I mowed the lawn the other day but only got halfway through before the lawn mower quit on me. I didn't even get to do Chips rental house next door and he was mad that I didn't mow that lawn first. Oh well, you can't win. I'm mowing for free and get yelled at anyway.
So I was supposed to try again today because maybe the lawn mower just needed a little time out to think about what it did then let me mow but nooooo. It still has an attitude. So the rental house has long grass. I bet I'll get yelled at for not even trying.
It's not my fault the lawn mower doesn't work. It has a full tank of gas and the oil is at the full line and I also did an oil change like 5 or 6 mows ago which was when I started mowing for the season.
Well, it looks like he's gonna have to bring it back to Floyd's to have it serviced tomorrow. Good thing because I need to get that gel seat cover for my bike there anyway lol. 2 birds you know?

Pain Patches
I got my check today and I went to the grocery store immediately as soon as I found out that I got it (direct deposit). I got a package of Ben gay pain relieving patches. It has 5 patches that work on the neck to arm (why don't they just say shoulder?). I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to put it on myself being in the back and all but I managed.
Oh boy, I feel the heat already. My shoulder is on FIRE!!! It's just like Icy Hot but the icy doesn't dull the pain at all lol.
I was going to buy the ones that last 12 hours, forgot the name already, but they were expensive so I just bought the Ben gay ones. These only last 8 hours but that's ok. I also bought a Icy Hot stick, it's like a stick of deodorant but you put it on your pain and not your pits. Oh I better hide it so I don't accidentally put it on my pits. I'm not that really bright.
I was gonna go to the bike store for new handlebars but I don't want to be in the heat so I'm just gonna force er um I mean ask Chip to take me tomorrow. It's his day off so he can drive me. I hope they are open tomorrow lol. Then I wanna buy a new gel seat for my seat from Target or Wally World. Actually they have them at Floyd's the town hardware store.
The heat isn't so bad on this patch so I'm happy. Although the pain is going down into my elbow so I'm getting worried now. I see the doctor again on Thursday so if I'm still having pain then I hope she has a solution for me. Maybe she can give me a magic elixir that will turn the dial back so I can get younger and stop feeling like I'm elderly.

McGoiter's Channel
I found this guy on YouTube named Brock Baker. His channel on YouTube is called McGoiter. I think he sent me a email via YouTube inviting me to his channel to subscribe and I did. This guy is so funny, he shouldn't have any problem out there in Hollywood. He's going to end up in a tv series some day soon. But until then we get to enjoy him on YouTube.
He just moved to LA from somewhere in Colorado. Maybe if you watch this video you will want to subscribe then next thing you know you are watching every video of his from the very first one to now like I did. You won't be disappointed, he's very funny. Here is his latest video called Brock Baker's LA Adventures #2.
Edit: Wait! I remember. He didn't email me, that was someone else. I found Brocks video making fun of Fred after watching a Fred video lol. That's right.

Surprise, it's Dinner
Chip surprised me tonight and took me to a sit down restaurant. Normally to me a sit down restaurant is like Denny's or Hometown Buffet or China Town Buffet or well, anywhere that doesn't have a drive-thru.
So we went to Los Molcajetes Restaurant over on Brundage Lane in Bakersfield, CA. I'd never been there before but we've passed it maybe a thousand times since we've been in Bakersfield.
First of all, I'm a very picky eater. That means Mexican food is usually one of those foods that I gotta be careful with because if I don't ask exactly what I'm getting I'm gonna get everything I don't want. I absolutely detest the taste of onions, bell peppers, any kind of hot sauce, sour cream and avocado (or guacamole). I ordered a ground beef burrito and specifically mentioned no onions, bell peppers, avocado or sour cream since those 4 ingredients were in the pictures near the burritos. I just wanted to make sure I didn't get those.
Chip ordered shredded beef enchiladas. I don't know how his food was but as soon as I put the first bite into my mouth the first thing that I said was "wow, it's too salty". I'm not very big on salt either lol. It's a good thing too because if I had put salt on my food I would've been pissed because of the salt overload.
Chip ordered an iced tea for his drink and he was complaining that it was too weak, he even had me taste it (pre-sweetened). I didn't really notice. I would've probably noticed more if it had been sweetened first. I'm not a huge fan of iced tea without sugar or equal in it. After his 2nd glass was brought to him and he sweetened it, the waiter came back and he told him how weak it was and the waiter said "oh well we have stronger" which was a lie, he brought back another glass of iced tea that looked darker but Chip said it was the same. He also brought a glass filled with ice lol. Who asked for that?
Besides the salt overload and the weak tea it was a pretty decent meal. I can't say I will be begging to go back anytime soon though. But I guess when someone takes you to dinner you can't complain especially when I am broke lol.
Oh one more thing, I was so full and when we went to the cashier at the end I was being stupid and asked where the vomitorium was (because I was full, not because it wasn't good) and the cashier gave me a blank stare. She said what's that? I said "what's a vomitorium?" She said yeah. I was like damn are you gonna make me explain my stupid jokes? Gawd, I really hate it when people don't get my humor. I told her it was from the roman days and she asked what it was for and I said well, er um... vomiting. She then pointed to the bathroom and said it's there lol. I then had to say "I was joking" and she said oh lol. Oy vey!

Update for today
I slept right all night long then this morning I had to take off the bipap mask which was like 5:30am and it just seemed like I could not get comfortable at all and no matter how I slept my shoulder was in pain. It seems almost as if it is getting worse for some reason. I'm not on the steroids anymore and so the pain is back. I put some bengay on it because that is supposed to help but now I smell like bengay lol.
I just wish I could get my monthly check so I can buy some comfort food you know? I mainly want some ice cream lol. Of course the little 1 serving size, I don't want to totally undo all the hard work I did on the bike when I was able to ride it. And on the other hand I'm in so much pain I feel like saying screw all my past progress, give me cake, donuts, ice cream, milkshakes, big macs lol.
I was given a donation of $5 so now I can at least go to the store and buy some lunch meat and a loaf of bread for lunch and dinner. Good because I am so freakin' hungry heh. Monday can't come any slower can it?
