24/Apr/19 waiting for my human to come home

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

It rained quite a bit yesterday.  So much so, that I really didn't want to be outside any longer that I needed to be.

Now, I know there are other parts of the world where the rain we were getting, would be considered a shower at best.

When the Big Guy and Tonya went to bed last night, they were both listening to the rain falling on their metal roof.  They both agreed, it was such a nice sound.

Yesterday the Big Guy made meat balls, but wasn't quite sure what to make them with.  Tonya asked that he make spaghetti.

But wait!  There's more!

He also made two bread rolls.  But like subway would do them.  With Italian spices on the outside.

The house smelled like fresh bread and spaghetti sauce.

But wait!  There's more!

He cut them up into little circles and then put some butter and garlic on them.  Then shredded some mozzarella cheese.  Then put them into the oven to melt.

Like little garlic breads.

But wait!  There's more!

He didn't use regular spaghetti noodles.  He used these macaroni spaghetti noodles.  Think of elbow macaroni, only MUCH longer, like the size of spaghetti.

But wait!  There's more!

Sorry, got caught up in the moment.  There isn't any more.

23/Apr/19 I am not a shark with a laser on it's head

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

I've heard from my non-furry Memere that my non-furry Uncle Marcel is home safe from his travels.  I guess the flooding that was on the news, really didn't effect him.

Last night, Tonya made some chicken wings.  She reached out to the Big Guy who was still at work, to bring home some sour creme, to take the bite out of the spicy wings she had made.

Well, the Big Guy got worried.  He knows that she likes spicy stuff.  Now, the Big Guy's mouth doesn't mind spicy stuff.  But it's his bowels.  The do NOT like spicy stuff.  As a matter of fact, if the stuff is too spicy, he suffers for a few days.

So when he got the email at work to get some sour creme, alarm bells went off.

He went to the grocery store to get the sour creme.

He was so worried about what his bowels would be going though.  Just how spicy were these wings.  Tonya NEVER asked the Big Guy to get sour creme due to spicy wings she has made in the past.

But as he walked into the grocery store, he seen the solution.  There, at the deli, was already cooked chicken pieces.  Not too spicy at all.

So he got the chicken, sour creme and came home.

As soon as he opened the car door, he could smell the spices.  As he came closer to the back door, obviously the spicy smells intensified.  

He was quite happy that he purchased the chicken.  He knew he could have the chicken and not be suffering the next few days.

Tonya was rather pleased with herself.  She had just taken the spicy chicken wings and heated them up for the Big Guy.

He looked at them, dumped them into a tupperware and threw them into the fridge.  He knew he wasn't going to be having them.

Tonya came out to the kitchen and seen that the Big Guy was heating up the chicken he had just bought.

She was HURT.

Not just a little hurt either.

She was upset that the Big Guy pretty much threw her supper aside.

She said that she will NEVER make spicy chicken wings again.

The Big Guy got upset too.  He was pleased that he was able to save himself from distress but he didn't think about how Tonya would react when he put her food aside.

The Big Guy told her, she can have all the spicy chicken wings.  He is NOT going to be eating them.  This made her hurt even more.  Tonya said that he's had her spicy chicken wings in the past.  But I don't think she realized how much pain the Big Guy was in afterwards.  He didn't say anything to her, so how would she know?

Dave's Hot Sauce = butt hurt for the Big Guy.

22/Apr/19 I could have a quick chew on that sneaker

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

The Big Guy was sort of snickering to himself.  He had to work yesterday.  People were telling him, he shouldn't have to work on Easter Sunday.  REALLY?  Did you realize if you didn't call him, he likely would NOT have to work on Easter Sunday.

The logic escapes a lot of people.

My non-furry Uncle Marcel is going to be on the road today.  I hope that the flooding that has been on the news doesn't effect his travels.  Otherwise, he's pretty smart, he will know what alternate highways to take if he does encounter flooding.

Yesterday it was +21 C.  That means that Summer is well on it's way.  There is also rain in the forecast each and every day this upcoming week.

It could be time for the Big Guy to go get some grass seed for the front lawn.  Each year now, for the last 4 years, the Big Guy has been going to Canadian Tire and buying a bag of grass seed.  If he would put the seed down when it's raining, perhaps the grass seed would "take".

But each year, when he is mowing the lawn, he finds that the grass doesn't grow all that well.  But it's also the part of the lawn that gets the least amount of sun.

He also has this rather large hole in the back yard that he has to deal with.  Every time he had a charcoal BBQ, he would dump the burning embers on the tree stump that was in the back yard.  Well eventually it burnt the stump to the ground. and then continued to burn the roots.  So now, there is a big hole there that should be dealt with.

He also has a few other stumps in the front yard that needs to be dealt with.  I can see a lot of BBQ in the Big Guy's future.

21/Apr/19 out of my way, I've got a bone to find

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

So the Big Guy has been finding cat roaming his yard at night.  He's not sure if they are feral or not.  But if there are cats, it also means that the rats are in deep shit.

Yesterday the Big Guy woke up and he could hardly walk.  Turns out, he was having a gout flare up, but it wasn't at the bottom of his foot.  This time, it was a little ways up, in his ankle.  This is unsual, as he has never had problems with gout in his upper ankle before.

But it is what it is and he dealt with it.  He has these pills that he takes.  So he took them.  Today, his ankle is a lot better.

The Big Guy also noticed that his coffee cup is missing.  He thinks that Tonya found it and put it in the dish washer for him.  She is nice that way.  Otherwise, the coffee cup would be pretty dirty by the time he gives it up to be washed.  He only drinks his coffee black.  So he's pretty sure that it's just dried up coffee at the bottom of his cup.

At least that is what he hopes it is.

Geesh, what if it wasn't? And there was really nasty stuff that was at the bottom of the coffee cup, mixed with the dried up coffee?  Oh well, he's lived this long.  

I bet when Tonya reads this, she is going to be finding his coffee cup a lot more often.

Today, the weather is supposed to be nice.  But the next few days...  not so much.  Lots of rain in the forecast.  But this helps the grass and the trees grow.  Can't have green grass without rain.
