There is a chance of spotty rain showers in the area and a forecast high of 86 to 87 depending on the weatherman.
Back to Krogers or ?
As I may have mentioned previously our every two weeks recycle pickup is on a different day than the Garbage pickup as well as being a different day from the Yard waste pickup. I do not know if it is the same where You are but all the recycle can co-mingled and is dumped into the same place in the garbage truck on pickup day. From there I believe it goes to a sorting facility.
I need to call NS and ask them to suspend the account for two or three months since I will have a 5 to 10 pound weight lifting restriction. That may be a problem since I already delayed it to July for the same reason and if they say no then I have no choice but to cancel and ask how long before I can take advantage of new customer offers.He's making them vegan but I'm sure similar REAL burgers could be done.

Intown visit with chiro, lunch with Ted, then we decided since the temps were low, and the humidity even lower to go to the Botanical Gardens...I was about 10 minutes from home when Jack called...(its Tues). So, talked to him til 5:30...fixed some dinner as I was really hungry...now I"ve eaten, want to watch the news and then hit the gym. Quick work out..30-35 minutes cardio..then I should run by Publix pick up a lottery ticket and then home! I'll sleep well tonite..already tired.
Roger, besides not being able to walk, (which must be tough for you considering all the steps you've put in over the last several years), how are you feeling? And do you have a date for surgery? I'm so glad you have your brother to help you thru all of this.
I'm sure Tom E. is lonely...I'm just not a cat, a point he drives home on occasion. Like ignoring me, or hopping up and leaving the porch, etc. I dunno!!!
Gotta get moving...need to get into my gym clothes for starts.
Later...
Wow, You had good weather for a change
I hope the lottery ticket wins for You.
I do have a date for the surgery, First thing is Pre admission testing next week. More details tomorrow once I have had a chance to think about details. Not to mention I have no idea if the testing could be a problem.
I miss not getting out as You guessed.
I am feeling somewhat weak as in no endurance.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Yesterday I went to the pet store for kitty litter, then Publix (in the same shopping center, but part of the other building, around a corner) for a few items, and a quick stop at Aldi on the way home. I never got more than a mile from home! I had a lot fewer items, but the weight of the kitty litter more than made up the difference on bringing things in. I also didn't spend nearly as much, but still more, in my opinion, than the stuff should have cost. I picked up lunch while in Publix.
Today is supposed to be fairly nice, albeit a bit warm. I need to do some more watering, and really should try to get a head start on some cleaning, and maybe some laundry, On the other hand, as Scarlett supposedly said, tomorrow is another day!

Hi
Currently It is 71 degrees outside. The predicted high for today is for the 80s
I have Pre admission testing on the 11th and surgery is scheduled for the 21st. What seems strange to me is that I will be called on the 20th and given a time and location for the surgery.

You had a busy day IMO. I do have to wonder if the Kitty Litter would have been cheaper at CostCo. Speaking of CostCo I was checking the Paper Goods supply and we have plenty of Paper Towels and Kleenex and only one 6 roll pack of TP left. To me that means a early before they open trip to pick up up a case of TP there.
Today's To Do list, Call NS and see about a extra 2 or 3 month delay, resign as moderator or see about Emeritus status at a forum and drop off the keys while they are open and the car later on at the Car repair facility we use. The car is due for its every 2 year inspection, an oil change based on time not mileage, Lube the driver door hinges, Fix the Drivers side window switch (Change ?) and repair the speed control on the fan, the lower three speeds have died

Hello Valerie0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Cooler today and we have already had a few drops of rain, with more expected. But maybe I should go out to a store and give Mother Nature a chance to soak me, just to be sure.
I made bolognese pasta sauce last night and served it with rotini made entirely from red lentils. That was supper, and then breakfast this morning was more of the same, as will be at least two more meals. With that sauce, I really couldn't tell that the rotini was different than regular wheat pasta. It was fun trying it out and I may buy more sometime. It has more protein than wheat pasta and, being lentils, presumably better carbs.

Hi! I'm here!
I should have taken notes...lots of stuff there to open discussion!
The call night before surgery to learn Time and Where is indeed odd Roger. Never heard of that. But I guess you have many more hospitals/OR's than many of the places I've lived. Still, just odd.
Ostrich huh? Probably not any better or worse than what we have now, right? I was happy to see some articles lately about chicken not any better than beef health wise. Wasn't always that way. Wonder how it compares to rare duck breast?? That is/er, was sooo good!!!
I didn't watch Emmy...can't wait to see what those cookies? bars? are!
Ed, I tried...after gym, about noon, I came home and ate my lunch so I wouldn't buy EVERYTHING at Kroger. And I stayed dry. Didn't get the 3-5 a.m. rain, not the later morning rain, and none of the afternoon rain either! I've even washed the car.... I think my 'rain maker' powers are waning! It was nice as far as temps went. I think tomorrow may be a yard morning. (we'll see if that tempts old Mother Nature!) ???
Hockey game to watch in half an hour. (I failed miserably, and forgot to watch the game Monday...must be getting old).
While at Kroger I picked up a package of vegetable sushi. Saving that for while I watch the game tonite. My Kroger has some really good sushi...Publix on the other hand is a total FAIL. Has some weird taste..like its not even close to fresh. Fortunately no sea food, or such involved..just carrot, cucumber, avocado, etc. I really like it...and it makes a decent dinner or lunch for just under $6.
That gif of the 'bubble' people running around and colliding and falling...always looked like safe fun...but I've read otherwise. Still....
The whisking...I always 'did' a combo depending on what I was whisking...but I have noticed that Ted does the back and forth motion (like the one what 'won'). Guess he picked that up from his years of working in restaurant kitchens. I know he learned to make some great pies, and killer chocolate chip cookies!!! I had to ask him to please stop making them every time I was coming to his apartment. They smelled sooo good. Not much is better than coming out of the oven chocolate chip cookies!!! And Ted can't smell. Sad!
Ok, game time is approaching...
Later...0 -

Hi
Currently It is 66 degrees outside. The predicted high for today is for the 80s
Yesterday I had a phone call from the surgery scheduling person that due to schedule changes by the surgeon that my surgery was being moved from the 21st to the 14th. Since I still do not know what time I may or not be posting next Friday. I will ask my brother to use the email list to update You with the results once he has them.

We had a really short rain yesterday, however due to the previous days rain no watering will be needed until Saturday or Sunday and then more rain at some point Monday and/or Tuesday.

I didn't watch Emmy...can't wait to see what those cookies? bars? are!
The only rationale I can come up with is that they have bought so many other hospitals and expanded all over the area. The place where I need to go for preadmission testing covers a city block including the parking garage. And I agree it seems odd.Ed, I tried...after gym, about noon, I came home and ate my lunch so I wouldn't buy EVERYTHING at Kroger. And I stayed dry.

It worked for my brother, Car washed Wednesday and Thursday road spray from the rain restoring the grime

Good Morning! Rainy...don't know how much. I've evidently changed the settings on my outside rain monitor, and I've 'had no rain'...but, the big puddle in the driveway, and a semi wet cat disproved that idea!! I don't know where Tom E. hid out from the rain, but his back quarters were wet...meaning 3/4ths of the cat was dry! He was hungry!! Also sat with me on the porch swing for about 5 minutes, purring sweetly. and keeping his claws retracted. (that's a near first, and very appreciated)
I doubt the issue with Publix is old seafood, as my sushi is meat free!
I need to duck out and retreive the trash thingy...you remember my old friend..."Herbie Curbie" ??? LOL! Its not raining and the driveway lake is down just enough that I can walk around it! Ok, done.✓
I did watch the French Toast...the vegan one did look interesting, and was well liked apparently! Not likely to make it..though I should, just for grins.
And the cartoon of the keys to the lock, being locked onto the lock...I've actually seen that happen when I worked at the gym.. solution? buy a new lock!
Thanks Roger for the schedule update. That's one week less time to worry/fret over the upcoming surgery.
Will watch for an email from 'brother'. (wonder if he'll include his name, or just sign it off as 'brother'? )
Ok, I need to make some use of my rainy day and go to the gym later this afternoon...like between noon news and about 2:30. (don't want to workout during my nap time!!!) Also Friday traffic around here is so messed up. Folks trying to get shopping or other issues done 'before the rush', and the leaving early, its Friday mentality, which therefore creates traffic issues! Kinda amusing if you think about it!

Hi
Currently It is 65 degrees outside. The predicted high for today is once again in the 80s
I called NS yesterday and the person I spoke to adjusted the order as follows. Processing On: 09/05/2019
I got the car back $402.60, Considering the List I had not that bad
1. State Inspection
2. Oil change and filter using Synthetic Oil.
3. Lubed the Door hinges, the noise was atrocious.
4. Replace failed fan speed resistor, I only had the top two noisy speeds left.
5. Replace the Driver side power window switch.
I should be hitting 17,000 miles on the car soon, I already filled the gas tank once this year I suspect that a lot of the repairs were due to really short trips with the car since it was new in 1999

Interesting, I hope You get the rain gauge working again. Can't the cat get on the porch to stay dry during rainy weather ?
I was not saying old seafood, I was trying to indicate that maybe the other ingredients were old ?

I have to wonder how the heck You could think that was a good idea locking the keys on the lock.
I have no idea how he will sign it, That never occurred to me to think about.
I always wondered how employers feel about the workers that leave early on a Friday. All that does is extend the rush traffic IMO.
