Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 39 degrees. Yesterday in the evening into earlier this morning there was some rain that had ended at some point in time before I left the house, Things were wet but not super wet so it was OK for walking.

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
14C/57F with an expected high of 21C/70F and 80% chance of precipitation.
I don't think I have to go anywhere today so probably won't. Need to clean up yesterday's food bowls and feed the felines.
I am pondering what to make from the ground chuck I thawed up and I think chili may be the winner.
We hit 100% precip yesterday and today and there is a possibility of more Friday
Being Lazy I did the same thing with the bargain Ground Beef I picked up Tuesday and Made Hamburgers, Lined a baking pan with Aluminum foil and Baked them, Then I scraped off the mush that is likely blood and put them in a bowl lined with 2 paper towels and between layers to drain. Currently they are in the refrigerator where I will use three of them today, Three tomorrow and the balance on Saturday, much of the first batch is broken into two portions in the freezer. Now that the Beef is cooked it can be used in many ways, including a really meaty chili.
If I said I knew they sold that, the price per pound is not that great IMO.parityanimal wrote: »WHO KNEW......Dollar Tree Sells BONELESS Chicken Breast?!? - WHAT ARE WE EATING - The Wolfe Pit

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 18C/64F with an expected high of 25C/77F and 0% chance of precipitation.
Need to do all the usual around here, and may get out to a store. Breakfast was sausage and pancakes. Lunch will likely be chili.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning.
Gray with occasional wet dripping = UGLY! That's today.
My agenda for the day? Add an app to my watch..See Little Doc at Noon, ..if not raining proceed to Kroger for a shopping before Ted leaves. Guess I'm going to have to drive my car today. Yikes!!!
Also need to call Ins. to tell them I HAVE a new car...!
This morning I see my cat (you know Tom E. the one who runs from strangers) all snuggled up on the couch with Ted!!! I offered to let Ted take him home...that didn't fly. ;( oh, well!!
Teriyaki SPAM??? Will have to watch that out of curiosity!
Also several of the others. I think I also missed a vid or two yesterday...
Roger...is that 'poor' croc going to loose that tooth tomorrow?? and be forever friends with the fly?? LOL!
Ok, thats about all I know so
Later...
Your weather reminds me of yesterday afternoon prior to the rains arrival.
I have a feeling that the more apps running in Your watch or phone the shorter the battery life ?
I do not know, I suspect so and that it was not drawn however since I have not run across it on the site.
I am somewhat surprised that You drove the car home without calling the Insurance agent and having insurance on the car. Unless Your policy gives you a grace period ?
Have a Nice Day

Good Morning!
What a day yesterday did end up being...
I do have a fracture in my fibula...the smaller of the two leg bones that go from knee to ankle. Hmmm. But, Little Doc says it should heal on its own, as it is a non-weight bearing bone. However she will feel better if I see an Ortho Surgeon. Well...........I spoke to several places that do not take 'third party' insurance..State Farm in this case,(their term not mine). Today I did find a Doc...googled him...not seeing any red flags...so I have an appointment for an opinion, and an x-ray of my LEFT knee which is getting more sore every day for about the past week! Earliest appointment Wednesday 2-13-2019. Yeah, glad this isn't an emergency!
Ted's still here. His trip to Kroger yesterday for 'essentials', followed by a pick up at VeGreen, 2-3 doors from Kroger, turned out to be not exactly a smooth move. VeGreen is closed on Wednesdays. We had forgotten that. So dinner was a bagged salad and a frozen Amy's Chinese Noodle with vegetables and sauce made with cashews. It was tasty. Will eat that again!
Right now Ted and Maya are having a morning walk at the park that is nearby.
I think he may go home for a couple days. I'll be fine. Have frozen dinners, made a batch of rice this morning, bags of frozen vegetables...from peas to stir fry mix. I will not starve! And will behave and not go skateboarding, or a 5K run. LOL!!
Dog and boy have returned. Lunch is about 2 minutes away...
Later...

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 43 degrees. I heard rain hitting the Window AC a little after midnight. When I left the house it had ended and then as I neared the house a light rain started up.

Just curious as to what type of breakfast sausage, My brother likes the big fat ones and I prefer the small links, either precooked and frozen or the small links that need cooking, I do not recall the brand of those that I see in the Grocery store.
Although I do often put butter on pasta I always use either Homemade, Canned Cento brand Pizza Sauce or a Jar such as one of the Ragu flavors. Ketchup just sounds wrong.parityanimal wrote: »Mama June's Sketti - KETCHUP + BUTTER spaghetti | Honey Boo Boo Recipe Taste Test

I find it interesting that it does not need some form of immobilization even if not weight bearing.
Weird that the left knee is getting more painful. About the only way to get taken care of by a doctor right away is if You are at the window bleeding Good Luck with the Knee

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 11C/51F with (according to the Weather Channel page) an expected high of 10C/55F and 20% chance of precipitation. 10C would be 50F, or 55F would be 13C. I guess we'll find out which high temperature(s) are correct later.
I need to get yesterday's food bowls cleaned up and feed the felines. I might get out today but might not.
Of course I would like a nap.

Hi Ed
Just curious as to what type of breakfast sausage, My brother likes the big fat ones and I prefer the small links, either precooked and frozen or the small links that need cooking, I do not recall the brand of those that I see in the Grocery store.
Roger
I like them all, but these were precooked large, thin patties from Aldi. Frozen pancakes from there too. The pancakes come in a large bag filled with packs of three so one pack can be toasted in just a few minutes, in the toaster oven, and two sausage patties take just ninety seconds in the microwave oven.

Good Morning!
Windy out there..Ted started our morning by asking me if I wanted to go fly a kite!! He was also being snuggled by Tom E. I looked at Tom E, who was staring at me, and said "Fickle cat' LOL. His dog is none to happy with that arrangement! I've offered to let Ted take the cat home with him.....(close your eyes Ed) Ted is not a fan of cats! So this is doubly funny.
The sun was out, but now it seems to be getting overcast, or cloudy? not sure. Not going out to find out either!
Roger rest easy...my Insurance covers me driving my car or someone else's car. Not a biggy. I did call them and they emailed me a temp card, and other stuff to keep in the car til they send me the real deal in the mail.
Roger laughingly said "No Skateboarding or 5K run, What ever will You do to pass the day ?" The answer is 'LAUNDRY" LOL!!
Ed, you're making a pretty big 'carrot' with the Aldi's pancakes. I don't eat them often enough to justify having a large bag of them, but it sounds wonderful. I'll leave the sausage patties for you!
I think next week we are going to see rain again...Ted set up my indoor/outdoor temp, rain, humidity gauge...and it hasn't rained since! I was beginning to believe I needed to take it down for a day or so!
My yard has just sprung into full blown spring these past few days. Lenten rose, daphne, perennial periwinkle, daffodils in clumps all over the place, etc. I need to prune my roses back before 'real' spring happens, also will commit 'crape murder' on the crape myrtle that I cut back every year...and the butterfly bush...the list is long!
Will be back later today and watch the video's!0 -

I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 29 degrees. Yesterday afternoon the wind gusts started and this morning while walking the wind gusts and hence the wind chill were still ongoing making it only semi comfortable walking.

I would love for today's weather to be in the 50s. Yesterday the High temperature was a bit early and then it started dropping throughout the rest of the day and overnight.

It always helps to have the ID card for the car insurance. Here in NJ even if You have valid insurance not having the card with you is a ticket-able offense that is hard to defend against if You choose to go to court.
Go Fly a Kite
Trying to get rid of Your Cat huh
I can tell when batteries in my remote sensor for temperature on the porch start to get near replacement time, The one my bedroom starts not receiving a reading when the temperature is low and then all the time. The other two keep working until the batteries are dead, Why the one and it doesn't matter which one I put there so it is not the readout.Ed, you're making a pretty big 'carrot' with the Aldi's pancakes. I don't eat them often enough to justify having a large bag of them, but it sounds wonderful. I'll leave the sausage patties for you!

Daphne ? That is a new one to me. Just a Nit pick, I thought that they were Crepe Myrtle ?
I am hoping that the rest of the day goes better than this morning has started out, I went to print something out and Got a Replace Toner message in the printer
Luckily when I bought it I chose to get a spare toner at a discount with the printer so I will be installing that later, Oh well. The starter toner has lasted a long time so...
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 3C/38F with an expected high of 13C/54F and 0% chance of precipitation.
I need to do all the usual stuff and we have the monthly regional orchid judging to photograph this afternoon.
I doubt I'll get any nap today.
