What Are You Doing Today? (an SKMB greatest hits)

I went and bought myself some new nylon tipped drumsticks.   I have no idea what that means.  Or what they will do for me.  Perhaps my career as a drummer will take off now that I have nylon tipped drumsticks.   bwhoaheohaoheaha!!  

Did you know that there are about 5 bazillion different types of drumsticks?  You probably did.  I did not.  Imagine me standing there looking at a wall of drumsticks trying to tell this musician why I want drumsticks.  I lied.  I just said I was buying them as a gift.  I don't think me beating around on all available surfaces like a BOSS -- LIKE. A. BOSS. -- qualifies me to know exactly what sticks are best for me. But,  these are shorter, lighter and have a nylon tip.  And I'm going to smell like teen spirit all over this place.

ewww.  That could mean all sorts of musky things, but I'm going to go with AXE body spray smell.  That's still ewww, but a more respectable ewwwww.

I'm glad you edited the end of this post, because I was getting ready to tell you to go have a shower. 😄

I was just trying to eat a chocolate chip cookie, got some fragments of it stuck in my throat and spent awhile in the bathroom trying to cough it up. The throat feels kind a raw now... Its just not my day today!!!

Grocery shopping.

B & N trip.

Car Wash.

Forgot a bag of ice at grocery store (ice machine can't keep up with our daily dietary intake of ice) and was already driving before I realized that, so I stopped at gas station to get ice.

I walk to the counter.  I have a mask on.  She has a mask on.  There's this plexiglass shield between us.  Which translates to:  I can't hear shit.

I tell her I want a bag of ice.  She said something back to me that sounded very much like, "Do you want fresh?"  I look at her and said, "Hell yes I want fresh ice. I don't want that old crap ice you guys are trying to sell."  She laughed so hard.  And she said without missing a beat, "well, today we will sell you fresh ice, but tomorrow? Not sure about that."  I say back, "I will come purchase my fresh ice when you aren't working.  The other workers won't know I got my allotment of fresh ice for the week."

 Then she said, "Do you want crushed ice" which was her original question.  

I then tell her, "no, I want fresh, cubed iced."

We both are laughing, playing along and then I apologize to her and she said, "No, don't apologize, this has been great."  So, my little contribution to happy out there in the world.

If this story teaches you anything, it should be, PLEASE SPEAK UP BEHIND YOUR MASK.

Thanks.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Faaaarrrrrrrr******k. Sometimes I just wish I could astral travel. 😄
We should do distance coffee, or tea, or Dr. Pepper. Still haven't had one of those. 

You've never had a Dr Pepper?!? Oh my gosh. We must remedy this.

As basically the ambassador of all things chocolate, I formally apologise on behalf of the now deceased aforementioned chocolate chip cookie. May you feel better soon... and it... rest in pieces.

Did I once hear that it tastes like a cherry cola drink? If so, Houston we're going to have a problem. I don't like anything cherry flavoured, other than, well... cherries.

They advertise 23 different flavors. All I know is, it's the BEST. 😄

Dr pepper has 23 flavors? I had no idea. 

FlakeNoir

23?! Good Lord. 😄 Ok, I really want to try a regular Dr. Pepper now.

I was trying to get a pic here, but can't find one small enough. But yeah, they have "23" right on the can/bottle. 23 flavors. I don't know what they are, I just love me a Dr Pepper. Had one today! Scott took me to lunch at my fav Mexican place. ❤

Love dr pepper and love mexican food — perfect combo.

Uh-oh... almond, 🤢 cherry, 🤢 and black liquorice? 🤮
So...I like almonds, but not almond flavour, ditto cherries/not cherry flavour. And black liquorice makes me want to yark.
And they say all these flavours are together and that's what makes the taste of Dr. Pepper? Kinda like the 11 herbs and spices of KFC?

Hedda Gabler

Well, you fon’t even taste all that, seriously. I’m getting a dr pepper today now. Thanks a lot guys.

ewww.  That could mean all sorts of musky things, but I'm going to go with AXE body spray smell.  That's still ewww, but a more respectable ewwwww.
