Good Morning!
Lovely Saturday...when I got up it was still pretty dark, but not because it was early....it was super cloudy this a.m. No rain though. We're sitting at 'Extreme Drought' at this point. Not nice Old Mom Nature...not nice at all.
I spent a few minutes having some fun in the kitchen. Heck it was all cleaned up, needed some dirty dishes, right? I cooked beets in the Instant Pot (elec. pressure cooker) or InstaPot as I call it, and they were great! 15 minutes! Wooza! And I cleaned and cooked asparagus, and I used up the last of a container of spinach sautèed, onion, garlic and mushroom to go in it...oh, and I warmed a bit of the leek soup, and made it a sauce! LOL! Big plate of breakfast! Tasty too!
Have a pineapple to cut up...will eat what I can, and Monday I will freeze the rest for later.
As far as I know, we will be going to St. Simons. So, need to take stock and see just where I am on food that has to be consumed before I leave, and segregate it from the food that will keep til I return on Sat. night. Shouldn't be too difficult
And I have a bit of internet work to do....a bit of straightening up as Ted is coming out Sunday to go to the hockey game with me, and ??? after. Lunch no doubt.
The chicken pot pi, and the two golden retrievers contemplating human meal are funniest!
Jack and Jenn got a rescue golden..weird dog...but really good at snatching food from counters, table, etc. I've never had a dog big enough to do that...well, thats not quite true...I had a beagle mix that got pretty tall, and could have snatched food from the table, but knew better!
Time to get me wound up and going!
Later...0 -
Well, it's been a sort of lazy day, but I did do the monthly flush of the air conditioner drain, and made sure the sink is clear. I've set out some vegetables for a stir fry for tonight and pulled a whole chicken out of the freezer to thaw up so that in a few days I can make a roasted chicken.
So it hasn't been a totally lazy day...
And I updated my Windows 10 virtual sandbox.

Tonight’s dinner. Wine was Tapaculo Rosè, 2015. Dinner was stir fry of dry fried tofu, parsnip, onion, red and green bell pepper, and broccoli, with a sauce made starting with some Hoisin Garlic sauce, with added sriracha, vegetarian oyster sauce and soy sauce. This was served over small servings of jasmine rice. The wine was a decent pairing for the food, which was delicious and there ARE leftovers.

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Sunday!
Woke up at about quarter to four, not surprisingly. But of course I need to be up even earlier tomorrow to begin my last two weeks at Kroger.
Lilo has been fed and so have I, along with all my vitamins and morning supplements.
This seems to be MY WEEKEND for lottery. I won $6 in the Thursday Jumbo lottery, which I claimed on Friday. Then I won $6 more in Friday's MegaMillions and woke this morning to find I won $8 in last night's PowerBall!
So, $20 total for lottery from the three night's. That isn't bad at all, so I'm calling last week a great week! Finally got rid of the house in Memphis, put in my notice at Kroger, and won $20. Definitely a great week.
Laundry today, and some dishes.

Good Morning Guys...its Sunday!
Ed's Lucky Week...house sold, lottery wins, job notice....followed by laundry and dishes...which at first struck me as oh, then the gratefulness gene kicked in and said, well, he's got clothes to wash..some don't. and dirty dishes nearly always means there is/was food! So, yep, Ed's Lucky Week!!
BTW, your dinner LOOKS wonderful...too bad computers can't help you smell the things you choose to smell....like flowers and Ed's dinners!!
Ted coming out and going to Cumming Ga with me for Nate's hockey game..so sorta need to get in the shower and eat some breakfast. Think food wise looks a lot like leftover beets and asparagus and spinach with potato leek 'sauce'!
I should trade all of that for Ed's leftovers from dinner!!! LOL!! HA HA, and fat chance!!
I expect I may be making a similar dish soon, as it looked so good.
I have started a Spanish class online...this is a hoot. I've done 3 lessons, and I knew all the words except lo siento...that was new. What has hung me up is SPELLING the words, and the diacritical marks, meanwhile, buenos días, and buenas noches. Haven't learned the word for 'later' yet, but my brain says it nearly has to be mañana!!
Roger how's your knee? Hope its much better and that you are resting it again today. Take it from me, don't mess up your knees! And get help when you need it. (don't wait around like I did)...
again mañana!!

Hi
It is 48 degrees this morning a change to the warmer from yesterdays temperature. I went walking today for 5149 steps. As I was walking I felt well enough to a little further than I had originally planned to go which was a Boomerang visit for Coffee and back home.
Forecast today for the Upper 60s, warmer tomorrow, parts of NJ had a frost warning for the overnight Friday into Saturday morning. I did not see any frost Saturday morning, however it must have been cold enough to kill off the Zucchini plants as they looked wilted Saturday Morning.
Have a Great Sunday

Better Drought than Flooding like other parts of the south like I see on the news....
My Brother is muttering it looks like the lawn will need mowing again as well as he wants to rake up leaves to use in whatever he wraps the Fig Trees in.
I'm glad You liked the humor.

What did You do, Re: Waiting?
I agree it could be manana as I understand that to mean Tomorrow as in the Song, Manana is soon enough for me.

FWIW if You let the Song play through it is followed by other hit songs by Peggy
Have a Good Day

Roger,
you wrote.... "Hi Again What did You do, Re: Waiting?" And I can't figure out what it references?
Hockey game was a Shut Out, Nate scored a goal. and it was a fun day with Ted...
except maybe 2 things....one the gift of his old Garmin...vivosmart HR. Grrrr. Give me a few days, I hope I will get the hang of it....and he brought a bottle of Soylent for me to try. He's thinking of buying some to have either mornings or at work mid day.... I wish him luck.
Nasty tasting stuff. For one, he got vanilla. I have no idea what other flavors there are, but this is nearly tasteless....and I messed with it, added a good bit of vanilla, and even a pkg of artificial sweetner...still lacks taste! ???? I dunno!!!
It is dairy free which is to its favor...it also has several soy derivatives...not good, and I have reason to believe the soy is GMO...and I don't intentionally eat GMO garbage.
I do sound like a crabby ole witch!
I am tired, but this Garmin is going to drive me nutso! It obviously will not work with the stationary bike...it right now is telling me AGAIN I need to MOVE! and I have, in my opinion. all around the house but apparently that doesn't satisfy it. It does count steps, but so does my Fitbit. Like I said, give me a few days I may come to like it.
Later... mañana

Off to the salt races!

As long as the Soylent wasn't green, I wouldn't be too concerned about the ingredients...but I would be concerned about the taste!

I'm not sure what happened there beyond a fail. As far as I can recall it was something to do with what You posted, "don't mess up your knees! And get help when you need it. (don't wait around like I did)" a unclear what happened to You due to waiting?
Hmmm... I thought a Garmin was a GPS device?
A shutout, whee...
As far as GMO, I am ambivalent, I think some could be good, it can't all be bad. However how do You tell.
Have a Good Day

I had missed the Soylent Green thing until You mentioned it, Then I recalled seeing the movie.
Have Nice day at work

Woman Vacuuming Gasoline Out Of Trunk Sparks Explosion
http://1079ishot.com/woman-vacuuming-gasoline-out-of-trunk-sparks-explosion-video/A woman thought that it would be a great idea to just vacuum the gasoline out of her truck. Well, it turned out to be a TERRIBLE idea.
The woman is seen in surveillance video vacuuming the gasoline out of her trunk, but what she did not take into consideration was what could happen as a result of. An explosion.
The vacuum at the car wash was destroyed and will cost $500 to repair. Luckily, no one was injured here.
Let’s just hope this young lady learned a lesson her and NEVER decides to vacuum gasoline out of anything again.

Warren hotel clerk who grabbed gun, stopped robbery says he was doing his job

But midnight desk clerk Alan Noel turned the tables on her. When she set the gun on the counter, Noel grabbed it.0 -
Too many thoughts, too little time. I have eaten, as has Tom E. but, not even dressed yet.
Our weather is pretty much the same...the low I saw here was a bit cooler, and we'll be seeing mid 80's, no rain.
The GMO issue will have to go back burner...it IS an issue, if not to what it does to humans, or to animals, then what it does to the (earth) ie fields its sprayed on. That is HUGE. Also, never mind...I need to get day going.
Garmin is a GPS, a keeper of exercise data, a pedometer, records my heart rate as in current and avg. its a sleep watcher...as in deep sleep, light sleep, got up to pee sleepwalking, ha! and it can count laps in the pool, and more, and more and more... yep its water proof...goes with you in the shower, don't think I'd wear it in the ocean, simply because of the two little metal nodes that are part of the recharging system. (about every 4 days Ted said)...
I worsened the inflammation in my knee joints, and it made for a very long recovery. Sorta like if you banged your shin on the coffee table..do it once and it heals rather nicely...but do it several times each day and you get a different recovery. Well, I banged the heck out of my poor knees over a long time...and stubbornly kept doing it because I 'needed the exercise'...blah, blah, blah, and the recovery has been much longer than the repetitive injury.
Just sayin'.... If your walking is pain free then great...if its causing you pain, or need for Nsaids, or keeping you awake at night... you alone can decide this. Contrary to the popular saying 'I feel your pain'...no, I don't! only you feel your pain! LOL!!
Ok, I really have a list of stuff to do..like gas the car, go to the bank, trip to Walmart for cat food, I really hate running errands.....putting this off all morning. Time for action!
Loved the first 3 cartoons best....ps, the beer was not for the kids, but for the mommies!, only I'd hope they had a little better taste in brew, or tried wine. Just my fun opinion..
Later...mañana!

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Day two of the final ten. They selected a replacement who already works out in the fuel center so training can be minimized, which is good. There is still a lot to impart but I don't have to train him in general fuel center operations as well, and he's already had all the fuel safety training.
I guess he'll be coming in for the manager training a couple of days next week.
High for today creeping upward again. I think Summer is trying to make a comeback, as it's supposed to be even higher tomorrow.
86 predicted for today. 0% chance of rain again.
Off to the rat mines!

Good Morning!
Summer has returned, no trying to it! Should tie a record for today, and though I won't be here to see it, break the record heat record for the date tomorrow.
News said this morning that the water supply (from a small river) has receded to the point that they're putting porta potties at the school, and bringing in bottled water. What I didn't catch is whether its in Haralson county, or the town of Haralson. Bad, which ever it is.
Lots to do this morning...but, coffee first!
Later...0
