We also had a little old pesky Tropical Storm hitting the coast of NC. We are far enough inland that we were only expected to get a little rain and some wind so we opted to move forward with the show.

I woke up yesterday to the sound of rain. Sounded like more than a "little" rain and wind. At any rate, I arrive onsite and we could not put up part of our tents (even weighted down) because we ran the risk of them blowing a way and konking someone upside the head ( other people were worried about them hitting cars but I guess thats why they pay me the big bucks).

So we soon discovered internet was down. That would make taking payments for anything onsite difficult. Ok- no biggie. We would tell everyone cash only.

Everything was going as smooth as possible for wind, rain, no internet and likely very low attendance. I told someone, "ehhh...I've seen worse" and within 30 seconds we lost power too. Which meant we couldn't even open the doors to our museum.

Later that day, my friend asked me what was the highlight of my day and I replied "I didn't s*** myself". Well.......on my way home, the universe decided to teach me a lesson for eating ice cream ( after a year of almost completely clean eating) and I sharted myself......

I sure hope today is a better day...

Holy moly. Now that’s a story. Maybe not one for around the holiday dinner table but still.

Another race day. This one from Charlotte NC Looks l8ke they are having a nice day.

Astros play another game at 1. I haven't given up on them but they haven't been playing very well.

Mollie- I think they are in Texas today. Charlotte is October 8. Unless you aren't talking about NASCAR

https://pin.it/7H9TeLs Here is the link. Let me know if you can't access it. I have a couple of tips...next time I would use a parchment lined cookie sheet so they aren't so thick. You'll lose less Fritos when you cut the bars. And I sprinkled some chocolate chips on top of the Fritos before I spread the topping on.

Hmmm... interesting. Does the Fritos flavor take over? I might have to give them a try!
