| The winning throws |
I ended up staying awake until Lisa got home at 4:30 am so it was no surprise that I slept until 10 am. I could have probably slept longer, but my old man bladder was having none of that. I should have kept my head down, peed and went back to bed. Is that what happened? Of course not! I stood gawking out the window at the big noisy garbage truck. It's robotic arms reaching out for my can. Grasping it and carrying it aloft. Where it shakes the crap out of it. Pretty cool really. By the time I watched him do Next Door Gord's, I was wide awake.
I put on a pot of coffee and watered the plants on the deck. It's been raining here off and on, but there's a roof on the deck. Easy to forget about them. I almost killed Lisa's big beautiful Jasmine plant. It survived thanks to a generous dose of Miracle Grow. It is looking a little Charlie Brownish though.
We had lunch plans, and seeing as I had slept away the best part of the morning, I hit the Green Room for a wake up workout.
1000 Four Stair Stretches
200 One Stair Steps
180 Belly Crunches
I heard Peter come in just as I was making my way into the shower. I had Momma Lee's new wheelchair cushion and we made the switch when we picked her up for lunch. It seems to be working very well for her and it's adjustable.
About once every five or six weeks I take Momma Lee and her eldest son, Peter for lunch. He always decides where we go for lunch. He usually wants to do the chinese buffet but they changed the name from China Kitchen to Asia Kitchen and that has him weirded out a little. Not big on change.

| Yum Yum, none of the food groups |
"Wendy's" he said. I have only ever had Wendy's once. And that was cold take out. They had nothing on the menu I would put in my mouth. Mostly because of my low carb lifestyle but also because I was being cranky because I wanted to go to Asia Kitchen! It's perfect for a low carb diet. Lots of meat and lots of veggies. Stay away from the rice and the noodle and it's $11 well spent. I had a cup of coffee. Momma Lee and Lisa had burger combos and Peter ordered a burger big as his head. It's like a pound of meat!

| Nothing to eat here. |
He says he'll eat the rest for dinner. As lunch with these two goes, this one wasn't bad. It's fast food on a number of different levels. It gets to you quick, you can eat it quick and it goes through you even quicker! If the Poop Fairy doesn't show up by day four I just threaten my colon with a Big Mac, and everything gets moving! Kind of like a Nuclear dump. Any way, Lisa was going to kick back while I took Peter home to Port Coquitlam. "Not so fast my delicate Petunia" I said " I'm dropping my backpack off at Lea's so she can fix the zipper and reinforce the bottom, you should come with me." " I think I'd just like to rest" she said with a voice dripping with the stench of processed meat. "C'mon, brush your teeth and we'll take the dogs"
I'm worried about Lisa. Not only did she come with me , she let me drive! We slipped Peter a little dough so he could get a haircut. I thought his hair was greasy and needed washed, but it turns out it's some kind of hair product and he likes it. He does need a haircut.

| Peter, looking very Hasidic |
I told him to pocket the money and cut his own hair. Why not, I do! Well, Lisa does the parts I can't reach.
We dropped him off near his home, which just happens to be one block from Lea's home. Lea is a massively talented friend of ours. A singer/songwriter, a hairdresser, (Hair Anywhere) and a very talented seamstress (Simply Sewing). Those are two of the businesses she runs out of her home. She does amazing Halloween costumes. Anyway I have this knapsack that I bought before we took our trip to Prague in 2006. It has been with me on all our travels since. It's wearing out. You can literally see through the material on the bottom and one of the zippers has detached. Lea to the rescue. It's not an expensive pack. I bought it at Walmart for like, $19 but it has three big compartments and three pouches and still fits under the seat of the plane. I was just going to replace it but they don't make that model any more. My knapsack had suffered the fate of the Twinkies, the Ding Dong and the Ho Ho!
Lea does great work and I highly recommend her for all your sewing/hairdo needs! I showed her the pack and she says "No problem". We sat around and chatted, then we played a couple of games of Bolo.

| Lea and Lisa, an uphill battle against the Squatchinator!! |
I won them both. It was close but like they say "the cream floats to the top!" Lisa reminded me, " So does the soap scum"

It was a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. We listened to a couple of her new songs they had just recorded and chilled. by the time we got home the Seahawks game was about to start. I had Devlin buffalo salami lettuce wraps on my way to tiny TV town.

I bought these tomatoes at thrifty foods. The best I've had this year.
BC field tomatoes. Yum Yum
 |
| BC field tomatoes ...OMG... this is what tomatoes taste Like! |
The Seahawks beat up on the Packers, Yay! About my jersey. When I got it, it fit me like five pounds of sausage in a three pound skin. Now, I could fit thirty- five pounds of butter in there.

| Who Dat Gonna Beat Dem Seahawks? |
At half time I had a big Crap Salad, not a Squatch Salad. This is one Lisa brought me. It's made entirely of stuff that tastes like crap but costs a lot of money because somebody told somebody it was cool to eat weeds! I ate it, but I didn't enjoy it. I washed it down with a couple of Cheese dog lettuce wraps. The way the cheese melted...maybe a grilled cheese lettuce wrap is possible. Fire up the iron Honey!
That's all I got.
Till next time.
Peace Out Y'all
