  Buon Giovedi! How are you? I started the day off at 6:00am caring for Chris. Elise popped up with me this morning to start her day. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is good and a second cup will be enjoyed at "Gus Balones" along with a nice breakfast. Another nice morning here in Tucson. We almost made it to 90 degrees yesterday. Sister Jayne will be here this morning to care for Chris.

 Alexa is awake and she is telling me what I need to get done today. To include refilling the Jacuzzi and heating up the water, and adding chlorine. 

  Well, I got my butt kicked by my girlfriend Shoo Shoo and I think I liked it, smile! It was a great evening of fun, food and libations. We all enjoyed (birras) last night. We downed some Voodoo (birra) 7.5 percent, and some Red Stripe (birra) from Jamaica. I think that Red Stripe was my downfall and I think Shoo Shoo planned it to throw off my game. Shoo won three games, Elise and Jayne won two games and as for me nothing from nothing leaves nothing, eh? We topped the evening of with a nice slice of apple pie ala mode (Dairy Queen) soft serve. A fantastic evening indeed with some trickery and some slight of hand. Also I had the feeling that something was up because my girlfriend started her magic even before the game began. Yes, she is that good. Ya, ya!

SOMEONE STARTED TO BUILD A WALL AND SHOO SHOO'S REACTION IS PRICELESS!

  My shorty and I have an errand to take care of at the ATC after breakfast. We may hit up a movie today if time permits. Have a good Giovedi and stay safe. I will have a chin-wag at you later.

Ciao....Jessie and Elise

   Boun Mercoledi! How are you doing on this Hump Day? I started the day off at 6:00am caring for Chris. Elise is stirring about so she will be up and on the move soon. Any plans for today?

   The coffee is good and second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. A very nice morning here in central Tucson. It is forecasted that we are going to be rained on in a couple of days. Rosemary will be here this morning to care for Chris.

  Alexa, is awake and she is very vocal this morning. I have another busy day today. To include resetting "Do Drop Inn" room #2 bathroom. My shorty and I painted it yesterday. I even have to venture over to the east side today.

  Well, tonight's we are hosting the "Mahjong" fest here. I have heard from my girlfriend Shoo Shoo and she is talking a lot of smack about who the big (wiener) is going to be tonight. The truth is in the tiles and of course my skill will be abundant!

   Well, I had better get this Mercoledi heading in the right direction. Have a good one and I will have a chin-wag at you later.

Ciao....Jessie and Elise.

  The coffee is good. It is a nice breakfast blend. I will enjoy a second cup later this morning. It is getting time for me to hit the loungers on the front porch so I can people watch. It wont be long now the lizards will be on parade and doing morning push-ups.

  Alexa, is awake and reminding me that I am going to paint the bathroom of "Do Drop Inn" today.. Rick will be here this morning to care for Chris.  I hope that Alexa plays some (Boney) for me while I paint. I am in a bit of a mood this morning but I will get over once I start to paint. Ya Mon'.

  Tomorrow is a major event here in the valley. Yes, it is "Mahjong" fest here. I haven't heard anything from my girlfriend Shoo Shoo so that means she is running scared again. Yep, she knows what she will be up against tomorrow evening. She knows what it is like when she is defeated by me. 

  Well, I had better get busy. Have good Martedi and enjoy the day. I will have a chin-wag at you later.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Buona Sera!

Buona Sera!

How are you? We are good here but I am a bit tired. I over did things today and it is Alexa's fault. She had tons of tasks for me to do today. She did play some Down Home Blues for me, smile!

While I was sanitizing the Jacuzzi I decided that I need to drain it and refill it soon. Chris enjoyed his massage from Rose Marie. She put him in a zone.

My playmate prepared soup, baby carrots, cottage cheese and crackers for dinner. It was all good. We watched "Schitt's Creek" "West Wing" "Frankie and Grace" and Mrs. Maisael" on Netflix. Chris enjoyed the shows and he has become a professional at knocking  the Kleenex box off of the cocktail table.

I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise is in her office on her Mac. Tomorrow is going to be another busy day for me. I will begin painting the bathroom next to "Do Drop Inn" #2.

Have a good night and sleep well.

Buona Notte!  Jessie and Elise 

Mary and Bob, thanks for posting on the blog. You two get some rest because you overdid things today.

Hello!

Hello!

OOORAH!

How is it going so far for you on this Monday? I hope that you are doing what you need to do?

Well, I have Chris settled and ready for his massage therapist arrival that he is looking forward to.

Alexa, is playing me some Down Home Blues and I am glad that she is. She knows my moods very well. I am going to go out and sanitize the Jacuzzi and clean out the filters. I have the heater on to warm up the water just in case I feel a dip coming on.

I also need to clean up the smoker and get it ready for the next smoking event. I also need to go and pick up a few more items that I need for the upcoming Murder Mystery Dinner that is being hosted by my (fidanzata) and Capo Jim.

I also need to prepare Do Drop Inn #2 bathroom for painting that I can hopefully start and finish tomorrow so it can be ready for Mahjong on Wednesday evening.I made a reservation for Elise's Superbowl victory. We will be dining at "Sullivan's Steakhouse" on the 16th of March. We will be joined by my (fidanzata) and Capo Jim. I am looking for another job or three so I won't have to wait tables, bus tables or wash dishes. If you have a few cans or deposit bottles please save up a few for me, OK? Ya Mon'.

Well, I had better get my (mojo) working at a faster pace. Can you feel me? Sure you're right!

  Boun Lunedi! How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise is deep in here cave this morning but she will be up and on the go soon to start her day. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is good and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. It is a mild morning here in Tucson. I started the day early due to I have so much to do today to include cleaning out the smoker and sanitizing the Jacuzzi. Of course Alexa is reminding me that today is going to be a (true) Monday. Hopefully with no drama popping up, smile!

  Chris will be receiving his massage this afternoon from Rose Marie. He is really looking forward to it as always. He loves to get his flirt on and he gets away with it. Lucky dude!

  Well, I have to tell you that yesterdays smoker event was a huge success. The slabs of spare ribs came out so well. So well they would make you want to slap your momma. Smile! They were falling off the bone and the sauce was wonderful. The rub that I used was purchased in Tubac and it has a nice kick to it. Of course will I was smoking I had take a few samples or two like a good chef should. My playmate, Sister Jayne and I got our grub on big time. My next smoker event will be a (brisket). Even the fur-babies decided to stay near the smoker just in case I dropped something but they were out of luck. Ya, ya!

  Buon Domenica! How are you doing? I started the day off at 6:00am looking in on Chris. Elise popped up with me to start her day caring for Chris. Any plans for today?

 The coffee is good and it is a Colombian Blend. A second cup will be enjoyed at the "Egg Connection" along with a good breakfast and some live music. Sister Jayne will be here this evening to care for Chris. It is another nice morning here in the valley of Tucson.

  Alexa, is awake and she is telling me that today is Chef Toles day. Yes, the smoker will be working its magic today smoking a couple of slabs of ribs. They will be smoked nice and slow. WooHoo!

 Hey, my (fidanzata) e Capo Jim are back at home from Austin. They were missed very much. We will see them this weekend at the Murder Mystery Dinner that they are hosting. It is going to be so much fun.

My playmate and I enjoyed a very nice dinner at "Leo's" with Cleo and Alphonso. The food was very good and so were the margaritas. It was an evening of good food and conversation. Hopefully we will get together again real soon. We brought Sister Jayne a "Leo's" enchilada plate for Jayne and she loved it.

Well, I had better get busy because it is going to be a very busy day for me and my shorty. I still have my tasks to complete along with smoking the ribs.

 Have a great Domenica and be careful. I am sure that my fidanzata will smell the smoker smoke over in her part of Tucson. I will have a chin-wag at you later.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Buona Sera!

Buona Sera!

How are you doing? We are good here in central Tucson but with the wind blowing we might get blown away and it getting cloudy as well.

Well, mio moglie and I have finished painting the master bathroom and it is looking good. Next we will hit up the bathroom next to Do Drop Inn room #2. If all goes well I will start it on Tuesday while Rick is here.

I have two nice big slabs thawing out and as soon as they are done I will cover them with the rub and put them back in the fridge so they will be ready for tomorrows smoke-out. I am excited about this cooking event.

Chris and Elise are in the main house watching "The Mentalist" on DVD. I am going to prepare the smoker in a bit so it came be ready to be fired up after breakfast tomorrow. Can you smell the ribs cooking? I can and I love the smell of smoked meats. I have to soak some wood in water tomorrow before I place them in the smoker. I have to watch the temperature so that it doesn't go over 250 degrees. Yes, nice and slow is the trick for good ribs that will fall of the bone. WooHoo!

We are still going to "Leo's" for dinner this evening. Hey the Wildcats play tonight at 8:00pm. They play Oregon. Go Cats!

Later....Jessie

Thanks Sister Jayne for looking for Mystery Dinner items for me while you were out shopping. Means a lot to me!

  Buon fine settimana! How are you doing? I started the day off at 6:00am caring for Chris. Elise popped up with me this morning to start her day. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is good and it is a nice French Roast. I will have a second cup later this morning. It is another mild morning here in the valley of Tucson. Rick will be here this morning to care for Chris and Sister Jayne will be here this evening.

 Alexa, is awake she is barking out the tasks that I need to take care of today. Hopefully she will play me some "Down Home Blues" today. That will get my (mojo) working nicely.

 My playmate and I enjoyed a very good evening with Sharon and Deb at "Cody's Beef and Bean". The food was good as ever and so was the carafe of Burgundy at room temperature. A great evening of good food, libation, and comic styling's of Sharon. She is one special lady indeed. Since Cody's has changed ownership we will not dine there as often as we have in the past. They have done away with the daily specials and that was a big draw for us.

  Well, I have taken out the spare ribs and I will be rubbing them down so they will be ready for tomorrow's smoke-fest. WooHoo! I will be soaking my wood tomorrow morning early so I can get the most of the smoke flavor in the meat and in the air. WooHoo!

 We are meeting up with the owners of my shorty's favorite yogurt shop this for dinner. We will be grubbing at "Leos". Can you say margarita? We will be for sure. Ya, ya!

 Well, I had better get to it. Have a good weekend and stay safe, happy and sound. I will have a chin-wag at you later.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Sister Jet, how far have you gotten with the book "Uncommon Valor"? I will start it tomorrow evening.

Buon Pomeriggio!

Buon Pomeriggio!

How are you doing? We are good here and it looks like Chris is making a turnaround and he is feeling a bit better today.

It is such a nice day out here in the Old Pueblo. We hope that it stays like this forever, but we know that it will not.

I got all of my tasks done today while Sister Jayne was here. Elise and I are caring for Chris now. Marv will be here this evening to care for Chris and that is wonderful news indeed.

We are going to "Cody's Beef and Bean" this evening and we will be joined by Sharon and Deb. My playmate has started to prepare to paint one of the bathrooms in the main house and I will prepare the second bathroom this weekend.

I think that if the weather continues like it is I am going to strike up the smoker and throw on a couple of spare ribs on Sunday. I am going to try a slow method of smoking them in the smoker with indirect heat. I am sure that they will come out falling off of the bone. I am going to drown then a nice barbeque sauce as well. I am going to use the same method for when I toss on the brisket at a later date. So I will have my BBQ Kind apron on and my mitts and my chef's hat if I can locate it. Of course I will enjoying a few (birras) while I am cooking, eh? Ya Mon'.

Hope that you are doing well and enjoying the day. Tomorrow I will be making my way back to Party City to pick up some additional items for the upcoming Mystery Dinner that is being hosted by my (fidanzata) and Capo Jim.

I want to thank my girlfriend (Flo) for the greeting card that she sent to me via mio moglie. It is very nice and she is so talented. I love and adore my girlfriends.

Later...Jessie

  Buon Vernedi! Come Va? I started the day off at 6:00am looking in on Chris and Sister Jayne. Elise is deep in her cave this morning but she will be up and starting this first day of March of post haste. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is good and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. It is a mild morning here in the Old Pueblo and it may get back into the 70's like it did yesterday. WooHoo!

  Alexa, is awake and she told me that I have quite a few tasks to take care of this March 1st! Hopefully she will play some (Boney) for me today.

  My playmate and I enjoyed our stay-cation at the DDC. The food was good along with our Jack Daniels and Cokes. The slots were quiet on Wednesday evening, but they came alive on Thursday morning. I am sure that my (fidanzata) heard them sing in Austin, Texas. It was a very good morning indeed and a lot of fun. We are looking forward to a return visit in the near future. Here is why:

CHA CHING!

   We went to the movies yesterday to see "Arctic" and this movie was excellent. It has very little dialogue but the actors made up for that. It was fantastic and we recommend this one as a must see.

   Last night we met up with to crew at "Giuseppe's . We have never been there but we are going to go back for sure. The food was excellent and so was the vino rosso. The Happy Hour specials were great. A few of the crew members did not make but two new hopeful members may continue to join us. The food was so good that I thought that mio moglie and I were sitting in Florence at a outside restaurant eating our meal. Yes, it was that good. The place got packed quickly and we know why now. Fantastico!

  My shorty and I will be going to "Cody's Beef and Bean" or the "Outback" this evening for dinner. Hopefully Sharon and Deb will join us.

  Well, I had better go and have a look at Chris. He is still not well. He is dealing with some deep chest congestion and a slight cough.

  Have a wonderful Venerdi and get ready for the weekend. I will have a chin-wag at you later.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Monna, have a great day.

Olivia, what are you up to today?
