Marathon running a coaster at closing at Knoebels.

If you zoom you can see The Eye Of Sauron.

Things heard at the hotel breakfast:

So two early women are talking. One says,”Where I live there are straight men.”

Woman replies,”Ohh that must be nice?”

Im just curious where this second woman lives now, that this is a speaking point among strangers. (One woman was with her family. One was waiting for an Uber to the airport)

Dude spending his 16th Birthday at Kennywood outside Pittsburgh.

Weather is perfect.

This is Ozzy. One of my best friends in New York. Unlike my Wife, Ozzy understands me. I have known Ozzy since 2021. Every time we go to this interactive zoo, I push children out of my way to get to Ozzy.

He is getting up there in years, and well, I can’t talk about what that means. But it scares me. I worry about that.

But something happened today.

The place shared that Ozzy has a little brother now. They bought a chick and are readying him for the public.

So meet my soon to be, unnamed, new best friend. I’m so excited to go meet him.

Best part of the trip

7 1/2 hour drive. 11 miles into it Wifey says

“Hey who is this Huge Ass 69 guy?”

Spawn changed the WiFi hotspot password to “Hugh_Jayus69”

And for a minute there Wifey didn’t catch on

We all laughed as she put it together

A guy in China built a fully working subway system and station for his cats

Trimmed my Nosferatu nails again. One thing I have learned getting older…

I don’t know why but my fingernails grow insanely fast now. Like after I hit 50 their growth rate tripled.

Yet my toe nails slowed down.

And now I wonder how many of you are seeing this during dinner?

My apologies.

Well, I guess I have one thing going for me.

Spawn is a nervous Nelly when it comes to having blood drawn. We need to iron out something that is really improbable with his thyroid. So he needs this test done.

Nurse who is doing the draw says it will be easy because he has good veins.

But then she goes,”Not like your Father’s though. Look at these. I’d love to do a draw from you.” And she runs her fingers on my forearm and hands.

She then says I have the best veins she ever saw.

Good to know if someone wants to kill me it will be real easy to see where to slash me.

6:15 am I’m always up first. I leave to put gas in my Wife’s car.(I don’t let her pump gas) 47 degrees. I’m in shorts and a tshirt.

It was the first time my body said “Hoodie Season is coming”

I almost feel like turning on the heat.

Divorce is coming

We marathon shows in our bed between 7-9 a few nights a week.

Tonight Wifey wanted pretzels with Pub cheese

I say crumbs will be everywhere and we just put new sheets on.

She says she will be careful

We watch and snack.

She then

Uses her hand and brushes all Her pretzel crumbs onto my side of the bed.

I told her if one crumb touches my body tonight I will push her on the floor.

She replies,”You wouldn’t dare.”

She in for a rude surprise.

[ardent-heretic]

I did it.

Made, by my standards, 5 star ribs. My best batch ever.

They will never be the greatest ribs, because there was a restaurant in Chicago that made the greatest of all time. But they shut down. Never to be consumed again. And they took their recipe to the grave.

But as far as my meager ability is, I did my best today.

Spawnette liked them so much she finished 5 minutes before me. But her slab was smaller.

Wifey feasted at prior mentioned restaurant as well. So of course her bar is set high. But she agreed this was my best attempt.

Now we all gonna sit around and digest.

I’m a proud fat ass right now.

[ardent-heretic]

I take Spawnette to Target to buy another Album. We come back.

First thing Wifey says,”Did you look at clothes?”

No

So now she mad we didn’t clothes shop for school.

It’s frikken Target. I took Spawnette to 2 malls and an outlet run. She found 3 pieces of clothing there. I didn’t know Target was a clothing Mecca.

And like maybe Wifey should ask BEFORE I go to a store.

[ardent-heretic]

I’m making burrito bowls.

Do not ask how much Cumin I add to my seasoning mix for the ground beef.

[ardent-heretic]

First vacation had temps 95-109 degrees

Second vacation 86-95 degrees

Today it 63 degrees here. Who shot summer?

[ardent-heretic]

Noooooo

[ardent-heretic]

July Coaster trip had 2,260 miles of driving

August coaster trip we just finished had 1,980 miles of driving.

Yes we drove 4,000 miles this summer to ride coasters.

Spawn turns 16 this month. So he will get a driver’s license soon.

Imagine two maniacs alternating behind the wheel? Our range for vacations just grew exponentially.

Wifey hates my aggressive driving. If he follows my lead she gonna flip out.

I can just see it now. First trip NY to Texas parks. Second trip NY to California parks.

Driving straight through. Fu Manchu blasting on the radio.
