RUMPLATIONS: Awesome Honky Tonk and Cyber Bar

Yeah, I haven't visited SS in a while – my bad. I'll see if I can't make it over there.

Meanwhile, who is surprised that a certain raging asshole had taken credit for there being an American Pope?

Sheesh.

And did everyone see the image of him as the Poop? Worth looking up…

Now, it's Get-Fried-Day, so let's get things going.

Lights on, Lady Dryad has cleaned up and we’re ready to go.

Tea Kettle is refilled and ready. There are pots of Red Rose and Earl Grey teas available on the sideboard, plus all the other fine teas in the box. Sachets of Swiss Miss are available, along with the usual mound of mini marshmallows.

Big Bertha has been cleaned, rinsed, and refilled, and is now perkin' away.

Today we're using Grizzly Claw coffee blend from Kicking Horse Coffee Roasters. I'ts Bearly drinkable!

I've put out donuts.

Plus I've got some chocolate chip and whipped cream canolli for y'all.

Let's all hope that Kimmi and her twin are having WAY too much fun in Orlando, yeah?

And as for the rest of you, take care out there, 'K?

What's up? No threads have had posts since the bear posted this afternoon. That's unusual for Lush. The SS forums have basically gone dark but this place is usually more lively. Everyone too busy celebrating the new Pope or something?

I am not sure about my comp entry. It's weird and full of stupid holes but I kind of like it all the same. The problem is that I have all kinds of story ideas kicking about in my drafts and my writer's notebook involving islands but none of them really lend themselves to Lush treatment (i.e. adding graphic sex) without a lot of change. Even the one that started as a Lush story idea has morphed into something else that would not be improved by adding sex. Oh well, we'll see. Still have 3 weeks and change.

Good morning. Nice weather if still a bit chilly. Have a frost advisory out for overnight, let's put it that way.

No plans for the weekend beyond housework and first grass cut of 2025. Need to get some gas, though. Jerry can is drier than the Sahara.

Tea and a cannoli.

You really do live in the far north, Seeker4, as I only stopped cutting mine for one month this year, January. 😳

As it is Friday evening, how about a drop of white wine for me?

We generally stop cutting after Canadian Thanksgiving (mid-October) and don't need to start again until the following May. I could realistically have done it last week but it was my birthday so I decided laziness was allowed.😁

WOW! The smell in here is … better than usual.

And the tunes to go with…

Manifold thanks Lion! That's the way to kick off a weekend morning!

(looks around) Gee – coffee and tea all done, goodies set out, tunes a-playing…

Nothing left for da Bear to do, so I'll take a mug of Red Rose tea back and see if'n I can't keep Kimmi's Korner warm in her absence.

'Course, I just had my fur trimmed yesterday, so I look sleek and even lovelier than ever … BUT I might shed a hair or two.

Oh well, Kimmi's not around to notice. I can always blame some other white furred beast…

Take care out there, 'K?

Man, gotta love the music mix in this place. Joan Jett & the Blackhearts covering ACDC is a good way to start any day, me thinks.

Doing housework in hopes that tomorrow is as nice as promised so we can get out and about for Mother's Day. Grass gets cut later.

I'll be in the storeroom checking on Kimmi's boys. For certain definitions of "checking on". 😉

Well, I might have a comp entry. Need to close things off with a pretty bow but basically happy and it's clocking in at the right length. There's a fantasy element that's pretty central, but more in the realm of magic realism than outright fantasy. And people have sex, which is kind of a requirement in these here parts.

Off to work again.

And it's sunny on a Sunday. That's odd… doesn't happen that often.

But, as Ape said, with the sun comes the grass and with the grass comes the mowing.

First time this year, yesterday. And it reminded that although I sometimes resent the time involved, and hate doing the fiddly bits around the edges, the actual mowing can be quite soothing.

Besides, it scares the bejeezus out of the neighbours seeing a 10' tall Polar Bear pushing an electric mower…

Caffeine, eh?

Lights on, Lady Dryad has cleaned up and we’re ready to go.

Tea Kettle is refilled and ready. There are pots of Red Rose and Earl Grey Cream teas available on the sideboard, plus all the other fine teas in the box. Sachets of Swiss Miss are available, along with the usual mound of mini marshmallows.

Big Bertha has been cleaned, rinsed, and refilled, and is ready to go.

Today we're using Loon Call Breakfast Blend coffee beans from Muskoka Coffee Roasters, because why not?

There are donuts.

Plus I've got some macarons for y'all.

Take care out there, 'K?

Imagine how they'd react if it was a riding mower? 🤣 Earl Grey Cream and a Macaron.

Having second thoughts about part of my story. Feels a bit contrived and kind of is. I needed an explanation for the story and it's what I came up with. There's another possibility that might actually feel better but it's a serious downer and I really want this to be more upbeat than that. If I'm doing the downer ending, then the sex gets cut and it goes on SS. Fits better with the darker stuff I have over there.

Well, that was a morning. Mrs. Seeker wanted to do something last week for my b-day and it fell through due to weather, so we did it this week for Mother's Day. Hiked in a small provincial park near here (Komoka for those who know the area). Fun was had. Now making bread in my bread machine for the first time in probably 5 years. I prefer whole wheat and whole wheat bread flour basically vanished from the market around here for a time during and just after the pandemic. However, I found it back on the shelf in one of our regular grocers. Which all means that the editing on my comp entry has stalled for the moment. Trying to get back to it this afternoon.

GOOD MORNING LUSHIELAND!

Somehow it's not the same without Robin Williams…

OK then, caffeine will have to do.

Lights on, Lady Dryad has cleaned up and we’re ready to go.

Tea Kettle is refilled and ready. There are pots of Red Rose and English Breakfast teas available on the sideboard, plus all the other fine teas in the box. Sachets of Swiss Miss are available, along with the usual mound of mini marshmallows.

Big Bertha has been cleaned, rinsed, and refilled, and is seving away.

Today we're using LaVazza coffee beans from Italy, pronto!

I've put out donuts.

Take care out there, 'K?

Judas Priest

One of the greats, they started in 1969 and are still going strong. Lead singer Rob Halford turns 74 this summer and sounds pretty dang good. Original bassist Ian Hill is just a year behind. Sadly, original guitarist Glenn Tipton has had to semi-retire due Parkinson's. He played in studio on their last album but another guitarist toured with them alongside Richie Faulkner, their current second guitarist. From their latest album:

I suspect he and Terrance would have to set territorial boundaries – I mean Terrance IS head of security around here – but I can see how he could be useful. Most of the folks around here are squeamish, so if'n I sicked Gordon the Gecko on them, I suspect they'd pay up pretty quick.

Thanks, Kimmi! So, how's Orlando?
