Good morning, everybody!
I'm pretty happy because I was able to get my car serviced this morning. That should leave me plenty of time this weekend to snuggle up near the Christmas tree with a blanket and a book. I got out of swimming at about 7:30, went straight to the dealer, and was home by 10:00. Marilyn even found a coupon that i used to save $15.
The rest of the day is mostly going to be Crossfit and checking my email. This weekend, I have Christmas shopping and Crossfit, but otherwise restful family time. Tomorrow I am going to try and watch the Army/Navy game. We have family members on both service sides, but I usually root for Navy. Its kind of exciting that both teams are good this year.
QOTD: My friend Au Contraire went to the epic 1973 Watkins Glen concert: Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers and The Band. That would be pretty high on my list. Chrissy saw Peter Frampton in 1976, which is also pretty cool
Breakfast: English muffin
Lunch: egg sandwich
Dinner: TBD
Have a great weekend everybody!

Dylan is one that I would love to attend. When he was young and not known yet, the other singers and actors who knew him thought his voice was so strange that it was hopeless for him to ever have a singing career.
My newest ambition is to learn how to be a great baker. I never did baking partly because I refused to use things like flour, sugar, and butter thinking I was being healthier. Most of the stuff I baked with margarine, protein powder and artificial sweetners was not that good. Now I have time on my hands and not so worried about "bad" foods.
I made a loaf of oatmeal honey bread this week that turned out pretty heavy and dense. Now I am looking for better recipes. What I made does taste good, but I want a nicer texture. Some of my other projects will be lemon cranberry scones, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and pound cake. No mixes, learning how to do it from scratch.
It is fun and I know I can pass some baked stuff off to my nieces and nephews.

Morning gang. It's cold here. And it's still other even winter.
Nothing exciting happening here. JB is busy all weekend with classes. I'll be in the ship, making chips and dust.
QOTD: I guess I'd like to see a few acts when they were young and unknown. Dylan, Springsteen.

good mornin everyone! Happy Friday!
Not much happening today. My niece turned 12 yesterday and her party is Sunday that is also my brothers birthday. So I've got to make two dirt cakes and an egg custard pie tomorrow. Need to get the last minute things for that. We'll probably go to Sam's for eggs and maybe to the dollar tree.
I've got some pics to post but I have to edit em. Will post in a reply!
QOTD: who is your dream concert? Any band or musician in any era,
Mine would have to be either the Beatles or Mozart. Mostly just to experience it. Modern era would be Slipknot.
B: eggs, cheese, and coffee
L: ????
D: shrimp and veggie rice
Happy Anniversary. Let me know what seafood dish you made for your celebration.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I knew a lot of those ladies when they were young and crazy and some of them would have thrown a chair. But we were in redneck bars then, not the senior center. They all behave well now.

Happy Anniversary!
I had my 1 year knee checkup this morning, and they seemed pretty happy. I don't need to go back unless I have an issue.
Food is on track, which feels nice. JB has two classes this weekend, but nothing else is really going on. Which is nice.
QOTD: I don't have any plans for new exercise next year. Just keep doing what I've been doing.

I'm glad there's a picture. I was worried chair volleyball involved tossing a chair over a net.
