Let's Call It A Day

I spent the day in the garden. I planted scads of perennials, annuals, and vegetables. Two more gardens down, only four to go.

Then I wrapped up the day by pulling weeds and trimming shrubs and vines until dark. I'm a real wild man.

Also, we ordered Sarpinos pizza for dinner. Wild.

Tomorrow I'll get back into the swing of technology with visiting blogs and I have a Minnesota Jam Club post with a few recipes for rhubarb pie and tarts.

mmmmmm pie.


Check out that mess.

Friday Random Ten

Listen up troops. When you look back on this day, and you will look back on this day, you are going to remember it as a day of triumph. A day when you dug deep inside yourselves and found something that most people don't have; a heart of rock and roll.

Some may ask Friday? Random? Ten?

These are questions for the nonrocking.

So let's send a message. A message so loud and clear that future generations of children will still be dancing.

Today. We Rock!

Hump Day - The Seeds of Discontent Review

Hello my frizzle frazzle razzle dazzles.

It's hump day and you know what that means, I toss a bunch of links into the stone soup and we see what boils.

I'm a hurting man today after planting a perennial and a vegetable garden last night. So far, the planted annuals are pumpkins, tomatos, corn, beans, and sunflowers.

Yes, I dug many holes.

Let's get this show on the road.

In the gnus,

Guns and Groceries

One of my many tasks this weekend was to put up a fence around the garden in the back 40. No, it's not really 40 acres. It just feels that way.

So I'm near the neighbor's yard, pounding metal stakes into the ground, and I notice the neighbors are having a party.

There are kids everywhere; I'd estimate somewhere between 15 and 25 of the rascals. Their props consisted of a few toy guns and a toy shopping cart.

Just then, the group of boys ran by chasing each other shooting and I started thinking about when I was a kid and we'd play guns.

Then I heard this yelling "Shoot! Shoot! Run! Ruuuuunnnn!!!"

Three boys split off from the main group towards the shopping cart and one yelled "Don't forget to protect the baby!" as they pushed the cart out of the line of fire.

I couldn't stop laughing.

I Am.

Yo. This weekend has been exhausting. I have a new hobby. Apparently, it's digging holes.

I shovel well.

Saturday Morning Shot - Butterfly Dream Filaments

I woke up this morning to cherry blossoms, flowering strawberry plants, and wild flowers galore.
So I walked and spread Asclepias seeds aka 'Common Milkweed' along the yard's perimeter. I don't find them common at all.

Now it's off to the Ramsey County Master Gardeners plant sale.
Which some of you may recall me talking about on Monday, Already Thinking About The Weekend.

I hope you're having a fabulous Saturday.

Friday Random Ten - The Sun Also Arocketh Mix

Fuck 'The Sun Also Rises'; I'm talking about 'The Weekend Also Rocks'

Lost Generation?, pfffft. I'm more concerned with a lost CD or a lost opportunity to rock.


So let's summarize this generation as the Friday Random Ten generation and in the process we'll generate some powerful feedback and throw a couple of wicked keggers.

Soon enough, my tunes will appear like feedback from an old Fender amp.

What yaarrr you listening to?

That's right. I fixed a typo with a pirate. Motion in the ocean.
Then I went to Half Priced Books and bought scads of inexpensive and awesome cd's and books. In true 'teh' irony one of the books I purchased was 'ABC of Reading' by Ezra Pound. Wasn't I just knocking the lost generation? I also bought some Plath,Bukowski,The New Yorker - Fierce Pajamas, and some books about having a bun in the oven.

Also, there was a little rain and a huge end-to-end rainbow which CP10k believed stretched the horizon.

Music on the way.

1) Do You Love Me - The Contours
2) Instant Death - Beastie Boys
3)Weapon of Choice - Fatboy Slim/Bootsy Collins
4)Ball of Twine - Louis XIV
5)Govinda - Jai Uttal
6)Awesome Sound - Ween
7)The Prophet's Song - Queen
8)Far, Far Away - Wilco
9)Woman - John Lennon
10)We Don't Mind - Michael Franti

Is Love Enough? Franti



Everybody onna move.

If I Ran NASA - Hi-Tech Solutions Abound

If I ran NASA there'd be teddy bears, with attitude.

Those teddy bears would cuss,swear, and drink like it was nobody's business.

I'll bet some of them would even smoke.

Also, the basement remodeling at the house would be totally finished and Hi-Tech.

Do you hear that NASA?

Send an army of rowdy teddy bears to fix my house.

Sincerely,

JACC.

Silence In The Hour of GobFull

Get this, I hear there are places that don't have internet access and, even if they do, the people at these places will keep you too busy to access said; barely available internet.

It's true.

I was there.

Old timers, everywhere, and they ranted about big government and they made uncomfortable jokes about the hot tub in the neighboring yard.

A couples swinger joke, Grandma?

Really?

On The Scene With JACC - Petroleum Conspiracy Publicity Stunt

We went to Green Mill for dinner tonight and there was a news crew sitting outside.

"Oh, great. What now?" I asked as I cooly surveyed the scene.

It didn't look too crazy so we went inside where I saw the FOX9 crew on the tv. The bartender told us they had been out there all day as the gas station next door dropped the price of gas 30 cents a gallon for the day.

"Waste of time, if you ask me. Sitting out there in line for two hours to save 30 cents a gallon" said Amy the ultra awesome bartender.

"All day hmm?" I asked and thought what a waste of time while sipping my Guiness and awaiting the food's arrival.

Then I decided to interview the news crew. I was going to ask them about how many cars passed throughout the day.

Little did I know, FOX9 does not allow their reporters to give comments.

Not even for blogs.

KHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started to wonder what FOX9 was afraid of, what they were trying to cover up, why can't their people talk? I knew Jason DeRusha at WCCO would give a comment if some poor yet really good looking blogger were to ask.

I mean, what's the harm?
(Here's Jason's head the size of a building)

So I tried to go behind the FOX9 Iron Curtain for the truth.

Here's Cameraphone10000 in action.




So I ask you, my dear readers.

Why is it that FOX9 Fears Jason DeRusha?

How's your day shaking out?

If I Were Old Fat Neighborhood Elvis

Look, I don't know what you think. You think you know what I'm going to say. Kids these days and such. Well you're right.

Don't look at me that way, iS IT MY FAULT EVERYTHING ON CABLE IS BAD? A bunch of dirty birds with their potty mouths and the same old recycled plot. Sure, someone's going to get married, yeah it's not a good idea, and yes someone else will come along and fall in love thus preventing the wedding. Get off my lawn!!!

Why, in my day, we walked into open fields, and we offered to help hay. Hayin' is what we did in the summer. That was the style. Style, who's wearing style? There's not style anymore, not even a bow tie and do you see how low they wear the slacks?

Just yesterday I was saying to my neighbor Tom, I says, Tom did you see that? Those kids just cut across your yard and Tom turns to me with one of those looks he gets and he says "watch this" and turns on his sprinklers. So the little hooligans start to scram, but they can't put on their wheels because their slacks don't fit so I yell out "Serves you right!" and they stop at the street and yell something nonsense, but I'm sure it can't be good. Just like that movie I went to see at the Tuesday matinee. Not good at all. I napped and when the credits started to roll I struck up a conversation with the, hey did you see that?

They just tossed some wrappers out of that car window. Hey you! Pick up your trash!

Where were we? Oh yeah, rappers. I can't understand a thing they are saying with their bling and their blong. Except that Snoop Dogg, he's nice young man with his D oh double gee.

Gee, look at the time, I had better hurry along, it's time for my show.

How much attention is needed?
