83rd edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....

May 17, 2024

Through all these years, I never knew I should use two laundry pods for a full load of laundry. I assumed one load, one pod. Kelly said it's because I don't read directions. That's true.

After all these years, we made a first visit to Bill Finke & Sons in Fort Wright. Old school butcher shop and market. We got excellent steaks and twice baked potatoes. We will be back.

Peyton's graduation at Yum Center sure beat the drive thru diploma pick-up at Simon Kenton High School during Covid.

Are Danny Reagan and his partner, Baez, going to get together before this final season of Blue Bloods ends?

You know what's a great album? Toto IV

What if the 2024 Reds are the 2011 Reds? A step back season after an out of nowhere season ('10), setting up a big jump season ('12)?

Anyone else coordinate their final bites of a meal to make sure the best part of the meal is your last bite?

While watching Friends with Peyton, it really hit me how annoying Ross was.

My granny used to make me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich by putting both in a bowl, stirring it around, and spreading it on the bread. The best!

Family discussion this week: The music of Shaboozey. For the record, I was on the cutting edge and leading the talks. Peyton and Kelly were playing catch up.

Why can't restaurants serve the shrimp with the tail shell already pulled off?

Two pocket essentials for me in junior high: Black plastic comb. Bottle of Binaca spray blast.

When I think of May, I think of Eric Davis. He was the baddest man on the planet in May of 1987.

Ever play the Cow Game while on vacation as a kid? I'd sit on one side of the car, my sister on the other. You got credit for all the cows you passed. First one to collect 200 cows won. But, pass a graveyard and you lost all your cows and had to start over.

Peyton's stolen/recovered car has been sitting in a Louisville auto body shop since Monday. We wait for an estimate from the shop and a decision from insurance. Incredibly frustrating.

We are enjoying Hacks. Strong writing and two excellent characters playing off each other.

Visit Nashville, Indiana some time. Nice little town. Stop at Nashville Spice Co. (Cincinnati owners) Get the Old West Steak & Burger Seasoning.

My new Ego trimmer is a game changer. After years of banging the trimmer to get more line....or stopping...opening....pulling.....this one has Line IQ PowerLoad and gives me an automatic feed as I need it!

I'll say this again: Just enjoy Elly. He can't even be a free agent until 2030. It's 2024.

Cool baseball name: Sixto Lezcano.

Songs I cranked up while driving this week: Stayin' Alive, The Bee Gees and Feels Like the First Time, Foreigner

Don't worry about things you don't care about
