What's on your Tuesday Menu?

Good morning everybody!

RIP Jimmy Buffet. I saw him play twice. The first time was at Wrigley Field about two months before surgery. It was probably the last time that I felt uncomfortably large in public. Scrunched into a seat built 100 years ago with a full house.

The next year I saw him again but I was 90 pounds lighter and in that Year 1 glow. That concert was at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. Which, and I say this in the most endearing and loving way possible is an absolute ****show. 5 mile parking lines, Wisconsin cheeseheads drinking since 7 AM, people wandering into cornfields to pee, endless food lines, festival seating. But I loved it.

My favorite five:

1) Come Monday

2) A Pirate Looks at 40

3) Pencil Thin Mustache

4) Bama Breeze

5) Cheeseburger in Paradise

He played a credible of Scarlet Begonias as well. (Less so Uncle John?s Band).

My trip down to Birmingham was pretty uneventful until I got a text from Marilyn that my son had COVID. I tried not to get too close to him and I?m going to take a self test in a few minutes. I feel fine. negative, yay!

I stayed with friends in Nashville on Saturday and then flew home Sunday night. We rented a Toyota Fourrunner which I liked driving. Yesterday we got Marilyn?s kayak launched.

All of the research that Marilyn did paid off because the lift system worked well. I do need to get her wheels because it was too heavy for her to carry her side to the water.

Breakfast: egg sandwich

Lunch: Roast Beef

Dinner: Stuffed Cabbage

Have a great day all!

Glad you are COVID free.

Come Monday is my fav JB song, too.

I figured that. I think our parents drove around Mass listening to the same 70's soft rock station. When I was typing, I almost put in parentheses (definite Amy vibe).

I am glad your test was neg and hope your son is already feeling better.

I hope you continue to feel well and remain COVID free.

I saw Jimmy Buffet at least 20 years ago in Las Vegas. He has quite the following of fans. It was a good concert, but I will admit that I didn't know very many of his songs. Mostly just the more popular ones.

What was ever decided about the Bronco. I know Marilyn took the one that was available, but I thought there was talk about trading it for the one she actually had ordered... Also, remind me what lift system she purchased for her kayak. The wheels for the kayak are key for transporting to and from the water. Those things are heavier than they look plus the length makes them cumbersome.

My brother was on a destroyer in Subic Bay in 1991 when Mount Pinatubo erupted. Ash was piling up on deck faster than snow in a blizzard. They were clearing the decks with shovels. And they played Jimmy Buffet's "Volcano" over the loudspeakers, on a loop.

I don't know

i don't know

I don't know where I'm a gonna go

when the volcano blows

my favorite album of his is Banana Wind, could listen to it over and over

Glad you are negative. I hear about Covid popping up everywhere. I hope we all stay safe. Even so I will never take another dose of any vaccine for Covid. Glad Marylyn got in some Kayak time. My SIL has one I should probably grab it and try it sometime.

I am taking another booster. I read the new version of the booster is coming out early Oct. I am taking it because I wanna see my mom and I don't want to get her sick. Plan is to go home the last part of Oct and I sure don't wanna take any virus with me to my 82 year old mom. Sometimes you gotta do things for others.

5he day the new booster is out, I'll sign up for it. And the flu and RSV as well.

CDC is saying it's fine to get the flu and covid shots at the same time, but recommend spacing the RSV by a couple of weeks.
