Toby and I out to Meeka Park plus 3/5 of a mile. Toby came SO CLOSE to inducing my ire. Lucky for him he came off as apologetic. Believe me, all he would’ve gotten would’ve been a sound scolding. That’s about the extent his reception of my “ire”.

LOTS to do today:
*mow at least the front yard,
*VA podiatry,
*clean house,
*meet with the Jarl and Jarlskonna of Hammerstorm to discuss renewing their vows.
<>
Mowed the front yard; the mower is set @ the highest level for mulching.
<>
2nd breakfast; breakfast sandwich to include whole-wheat toast, hashbrown patty (from frozen), cheese, ham, and two scrambled eggs…YUM!
<>
Back out to the yard for edging the front…AND wouldn’t ya know it? It started to rain. Front yard is done, and drip irrigation placed around the baby bushes for the summer.
*soaked to the skin.
<>
Work called asking if I’d be interested in working at one of our sister PCC companies, Brittain Machine http://www.pccaero.com/companies/brittain-machine/ deburr for the afternoon. I told her emphatically, if I didn’t have my afternoon doctor appointment I would’ve been glad to work.

Britain has voted to remove themselves from the European Union http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/24/europe/uk-eu-referendum-results/. I’ve kept up live charts of how the Dow Jones is reacting: http://www.livecharts.co.uk/MarketCharts/dow.php Goddamn volatile!
<>
QT for petrol, plus a newspaper and a birthday shake…DAMN GOOD!
BK for my free Whopper Hotdogs!
<>
Home to freshen
<>
Work called again to see if I was interested in working Sat or Sun…dunno…we’ll see
<>
VA podiatry went well, and pretty damned fast!
<>
Call in from a work colleague. Something is afoot at work, and I don’t think it’s positive. I think it has to do with the aforementioned sister company with a full slate of troubles. Supposedly there is going to be an all-hands meeting on Monday. We may be called upon to try to right their ship.

Bank
Cleaned house to presentable standards
<>
GODDAMN…Stubby and Long-tail have devoured two cans of cat-food (5.5oz ea.) and have started a third! They have really been hungry of late.
<>
WONDERFUL visit with the Jarl and Jarlskonna of Hammerstorm. I am honored to be helping them with their 20th anniversary and repeating their vows.
<>
In touch with my sister to help her put together a resume. Her last two clients have died so she’s at a place where she’s opting for another employer.
*Raido/Man?
<>
Methinks the test of the slow-drip irrigation system for the baby shrubs was a success. Now it’s just a matter of time to see how it performs over the summer.
<>
Worked on the ceremony for the Jarl and Jarlskonna.
<>
OMGs…WAY past my bedtime!

Nighty-night
