Friday Open Thread
Good Morning!
First day off was a huge success, I spent part of the day needling my counterpart like she does to me; we’re in the middle of watching the Mandolorian Season 2; I’m getting the sprinkler system re-installed as we had to cut a bunch of wires and pipes to get the driveway extension put in, we’re also getting a concrete pad put in the back yard for a shed. Meanwhile we’ll carry on with our news and links open thread full of crockpot recipes, nap strategies and beer recommendations; drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and it’s weekend eve, time the plan the beer and meat menu for the weekend.
