Weekend Recap, Succinct w/Lessons Learned

Wink is deceptively simple... for morons, apparently. If I hadn't seen this screen 100 times since Friday evening, I wouldn't have had to viciously cockpunch that old man for innocuously uttering "uh-oh" in my presence, today.  ;)

Eighth and Roast's hipster/quasi-vegan (not) biscuits are small, pricy and delicious.

Landlady felt guilty, gave me this.  :)

There are good people doing good works in Nashville. Click to, well, you know. h/t Ed.

Honda kicks major ass, forever and always, ramen.

Mormons can  be people, despite the majority who present as advanced androids with can opener personalities.

Awww, KITTEH!

Awww, HOPPY BEER!  I want the 12pk/2-flight "Deconstructed" set... brewmaster preparatory classes!

Steve is a fellow Smyrnan, rides a kickass Vespa 300ie Super and knows some awesome backroads in Roofie County. Also?  Hell of a Nice Guy, and newish friend. Here's our ride today, map junkies!

Steve and I are considering a counter-club alternative to Nashville's The Snakes SC. That would be the Volunteer Scooter Cooter Collective of Middle Tennessee. Must be age 40 or over to enter. And if your main ride is Chinese, under 100cc or pink and/or flowery, you must have a visible tattoo.  ;) Face/neck, preferably.

GoodYear is spying on me. I knew I shouldn't have started with the Michelins and the Wink mesh net.

Two Three Completely Random Thursday Photos

If you attend Lollapalooza Chicago this year, here's one of the thangs you will see. 

I was in the Dollar General store close to the interstate yesterday afternoon, grabbing a cold drank and a bathroom visit before heading out to the Remote Reaches of La Vergne -- so remote, it's actually Nolensville, but this ~150-200 acres of Nolensville is served by our water system. A guy I know who works at SGPS/Showrig was in there, too, and he said howdy, and asked me if I had five minutes.

"For you, Hud, I have ten!"

"Follow me up to the shop, then. I thought you might like to see some of what we actually do."  This is literally three blocks from the DollarGen. Okay!

I laughed my ass off, and wish  I had fired up the video instead, 'cause about the time I snapped this, they tested the mechanism that makes the mecha-Drinking bird dip his beak, and bob back up. It was a scream.

Guys from MooTV were there assisting with the rigging, so I had to shout-out, "Hey, y'all know James Duer?"  Of course they did. East Side Scooters partner (with Josephine, his wife) and ex-performance video director for Toby Keith and Zac Brown Band, who also worked for MooTV at the time. Now, every week on the job, I see a bunch of the stuff James sells these days for Victaulic. They make plumbing stuff, like big-ass ductile iron braces for fire systems, an' whatnot. I miss the hell out of ESS, but I think the Duers are a lot happier, and certainly financially better off, these days. I need to go visit them in their new home in Lebanon, TN (home of Charlie Daniels), very, very soon. I miss 'em both, a lot.

That bottom part made me LOL. I didn't need  to ring the bell.  ;)

"Mister Data, engage.".

Monday Is Also A Day

I wouldn't mind winning the Cold Beer Lottery. Any lottery jackpot, for that matter.

Laundry started, dinner was next. Dominos had a $7.99 pick-up special -- large 3-topping. Mine were onions, roasted red peppers and mushrooms. Half a large 'za, 800 calories. Hey, I had peas and corn for lunch!

Holla for the Dollar Tree. Getting some kitchen diddleys and stuff for the solar bathroom.

Wanda's all loaded up. Let's go home.

A rare sight in my presence: a paid-for sixer of Sweetwater 420, in toto.
