    Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 71 out there now with an expected high of 85 and 60% chance of rain.

    I kind of need to get to the store but I'll see how the weather looks.

    Today we are probably moving Kiara out of solitary and into general population. Or out of her private efficiency unit (with room service) into a larger suite of rooms (with room service) to live. Realistically, she's been out of the hall bathroom for most of each day since Tuesday, but still put in the hall bathroom to sleep and eat. Today we plan to get the bathroom floor back! With her toys, beds, kitty condo, food and water, floor space in there is at a premium right now. Fortunately we still have the master bath for our use. It's much bigger and Lilo's food and water are in there, and a litter box, but none of it is in the way.

    I guess I need to go ponder breakfast options.

    Hi
    I did some walking, The temperature this morning was 73 on the news channel and 70 degrees on the front porch. It is Warmer and more humid than yesterday, I worked up a light sweat today :(
    On my return I fixed the oven. I had guessed that the Baking Element had died since the Broil element was still working. We had observed that the Baking element had developed a Brighter than the rest of the element spot.
    I ordered a replacement from Amazon for a little bit under $20. Remove two screws and unplug two wires after Turning off the Circuit breaker and double checking the Connectors with a Fluke meter and reversing the process and Voila it now glows a Nice orange again :)
    Knock wood that it keeps working as the Cheap element is a Made in China Copy.

    Social Media made him do it :)

    Man drives 112 mph trying to do a Snapchat
    ALPHARETTA, GA (WSB/CNN) - Police said a man's attempt to show off to his friends on social media landed him in jail.
    Police said they pulled Malon Neal over Tuesday night after clocking him going 112 mph in a 65-mph zone.
    Dash cam video showed an officer running radar on Georgia 400 Tuesday night when a car went flying by.
    When the officer pulled over 28-year-old Neal, he made a stunning admission.
    "The reason I stopped you is I'd love to see where you're heading in such a hurry," the officer said.
    "I'm trying do a Snapchat. I'm not going to lie to you," Neal responded.
    "A what?" the officer questioned.
    "A Snapchat," Neal replied.
    "We always like when people tell us the truth," George Gordon with the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety said.
    Neal's candor coupled with that speed, landed him in cuffs.

    "You're being placed under arrest for driving that fast man. Reckless driving. 112 mph in a 65. Can't be doing that, man," the officer said."It's reckless endangerment to the motoring public."
    Cullen Chen was taking his street racer to a show when he was told about the arrest.
    "I know people do that all the time trying to show off to their friends. That's just irresponsible," Chen said.
    Chen's car can surpass 112 mph.
    "When I hit it, it's not around people. I'm pretty safe about it. Never on Snapchat,” Chen said.

    Have a Great Friday

    Hi Ed
    More Humid today and a fairly high chance of rain in the evening into tomorrow too. Warm and humid today and supposedly nicely cool if wet tomorrow.

    We are lucky that we have three bathrooms, they may not be big and not one of them is what is considered a Master bathroom size or EnSuite based on this explanation.
    In real estate, an ensuite bathroom (en suite or attached bath) is a bathroom that is connected to a bedroom. Most often ensuites are attached to master bedrooms, although they may be connected to any bedroom. En suites are thought of as private washrooms, and are never built off of common areas like hallways.
    Since two of them are common area and third is a 1/2 bath IMO none of them fit that category :)

    Breakfast option for me today is set, I had a Vanilla Protein Shake before walking and 80% of a Banana around 8:15 and the rest of the Banana will be sliced into a Bowl of Life Cereal in a hour or so sweetened with Truvia and using 5 ounces of 1% Milk.

    Have a Good Day

    We left Lilo and Kiara both out and free to roam while we ran an errand. They had 2 1/2 hours together. The house wasn't trashed while we were gone so I guess they didn't invite any friends for a wild party, and we didn't see any blood anywhere.

    I think that went well.

    We have moved Kiara's stuff out of the hall bathroom and she is now free to roam the house.
    We'll see how much sleep we get tonight with an energetic young kitten in the room...

    Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! 74 out there now with an expected high of 89 and supposedly 0% chance of rain.

    We have some kind of thing we're doing this afternoon at a friend's house. A talk about India I think, with snacks and wine...don't remember exactly what it is.

    I'll bring a bottle of wine for the hostess.

    Hi
    I did some walking, The temperature this morning was 72 on the news channel and 70 degrees on the front porch. It had drizzled before I left for my walk, The street was wet except under the trees. It also drizzled on me off and on while I was out walking.

    I watched a hilarious episode of 'Allo 'Allo yesterday. I think I may start working on getting episodes of the British Comedy "Man About The House" converted from the DVD to a better format for my media Player.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_About_the_House
    Man About the House
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    1t3joL.jpg
    Man About the House is a British sitcom starring Richard O'Sullivan, Paula Wilcox and Sally Thomsett, with Yootha Joyce and Brian Murphy, that was broadcast for six series on ITV from 15 August 1973 to 7 April 1976. It was created and written by Brian Cooke and Johnnie Mortimer. The series was considered daring at the time due to its subject matter of a man sharing a flat with two single women. It was made by Thames Television and recorded at its Teddington studio in Greater London. It is regularly repeated on ITV3.

    Two spin-off series were later made: George and Mildred and Robin's Nest. In 2004, it came 69th in a poll to find Britain's Best Sitcom. The series was remade in the United States as Three's Company in 1977. A film version was released in 1974.

    Have a Great Saturday

    Hi Ed
    I liked the foods links You posted :)

    It does sound as if it went well.

    I hope You had a peaceful nights sleep.

    Parts of NJ have had over 5 inches of rain already. Those are well to the south of me. Where I am it only drizzled (fizzled?)

    Have a Good Afternoon

    Good Morning!
    Sunday, and supposed to be quite nice for the next week. Over night temps in the mid to upper 60's...end of July?? Sweet!

    Up a little earlier today, Ted's coming out to help with chores...as always there are a few :)

    Ed didn't mention any major house damage, so I'm assuming that the cats didn't trash the house, etc...

    Roger, how are the berries? I remember replacing electric heating units in stoves, and stove top burners. Kind of repairs I like, quick, easy, and instant results!

    Need to let Tom E. in for his breakfast, and get mine heated. Then run the sweeper to pick up any crumbs and cat hair. Still need to do my weights this morning too. Time flies when I open this web site!!!! :) (in a good way)

    Later... Oh, I remember seeing the pictures of why men die younger than women....made me remember the Darwin emails that would come around every year or so....
    Hi Valerie
    I got semi lucky today, I checked three lottery tickets out of four, the fourth draws tonight. I did Cash in the lone winner for $35 after checking them.

    You left out a whole lot cheaper than replacing the Oven too :)
    It was easy enough, 2 screws, one for each leg of the element and two push on wires.

    When they are so ripe they fall off into Your hand they are sweet and delicious.

    I liked the first image I posted today FWIW.

    That would be the Darwin awards ?

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Ed, Valerie
    I watched the second episode of HGTVs Flip or Flop Atalanta yesterday where they mentioned the Beltline as a highly desirable area. They Bought a run down house to almost 1/2 million and spent 120 thousand renovating it and still made a killing.

    Big Build on the Atlanta Beltline
    Ken and Anita buy an outdated midcentury house in the Beltline area of Atlanta. With its convenient location near recreation, shopping and the downtown area, the deal is a no-brainer, but it comes with a hefty price tag and rehab budget to match. Can Ken and Anita stay on budget while keeping the home's unique architecture and upscale buyers in mind?


    Is it really that desirable an area?

    Thanks
    Roger

    The beltline is where a railroad used to circle, that is undergoing a revitalization effort. I'm sure some of the 45 neighborhoods that it claims to "bring together" in the project are more desirable than others...and like most "reality" shows, I suspect that the Flip-or-Flop episodes, while they may have some truth in them, also contain a bit of ... let's be polite and say exaggeration.

    J and Kiara stayed up most of the night so I got a good ... 6 hours of sleep and then it was about the time that Lilo usually gets me up. I stayed up late last night myself and went to bed just after Midnight.

    May go now to nap a bit if the cats let me.

    Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! 69 out there now with an expected high of 87 and 0% chance of rain.

    Probably need to get out to the vet to buy Lilo's cat food.
