Thoughts on the Day

  • The tent dried out nicely and is packed and ready to go camping this weekend.
    • There was a bit of water to be bailed and mopped up in a couple of low spots on the floor, but seeing as how we got over 3 inches of rain last night, with strong winds, I’m happy with it.
    • Irish Woman decided to damp mop the floor of the tent because I’d tracked a bit of dirt in.
      • Apparently I’m the reason we can’t have nice things.
    • The people who wrote the reviews for the tent all said that we’d never be able to get it back in the factory bag, and Irish Woman thought we might have to put it in one of my old duffel bags.
    • I am happy to report that the tent is not only in its original bag, but has more room in there than it did coming from the factory.
    • Don’t tell me I can’t roll up a tent nice and tight, yuppie scum. A decade in the Scouts and a decade in the Army made me a level III tent folding master.
  • The new dishwasher is in and running.
    • I will be having a chat with our feline contingent.  It is unacceptable to have mouse nests behind the dishwasher, even if they are abandoned.
  • Preparations are underway for the annual Hoosier Roundup.
    • Posting’s going to be slow to non-existent this weekend.
  • Our menu this weekend is going to consist of foods I don’t have to work hard to make.
    • Yeah, it’s not haute cuisine, but few have been killed by a diet of hot dogs, ketchup, potato chips, and roasted marshmallows.
    • I am, however, going to try to make a decent venison stew for dinner one night.
  • While getting all of the camping stuff out of the basement, I came to the conclusion that we take altogether too much stuff camping.
  • Good thing I didn’t cancel my flight for next weekend.  My trip is back on.
  • Say what you will about Walt Disney, but the man was a genius when it came to entertaining children.
    • Boo has been watching 60 and 70 year old Disney cartoons on Netflix lately, and he’s more interested in them than he has ever been with the dreck that’s on the Disney Channel or Nickelodeon.

    I’ve never understood why Disney doesn’t show the classic stuff any more. The old cartoons from the 40s and 50s are what I watched growing up, and they hold up pretty well (at the time I didn’t know they were made that far back, so I just always wondered why Mickey had such an old car).

    The old family movies Disney made still hold up pretty well too, but they had to come up with Hannah freakin’ Montana and all that junk for reasons I don’t understand.
