So it's more fun when they're nekkid and you know the phone's right there in their hand, eh? I recommend salt water pools BTW (or the ocean), does the business a lot quicker.

A belated request GOF's. Please report front and center-- if all appendages accounted for. We decided to have our Valentine's dinner Saturday night. I was too beat-- had a crazy week at work. But I did get Carey a dozen yellow roses, some hand made chocolate truffles, a nice card, and some Russel Stover chocolates. Tonight we will have surf and turf-- made at home. We'll share cooking duties. Probably watch a movie together. Seems like after 30+ years that's enough...
What say ye, GOF's? What do you have planned for this weekend? P.S. I get an extra day off Monday. woot woot.

Prepping myself for the day of carnage and bodily abuse that will be my b/day on Tuesday....

I went to Dominos yesterday and bought the worst pizza I’ve ever had. Never been there before so thought that I’d try one. The place was packed with people making pickups. I thought that was a good sign. Turned out, not so good. People have no sense of taste in cold weather.
There’s a cold spell yesterday and today. I got too cold yesterday. So did the broccoli that I bought. It froze on the way home.
The places that sell booze were packed yesterday. Even more than the flower and dollar stores.

Go into applications/utilities. Run the disk util app. Format your flash drive in FAT-32, that is the PC format. Copy your files on. It should work at the stores. If it doesn’t, maybe the drive has a problem.

You’ll have till Tuesday to select your birthday attire. Folks tend to get irritated when you wear the one that you came into the world with. Especially when showing off the little cricket.
All the best and enjoy ramp up to the day.
Present and accounted for. Everything still seems to be working. Crazy and exhausting week at work. I had a row of four story townhouses to trim out. Up three flights to the fourth floor to check it out and see exactly what materials I will need , two more trips up the three flights to get tools up ,and two more trips up to get all the materials up. For the mathematically challenged that's fifteen flights of stairs before I can even start to go to work. Fortunately , my company has the delivery drivers take the toilets up to the floors i have to install them on or that would be another two trips per floor. Finish that floor , two trips down a flight to get tools down , and a trip all the way down to get trash out , then two trips up to the third floor to get materials up. Repeat for the second and first (walk in) floors. floor. I have dubbed these things "Mountain Goat" houses. My goatee grew two inches this week and I have the distinctive urge to go "BAAAA BAAAA" before sitting down to dinner. Happy to say I have been sleeping really well this week. 
Played a GOFs Valentine's Dinner Party Tuesday night, with Mrs. Dog in attendance. It was fun, food was great, mostly home cooked. We got picked to play the "Not So Newlywed Game" and only match one question! The couple that beat us only matched two, the record high for the night! Won "lovely parting gifts", though.
Drove Mrs. Dog, and a sewing friend, 250 miles to a new sewing store for a few days. Sort of a mini-NAMM for sewing! I did the tourist thing while they attended demos, classes & bought stuff each day. About to head home now.
If not too tired, when we get home, I'll join a jam this afternoon. It's usually a lot smaller, without the beginners, than the cattle call Bluegrass Jam, so I'd have to be pretty tired to miss it.
Then my trusty church gigs tomorrow morning and evening. Life is good, my friends!
Oh, yeah, ... grump, grump, grumpity grump.

The gap between "I know that song" and "The Beatles" was longer than I may have wished, thereby affirming my qualifications as a lady GOF.
Presently accounted for. Minding my own business here when a friend I did not expect to see again told me on my cell phone she is in town.
Good sewing machine stores are getting hard to find. New ones are rare. We recently bought a portable Janome for leather work. If we ever have more room, I know which (Techsew) industrial machine I’d want.
Maybe the same place that smugglers use to get phones into prisons. The general rule, never borrow anyone else’s cell phone, bodes well. You never know where it’s been.

Sewing machines are not my grandmother's treadle sewing machine. They need electricity, and everything, to run computer stuff.

Goatee sprayed with someone else’s bathroom water is BAAAAD.
Priorities.
The one that I bought is all mechanical. Any computers were verboten.
The squirrels to run it were deemed too high maintenance. So this one does use electricity.
