Ogling at Skyline Chili

Due to scheduling some stuff for a charity bake sale at work today (yay! I made it to work), I ended up going to Skyline Chili solo for lunch. It's not so bad, they have TV's playing "The Price Is Right," so I can enjoy lunch while watching overweight soccer moms in bad shoes jump up and down and nearly flatten Bob Barker.

I ate up on the upper deck, a slightly raised platform in the restaurant and ended up overlooking this really cute 40-something fireplug of a guy named Jerry (his name was on his shirt). With his NASCAR ball cap covering his brown hair, his blue work shirt, somewhat dirty blue jeans, and work boots, Jerry was stereotypical blue collar guy. His face was covered in a nice thick brown mustache and was hairy all down his arms. What was great about my vantage point was that I got a bird's eye view of his very furry chest through his shirt, which he had thankfully left unbuttoned a couple from the top, giving me a grand sight every time he turned towards his buddy to crack a joke. Whew! I was warming up and it wasn't the hot sauce on the food. His chest fur was this nice dark brown color with just a hint of gray here and there. With every turn towards his buddy, his shirt would open up that much more, allowing me a visual of his meaty, furry pecs which I greatly appreciated.

Eventually, my lunchtime crush got up and left, giving me a nice opportunity to see this short, little furball's cute butt as he walked out the door. Ah, the hard-working redneck guys are soooo hot!

.. and now back to your regularly scheduled workday... :)

Mark the Plumber -- A Photo Story

I love my house. It's one main drawback is that it only has ONE bathroom. So the toilet has been making a gulping sound of late when the tank is refilling. The noise scared my mom on her last visit. I told her she had broken the toilet and would now have to go outside in the woods. She replied, "Been there and done that." Mom is of the outhouse generation...

Instead of finding a plumber and paying through the nose, I decided to fix it myself, one of the other joys of homeowning. I stopped off at Home Depot and a cute and helpful guy told me what I needed to fix the noise and I was on my way.

Never one to let a potential disaster go unrecorded, I took pictures along the way of my attempt at manly repair.
