Teach a man to fish, and he'll be able to eat for a lifetime. Teach a Nigerian to phish, and he'll become a prince

I'd be okay if this damned headache went away. Been almost 2 months now. Constant ache with the occasional actual pain. Head pounds when I bend over, cough, sneeze, or fart too hard. Probably time to e-mail my Doc again.

Lazy Sunday. Lazy weekend actually. Took SWMBO to Arby's last Thursday and then to WinCo since we really needed Bacon and a few other things 'right now.' Sort of a Date Day a day early.

Then, Friday, I took her to Denny's partially because I didn't really feel like cooking, partly because Friday IS Date Day, and partially because we needed to stop at WinCo across the street and get some things we forgot Thursday. (Wet Cat Food for one. Personally, I'd hate to have to wet my cat before feeding it. And what about the dry cats? Don't get me started.)

Saturday SWMBO went off to the Genealogy Library as per her usual Saturday. I processed 9 trays of Banana's (@ $.33/lb at WinCo this week) and a tray of grapes. I found I could feed the grapes through the banana slicer if I didn't mind doing one or two at a time. Which I did so I got out the food processor and used the slicer blade. Worked just fine. Kinda sorta messy cuts but cuts non-the-less. Off to the freezer and then the freeze dryer last evening.

The rest of the day was doing 'things' around the house. Watering the garden. Transplanting a couple of those sycamore trees to the front yard. (They're doing fine!)

Damned Trash Panda's have found my grape plant and are wreaking havoc by pulling grapes off then dropping them to the ground when they find them not ripe. I put one of my trail cams out there and have some great shots of them climbing the trellis. So I put grease on all the uprights today and we'll see if that slows them down any. Grapes are starting to turn purple though. Sure hope there are some left after ...

Today, Sunday, was the laziest day I've had in a long time. I mylar bagged the freeze dried banana's and grapes (the finished fairly quickly!) and more 'stuff' around the house. SWMBO is starting her prep for her colonoscopy so I didn't have to cook dinner for two.  So I had Hot Dogs and chips.

Other than that: made the bed. Watered the garden. Added some more grease to the uprights on the trellis. Played on the Quest 3 a bit (but the headache made me stop way sooner than I wanted to). Played with the AI thing.

I do enjoy making those old family photo's from the way-back-when move. I can even pay extra and have it give voice to them; but why?

Ah, well. Three more episodes of Grimm and I'll be done with that. What to start next?
