I'll be making a large catering delivery tomorrow morning. I hate when the order pickup time is scheduled before the restaurant opens since the restaurant won't usually let me in early. I should be done in time to do my regular noon workout at Dad's house. I have a meetup later that evening.

UPDATE: The restaurant let me in before opening time, so the order was ready and delivered on time.

I went to another meetup tonight in Manitou Springs. The band that had played at the Townhouse Lounge last time was there again. The lounge has a version of the Adios MF drink called Adios Amigo; I didn't order it because I wasn't sure how strong it was and wanted to be able to drive home. I originally ordered a bourbon and coke, but they forgot the coke.

I was a little worried near the end of the night when I saw a tow truck towing a car that looked like mine. Thankfully it wasn't mine.

I went to a meetup Wednesday at a new bar and restaurant. The restaurant used to be called Cucuru, but it's now the Agave Lounge. I had two tequila cocktails, some empanadas, and cauliflower mac and cheese.

Other than the meetups, it's been a pretty slow week for me.

I got an e-mail from Del Taco saying their Colorado restaurants will re-open soon. No exact date was given, but they will likely send out more e-mails when it happens.

I went out to Voodoo Brewing tonight for dinner with the meetup group. There were two sandwiches I was torn between; I got the Chicky Chicky Bang Bang sandwich, which has a chicken tikka masala breast. The other sandwich I thought about trying was a spicy chicken sandwich called Cluck Around And Find Out.

I'm still doing walks every morning, though I will shift to early afternoons so I can sleep in a bit more.

Last night, I went to two bars with a meetup group. The Townhouse Lounge in Manitou Springs had one local band that was originally supposed to play from 6-9 PM, but their set was moved back to 4-7 PM. I got there just before 6:00 and had dinner. When the band was finished, the meetup group went to O'Furry's bar where another band was playing.

One of my meetup groups met Wednesday at a downtown bar. This bar has a large patio for people with dogs. One of the group members brought a Shetland sheepdog (a.k.a. a mini collie) with one blue eye and one brown eye.

I'll be accompanying my dad to the Space Force base tomorrow to hopefully pick up my visitors pass.

My new Subaru has both AM/FM radio and SiriusXM radio. While listening to one Sirius channel, the radio-friendly version of DNCE's "Cake by the Ocean" came on. In addition to the usual alternate lyrics for radio play, I noticed Diddy's name was censored in the line "I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi." I don't know if regular radio stations also censor this now.

I'll be seeing a local band with a meetup group Saturday night at a bar called O'Furry's.

Dad let me know the IRS accepted my tax return. My refund should be in my account on Thursday. That should give my account some breathing room for several months.

I had a good dinner tonight at an Irish pub. I ordered a Reuben sandwich and a bourbon and coke. Unfortunately, the scheduled trivia night didn't happen because the person who runs it didn't show up.

R.I.P. to radio and song parody legend Bob Rivers. I'll do a set of his songs during the Rabbit Hole this weekend.

I made an appointment for Thursday with an orthopedic doctor to get more information about the lesion on my leg. My physician said it's a chondroid lesion, and it doesn't appear to be cancerous.

I have three meetups this week. On Tuesday, I'll be doing trivia with a group at an Irish pub. The group will hold an early St. Patrick's Day celebration on Wednesday. The local broadcasters lunch will be on Friday.

I forgot I had run out of postage stamps. I bought some more today. I have two bills I need to mail on Monday.

I've resumed signing up for meetups since I have a car again.

I went to the FoxTrot Howl-O-Ween party on Saturday. It was held in a building at the National Western Complex on the north end of Denver. I felt more comfortable here because there was much more room here compared to the Denver Sweet bar where FoxTrot is normally held. In addition to a bar inside the building, there were two food trucks outside for the event. I got three street tacos from one truck at the beginning of FoxTrot, then got a Philly cheese steak from the other truck near the end. Even though I felt lonely at times, I actually stayed for the entire event.

"I'm OK, I'm OK, I'm OK, I'm not alcoholic."

A little PSA I have for everyone, especially younger furries: Know your limits when it comes to alcohol. During FoxTrot, there was an attendee sitting near me who had obviously drank too much and had vomited at least twice.

I haven't done much this past week, hence the lack of entries. I went to a meetup at a local restaurant today. The restaurant has a Nashville hot chicken sandwich that's not really spicy. I ordered that with a few gin drinks.

I'm still trying to make a list for a Costco shopping trip in two weeks. My brother's friend will be visiting and wants to take me shopping. The only item I have on the list so far is a pair of flip-flops. The store's selection of shirts and pants aren't available in my size.

Only 50 days until my Halloween cruise!

Whenever I'm mad or anxious, I'm glad my body doesn't puff up the way some animals' bodies do. I would have definitely been puffy earlier tonight. The meeting room my group was in is also a children's playroom, so they were occasional children in the room.

Last night's singles meetup was great. The restaurant has a wall of self-service taps for its variety of beers, ciders and other drinks. The cherry cider I had was fantastic, but a mule I tried tasted like carbonated floor wax. I ordered a plate of fries topped with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream and red chili. Usually I can handle spicy foods, but the red chili was SUPER spicy.

I got my haircut today. Sport Clips was offering a 2-for-1 deal on its MVP package, which included 2 hot face towels.

I'll be going to a singles meetup tomorrow night, then a political meetup on Thursday night.

I wasn't able to get a new passport because I forgot I needed my birth certificate. I'll need to pick that up at Dad's house then make another appointment for the passport.

At the meetup tonight, the bar had run out of Hefeweizen beer. I ordered a Kolsch beer instead, which tasted just as good. I didn't get any food at the meetup since I had a late lunch.
jcollie719: (Jerzei head)
I should have enough time to get a haircut tomorrow before my 2:30 appointment to get a new passport. As with other pictures of me, I like to not have long, tangled hair.

I also have a meetup to attend tomorrow at 5:00. The organizer is taking a vacation for a few weeks, but I'm also in other groups that will still meet.

I signed up for Saturday's furry bowling meet. I'll probably just partial suit for this meet.

I'm happy that Romeo has an automated stream of furry music running on his site. It helps me pick songs for my shows as well as discover artists I don't currently have. I also get inspiration from streamers who play music, like TwitchDaWoof's vinyl streams.

I'll be attending a wine tasting tomorrow with one of my meetup groups.
jcollie719: (Boat Collie)
Since tomorrow is a "pay day" for me, I'll make the final payment for my upcoming cruise. It will be nice to have that paid off. My accounts won't be as empty as they have been for the past few months.

I also have a meetup tomorrow at a brewery I've never been to before. The organizer said there may be a food truck there. I'll have a light snack before then just in case there isn't a food truck.

UPDATE: There was a Mexican food truck outside tonight. I got a steak burrito to have with my beers from the brewery.

 101 days until DenFur and 165 days until my Halloween cruise!

I'm hearing thunder in the distance, but I don't have any rain yet. I'll be attending a meetup at a bar later today. I may do some food shopping after the meetup since I only have a few meals left.
jcollie719: (Jamie pawpet)
I'm sorry that I don't have much to talk about so far this week. I went to a bar and restaurant in Old Colorado City tonight with one of my meetup groups. Part of their menu is Korean street food. I had the Korean-style BBQ cheesesteak sandwich. When I mentioned that I used to be on the radio, one of the group members talked about an announcer I know who does the commentary for Air Force hockey games. The local broadcasters lunch will happen on Friday, and that announcer usually attends the lunch.

I have another meetup scheduled for Saturday at the Hatch Cover bar. I've been there a few times and like their food and drink menus. I have an app on my phone to request songs on their jukebox.
