Good Morning!
Watching Ed's failed restaurant vid. I used to really like Howard Johnsons Fried Clams! I'd never heard of Chi-Chi's? Must have lived in the wrong part of the country!
Morning, though short has gone well..Cat and I had a short rock, as he 'gently' bit me, and I fussed at him, and 'kitten' if he didn't do it again as I was fussing at him. So he got his breakfast and then took himself out the door to the porch.! Suited me fine too!
Need to get my gym clothes on, and get that over with for today. I'm actually seeing bits of sunshine! Hope to be home early and have a good afternoon in the back yard killing brambles!
No grocery shopping needed today, so the pancake and syrup Peeps are safe
at least for another day or two!
Later...I have a couple of Rogers news clips to look at later while I eat my lunch.

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 38 on the porch. The second day of the four forecast days rain has not started yet. I was dressed warmer due to the lowered temperature and the wind had a bit of a chill to it. Yesterdays Temperature was 30 to 40 degrees lower at 4PM than Wednesdays and was lowering throughout the day.

Heading out after a while for Jury Duty. I think we are earning our $30 day. You would think they would pay more if you actually get selected and have to sit in a jury, since that's more work than sitting around in the jury room but it's $30 per day regardless.
Oh well, it's $30 extra for each day for me since my "employer" won't be deducting it from my pay.
You must be feeling delusional if You think a Government entity would do something that makes sense for the common man
I have eaten at Howard Johnsons, I was not impressed TBHparityanimal wrote: »Commercials for defunct eateries.
I have tried those two sandwiches that show, I have not yet watched the Video.parityanimal wrote: »More Dollar Tree taste testing.
They were tasty enough if somewhat high in calories and Carbohydrates. The Chicken Sandwich needed a bit of flavoring, Mayo or BBQ Sauce.The Burger was OK Too, Add a little Mayo or Ketchup and not too bad for a Dollar.

Chi-Chi's is a Mexican Eatery that used to be in parts of the country. Since I do not care for Mexican food I never ate there. I sort of wonder if Chipotle will make it after all the problems their food has had.
If I said I do not think I will try or be tempted by the other flavors of Peeps.
Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 56 out there now with an anticipated high of 75 and 10% chance of precipitation.
I don't have to work today, since the trial is over. It wasn't fun, but it was interesting, though some of the testimony got a bit tedious. They gave us notepads and pens to take notes with, and we all used them. No one else wanted to be the foreperson for the jury so I volunteered and it didn't take us too long, once all the testimony was over.
In two or three weeks I should receive a gift card with a value of $60 to compensate me for my two days of jury duty. I think all six of us earned our $60.
Glad it's over anyway.
And since it's over, we can talk about it but honestly it's not very exciting. I did give J a little information about it, as I thought he might find it slightly interesting.
Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and feed the cats in a bit. I've had my breakfast.

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 43 on the porch. The third day of the four forecast days rain has not started yet. I was dressed lighter due to the 5 degree warmer temperature. Yesterdays Temperatures never really changed by much, they were a whole 2 degrees warmer by 4PM vs 4:30AM .

I suspect that if it was a bit tedious and I were on that jury I would have trouble keeping my mind from wandering.
The other problem I might have being on a jury is my tendency to see both sides in many cases where there is no clear decision, not to mention my becoming stubborn if I am pushed.
I would prefer a Check that can be deposited TBH vs a gift card.
Have a Nicer Day

Hi Valerie0 -
Howdy y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 61 out there with an expected high of 77 and no chance of precipitation.
I've eaten and the cats will be fed in a while. Need to clean out yesterday's cat bowls. Might need to get to the store today for a couple of things but nothing critical so maybe not.
Definitely hope for a nap. This is one of the rare Saturdays that we don't seem to have anything scheduled and no one is planning to come over to browse thrift shops or anything!
