An hour and a half, I am going to assume that it is already paid for or you would have left long ago.
That kind of happened to me at Dennys early in the week. They told me about 20 minutes for a table, so I told them to make it 'to go'. I paid and 25 minutes went inside and tracked it down. It's getting bad when the can only open one side of the restaurant at 25% capacity while the rest of the state is at 50%. They tell me they can't get enough staff to open more. Maybe it's a terrible place to work, or maybe unemployment is a wee bit over generous.

I think it was Willie that mentioned the same situation some time ago in St. Lewis. To me, it is discouraging wherever the problem is.

Watched that squirrel for about 15 mins. They always leave at sunrise and return at sunset. Like clockwork. He tried getting in. No go. Then he went back to his old hole. I think he was gnawing on the wood. Scared him away. Then he tried finding new holes. Threw a stick at him and chased him off. Set a trap in the attic in case there’s another squirrel up there. If I can’t shoot him maybe I can throw water balloons or sumpin at him. Send a message. Don’t want to shoot a hole in my roof. Gotta get rid of them somehow.

Pays more to collect unemployment than it does to work.

Sounds like the kitchen staff is back there doing Mellow Mushrooms. :sneaky:
I should’ve asked if I could join them.

Good Morning Army. Sitting here soaking feet and ankles in oatmeal bath treatment.
It's one of those don't know how it works but I know it works.
Another day of rest / cold compression / steroids and then I can try to get up early and drive to Richmond. Maybe this computerized automatic transmission day cab I am driving can make it easier (but slower).

Have a Safe and Blessed Day :)

Morning..... Scruffy slipped out on me yesterday. When I noticed he wasn't in the house I went out and called him. He came from where he did the last time. He didn't look very happy. It had started raining. He was just a bit damp.. ;) Glad I got the yard done, more rain this afternoon...

At least he notices you.
Sumpin to be said about that, huh?

My rodent friend returned, as usual. Used to be two squirrels. Now only one. He goes back n forth between the two holes he made. Unable to get through either one. Didn't stop me from chucking another stick at him. Scared the hell out of him. He finally quit and came off the roof. Miles and miles and miles of uninhabited woods and he has to make his home in my home. Put the trap below my office window in the front of the house. That's where he gets on the roof. He scales up the front of the house. So far he has shown zero interest in that blob of peanut butter.

Little vermin breached my mesh in the original hole. :censored:!!!! I cut up two small blocks of 2x4 and have it wedged/screwed in from the inside. No small task I might add. So the hole is sealed again...with wood and mesh. There was two pieces of mesh. One is large and wedged in real good. He hasn't been able to move that one. The other piece was smaller and not wedged as nicely. That's the one he breached. Once removed, he reached in with his grimy paw and pulled out a piece of packing foam I had stuffed between the rafters for insulation. Shredded it up and was laying all over the roof and ground. Little :censored:!!!
