The Big DumpTruck

I didn't have the $$ to renew my .Mac account (it expired yesterday) so the DumpCast link that used to be in the upper right hand corner has been removed. I don't know when or where it will re-surface, but I may just host it right here on BDT going forward. I'll make sure I let all the faithful fans know when it's available again.

I took yesterday and today off from work because Junior is on April vacation. Yesterday I combed the back yard for dog poop, and I was thinking to myself...hunting for crap is still better than going to work. I also did a little raking (after we picked up a new metal rake...way too much thatch to use a plastic rake) and we did get the little tabletop grill I was yearning for. Cooked up some shrimp and steak to break it in and welcome it to the family. I think there may be a problem with it (flame is too low) but by the time we figured that out, we'd already started cooking on it. So now I'm not sure what to do. I guess I'll contact the manufacturer, because I don't think Lowes wants me to take back a used grill. Or maybe they do, because the thing we noticed might be a safety issue. Will keep you informed

I am a happy girl. I have in front of me

1. My MacBook Pro with a wireless connection to the internet
2. a cup of coffee that Mr. Dump made from whole Dunkin Donuts beans ground by the coffeemaker right before brewing
   
3. a bowl of Special K Red Berries

All of these things made more special because I am enjoying my breakfast for the first time out on the deck. Goodbye, winter, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

This morning, while looking for something in my bedroom a pile of stuff that should not be in a pile but hey, that's my life, I found the lined leather mittens I've been looking for all winter. So that is certainly handy on the first day of spring. It's about as appropriate as finding your lost bathing suit in October.

So let's see a show of hands; do I leave the mittens in the pile, because now I know where they are, or do I take a chance and move them into the big bag of hats and mittens that will soon have to be washed and put away? It could be risky, either way.

By the way, the groundhog was full of groundhog doo this year. Early spring my shiney hiney. (Is that worse than saying "my ass"? I was trying to keep my Y7 to PG rating. You know, in case Junior decides to see if I'm talking about him.)

Don't forget to get your free iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts on Wednesday. Not all locations will participate, as it's up to the franchisee I suppose, so check before you order. Mr. Dump is plotting out the route he's going to take to make sure he can hit as many locations as humanly possible. But don't worry, he will be ordering decafs. But that many decafs probably equals at least one real cup of coffee, right?

The last of the snow slid off the roof of my van this morning, so I'm ready for spring.
