I heard a guy on the the radio the other day say he grew up in a haunted house.
Said he was being held down and choked all the time by ghosts.
Seriously.
He also had other comments about spirits talking to him all the time to this day.
Also all the fortune tellers he went to that just knew too much about him to be fake.
Had a friend that wanted to borrow fifty bucks so he could call his fortune teller.
Not gonna happen.
Talked to a guy that said he had dozens of pictures he took of ghosts.

My husband & I watch those ghost hunter shows. Because they are so funny. Never have seen so many jumpy, easily-spooked idiots in one place - except for those crazy mountain monster hunters. 😂

Most all those shows are just acting, my wife swallowed it hook line and sinker and couldn't figure out why I wasn't interested.
One of my favorite shows was scare tactics mostly because I was raised in a family that loved to scare and pull pranks on each other.
One time my biology and chemistry teacher in high school made a stink bomb in the lab that put the whole school out for the day.
Another time he had something brewing in the lab and I drank it to his horror.
The guy was making moonshine in school.
Those were the good ole days for sure.

Seems as though my work mate and I have been put into a "special" position at work from what I have heard from hear say.
I have no idea what this is.
What I did do knowing people gossip I planted a seed to my work mates and my own benefit.
My work mate and I got a text today (((Saturday))) from our supervisor thanking us for our flawless time sheets we put in every week.

I watched a video last night by an astronomer on interstellar space travel and warp drive.

The remote control and computer link to my irrigation controllers.
I found it in a box it fell into.
Been lost for weeks and I need it to reprogram my system.
I just knew I didn't leave it on the bumper of my truck.
Was moving some fishing poles around and it was bumped into the box and slithered under something.
This is a very good day very good day indeed.

Just so as I didn't have to go and wait at some virus infested place for lord knows how long I dragged my lazy butt outside and changed my own oil and oil filter in the truck.
Before the heat set in and the sun was up high.
Took about 15 minutes and way less money than Lightning Lube.
Changed the air filter the other day during lunch.

Hope you didn't miss a day of work! I never know what day it is anymore unless one of us has a Dr appt and they call the day ahead to remind us.
Edited to add: except for Wednesdays. That's Senior Citizen Discount Day at the grocery store. So that's my shopping day.

If my memory has not failed me, stochiometric is the optimum point at which an electrical charge is delivered to a cylinder of an internal combustion engine at the beginning of a power stroke to derive the maximum potential energy from the fuel. It can also be applied to life when everything is in balance to allow life to be lived to it's maximum potential.

In the army, stochiistic meant your weapon was clean, your bed was made, your boots were polished, your hair was cut "high and tight" and the soldier was prepared to meet any problem which may appear. The words good and bad did not exist. Every variable was either stochiistic or not stochistic.

I saw a baby fawn and mother in the road by my house this morning on the way to work.
I slowed down and stopped they just stood by the side of my truck for a wee bit not 5 feet away from my door.

The 290 Cafe in Manor Texas closed it's doors on father's day due to this virus mess.
I have eaten there on and off for way over half my life.
Back before this place got all grown up my wife and I would get on my motorcycle and ride out to Manor to eat there on the weekend.
By way of country roads.
Back before Harley Davidson motorcycles got all popular.
Gonna miss the old place with it's squeaking doors and old wooden floor.
And the friendly folks.

Gotta a whole slew of baby sun gold tomatoes self seeding in my container.
Have no idea what they will produce if anything but I'm going to let some of them grow to see.

I also eat a few large red cherry and Juliet tomatoes every day or so as they are still setting fruit.
The top of the vines diseased out but they are still trucking along with new growth at the bottom.

The babies will sprout and grow in the heat with a full dose of fertilizer.
I have never been one to believe in seedling root burn.
Mostly due to my own experiments with controls.
