Good morning!!!!

Adding 2% to a service bill because the staff is underpaid . Sounds like an employer problem not the customer's.
Take it off the tip

that's my take on it. next they will be adding the bus boys tip, and then the office help, and a surcharge for AC and Heat.

I like to pose this question to the food server, then stay quiet and watch their reaction:

"How do I leave a negative tip? I need cash back!"

woodpecker is back for dinner, making a serious mess out there.
I'll need a shovel and wagon
going to town on two rotted stumps.
must be great grubs in there
He looks up and sees me and has never moved.
I wonder how close I could get to him.
would not want to get pecked...

washed my car slowly, making sure not to move head around too much and it went fine.
then made a nice stir fry out of pork and chicken leftovers, black beans, diced tomatoes, veggies and last quarter of a bottle of
some sweet barbecue sauce. Yum. When that cools off will have three dinners left.

have a question on black beans for you bean lovers.
I buy the cheap stuff in cans and it comes in a light goop.
what if I buy uncooked black beans and cook them, are they a lot better?
I like the earthy flavor it gives the dish, and they are clearly a healthy food.

I'm imagining doing my own they would be harder in consistency since they haven't been waterlogged
for who knows how long. Funny I keep about five pounds of uncooked beans in the cupboard as survival food.
I really ought to cook off the old stuff and replenish it.
I wonder if two year old uncooked beans are stale

Good Afternoon,
Well, finally got my teeth cleaned and got out of the dentist office by 11:45 !

We got home Tuesday night from vacation, then went to work Wednesday, worked all day and came home to mow the grass. I cut it high with the intention of cutting it again in a couple of days to get it to normal height !

Went to HD to pick up 40 ft of drain pipe along with a drain and a 90. This will hopely solve the water and mud problem when we get these torrential rains that are filling the in ground pool with muddy water ! So tonite I need to kick back a little, started digging the trench for the pipe and I will probably be sore tomorrow!

Have a good evening!

If we use a can of black beans we rinse them, if we cook the dried black beans we do it in the Instant Pot.
Spices good in black beans

Cut holes in the ends of my forks with the new plasma cutter and welded some chain hooks to some rods. Now I have 2 chain hooks that bolt onto the forklift blades. I raised the 7 ft flail up chest height and easily cleaned up the knicks on the flail hammers. I've been mowing regularly since January, it's been a wet year.
Enjoyed making the job so easy. Looking forward to all chain lifting tasks now with the little CAT. Will post some pics later of this operation. Time to kick back now and recoup, then charge batteries and load the van later for an RC outing in the AM.
