We had a good 4th. Did ribs on the smoker, baked beans, potato salad, corn on the cob and Mac n cheese. Yesterday we did leftovers and added some better cheddars. Today I’m doing wings on the grill.
Saw fireworks off in the distance Friday and went to a local farm that did a nice display last night. Today we kind of bummed around the cabin, working on putting up a new fence here so did that yesterday and will do more tomorrow. Going to be a 2 summer job. Doing our cabin and my in-laws next door.

Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July weekend. We are going to cook up some ribs and corn.

I've had too many friends lose someone they love the first half of this year (hubby for two of them, mom for one, grandma for another), so goodbye, first half of 2025. It's been a rough one.
Got my buddy in town from Indiana this week. We're hitting The Henry Ford/Greenfield Village for Salute to America, Cedar Point for a couple days, Frankenmuth (because Frankenmuth) and she'll get a day of rest before I send her back home thoroughly exhausted and needing a vacation from her vacation. LOL (The cats are enjoying having an extra "staff member" around.)
In garden news, my lettuces (romaine and red/green leaf) have grown beautifully, my dill has created a forest and I am now in harvest mode on all those. Still to come are cucumbers (hopefully), celery, and brussels. Maybe this year I can finally make dill pickles using my own dang cukes. LOL
Hope my GD fam is doing well as we enter these hot summer months.
I was back in town a couple weeks ago and wanted to do Frankenmuth but didn't get to. I want to go the next time I'm there. I really want to check out the new water park at Bavarian Inn.

I was at a show at Pine Knob on Sunday.
97° before the doors and people were tailgating on the asphalt. I admired their dedication from my air conditioned SUV.
It was still high 80s when the show ended at 11. Still not the hottest temp I’ve ever seen Keith Urban in
I’m kinda wishing this silly hot weather would end. I don’t mind some heat but I do t need it triple digits.

Been stupid hot today. Driving back home from seeing family and it’s been 95-99 actual temp the entire day. Stopped to charge our car and I thought I was going to bake getting the charge cable hooked up and started.

What differences are there between Sam's Club and Costco? I'm a Sam's member but a Costco is opening near me soon. Is there a difference?
Some things are cheaper at one some things are cheaper at the other. I got a Costco membership on one of those really cheap deals. Never bothered to renew it. Too stupidly busy for me.

Crazy June is already here. Took my daughter out and gave her, her first driving lesson on Friday after work. Big empty parking lot at the local church. Made me feel old and proud.

Well I read another batch of Big Lots are opening on May 15th and then a bunch more I think it said like the first week of June.

Would rather deal with snakes than an HOA.
Hope you can build and escape the HOA
Thanks. Yes I know the feeling. My wife wants to rip out these bushes that are in the middle of our front yard and replace with flowers and some boulders. Have to get HOA approval. We are going to add stairs to our back deck. Have to get HOA approval. We are going to repaint the outside of the house, have to get approval and the house can’t be the same color as any other houses within 5 houses of us in all directions. It’s a ton of houses because we are on a corner. Insanity.
Happy May all.

At this rate, I'd need a full on brush mower if I did a no-mow May... The dandelions are as big as my cats already!
Last year I had to hire True Green there, the dandelions were out of hand and I could not get rid of them or the weeds from them. Once they were out a few times the yard cleared up just enough for me to sell and leave. I had to hire someone to come mow my yard here. I've not had the time or inclination to buy a mower lol

I’d love no mow may. Biggest issues are snakes and HOA. Not sure which I detest more.
Just being back in an annoying one has already made us discuss buying a few acres and building again.

Anyone else have "fun" trying to get a Switch 2 preordered last night/today online?
I tried to grab one on Best Buy site last night but got white screened when I reached the "front" of the line the first time and they were gone by the time I got back to the front of the line the second time. Oof.
Accomplished in-person pre-order at my local GameStop on my lunch break today. The location I went to had 45 total pre-orders available, 30-ish MK World bundles, the rest plain consoles. I missed the bundle by a few people but got a plain console and went ahead and ordered the physical copy of MK World to go with it. Once mine was reserved, only three plain console preorders remained. Crazy.
I didn’t want to stay up so I didn’t try lol. Guess I won’t get it until the 2nd or 3rd wave ships.

Was reading they are starting to open a bunch of Big Lots stores again. New leases (guessing friendlier) and remodels.

Happy Easter

It’s April and it’s been showering all day here. Taxes are done except the painful part of sending them even more money.
Not looking forward to work tomorrow. Think I need a couple of weeks off with nothing to do.

March came roaring in with an $800 plumbing repair for the house. Blah. On the other hand, I leave for Vegas next week for the annual sojourn westward. Looking forward to the week with my "sisters from another mister". I bake the pile of cookies for our pit crew guys this Saturday. May have to have them start forking over moolah for those eggs... LOL

Looks like Joann is now closing all stores.

Sounds like Kohls is closing 27 stores by April.

I’m so sick of winter. The cold and snow. Where was it at Christmas?
In the Low 30's here today again and there were flurries when we went to get our daughter from staying at a friends last night (they are off school this week). Week or so ago we hit 80 one day, needless to say we have ALL been sick.

I’ve ordered nothing so far. Not enough of a discount on things in my cart to make me care.
