Friday Night Fights...

... no, no fighting, but I've always like the Friday Night Fights!

Anyway, left work about 20 minutes early. My boss came around about 15 minutes prior to that and said, "Hey, it's been a long week, so why don't you knock off early." But, I had some information yet to get and a phone call yet to make. Still, 20 minutes early was nice.

Today was payday, so stopped and filled up the tank, bought some chewing tobacco, then went to Murry's Auto and got some "de-icer" windshield washer fluid and some gas-tank additive that was supposed to lubricate moving parts, clean the fuel injectors, eliminate any water in the gas tank, ensure my erections (wait, I made that part up), etc. Threw that into the full tank of gas (see, I normally do add this stuff each time I get my oil changed, - easy to remember it that way - but somehow missed it the last time) and, so now, I fear no Mr. Winter!!!

Got home and it was still light enough, so grabbed the leaf blower and cleared off the patio and under the bird feeder (the birds get confused trying to find the spilled seed under the leaves). Probably still a week's worth of falling leaves before I can talk to the guy down the street and have all them blown away and then I can clean out the gutters, one last time...

Sauteed onion slices in olive oil and butter and then added smoked sausage, cut on the bias. No potatoes, this time. I figured if I needed the starch, I could always heat up the leftover dirty rice.

Did a few more clean-up chores... For example, put the 19 inch TV that was Carla's, back in the attic (tricky bit of balancing, but I kept forgetting to ask Jake for help) and then called it good.

Bad night for insomnia... I was awake much more than asleep, all night long. It's currently after 9:00 AM and, in spite of the chores I must do, I wish I could just get some sleep...

I am SO tired...
