What'd you do today?

I officially have a mortgage now. Most I've ever been in debt.

I had today off and I did nothing.  I showered at 3:30 so I'd be clean when the wife came home from work.  I have tomorrow off and I have a few things to do.  Gotta get more rocks for a backyard project, grocery shop, meal plan for the week.  I'm probably going to try to hit up a range and put some rounds through my pistol too.  Should be a good Friday.

She was ok with it. I was a little worried about OOBD which isnwhy she shoulda had her glasses on but took them off betwwen strings and I'm sorry to say I didn't notice.

I also went for speech therapy and a form of occupational therapy and while I may have some odd mannerism and Rainman style recollection of the most bizzare minutiae I turned out ok.

Southpaw huh? How'd she do with the brass ejecting across her nose?

Had a hell of a weekend this week. Friday we had some occupational and speech therapists come by to evaluate our son. He's got a speech delay and a couple of other minor delays in his development. Luckily, MD is one of the best states in the whole of the US for that. He gets free therapy to help out with that stuff. Well, I say "free" but in reality, I probably pay higher taxes than most people on this forum (NJ excluded) and that's where the services come from.

That said, parenting is a frikken horror show when your kid isn't progressing along the standardized chart. You get everything from "well, he may have a hearing disorder" to "you might want to get him screened for the autism spectrum." Mind you, two days later, the kid is saying some simple two word sentences which mean he's progressing much more quickly with speech now, and he's having a mini language explosion with new words coming every day. I understand that it's the job of the screening folks to look for potential problems, but honestly, I just want to tell them to go "eff" themselves for making me second guess everything my son has been doing the past week. Takes the joy right out of parenthood.

Because of that, my memorial day weekend, which is usually good and relaxing was nothing but a huge ball of stress for me. I'm hoping to hit the skeet and trap range this Saturday to blow off some steam.

Going through stuff my dad brought home from grandma's house.  Found a Schebler DLX 124 carburetor, which my research says came from a 1940 Indian 4 cylinder.  I've been trying to find an example of one for sale to determine the value, but no luck.  Similar models have been in the $1,200 range though.  

I just jump with my head tilted until it finally comes out.

I went to a spring to swim yesterday and got water in my ear. It's still there and I'm trying to get it out.

My son will do most of the work. They still don't let me use the glue.

I sat on my butt, drank beer, and played a computer game. I had to stay up until 0600hrs to get myself back on schedule for the work week.

In Leonberg, nonetheless.
