Bread in a can. I see nothing weird about this at all, as I've eaten canned bread. Boston Brown Bread is normally baked in a can.

Howdy y'all. It's magnificent Monday! 49 out there now with an expected high of 65 and 0% chance of rain.
We have our local Orchid Society meeting tonight and will be bringing in some donated plants from a friend, to auction off.
I need to finish yesterday's laundry.
And feed the cats, before they eat me.

Hi,
Was here this morning, read a good bit of the articles...then went to be tested for my new hearing aids. Expensive little dudes! Are you sitting down? $2100.00 each. Thank goodness I only have 2 ears. Now, I will have to say there are cheaper ones. But you get what you pay for. These mate up with my iPhone thru bluetooth, and I will have a LOT of control over how I hear.
So, with all that in mind, I went out and blew leaves for nearly 3 hours, am now in eating my dinner, and about to throw a load of dirty clothes in the washer, and if that isn't enough, I'm going to Upgrade my MacOS...it can do that by itself while I sleep. And I will sleep well tonite! And tomorrow I will be back outside working on still more leaves. Most leaves are out of the trees. I was able to get about a quarter of them blown from the front yard to the side yard. Those still need to be blown into the woods. And I'll do the same with the other quarter of the front yard.
So if you don't hear from me for a day or two, the Upgrade has not gone well...OR my arm and shoulder are too sore to type.!!!! LOL!
Later, she said muttering 'hope, hope, hope'

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 43 out there now with an expected high of 59 and no chance of rain.
I need to fold some clothes, feed me, feed the cats, and clear the sink.
Possibly a grocery trip and hopefully a nap!
Lilo has had her Tuesday shot.

Hi
I did was walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 29 on the porch and 31 on the cable channel. I got a late start today due to sleeping late
My sole plans for today is a trip to the Dollar Store for a Quart or two of UHT Milk to put on the shelf and some Greeting Cards for a Birthday and Christmas, FWIW they sell at a 2 for $1.
No Links today
Have a Great Tuesday

It would not be the first time cats did that, OTOH I think you need to be one of the no longer with us.
I'm somewhat curious as to how the vet visit went, Did the needed sample happen ?parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 43 out there now with an expected high of 59 and no chance of rain.

I had heard that they were pricey, that is beyond pricey IMO
Are the rechargeable or are you going to be buying batteries for them ?
I hope Your OS upgrade went well, every now and then that sort of thing goes poorly. As an example the last iPhone updates they were talking about on the news and the Auto-correct was off
Good Luck with the leaves

Roger...yes, they (hearing aids)(but I knew that going in) are pricy, and I've had cheaper ones, but these offer so many ways to adjust to MY ears, my way, etc. I think it will def. be worth the price. Will take nearly 2 years to 'replace' the money spent back into my account. Doable.
Batteries, quarterly cleaning, quarterly filter changes, all the appt.s I need to get them set up just for me, etc are all "FREE". Love the idea of free batteries. I'm almost out of the ones for my one HA (hearing aid). So there won't be much waste.
My install of High Sierra went beautifully. I don't think I've ever had a more seamless install.
Leaves on the other hand...omg...with only one quarter of the front yard blown, the pile was over knee deep and a good 8 ft long...deep enough there were several times that I shuffled into them and by keeping my feet heel to heel I could advance the leaves 'around the corner of the house to the kitchen side yard...from there its blow the leaves into the woods. At one point while 'wading' in the leaves I almost lost my balance, and got the giggles. Of all the times I've actually fallen, I've never had a serious outcome....would be my luck to fall into a 2-2 ½ inch pile of leaves and break something!!! On the other hand...falling into a big pile of leaves would transport me back to being a kid and flaying around like a 6 year old!
Off to the gym. While blowing leaves with a hand held Toro Blower, may build a few shoulder and arm muscles...it does next to nothing for cardio. So, today will be not only leaves, but cardio as well. Makes for a well rounded exercise day.
I've read my 10 minutes and a few more minutes to end a chapter in my book.
yesterday's dried clothes are folded and put away, and today's laundry is washed and flying around in a nicely heated drum! Dishwasher got unloaded, and I guess that's about all other than feeding Tom E. Cat, and fixing myself a big brunch salad, and a bowl of the split pea soup that I made the other day....

ALL of the sudden auction plants we took to the meeting were sold. This pleased us immensely as that meant we didn't have to bring any home for future dispersal. We do have some plants left, as we didn't bring them all, but what's left isn't that much and can go another time. Probably next month.
Lilo's visit Sunday did, indeed, result in the needed sample happening. The doctor called today with the results and said NO BACTERIA, apparently, present in the urine. Just a trace of blood, but since they collect with a needle (I didn't know that) there is sometimes blood from that.
She did suggest waiting a week or so after finishing the current round of antibiotics, and doing a urine culture to make sure all was OK. Lilo has, I think, three days left of the Zeniquin. So in about 10 days we'll go back for that.
I give Lilo her Tuesday shot myself.

Dinner tonight was simple. Eduardo whipped up some pasta e fagioli because it sounded good. Vegetarian "no chicken" broth, cannellini beans, diced carrot, garlic powder, onion powder, several good shakes of Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy (maybe about 4 teaspoons?), ditalini, tomato paste (at the end), and a splash of garlic and chili infused olive oil to help carry the flavors.
It was quite tasty and there is at least one good serving left. The ditalini will have absorbed most of the water and gotten too soft, but that will still be tasty.

If I wasn't so darned busy Ed, I'd have you save that last serving! Sounds delicious! Leaves are now officially OVER until every last danged leaf has dropped. I was at about half what I wanted to do today, and Lu my neighbor stopped me and said she was going to blow the leaves in her yard...Lu's down hill from my yard, and has NO trees,so its rather obvious where the leaves in her yard came from!!!! Did I mind if she blew them into her back yard....what a great idea!! I was about on my last leg, and told her I'd get the rest of ''my yards" leaves tomorrow, and later when I looked she'd blown all the leaves into her back yard! So, all I have left is the garage side of the house....whew! I will have to do the front again to get all the leaves from some of the flower beds that didn't get blown very well, and those last leaves still in the tree. Or maybe just leave them...its not a lot. We'll see!!
I'm heading to bed...its 10 o'clock, and I'm really tired.
Later...0 -

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
Still need to fold that last bit of laundry that somehow keeps evading me. I think it WANTS to lie around in the dryer.
It's just some sheets and foldable tees, sock and undies so it's not a big deal but I do eventually need to get it out.
Lilo has had her pill. Two of those to go!
I need to get out to the grocery still, sometime before the weekend.
And, as always, a nap would be lovely.
