Not really. That is a *large* beer for the GG. Usually he only orders one that size after he’s hiked umpteen gazillion miles in hot sun or whatever and sometimes lately he prefers iced tea. Today, after a few days of hard labor, I think his goal was a nice long afternoon snooze and he did achieve that goal. Unfortunately (for him) he woke up to me trilling, “Honey, the terlet seat is broken!” So he has spent the last 45 minutes dredging up an old toilet seat from the garage and installing it until we can get a new one. Which we can’t, at least not immediately, because we are leaving for The Planet Ann Arbor tomorrow and have a sorta faar-drill day ahead of us involving FlaMan. Like I always say in defense of my own personal MAGA man, he can fix terlets!

We had a couple green bags to take to the “dump” today (official name is “trash compactor”) and I was adamant that this adventure would include lunch, not that I encountered any resistance to that. There are two restaurants (that serve beer, etc.) in the vicinity of the moomincabin and we chose Pickles. (There are lots of decent restaurants in Sault Ste. Siberia but we didn’t want to drive that far and it is also not in the direction of the dump.)

A good time as always. A young cousin of ours has just started working there. She was not our waitress (our waitress was wonderful) but we did get to talk to her. It was (as usual) almost empty at noon so she had a bit of time to chat. When she was a young child, she lived next door for a while and was always bopping in and out of the moomin. I would be telecommuting or whatever and she would come along and I would say, “He’s in the garage.” Whooosh! Off she would go to the garage.

P.S. We listened to the beginning of the Orange Baboon’s “speech” today on the way to Pickles and all I have to say is when he wasn’t ego-tripping, I couldn’t understand what the heck he was talking about. Thankfully, we got to Pickles 15-20 minutes into his “speech” and they had 80s/90s rock playing and it was a welcome relief from the OB.
