what a day-went to the eye doctor this morning...she said everything was looking about the same,which is good. "Ramblin' Man" unloaded the load I brought in last night,which is good. Jobyna and I stopped by the Food Lion in Rustburg on the way home,where they had T-bone and top sirloin on sale.Which is good. We got a few groceries,I picked out a great looking top sirloin steak from the reduced rack,and told her to pick out any steak she wanted,and i'd cook it when we got home.She picked a nice T-bone,one I started to get for her myself. When you decide to do steak,which we don't too often,it's nice to pick the one you want,right? That's good. She likes hers a little more rare than I do,like so rare a good vet could get it back on it's feet,so I put my steak on the grill first.I was using the little small round grill with three legs because I was only doing two steaks,and when I attempted to adjust the draft on the bottom the whole grill tipped over,dumping the great looking top sirloin on the ground Very bad. She said "i'll take it inside and rinse it off,it'll be ok". But it had dirt in all the nooks and crannies,so I gave it to the dogs. I was mad as #*!! So I went rummaging through the freezer and found a pack of cube steaks,defrosted them in the microwave,and was going to grill them when the kids from next door came over,being about 3,4 ,and 5 years old. They wanted to play with Otherdog ( the beagle,not me),then they wanted to go inside,then they wanted something to eat,so we got a package of hotdogs out of the freezer and I cooked them ,along with the cubed steaks. Then Jobyna sprayed some "Off" on the little boy's legs and he commenced to squalling,saying "I'm gonna tell!",then ran home. The little girl was crying because she had to go. So I wrapped up 5 hotdogs ,kept 4, (I dropped one of them on the ground too!) and Jo took them next door,and all is well now...until I found out mom next door is a U.Va. fan,and i'm diehard Va. Tech.

I told Jobyna I'd just leave her steak in the refrigerator,get another one tomorrow,and we'll still enjoy a nice steak dinner together...which is good.

sorry,best picture I could come up with today...
