Bravo Carlo! Doing the same!
Im going to work on the new house with my son, and ill probably raise a toast to the Druidic folks who were celebrating "Easter" for thousands of years before megachurch came along and gave us human-sized magical rabbits who break into your house and leave painted, boiled chicken fetuses hidden everywhere...and chocolate nestled in fake grass too!
Wife has to work the 12 hr ER shift. She left a huge ChocoBunny here with an expectation of some remaining when she gets home.
My son and I will engulf it, then pick some yard flowers,write the apology speech, and present it to the best of our abilities upon her return.
She knows this game well and only endeavors these temptations to base the Irish guilt trip which is in the end, will rise its ugly head.
I will personally blame everything on my son as I bloat in the corner covered with choco trails on my face.
Hopefully, we will have a few laughs along the way today and wish this for all.
Yalls haves good ones.

We have "the kid" here (been here all week during the Easter break). I will roast a ham, which will be accompanied by potato salad, cole slaw and deviled eggs. My xyl plans to take "the kid" to church this morning; I plan to repair to the radddio room to see if perhaps Jesus is working twenty this morning.
There is, somewhere hidden from me (I cannot walk past an easter egg and leave it intact), a basket of green, frazzled paper replete with sundry confections that is reserved for "the kid;" it will be withdrawn from its safe house once they have returned from what I consider (but cannot say) to be an annual display of blatant hypocrisy.
Easter is, in the memorable phrase written for Walter Cronkite, "a day like all days, filled with those events that alter and illuminate our time." Which is to say, a day like any other. Enjoy it. If you are with your families, enjoy it the more. But don't do it because it is Easter, but because you have yet another chance to love and be loved and spend time with them whom you cherish.
My best wishes go out to you all.

A good day to see if the lake fish are hungry for barbed morsels.
That's what I'd like to do. Or take a ride. The back and secondary roads are better today. Yesterday and Friday were not good days to be on the road.
Go see the near Octogenarians.

Pigging out at 'DSG's in-laws. :yes:
I used to do that Fred, but now Bonnie and I are the in-laws. Enjoing the day with the grand kids and all the fixens to eat.
Made the boss and Little Miss Field Day breakfast. Looked at the sugar free cookies she got me in the basket, which I can't touch until Passover is over. Enjoying a few hours of peace & quiet while they're at church.
Will also have a few hours of P&Q this afternoon, weather permitting, if the Pirate game is on (Jessie's orthodontist gave her two tickets and a parking pass at the club level... but only two), so I plan to do some yard work, walk the dog, grill a steak, and work some 12 meters if the band is open.
Then we get to have a family dinner as the sister-in-laws. If it's anything like last year, I won't be able to eat too much, she tends to "forget" (which is why I plan on having the steak).
Typical Easter.

All you can buy, unfortunately. It has to flush better than what I took out, though. I got so tired of having to use the plunger on a routine basis! The new one is flush rated at 5 stars, so we'll see soon enough if that means anything...maybe only 2 plunger strokes instead of 1/2 dozen.

Morning with family and little preening of the yard.
Now? 17m is workin to EU and Denmark was booming...and a little Island cruising.
Mid-afternoon---Mechanicsville, Va and birthday party for good friend, and musician, where great frivolity and merriment will find itself massaged by the live music of those who attend.
So I will probably be hammered later....fair warning. :yes:

I bought a 1.5 gallon flush toilet at the Home Despot a couple of years ago and it flushes far better than the 3-gallon flush toilet it replaced. I think I've used a plunger on it twice since I installed it (both times due to...anomalous product size and consistency).

Working on my resume, trying to resurrect a career, while fighting off an attack of post-chocolate-bunny narcosis, even though the wee beastie was sugar free.
Also sending off what is (I hope) the last College Financial Aid Form on behalf of my aspiring artist son.
All the while enjoying a glorious morning of sun and warmth.
Happy Passover/Easter everybody, no matter who your God looks like (or doesn't).

Fucked like rabbits all morning then slept until 3, then fucked some more. Changed the oil in my motorcycle, washed it, then took it out and opened it up. 9,500 RPM in fifth gear is fast. Showered and got comfy in a cami, leggings and the fuzzy pink comfy socks my friend Kim gave me for my birthday. Right now watching zombie movies with Dan and some friends. Actually, taking an intermission right now before we watch Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter.

Daymmm... Can we trade places?
Lessee... Missed my shower this morning because the tribe here ran the house out of hot water. Went out to visit my Dad in rehab (took his dog). Scanned some film. Drank some rum. Oh, and steaks for dinner that I didn't have to cook myself!
Back to work tomorrow -- need the time off!

Aside from the shower it sounds like a good day :)
You wouldn't have wanted to deal with what I had to yesterday and Friday: Literally 18 hours of wading in sewer water, cleaning out the tree roots from the main line to our house. Dan isn't handy enough to do this sort of thing so I get to. The joys of owning a 114 year old house. So anyway, yeah today I pampered myself, lol.

I have cute rainbow wellies, but I would never wear them in the basement. For that I have a big clunky pair of yellow rubber boots from Home Depot.
Slept in, watched some playoff hockey with the occassional bounce over to check the Celtics score. Took my son up to see our new house for the first time, stood on my new balcony and marveled at how lucky we were to get THAT view...180 degs, mountains and no houses will ever be built in front of us because its a Paiute reservation, open desert. Grabbed a burger at Red Robin because it was open, dropped the kid off at his moms house, picked up a couple of flats of water, downloading some music (legally of course), pooped, going to look up some numbers for utilities, probably play a video game, will likely break out the little box and burn some trees because i dont have to go anywhere tonight.
Basically a nice day off, much needed. My wife has just plain had it with her shitty job and i do believe this is her last day...she is done and im happy for her! But she spent 11 years in that dump and is now cashing in on her one month paid vacation. Hellz Yeah! Tomorrow is going to be bust ass time, my wife will be scrubbing all the previous owners filth out of the new house, and i will be making my repair list and starting that project...time revisit my old construction skills, they are a little rusty but it should be fun. :)
Damn, what an effed-up morning. I just couldn't wake up, it felt like I'd been dead for three days. Then I had to roll a big damned rock out of my way to get outside. My hands and feet hurt like hell, too, I don't know what's up with that.

Damn you win. The records to the Big House here only go to 1899. We've gone thorugh the "Screw this POS" a few times, but it screams "Home" so there ya go. Ain't a fuckin room in this house square and no matter what we do something squeaks.
Enjoy!

If you guys are in the mood for a cheesy comedy that's so cheesy it'll have you laughing your ass off because it's just THAT bad, watch Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. It's on Netflix. It'd probably be in your best interest to smoke copious amounts of something green before doing so, however. But it WILL make you lol.

Woke up with the same feeling. But dragged my sorry ass out with thoughts of the Easter Parade. But two major f-ups 1) getting a paper and 2) getting a cup of coffee said that it's best to just go back to bed. Day started out bad! Got better later on, tho', so I drank!
And, nobody said "working on my antenna." I guess the wx just wasn't cooperative? Too nice?

Hey, no problem, J, you knew not what you did. As for da Vinci, well, his picture doesn't look anything like me. Bastard used one of his Guinea boyfriends as a model, I'm sure. And we all still giggle about "Peter" and his "cock." I swear, that guy was so top...

I bought a Toto toilet last time. Yes, it is a low flow, but I bought it about a year ago or more. The flow level is down now from what it was a year ago. We were getting in under the deadline. It usually doesn't need a plunger. But this is probably the best toilet I have ever had. I think mine is a 2.5 gallon and now they are supposed to be 1.6 GPF toilets.

I bought a Toto toilet last time.
We bought and installed two of the Toto toilets for a friend. Flushing the thing is pretty intimidating with all the commotion going on.
My first thought upon flushing the thing was, "man, don't ever touch that lever sitting down."
Nice rig for a poop-chute.
I don't care how good they may be, there just ain't no way I'm gonna buy a toilet that's named after the dog in The Wizard of Oz.

And which ham did you roast, Albi??

The water saver toilets are OK. It's the saver shower heads I can't take.
I buy one of those seedling water wand heads, plug 50% of the holes w epoxy and get a perfect shower pattern and flow. When I visit someone or stay at a motel I don't understand how anyone can stand the water saver models.

Maybe they're named after the band.

I know what you mean. I feel like it is just a humidifier that I am trying to clean myself with. California hotel shower stalls are really bad. I have to spend so much time just to get wet.

That was one of the top 5 gigs ive done out of thousands, for sure! The best part is that many of my friends were there to see it, and i got to do a gig with my favorite session bassist, Lee Sklar, sitting in the audience.
