Ever have one of those days where you just know you should have gone back to bed? I think today might qualify as 2 of those days....

Woke up to someone smearing a burrito or something from taco hell all over the front storm door. Gotta love having teens in the house, right? Got that all cleaned up and breezed into work a few minutes late. Work actually went ok. A little slow but not too bad.

Head for home and as soon as i walk in the door get greeted with "the laundry room door fell off." Ummm, no. Door don't fall off by themselves. Especially when the screws are pulled out of the door jamb.

Screw it, gotta meet Franco in a few to get some equipment for the trail day on Tues. Bail out, pick up the monster weedkiller and signpost installer and roll over to petco for birdy food. Not really a bad thing but i used to pay $40 for a 25lb bag of parrot food from a feed dealer. I could get 3 macaws, a conure and 2 meyers parrots fed for a month on that. They closed down and now it is that much for 8lbs of food and barely lasts a week for 2 birds. Ugh, i need wholesale macaw chow.

Swing by to get my haircut on the way home. Gal butchered it so bad, i just told her to grab the clippers. Ya, i'll be wearing the hat alot so my dome doesn't get burnt. Go ahead and laugh, i still am. Shoulda known better...

Get home, feed the kids and fire up the dishwasher. 30 sec later i hear "dad, it's raining in the downstairs bathroom". Greeeat. Look in the upstairs bathroom, toilet is clogged and backing up into the tub. Pull the toilet, grab the snake. Whatever it is, i can't reach it. Call Mr Rooter. I am number 60 in line. Mention that i have a contract, he will see me in an hour. Well, things are looking up. He rolls up 20 min later and is happy he doesn't have to pull the stool. This is only going to cost me $270 sense he doesn't have to do it. Less than a minute later, he is done. Damn, i wanna make 300 bucks a minute. Grumble grumble, write the check...

The bad luck seems to have left along with most of my paycheck. Easy come, easy go. I was gonna go for a ride tonight but i think i knew better. At least all the bathrooms are clean now. Just need the landlord to come fix the pipe that leaks into the lower bathroom everytime the plumbing backs up...

Sounds like Platte was fun. Wonder if the bro went. Think i will play a bit with some things tomorrow then ride in the afternoon. Anyone wanna ride with the timebomb?
