You've just described my perfect vacation spot. Sitting on a pier in the north end of Lake Tahoe comes very close to this kind of heaven.

I don't think you are thinking like a chicken, sir. Nono2

Iagree
We have an appointment at 3:20PM, so we're going to stop at a NY-style pizza joint on the way back. This is the #2 pizza place, but #1 for calzones.

It's a quiet evening (well, mostly anyway) for VF tonight. Tomorrow's the day for my birthday steak dinner, just one week late. It's a miracle Mrs. Frog ever gets out of the house to do something besides pet sitting.

It will be mostly quiet here, there's a craft beer festival downtown, PG is working, and youngling will be washing dishes at the restaurant too. I may stroll down there for a bit.

Happy birthday (celebration) to me . . .


Up about 7, which is sleeping late for me. Plenty of good Coffee then went outside to begin completing the lanterns on the garage. They've been wired in and working for two weeks now, but only the left side was cleaned and painted. Today, the right lantern came down, came apart, and went into the sink with Bar Keepers Friend and a scrubbing sponge. The pieces came out looking a LOT better without the dirt, rust, and cheap lacquer. While they were drying out, we made a run to Eat Bojangles for a late breakfast, then Home Depot for some hardware and a gas-powered edger. I've been using the string trimmer to edge the sidewalk for years, and while it works, it's not the best tool for the job. Finally, to Sam's Club for regular necessities and two pork shoulder roasts for the BBQ I'm taking to work in two weeks. Wednesday night I'll season and rub the roasts, then let them marinade in the spices over Thursday and Friday before hickory smoking them for almost four hours next Saturday.

Since we returned home, we've masked off the glass on the lantern, primed almost all the parts/pieces, and shot the first coat of finish paint onto them. I rushed three coats of finish paint onto the first lantern, and it took a long, long time to cure/harden completely. I'm giving this one a lot more time between finish coats. I won't bother putting it back together until tomorrow sometime.

Right now, there's a lime custard pie in the oven making the house smell nice, and we're taking it easy this afternoon. Tonight we're heading to Fleming's Steakhouse uptown for my birthday dinner. We used to eat at Fleming's in Los Angeles when I was working with DIRECTV in the old days. I've been wanting to try them here in Charlotte for a while, and that opportunity comes this year. For many years, we've driven two hours up into the mountains to Boone to eat at The Peddler steakhouse. This year, we were planning to take a shorter drive to the new Peddler steakhouse in Hickory, NC. Until we saw all the terrible reviews on Yelp yesterday. shake head Nope, didn't feel like driving two hours to Boone again, either. Uptown it was. We had the choice of Ruth's Chris (really good, but not the best), Morton's (great, and maybe the best), or Fleming's (great, and maybe the best). My previous experience with Fleming's in L.A. made the decision for me. I plan to enjoy dessert there, as well. The lime custard pie will wait until tomorrow. Wink
