, I stop off at Boston Market for their $7.99 1/2 chicken with two sides (cream spinach and sweet taters) deal.  yep, it's not a 1/4 chicken (usually for the same price). it's a whole 1/2, then stop off at my favorite beer store for a sixer of oatmeal stout, and some milk.  come home and share some chicken with my favorite pooperdog (Squabber don't want none).  afterward, we sit and watch a couple moobies via Netflix (1/2 watch one called "house of the devil"...it moved along way too slow. and one called "death watch".  a supernatural WWI premise.). 

  up this mornin' by 8:30, we do us a barefoot pooperdog walk (52 degrees is the coolest my feet can take before I put on some shoes...brrrr!). we haven't had rain in a good long time.  I wanna see how my porch roof caulk job holds up.  looks like I'll get the chance tomorrow.  it's supposed to rain Thursday and Friday.  today, I got my $43 trumpet by the door. I wanna find a place that'll fix the valve (the valve itself is fine, but it misses that small notch that holds the valve in place.  without it, the valve naturally wants to slightly turn as I push the key down, changing it from a nice tone, to a strangled one, in a hurry. I'm thinkin' it'll cost more to fix than what I actually paid for the trumpet itself, but then I'll have a "new" trumpet...I'm gonna call around and see who does this kind of work. if there's no one in Holland, I know of a store in Grand Rabbits that does...

  anyway.  more coffee first.
