Morning in the Hop (slow)

fucking blackouts

oh well, the UPS did its job

Driving up to Farragut, Iowa today to help my brother move.

I don't know how one of my fish survived the night. He's been doing whirly-twirlies in the tank since yesterday morning. I knew it was coming, he hasn't eaten in like 3 weeks. I'm surprised he lasted this long.

Meeting the sister-in-law for breakfast this morning and getting a dining room table and chairs from her. Now I won't have to eat in my chair all the time anymore. Although who am I kidding, I probably still will all the time.

Finally finished all the major reconstruction/framing in the den as of lunchtime today. Pics of course:

Now on to the other 2 walls

One great thing about living in the Midwest.

Here's what I made myself for dinner tonight since I am all alone.

Went to this place out in the country by my parent's house. There's a huge farm out there and they literally grow everything, including livestock. So, I picked up a pound of freshly butchered hamburger and bacona(they have an inhouse meat market and butcher on site 24 hours a day), went out back and picked a big sweet onion, some red and green peppers, a zucchini, half pound of whitecap mushrooms, a dozen ears of sweet corn, pickles, and home made mustard.

Came home, fired up the grill, soaked the corn and cooked away. So I ended up with 4 burgers, served on homemade buns which I baste with butter, garlic and parsley. Cut up the onion and pickles for condiments. Fried up the bacon in a little bit of brown sugar. Threw the corn on the grill along with the peppers and zucchini, which I basted in butter, and sprinkled with garlic and sweet basil, and sat down to a good ass grilled meal.

Tomorrow I'm heading to my favorite pizza joint for lunch. It's called Lacopos and they have the best damn pizza I've ever had. They're straight from Italy, and they have the best Italian food around here.

There is a little farm like that around here actually.

Running back ups at the moment.
