Hi
I'm back from walking and 1 cents. The temperature this morning was 30 degrees. While I was sitting in the living room eating my Pre Walk snack motion outside the window caught my eye. I thought it was one of the Dog walkers I usually see at that time of morning, When I looked out I saw two Deer walking down the street. Later while I was at the Midpoint of my Walk I saw two More Deer walking through a yard. Yesterday I heard an Owl Hooting and a close by Woodpecker, No matter how hard I looked I could not see either one of them.
FWIW I filled the Gas Tank in the car on the 4th, it cost $24 and it was the first fill up this year, the last fill was on December 17th. Did I mention I do not do much driving as I can walk to many places I need to go and my Brother does not mind picking up things at the ShopRite for me.

After loading the back of the car with stuff for Goodwill, and filling my trash bin, he drove his car to VeGreen and we had great dinners. All in all, a productive day, and lots of stuff for me to sift thru, much of it will get shredded because of personal stuff like SS number, etc. Should keep me in 'chore' for several weeks. Also means I dare not make a lot of trash, as the can is FULL....
Also he re-assembled the shelving unit that I had partially dis-assembled, and now I'll have a place for the 'pantry overflow' that will be more organized.
Tom has been rocked, petted, patted, and talked to, he napped in my lap...and he has eaten. I've eaten and am about to start my bed time quite early..
Roger the article about the work out idiots and the IV drips, cryo freezes, etc...makes me believe people in general, and the Left Coast in particular are really, really weird!
Later...
Hi Valerie
That would be the same reason my Brother & I shred things, We even shred things that have our name and address such as Shipping Labels. Then the shreds are bagged and put out with the recycle items. I will say that the newer shredder I bought is a monster. It chews through papers and DVDs real quick too. I do Shred them separately as I keep forgetting to check with the County Recycle people as our recycle is done by the county rather than the town, Our town does run a recycle center OTOH and the recyclables go to the county.
I have known that Southern California is full of weirdos

Ok, now I will sleep! G' nite!
I have not looked at the video links yet, However I do wonder if it what they used to call a swamp cooler ? Those work best in a dry climate such as exists in Las Vegas.
Have a Nice Day

Need to clear the sink and run the dishwasher. Then maybe some light housework and possibly a trip to Aldi or Ingles. Or both.
And the cats need to be fed.
Since I am the Dishwasher.... Not to mention that where would we put it, Our 50s kitchen is not that large
Thank You for the Video links, they look interesting.

Dinner last night. Yellow eyed peas with plenty of ham from that meaty ham bone.
And yes, breakfast this morning too. Probably lunch as well. And maybe dinner again. And more tomorrow even! I cooked a whole pound of beans, so there is plenty. If I get tired of it, I can take a break to eat something else and then come back to it.

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
45 out there now with an expected high of 60 and 50% chance of precipitation, presumably in the form of morning drizzle.
Need to clean yesterday's cat bowls and give the cats their breakfast. Then ponder running the dishwasher, as the big crock from the crock pot is in there taking up a lot of room.

Hi
I'm back from walking and no cents. The temperature this morning was 38 degrees. I shortened my walk today, I had thought that unheated Gloves would be adequate, Sadly I could feel my fingers getting too cold thus I short circuited my walk
An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates.
St. Peter checks his dossier and says, “Ah, you’re an engineer — you’re in the wrong place.” So, the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in.
Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they’ve got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day, God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, “So, how’s it going down there in hell?” Satan replies, “Hey, things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there’s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.”
God replies, “What??? You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake — he should never have gotten down there; send him up here.” Satan says, “No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I’m keeping him.”
God says, “Send him back up here or I’ll sue.”
Satan laughs uproariously and answers, “Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?!”

That is one of the uses for our Vacuum Sealer, We can seal and freeze Soups & stews as well as Meats.
I love Beans of all kinds cooked with Ham for taste.
Overnight there was a light rain and on the way out I was getting hit with a few stray drops that stopped around the time I stopped for coffee and it is now drying off outside.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday!

Hi Valerie0 -
Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 49 out there now with an expected high of 68 and 0% chance of precipitation.
Need to clean yesterday's cat bowls and get the cats fed. And it sounds like a great day to go shopping so I might.
Definitely going to get some much needed housework done and try to take a nap this afternoon.

Well, so far Eddie got the kitchen floor swept and mopped. That was a chore and a half, with what the cats sometimes do to the kitchen floor. Don't ask.
On cool down mode now, sitting in front of a fan. LOL. And waiting for the kitchen floor to dry so I can put everything back down on the floor that need to be put back down.
More floors to sweep, of course. And bathrooms to clean. And vacuuming in the master bedroom and part of the master bath where there's carpet. This might not all get done today. Who am I kidding? This PROBABLY won't all get done today. But some more of it will. Just not sure how much. Definitely going to see that all the hardwood floors are swept.

All hardwood floors except the zen penguin room swept. The young cats wanted to play with the piles of sweepings but were diverted by several toys tossed into the kitchen. Need to spot mop the hardwood floors but will get to that. Oh, and the hall bathroom (tile) has been swept, but not, as yet, mopped. I think Eddie may be finished for today, though he may get started on knitting another cat from all the cat fur dust bunnies that were swept up.

And...hard wood floors mopped where needed. The vacuum in the carpeted areas, and the cleaning of the bathrooms will be another day. Not today.
Just finished off the beans and ham for dinner. There wasn't any cornbread left but I made a piece of 4 cheese sourdough toast to go with it. It was tasty.
And sipping the rest of the wine now.
