I knew it would happen eventually. Last weekend was spent with the girlfriend so we didn’t get to the park at our usual time (she is wonderful, but one of those chronically never-on-time people — still a keeper though) and none of Lily’s friends showed up during the weekdays (even though the afternoons/evenings were glorious as late May often is here). So I have to reach back for some previously shot but never aired Lily vids. There is no snow on the ground now.
Some kind of whiplashy stuff going on, but since you’re used to dealing with bad luck anyway, you can focus on the unexpectedly good things headed our way.
Monday and Tuesday are going to be really good days. An unusual construction involving Mercury, Venus and Jupiter means good fortune in all areas. Tuesday might have a bit (well, rather a lot actually) of instability since the moon and Mercury will be at cross-purposes but it should all work into the directions of Love and Happiness with Venus and Jupiter being the principal drivers. Then there is a really good day for Taurus on Wednesday when it adds Venus to its planetary stable. Thursday… well all good things have to come to an and, and boy do they ever, especially for Aries. Anger, hatred, rage, destruction, all of the things that happen when Mars and Saturn link up are what to look forward to on Thursday. Fortunately that doesn’t last too long, so maybe take a vacation day then.

Cancer: Blank –
Leo: The Fool – Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, bewrayment.
Virgo: Temperance reversed – Things connected with churches/religions, disunion, unfortunate combinations, competing interests.

Scorpio: 3 of Coins reversed – Mediocrity, puerility, pettiness, weakness.
Sagittarius: 10 of Wands – Oppression, any kind of success and then it is the oppression it. False-seeming, disguise, perfidy.

Pisces: King of Coins reversed – A rich guy is acting counter to your purposes. Moreso than normal, I mean.
Aries: Ace of Coins – Perfect contentment, felicity, ecstasy, speedy intelligence, gold.
Dafuq.
Not necessarily bad if you happen to like those things.
Tell the truth: Lily now thinks of the GF as The Other Woman, doesn’t she? (And justifiably so!)
Lily loves the gf.
The gf stops by the house when I’m at work and plays with her.

I finally get to kick the football!
Since I know nothing about astronomy or astrology and don’t care, everyday is a good one.
Yesterday the repair guy picked up my lawn tractor (pick up/delivery is $50 and worth it) and my neighbor agreed to replace some wood siding, scrape and paint the cabin. If past experience is any indicator their prices will be fair. Since these are not emergencies time is not of an essence. This should be the last time painting on the cabin, I did the work myself in the past but the gas gauge is running a little low these days.
Cabin is available anytime for Glibs, except HH, family always comes first.
…family always comes first.

Further reflection needed. I just got an adjustable butt plate for my Feinwerkbau 124*, but when I went to see about installing it this morning, I realized that the hole spacing isn’t in any way adaptable to my stock. So, I am not going to drill into the wood, but will, instead, put new mounting holes in the adaptor plate. No big deal, just annoying, as it is one more step to take as you already need to reshape the edge to fit the contour of the butt.
*This was the shizznitt air rifle 30-40 years ago, but now it is like going to the Monterrey classics; a very competitive for what it is, a high end sporter, but nowhere near the current 10-meter rifles, which are akin to an F1 car.
Butt stuff. Always with the butt stuff round here…
And messicans.

Re: Zelle
I tried five times. The first four times I was required to receive a phone call to write down an eight-digit number. My phone hung up on them without telling me a call had even arrived. After I figured that out, the call came and it hung up on me.
Conclusion: Zelle sucks.
It’s really bizarre that everybody spoke only Russian today in Moscow except for my partner and me. The previous time I visited the place was a few days before the 2018 World Cup with hordes of soccer fans already everywhere. Hopefully, it will be warmer than 40F tomorrow and later.

Great place to visit with a massive menu – hope to make it here for Sun Brunch the rest of my stay here – esp being easy walking distance from the base. Was considering joining their mug club even though I’d only be here for a month – but sounds like their maxed out – will probably still buy a stein before I leave – different than the normal pint glass.
Maybe they benefit from not having a social media, but having twitter/fbook is handy for linking/promoting too.
