Pleep Puts Ed On the DL List

In a move that will have no impact on the Monkeybutters game this week, Pleep moved Ed to the DL list after he turned his ankle. It seems that the 3 mile jaunt on the beach following the initial injury was not such a good idea. When Ed returned from the walk, Delete stepped in as trainer to ice and elevate the leg. Pleep thinks an adult beverage or two might help with the pain.

Pleep observed that the ice was only on for 20 minutes and then had to come off. Therefore, Pleep felt that Ed was not so disabled and that certain household chores could be done. The cabinets and areas under the sinks required a dusting and then installation of a plastic protective liner. When Pleep saw the measuring tape come out, he immediately reached for the cellphone to text Papa Carnicelli. There was a lot of measuring and cutting to be done. Pleep felt Ed needed more expert guidance than he was getting from Peggy, who seemed to think measuring to 1/4 inch was precise enough for the purpose at hand. After all the shelves were handled and dishes, pots, pans, etc. put back in their places, Delete insisted Ed re-ice the foot. It was indeed a bit swollen and rather purple.

It was another perfect evening and a nice Rogan Josh Chicken curry with Naan bread made for a perfect dinner. Ed managed to get up off the couch to do the cooking while Pleep made certain the Budweiser products were kept cold.

The launch of the rocket tonight from Cape Canaveral is scheduled for 11:35 pm. Pleep studied it and found out the payload is another GPS positioning satellite. It is a clear night and the countdown is on schedule. Pleep is a bit concerned that everyone might fall asleep before the launch so he is setting several alarm clocks to make certain there is plenty of advance warning.
