Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! Working that relatively short close tonight. Definitely getting in a nap today...maybe in just a few minutes. Lilo wanted her breakfast so I got on up and warmed up some leftover shepherds pie for myself too, to eat with my morning vitamins.
I think I could have easily just gone back to sleep instead.

Good Sunday Afternoon!
Yay for the BG, postprandial! Great reading.
I don't know if NS ever did a shepards pie, but I do remember one shelf stable that came with mashed potatoes.. I tried it ONCE, the potatoes really didn't taste bad...but they were GRAY. YUCK! I just don't do gray potatoes!! LOL!!
I've fed cats, and me, drove 50 minutes to Cumming GA, watched Nate score a goal, (and get 2 penalties, my little bad boy! just like his father!) His team won so it was a happy morning. Rained as we left the rink, so everybody got a bit 'damp' I faired the best, I had on my new purple rain coat! My red umbrella was, however, in the car...so I couldn't lend it to anybody. Rained the whole drive to Whole Foods, slowed to a sprinkle while I was in the store, and then quit completely for my drive home, until I drove into the garage and it started raining again. Have half inch in the gauge since I left home this morning.
Picked up 3 ears of my non-GMO corn on the cob, some amall amounts of veggies from the salad bar to sauteé for my dinner add ins, they had that darned, and delicious vegan chocolate mousse....Yes, dessert tonite!
I've had lunch.
Roger, I don't know if the fix for the mower will be cheap, but it will be fixed! and it will be cheaper than buying a new mower.
Sat with my DIL's Mom, and it occurred to me that starting when my boys were little, (Nate's age), I have been going to early morning Ice Hockey games for 40 years!!! NO WONDER I'm so tired! LOL!! and heading in to read for a short while and have a nice rainy day nap!!

Hi All
Feeling somewhat better each day so far.
In Addition to walking Yesterday Morning, After a Not 100% Day I decided to walk in the Evening too. So Saturday ended up being early Morning & Evening walks, each 2.75 miles. Then I walked this morning another 2.75 miles. The weather was warm last night and comfortable this morning. Since We seems to be heading into above average temperatures for today and the next 4 days I suspect that today was the last nice morning for a little while. I am officially tired now.
Have a Really Good Sunday
Roger
Hi Ed
I agree with Valerie that all the NS Shelf Stable meals that I have tried that have mashed potatoes, The potatoes are at best very poor. Two different iterations of Meatloaf and Mashed, Homestyle beef and Mashed etc.
The Shelf Stable Loaded Baked potato in a cup where You add water is OK, Basically instant Mashed potatoes. I was surprised when I ordered it since I had not read the cooking directions and thought it was some sort of small whole Baked potato
I have seen and saved multiple recipes for Shepard's pie using the Loaded Baked Potato from users on the old NS forum however.
Cheers
Roger
Hi Valerie
Time to run for Dinner so I will be brief. Gray Mashed, Brown Mashed and reddish mashed potatoes in the SS dinners I tried and all more or less inedible too.
Good Luck with the Mower, I though they were supposed to come and fix it on premises the other day?

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Working a long middle today. Bleah. Got to bed about 12:30 and have to be back at work by 10:30. Might be late. She's there until 12:45 so if I'm late, she can just get over it. She's the one who scheduled this.————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Hi All
I Walked again this morning 2.75 Miles & 25 cents, warm at 76 degrees, Dew Point in the 70s making it humid too.
We worked on the Roto Tiller yesterday, New Fuel line, flushed the tank. Runs on a prime in the carburetor only. It looks like I need to order a rebuild kit for the Carb. Not totally unexpected, it sat for over 10 years with fuel in the tank, My brother forgot to run it dry when it was put away. Oh Well
Have a Really Great Monday

Good Morning, its Monday. I hid in bed as long as I could..LOL!!
I think I have about 60 pages of this book to finish, and I promise I will not start another until at least next week. Somebody's gotta work around here, and I can't get these lazy cats to do anything!!!!
I thought about you yesterday Roger! I was thumbing thru my fb news feed, and some guy found $20 and used that money to play the lottery....and won. Talk about a return on your investment!!! So, save up your change, and when you see a 'lucrative' lotto pot...buy some tickets!!!
No, the other day I found the place, today I will call them...then we will know how busy they are, by how many days before they can come here to fix it!.
Ed, what a schedule error on her part. I've seen that appear (rarely) on my schedule, and balked loudly!
I think I need another cup of coffee, and then its time to get some chores started. BTW, it is nearly eleven oclock, and its only 72 outside. It was in the 60's when I got up around 9 a.m. Nice!!! Doors open....doesn't seem to be a breeze, but the cool air is seeping in.
Later...

Welllll, thats a disappointment....
My mobile repair van is a franchise...and they don't have a franchise in GA!! POOP!!!
DS1 found another uTube and he's coming Sunday to try it....after that I call the local guy and pay for the pick up.
I'm frankly OVER this d@)($% lawn mower, and I'm sure you're all tired of hearing about it. Sorry!

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Long middle again today. J is supposed to be coming home tonight! Yay!
We actually get that scheduling "error" often, though it's usually an 11:30 turnaround, rather than 10:30. That's a little easier to accomplish, though 10:30 is do-able. It is better than when I sometimes had to work 16 hours (someone called in) at the little grocery (35 years ago) and then have only 8 hours off and have to be back again.————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Hi All
I was out walking today, slightly better conditions than Yesterday for walking
I pulled the next 5 days food from the cupboard and created menus for those days. I have a couple of frozen dinners and 8+ Frozen Lunches left that I am working on using up. My Order closed out Sunday at 6PM. I wonder if it will make it here before the Labor Day holiday. My NutriSystem orders have been processing slower than When I started with them.
Have a Great Tuesday

Hi Valerie
I saw that news article on the TV, $20 found and won a Million Dollars, Darn good return on found money
It is a nuisance cleaning the engine on Our Mower, It turns out to only be a few bolts and voila the cover is off and a Can of Computer Blow Out Air, A Lot Cheaper than having paying to have it done every year or two. I have the procedure down to where I think I'll do it every year as a precaution. On Mine it is, One Bolt, Pull (Pry) the Plastic cover over the Rope Pull start. Remove several Bolts, lift off the metal shroud and there it is. That nest that was in there was also blocking the governor and causing the engine to race.
On Mine there is a plastic cover that the pull rope come through that is held on with one screw and then the metal shroud as shown below.
Good Luck

Well, today was even worse! When I got there the AC in the kiosk was broken. It was 86 degrees already in there and felt like a sauna. I told the lead, as soon as I walked in, literaly, NO F****** WAY could I stay out there very long. The store sent out a medium sized box fan, but that (and the small fan that I brought out several months ago) were totally unable to cope. All they did was move hot air. Very hot air. There are no vents if the AC isn't working. No windows that can open. I told management as well that there was no way I could be out there for 8 hours (minus the profanity) and I started by working in the store, replenishing the stock for the fuel center, and then tried to work out there for as long as I could, while the lead went home to recover, having drank the Powerade that I told her to drink whether she thought she needed it or not.
When I started feeling REALLY ICKY, after a couple of hours mostly in there, (I did step out whenever I could but customers kept coming to the kiosk so I had to go back in) I called in and they sent someone out to take over. At that time it was 90 degrees in there and they realized that it was really impossible. For her they propped the door open, and put a waste basket full of ice in front of the box fan.
Aside from getting OUT OF THE HEAT, I knew what else I needed to do so I sat up in the break room drinking more Powerade Zero (third bottle and began a fourth bottle) until I felt well enough to go home, whereupon they called and told me that it was fixed (but no, they didn't expect me to come back) so I'd know it was safe to come back tomorrow. And to make sure I got home OK. Then I laid down until nearly dinner time. At that point I made dinner and I finished off the last Powerade with dinner. Feeling pretty human now, but it took time, rest and plenty of fluids. I think the lead realized after I told her to drink the Powerade, just how much fluid she was losing via sweat. She stayed out there as it got hotter and hotter while I was doing the replenish. By the time I got that done, it was getting into afternoon and REALLY hot.
Working a long close tomorrow, assuming it stays fixed...and then maybe 4 hours in the middle Thursday and then OFF through the entire Labor Day week. I'm ready...————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Good Morning all..its Wednesday!
Ed, what a terrible experience. I think they broke every labor law in the book! Hopefully that is an experience you will never have to re-live.
It looks like I was MIA yesterday. Sorry. Chores, gym, Walmart, and Olivia's gymnastics put quite a dent in my day.
Roger, thanks for all the lawn mower help. Since the mower worked, and worked well until August, and since it lives in my garage, I don't think it has any critter nests, and there is no way I can get out my wrenches and such and do anything much. Not being able to get on ones knees, struggle getting not only up, but down onto the floor, etc, and the arthritis in my right hand pretty much precludes my days of mechanical adventure! (nice thing about tractors, they're tall, and all the good stuff is at least waist high! except axles )
Today, soon to get ready for trip to ATL and my chiro, and a Whole Foods/Midtown experience, home, quick trip out to get my lotto tickets for the next 2 weeks, and then my late afternoon chat with DS1. (he had a meeting and was not at O's gymnastics last night).
I had the local news on my iPad earlier, while I was still dozing, and I think we're in for some much cooler day time temps for a couple days. 70's ? if I heard right... wow!!!
Ok, off to the shower...

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Working that long close tonight but if the AC is working, won't mind a bit. Company is coming in tonight but J will be picking them up at the Marta station. Then tomorrow night we all go downtown and check into hotels, though the other couple will be in a different hotel, for DragonCon. From that point, any calls from the store will be unanswered and any messages left for me will be, perhaps, briefly considered, then laughed off. Vacation means NO, YOU DON'T GET TO CALL ME IN so there!

Hi All
I Went out walking earlier today, 5:21AM, It was better than yesterday, Whew!
several blocks from the house a Walking Appetite AKA Deer ran out of a front yard on down the side street heading towards the brook over that way. We suspect that they live in the brush and trees along the brooks here in town.
I see that I have a NS Shipment out for delivery today or tomorrow, that answers my question will anything ship before the Holiday. It did not indicate what is out for shipment unfortunately, Frozen, Shelf Stable or both. I seem to only get a email on whichever of them is the first to ship
Have a Nice Wednesday

Hi Ed
being dehydrated will get You every time. I have Driven tractor trailers with no AC and on the really hot days even a fan just blows hot air as You stated. I worked with someone that had to be rescued from the heat under those conditions, He passed out sitting in traffic No Accident luckily.

Hi Kat
When I worked on the Lawnmower and Rototiller I rolled them over where I could sit on the Picnic table bench to do the work for the same reason, to get down to their level

Hi
I see I'm first today
I was walking this morning, Ended up walking Three miles & 6 Cents due to having to change routes on the fly. We have not had to much lawn mower noise lately, Most of the lawns are a nice brown due to lack of rain
Some leafs have been falling already too, possibly the same root cause.
Whee, My Delivery is out for delivery today, I will find out what it is when it is delivered, SS, Frozen or both.
Have a Great Day

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Working a short middle today and then off to check into a downtown hotel. We are NOT driving downtown today. There are supposed to be 65,000 people downtown for a big game and several thousand MORE for another, not as big game, and the vice president will be driving around at about the same time!
We are taking the Marta in, DURING the games so it will hopefully not be too crowded, as the crowds will already be seated watching the games, and the vice president's drive shouldn't affect the train much, if at all.
The air conditioning was working well enough yesterday at work, and it was a reasonably pleasant 8 hour closing. When I got there it was 74 degrees, and it mostly bounced between 75 and 77 as the afternoon and evening progressed, finally getting back down to 74 and eventually to 72 (where it was set) by late in the evening, after dark. Don't know if the repaired system will be able to maintain that temperature, but the "old" one usually kept it below 75. We'll see. 77 is acceptable with enough air movement, as long as the AC dries the air out enough, and it was. Every time it went UP a degree I checked to make sure it was actually blowing cold air. Didn't want any sneaky surprises.
Nice that your delivery is arriving today, Roger! But you still don't know which one?

Since Ed's got the day off from work, and Roger and I are retired, TGIF is sorta a non-issue today!
70 humid degrees outside, I just heard the garbage truck(s), cats fed, me next. Coffee this morning at a coffee place Marietta saw and wants to try. Maybe lunch.
I need to run to the store for banana's (how could I forget banana's? ), and a few minutes at the gym would be a good thing too! So, that's my day in a nutshell... tomorrow is early morning hockey with Nate.

Hi All
I was out walking this morning, I stopped at the 7Eleven, No lids for the extra large coffee cups so I suggested pulling the empty cups until they have lids, It was done right away. Why it did not occur to the clerk, I do not know?
Yesterday after the bank opened I walked up there, 4 blocks each way in addition to the morning walk. Then my BBB came and I spent some time checking it in and marking it. I marked it with a delivery number and calorie count on each item. This way I can look in the cupboard and pull a balanced days foods. Thus if I have a High calorie dinner I can look at a low calorie Breakfast or lunch. This works for me since I lay out my food ahead of time
I am getting ready to head off to CostCo for Frozen vegetables and Dannon L&F greek Yogurt 16 pack and maybe Fruit.
Have a Great Friday

I do now that it has arrived, it arrived at 12:49 according to FedEx tracking, All shelf stable, That is OK as I was getting a little low on a couple of things. The President or VP tie up the metro NY area all the time too.
As far as I am concerned they should stay in Washington
I have my fingers crossed that the AC keeps doing the job for You.

Hi Again
So true about TGIF OTOH for the last 16 years of work I worked Monday through Saturday so mine was TGIS. And the 14 years of work before that was not a traditional Monday to Friday job either. Since it was in operation 7 days a week excluding some Holidays You could be off on Saturday and work Sunday or whenever.
My brother picked up Bananas the other day for me, I blended the last one into a Vanilla Protein Shake as it was way ripe. They are delicious that as a Banana Shake however so no loss that way.
Have a Good Weekend

Howdy y'all from beautiful downtown Burbank. Er, I mean Atlanta! You bet your sweet bippy! (Let's see how many people get THOSE references...)
It's fabulous Friday! I'm skipping my usual signature block this morning as that paste-in is on my other computer at home and I'm on the mini-Dell this morning. I found an acceptable (though expensive) breakfast downstairs a while ago and am about to shower and get on with the day. Sipping tea now.
OK. J is out of the shower so in I go!
Later gators!

Found a nice, bright, clean coffee shop...Asian..LOADS of sweet desserts, and nice coffee's. Several sandwiches, and even a grilled veggie with balsamic vinegar. Also a veg friendly salad.
That was nice.
Then there was an 'Internet Cafe'..which M had to stick her head in to believe what it was. The word 'cafe' ..and she was SURE there was at least sandwiches. Not.
The 3rd place was also Asian...bakery goods, and more luscious looking cases of desserts, cakes, etc.
So, I guess we will be seeing little 'round' Asians, soon, if they go there often!! LOL!
Ok, Ed...
Gary Owens announced the Rowan & Martin show from 'Beautiful Downtown Burbank'...and See You Later Gator was from Bill Haley and the Comets...from the movie Rock Around the Clock.
And you can Bet Your Sweet Bippy, was another Rowan & Martin buzz phrase. I loved the Rowan & Martin show.
So, now we know for sure I'm 72!!! LOL!!

Hi All
I was out walking again, Later today a recycle run, Need to check and see if they are open first. It is cooler this morning than yesterday, still feels a bit humid however.
I asked the clerk at the Quick Chek, Who gets stuck working Monday? His answer, Everybody, No Holidays here.
Have a Great Weekend and Holiday

I think I would be afraid to stick my head in those Coffee shops, Just the aroma and I might gain weight
I saw that movie FWIW. Not in the cinema of course but I love the oldies. One of our PBS stations used to show silent movies with a Live Piano accompaniment.
Today and Tomorrow we get decent fairly cool weather before heading back to the nineties later in the upcoming week. September?

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! 50% chance of scattered showers today, and a bit cooler. I ran into an old friend and his boyfriend in one of the crosswalk bridges the other night but we were moving in heavy crowds, in opposite directions. There was just time for a quick HELLO shouted across and then we were gone. I sent him a message telling him where we're staying in case they want to get together later. They live in Tucker but we never see each other. Isn't that just the way of the world?
We were up really late last night, as we had to Marta back toward home to feed the sugar gliders. There was an elderly woman on the train who looked like she was not feeling well and her luggage kept falling over (and she kept putting her head between her legs and apparently falling asleep) but she insisted she was all right, just tired. However, when I asked her where she was going she mumbled something about Kroger (with two big rolling suitcases? I think not) and when pressed said she was getting off at 5 points (which she had passed before J and I ever got on the train.
I kept an eye on her until we reached our stop at the end of the line and then J stayed with her while I paged the train operator. She had removed herself from the train by then but the operator took over for us and convinced her to get back on and we left her in his capable hands...at least I hope they were capable. When we got back to the station about an hour and a half later, he was operating the train we were riding back downtown and waved at me as he walked by.
We've seen all sorts of interesting costumes, including Peter Pan's shadow, running around without him.
Later!

Good Saturday day!!!
Early hockey, game won. Nate's team is 2 for 2!!! Spent a good bit of my time stopping at every Walmart and Publix I saw on the way back...Nobody has my Sobe Lifewater/Yumberry. Makes me think its a production or distribution problem. Oh, well...
Have had my lunch, and am headed for the gym!
Ed, sounds like you are having great fun. I hope your Tucker friend did get in touch with you later in the evening.
Which line do you get on when you ride Marta? Glad you could help the poor old soul. (Roger, I swear it was not me!!)
Roger, those desserts looked amazing. But I know better than to look too long, or heavens forbid, eat. One of the biggest lies told is....'I'll just have a little sliver', or 'I"ll just one bite'. Right up there with 'I'll remember, I don't have to right it down,' LOL!!
Later...0 -
Just read my post from yesterday. I must have been more tired than I realized.... make that last statement say
"I don't have to WRITE it down".0 -
Good Sunday Morning!
Watched church, cats fed, first coffee gone, need to get a.) another cup of coffee, and b.) find my breakfast. Both simple chores as I know how fast the Keurig is, and I know just what I'm going to eat!
Beautiful morning here. Sun shining thru the trees its about 72 degrees and a very slight breeze..just enough to ruffle those leaves on the tree. Screened door open, and the cats must be satisfied as they've both gone...(you know they're somewhere napping)
My only agenda today is to start on those two book cases in my room. This is going to be a LONG chore, as I hate parting with books...yes, even the ones that are dust covered that I haven't looked at in years. This may prove to be Almost as hard as quitting smoking was 15 years ago. Not only that but then what to do with them. I think Goodwill or Salvation Army will be gifted with a bounty of books!
Hope everyone has a great day. OH, by chance did either of you see the Nebraska vs BYU game yesterday evening? I tuned in about 6:30 or so, just in time to see the last 5 minutes of the game...Nebraska ahead by one point, game seemingly in the books, and then, while texting/chatting with my friend from Nebraska, watched the unthinkable.
That was quite an ending...not so happy in Nebraska...oh no!!!
Being from MO, Nebraska was ALWAYS a foe! Huskers needed to be stopped at all costs, etc. But that ending brought me no real joy... I must be getting old???? hmmmmm

Hi All
I was out walking & 5Cents, Temperatures around 56 Degrees when I started out. On my return to the house and opened a front window and a back window to get some fresh air. After Breakfast I cleaned the Grill and Filter on the Living Room Wall mount AC. I still need to call or Email NutriSystem. The NutriChocolates in my BBB were melted together and the Latest Bear has a big open seam where the head joins the Body in the front. Since they did not substitute for the Granola Cereal Now I wish I had not lowered the quantity
Have a Great Holiday Weekend

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! 50% chance of scattered showers today, and a bit cooler. I ran into an old friend and his boyfriend in one of the crosswalk bridges the other night but we were moving in heavy crowds, in opposite directions. There was just time for a quick HELLO shouted across and then we were gone. I sent him a message telling him where we're staying in case they want to get together later. They live in Tucker but we never see each other. Isn't that just the way of the world?
We were up really late last night, as we had to Marta back toward home to feed the sugar gliders.

Hi Valerie
Several Options, Charity as You mentioned, The own Library here takes book donations and sells them off at different prices for Paperbacks or Hardcover. Either way they get some benefit as do the patrons. Or sell them on eBay, if any are hard to get out of print there may be a demand. I had to buy a couple of Out of Print books for my brother a while back, Not too many choices either.
Have a Great Day

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! We slept in this morning but then we were up past 4:00 with the late late showing/performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Barry Bostwick (who played Brad in the movie, 40 years ago) was a special guest before the show.
Finally got up and to brunch at about 11:00. Fortunately the Corner Bakery Cafe serves breakfast any time.
Off to see if I can snag a copy of "Leonardo's Cat" at the art show and sale. If I do, I'll post a picture of it later.

Hi All
I got out walking this morning a hour before Sunrise, a little warmer than Yesterday but still comfortable.
Have a Great Holiday

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Happy Labor Day! Last morning of Dragon Con here. We are getting all cleaned up and ready to check out. The vendors area of the con is supposed to stay open (at least some of the vendors) until 5 or so and we'd like to go through there when it's, hopefully, less crowded and crazy. We have strolled through a couple of times but it was just too crazy for words. J bought something but I haven't bought anything from that side as yet. I did buy something from the art area but that was in a different building. I'll take a photo of the cat (in the Mona Lisa pose) for y'all later.
Lilo will be thrilled to have me home again for more than just a few minutes each night!
