Day 43: TGIF. No, really — thanks!

Friday morning weigh-in: 148.8 

The weigh-in was the best part of the morning. Went out to leave for work and found the YAKmobile had a flat tire. Switched cars for the one The Boy usually drives, and left my drinks behind. And the cupholder in the Buick is a bit too precious for a hot, steaming cup of coffee, so it was a dry drive.

Did though, have my

Millville Multi-Grain Crunchy Oats (1 bowl), 
     and I must admit, these Aldi brand O's 
     are indeed crunchy, as advertised
green seedless grapes (1 large cluster)

Driving from Youngstown to downtown Niagara Falls on the Robert Moses Parkway, and don't I encounter a street cleaner. At 11 in the morning! A line of 20 or 30 cars following with no room to pass. I'd love to have been in the room to hear just how someone decided this was a good idea. We were driving so slow my speedometer needle didn't move. Finally arrived downtown to find two blocks of Pine Avenue closed down for some sort of celebration. Of course, George's Appliances, which I was trying to get to, was smack dab in the middle of it all.

Did get home eventually, to a lunch of

Yoplait yogurt, strawberry (6 oz.)
leftover pork loin on a biscuit (1 — pretty crumbly!)
Baker's Treat Peanut Butter Wafers (1 pkg. of 2)
water (12 oz.)

Changed the tire on the YAKmobile and found a Phillips-head screw sticking out of the tread. Hopefully it can be repaired. Wasted a little time on the internet (that never happens) before heading downtown to Statler City and the weekly get-together at the lobby piano. 2-for-1 drinks yielded

Great Lakes Brewing Co., The Wright Pils (2 pints)


Spot Coffee, Delaware & Chippewa
before heading up a block to The Old House Downtown for some dinner.

chowder, which contained everything but
  the kitche... wait a minute! Yes... yes, a 
   bit of the kitchen sink was spotted at the 
    bottom of the chowder pot! (2 bowls)
cheddar/jalapeño whole wheat 
     mac and cheese (2 servings)
Diet A&W Root Beer (1 - 12 oz. can)
Spot Coffee oatmeal-raisin cookie (1, huge)
popcorn (c'mon, who counts popcorn? 
     I'll call it a small movie's bag worth)

Home, James! Call it a night!
