I'm getting an early start on the long weekend.
Headed up to the White Mountains to enjoy the summer weather.
Please enjoy your weekend and stay safe.
Short week, so no free ice-cream tomorrow.
I'll be lurking when or if internet is available.
Slainte!

Years ago there was on an old boy that ran an excavator for us. He was a great operator who and could be a very funny guy at times. One day he and I were talking about some of our exploits from the 80s, old times, etc, and he was explaining the "drug phase" of his life which turned out to be pretty comical. He went on to explain that he never had any problem with drugs and had been only a casual user, etc. However, there was BUT in there. He went on to say had never used a lot of drugs and had tried cocaine a few times during that period of his life and liked it, but really didn't think the drug was worth the money, etc.. He said it'd been years since he'd touched the stuff, "but I can tell you one thing" he went on to say, "if there was an eight ball laying on the dash of this machine right now, I'd be hunting me a damn straw!" I'm sure he'd have some funny comments about this story. I can just hear him saying, "call the law, hell!".

Headed for a nice weekend.
I traded yesterday's company holiday for today.
Be good and play nice.
That moment you get your coffee and it kicks you in the nuts. It’s tough realizing how long ago 1975 was. 50 years. Sometimes, it seems like yesterday.
Lot's going on around here this week. Just trying to keep it all in perspective.
Heading North to escape the circus.
Ran out of time and the where-with-all to get a post together.
You'll survive.
Go visit
Boilerdoc or Anodtothegods as well as the others on my sidebar.
Be good
Be safe
The times are getting interesting

In the meantime, please enjoy this short educational gif:
What do they say about opportunity knocking?

Be back later. Play nice.
All the best,

I have been doing a ruck pretty much every morning in the
conservation area that is on the way to work.
As you get to the end of the trail, headed to the parking lot, there is
a foot bridge over a small stream. Last month I started tossing a penny into
the “ Wishing Stream “ as I named it. My goal was to get them to land on the flat
stone you see. It was submerged and rotated CW about 90 degrees from where it
sits now.
There were maybe 30-40 pennies scattered around and on top
of the stone.
Needless to say, some intrepid person, decided they needed 30+
cents and went out of their way to go down to the stream, move the stone, and take all my daily “Wish” pennies.
People suck.
The new penny was from this morning.
I guess I can hope that maybe it was my Guardian Angel
gathering my wishes and I’m gonna hit the Powerball Lottery soon.
Let’s see how many I can add until the thief returns.
There may have been malware or viruses related to it?
Here is the take down email we got:

Suspicious death of woman in Plaistow under investigation, AG's Office says
The suspicious death of a woman in Plaistow is under investigation, the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office said. Investigators said around 6:15 a.m. on Sunday, Plaistow police responded to a home on Old County Road in response to a 911 call from a neighbor after a child asked them for help.When they entered the home, they made contact with the person who called and found a woman dead and an individual, who identifies as a woman, suffering from injuries, investigators said. The man was taken to the hospital. Authorities said they are investigating it as a possible murder and an attempted suicide by the individual who identifies as a woman who survived. Investigators earlier on Sunday identified the individual who survived as a man. "We're grateful that the child is is physically uninjured and is safe at this time. But we're still going to need some time to do an investigation in this case," said assistant attorney general Bethany Durand. When neighbor Joe Ward woke up to run errands Sunday morning, he said he saw police cars lined up outside his house. "I just started like rushing around. I went out, turned around, went shopping, and I came back and came back to all this," Ward saidInvestigators said the woman is in stable condition but did not say how she is related to the victim. There does not appear to be any threat to the general public, authorities said.
As I was reading the article I knew I had heard that name before. I just couldn't put 2 and 2 together.
Then on the way home, a synapse fired, and I remembered. Back in 2019 The Plaistow Public
Library had a family friendly event where you could " Ask a Transgender Woman Anything".
I remember the large library sign had it in big bold letters for a few weeks. IRISH
