I will be safely on our new property setting up the dog run we took down yesterday at our remote property, and setting up the horse corral panels we had stored out there.

LadyShooter dragged the area of the dog run and horse corral with the garden tractor we found on Craigslist and then we tore up the linoleum in the kitchen and took out one corner cabinet which was useless to us.

At no point will we be sucking down beers and gorging on fattening snacks, nor will we be hung over tomorrow. I know that is somehow considered Anti American, but...............

Mega half-spheroid container of holding day.

Is it the one where the Dodgers and Lakers are playing each other in that sporting match thing?

<<< Major Packers fan here. It's a day to say "screw it" to homework.

I thought it was the Pirates and Brewers.

That's odd. Usually on Sooperbowl Sunday, I have to endure the preacher carping about all the other churches having Sooperbowl parties. He didn't mention it this morning. He'll no doubt hit that theme in the evening service.

There's soup in a bowl? Of course there is! What else do you put soup in?

Bread!

Specifically, a hollowed out sourdough boule.

The world's perfect meal is chili in a bread bowl.

I've forgotten the name, but I think it involves people gathering around some moving picture device, often with alcoholic beverages and tasty snacks, to watch a showcase of advertisements that are often interrupted by images of large men in tight pants chasing each other around a field.

Goshdarnit. I was going to celebrate the holiday today by spending several hours in a near-deserted gym, working out without all those pesky "other people" in the way. But I forgot the impetus behind the extra-long gym session today, got busy with kids and other stuff at home, and never got there. Darn.

Had to work today, got work truck stuck in mud, accidentally cut myself, yeah today sucked

But now I'm home and have two days off to rest and recover...I've got stuff to do around home, but not a damn thing is going to get done.

Is it wrong for my wife and I to be fast-forwarding through all the football stuff in order to get to the commercials quicker?....

Is this the place where I post that I'm not watching the superbowl even though I'm home?

We should start a club.

I was at work, but even if I hadn't been I wouldn't have been watching it. Not even for the commercials. Not a sports person.

Nope, he didn't mention it at all.

I'd get more personal satisfaction shoveling a pickup load of manure onto my garden than I would watching the stuperbowl.

Actually, before this last snow storm covered us in evil white stuff, several members of the farmer's market I sell at were planning a manure hauling day for Sunday.
