This morning I hauled (2 trips) 28 bags of leaves and grass plus on long branch to the city compost pile. No line and I finished the first trip in great time. On the second trip people were lined up to go through the landfill office to dump trash and recyclable items. While I was on the second trip, I parked next to a guy I knew but didn't think he knew me (Bob Hardesty). We started talking and the subject turned to skiing. He's a part-time ski instructor at the local area. He asked me what my skiing ability is and I stupidly said "intermediate" rather than "advanced intermediate." He decided that right then and there he had to give me a ski lesson. So in the middle of the city dump we are simulating turns and weight shifts, etc. He also gave me the history of the local ski area over the last 60 years. I remained calm and polite. He thought he remembered me as he should have as I lived next-door to him for three years (I really didn't want to tell him that). I may now hold the Guinness world's record for ski lessons at a city dump.
I decided to wash the van. When I pulled in and started vacuuming, I was the only one at the car wash. By the time I finished vacuuming there was a line of muddy pick-up ahead of me (hunting season started and the hunters were getting their trucks cleaned before they go back out next weekend). When it was finally my turn the computer number assigned to me wouldn't work so they had to figure out how to assign a different number so I could get the van washed.
It was now passed noon so I stopped at Burger King (you know "Have it your way") and ordered a Whopper Jr. with no onions. The cashier must have thought I said "extra onions" because that's what I got. No one hates onions more than me but I finally got most of them scraped off rather than send it back as it was the noon hour and the orders were backed up.
I'm staying home the rest of the day. Go Broncos but I wouldn't bet on you with the day I've had so far.
It it Monday! Right?
