MONTH END

And so the weekend is upon us. Wow what a fast week. And what a fast month. And you know the last weekend of the month is upon us when you have to make multiple stops at multiple ATMs to try and draw some money out. No money left in the ATM. It took me a few tries yesterday, but eventually I found one.

So the lake/pond - well that's where the Balikpapan Loch Ness Monster lives. You know - the one from yesterday. I think I'm on the Scottish theme this week.

Tonight's the BIG DO. Robby Burns Supper tonight. No. There are no tickets left. SOLD OUT. .........and in typical Balikpapan fashion - way too many people waited until the last minute. Again.

TODAY: Still sipping away on coffee this morning - having a really slow start to this day. And enjoying it too. Maybe it's the rain. BIG RAIN. The best part of a big-rain-in-the-morning ...... is that the sun will be out this afternoon. Not too often do you get a whole day of rain around here. This morning's rain was the kind that sneaks up on you. No warning today - the usual pre-warning of thunder boomer sounds. Nope - this one snuck up on us from way back behind the house. Actually all week we've been having lots of thunder and no rain. Today we got the rain - and there's water all over the place. All the little puddles have formed into really, really big ones around here. But not in the house. Not YET. That actually did happen once.

Me and the other Me did, get our tickets to tonight's big event. (In advance) And looking forward to some good old fashioned Scottish fun. Whiskey and bagpipes, haggis and kilts. Going to be an interesting night. Too bad 'Shawn the Sheep' isn't in town. Actually maybe it's a good thing.

Special Note to the other Me: We have a brand new gas bottle for the shower. My turn this time. Yup, your right - a nice hot shower turning into freezing cold really SUCKS! And you know it's the weekend when that happens too.

Payday today for our favorite helpers - so better get going and take care of that.

Good to Go!
