Eh, not much. Did a little bit of writing, spent time with my father while my mother is out of town. I feel happier today than I usually am.

Nice touch with the guitar, swiftdog2.0. The next generation of Rockers need the support as they always have and I'm sure your gift was appreciated.
heySo, today I gave one of my guitars to my cousin’s son. His dad (my cousin) and I have been close since we were kids. More like brothers than cousins. He took his son to a Green Day show for his birthday and he’s wanted a guitar since then. I gave him one of my Charvel Les Paul copies. I got it cheap on eBay and don’t really play that guitar much so I figured I’d give it to him. It’s a plus to start out with a quality instrument.
After that I went to my local record store and picked up the special blood splattered vinyl release of the Christine soundtrack. I’ll post pics later.
Then I did some car shopping. Looked at and test drove a 2017 BMW 330i X drive and a 2017 Cadillac ATS AWD. Not sure if I’m ready to give up the bit**n’ Camaro yet but both places offered a very good trade-in amount.
I’m leaning towards the BMW. Peppy twin turbo 4 cylinder. The Cadillac is a turbo 4 as well but had a definite turbo lag. The BMW handled better as well.
Caught the end of the Sox game. They finally clinched the AL East!
Finishing up the laundry now.
Dinner in a bit. Leaning towards Chinese.
We got a Taco's Johns here in town. I think we are going to try it out for lunch. Anyone ever heard of Taco John's?
Just bought a new essential oil for the diffuser. Neroli oil, to promote relaxation.....it smells soooo good!
WD-40.....Does that come in 5W-30 or just 10W-40?
WD-40.....
I'm willing to share.........
I've got a few squeaky places where this might come in handy........
...maybe this will help...We did not make it to the fair because my car began to smoke while sitting in traffic.
We have many Taco John's restaurants here! Their Potato Olés are so good. The rest is typical Americanized fast food, but not too bad. The Hispanic guys I date call it John's Tacos.We got a Taco's Johns here in town. I think we are going to try it out for lunch. Anyone ever heard of Taco John's?
That's so sweet. This ad is hilarious....typical New England accent!...maybe this will help...
That's awesome!!!Took the kiddo to Busch Gardens Saturday. She has a season pass and it was bring a friend to Howl-o-Scream day. Got to the park around 10:30am.
Rode in this order:
Griffon (front row)
InvadR (last row)
Alpengiest (front row)
Verbolton (middle but it doesn't matter)
Apollo's Chariot (last row)
and Lochness Monster (next to last row)
Took a break and headed to our hotel room for a late lunch and rest, then on to Howl-O-Scream. The scary folks come out after 6pm. We got there at 5:15 and hit one "haunted house" type attraction - Unearthed: Scarlett's Revenge. Not great. Mostly folks jumping out of a very dark hallway and screaming at you. Felt very sorry for the little boy whose ??Grandparents?? brought him in behind us. He was traumatized. NOT a venue for little kids!!
Walking through the Terror-tories is fun! Vampires, Demons with chainsaws (why??), Ghostly vikings, Jack-the-Ripper type folks parade around and try (and sometimes succeed!) in scaring you!
Got in line for Alpengiest and after an hour and two cars away it broke down. I told the kid it was better being that close, than being on it when it happened. Left there and got into Griffon line. Only 30 mins later we were on. So cool to ride at night into the stars. Could see all the park areas with their spooky lights! A good way to end the evening. Had a blast and hope to do it again next year!
We spend around 6 hours total in the park and my phone recorded 21,168 steps!

We don't have any Mexican restaurants nearby, so we just make our own.We don’t have that chain in NE.
I do like Pink Taco. Before we all go straight to the gutter with that, it’s a restaurant in the Hard Rock hotel in Las Vegas
