Not even nine o clock in the morning yet, but I managed to write a short story in Serbian, then I wrote 4 and half pages longhand into the new diary I`m writing for my daughters next birthday, fed my cat, got my gear ready to work out pretty soon ( even though I`m still a bit under the weather, but I simply have to get moving a little, it`s a part of my life to work out ), took the trash out, made fresh coffee to be ready for my wife when she gets up ( I already had a ton of that stuff :D )...so yeah, a pretty productive morning.
Anything is possible when you don`t have a hangover. :)

What is this a new release? If so I need it

So, 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.
hey

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! ;-D

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 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 :)

We don't have any Mexican restaurants nearby, so we just make our own.

Today I am going to plant more seeds into my little greenhouse and will hopefully have some lovely seedlings before too long. We're starting to go the permaculture way with the greater part of the front, back and river-side yards... we are only at the soil conditioning stage, but I'm still going to be able to have tomatoes, herbs, pumpkins, peppers, silverbeet etc in my little garden in the front yard.
