9594 – Sunday
Went out with Larry this morning to have the green truck looked at (no relation to the element issues) – It was a nice guy’s morning out, even though we were stymied at every attempt to get the truck looked over by a mechanic. Same thing happened when we went to look for breakfast – Denny’s and The Double T diner was jam packed, so we headed closer to home from Annapolis, and were lucky enough to see Selby’s unofficially open – they were there baking the bread and goodies for later in the day. We got some scrambled eggs and toast – worked for us!
We stopped off at the blue house, and rotated the tires – we’ll see if that fixed the humming in the long run – right now, the sound is good.
After doing truck-work, Larry applied another coat of laquer to the guitar – it’s coming along nicely – my photos don’t do the grain any justice whatsoever.
Got home, and was feeling pretty bad again in the ol’ gizzard – BHK and I went to Calvert Kettle Corn to get Sean part of his birthday snack – we refilled his 2 gallon bucket, brought some ice cream, and BHK made him a lovely blue cake with cherry chips inside.
Spent a little time at the Masnpergers – good karaoke and birthday fun, but my gut was bugging me and we headed home. I had a few crackers for dinner, but basically took it easy.
New Dr. Who was pretty good – the last episode before the 08 finale – "turn left" – I don’t know what was up with Rose’s lisp, though.Hurt her teeth?

9593 – Saturday –
Fasted since 8pm last night through this morning – got my sonogram done, but I have to reschedule my upper GI. I got copies for myself, may photograph ’em, and show images of my spleen / liver and assorted guts as shown by echo. The technician was unimpressed when I asked if I was having a boy or a girl…. probably has heard it a million times.
Possible issues could be gastritis, ulcer, gallstones, kidney stones, or the all-encompassing "OTHER".
BHK made some scones – blueberry/ginger and maple/oatmeal/pecan. Both were quite good, but contrary to my usual, I’ll have to go with the maple being just slightly superior to the blueberry ones.
Spent part of the day playing Fallout 3 on the PC, and BHK played more Boom Blox on the Wii.
The Element has some issues – likely due to the tree falling on it back in June. It seems that the Frame is bent, and that’s causing a lot of wear on the tires. instead of being | | they skew slightly like this / . Insurance is resistant to taking care of it, since it’s been a while, but we’re trying to get it ironed out – looks like about $1000 to $3000 to repair, so I may not be going to Punxy next weekend – Due to both the cost, and the time it will take to repair the love cube.
The in-laws took us out to Selby bay – I’m still eating light, but I could do a 1/2 veggie sub and fries.
I forgot to mention that the grocery lady Patricia asked me where my "nutty wife" was – BHK got a kick out of it, and I’m starting to be recognized a bit by the locals after having been in the region for two years and change. It doesn’t hurt to have a charismatic and outspoken wife, either.

Went to hospital for a gut – check – Doc gave me meds, and prescribed an Upper GI / sonogram. Digestive tract is treating me mean – but now I have some meds to tide me over. Sonogram tomorrow, Upper GI next week. Also got Allergy shots today, since I was in the area, and work told me that I didn’t have to come in.
Stopped at the library – got boom blox for the wii- cute, but not a purchase. one night was enough.
BHK made some tasty soup! pot pie squares (noodles), broccolii, cabbage, peas, carrots, celery veggie "beef" stock. really good.

BHK brought the element in for an alignment at the dealer today. Mechanical issue, it turns out. Insurance should cover it, but it has to be looked over first.
The moon was orbiting pretty close tonight, I nearly banged my head on it. My gut is still out of whack – I may have to go to the doctor tomorrow if this keeps up. Cereal and Milk for dinner – that should soothe a bit.
Pye, birdwatching this morning, as we left the house.
Self-portrait taken at midday today, with a tiny self-portrait inside the phone.
I think I look odd here – overhead lights, I guess. I’ve lost a little weight, but still working on it.
Note the dueling scar just between cheekbone and beard.
I have an irrational fear of post-getting a tattoo – I figure that as soon as I get one, I’ll accidentally scar my body in a way as to make the design appear torn or crooked.
That said, I don’t know what sort of tattoo I’d ever get.
