Hey Ed!
Be ever so thankful that you got everything done yesterday! I made an early gym run, and a stop at Publix, home and ate a little lunch, and got ready to go to Nate's OaCrosse game (first game this season). Got a text from Jack saying it was way hot and maybe I'd rather stay home....well heck no! My grandson was playing stick and basket, and I wanted to be there. Soooo, I went. Lasted for the first half of the game. IT REALLY WAS HOT!
Home now, got Tom E. into the house, and I've eaten a couple chunks of nice icy cold watermelon. Much better!!
COuple of these video's to watch...but that will be after my nap!

Howdy. It's marvelous Monday! A REALLY hot one here with, again, no chance of precipitation. I might get out quickly this morning for a couple of items. Other than that, just trying to be cool, something I never quite managed, socially.

Good Morning Ed!
Heading out for the gym very shortly...like soon after I hit 'Post reply' ! Its really nice this morning...I've done about half the watering, and played with Tom, who took advantage of me last night, and was hiding in the house. I looked, called, no response and i went to bed thinking I'd put him out. Morning surprise! Hmmmm. Sneaky Cat!
Will look about laundry today..run the sweeper, steam some veggies for today and tomorrow for some easy lunches and dinners. And that is about all of that!

Howdy. It's terrific Tuesday! The forecast calls for (maybe) three degrees cooler today, which still leaves us pretty hot but I will happily take the three degrees and hope for more soon. I might get out today, if the vet gets Lilo's next scrip of Adequan ready.

Hi Ed!
Here! Busy day.
Nice chat with oldest son, Jack.
Tom E. Lordy, what did I ever do to end up with this cat? I let him stay in the past couple days, and he found a spot in the front room that he claimed as 'his'. He willingly went out this morning after I fed him, but when I got home from gym and WM, he was waiting for me! He managed to get into my bedroom (off limits) and hid in a pretty obscure corner, and he's pretty much been there all day! He did come out for his dinner, then disappeared again into the closet....wondering what tonite will bring? WIll he come out? Will there be a big fight? etc. LOL!
Grandpa just really outdid himself with the lamb guts. Wonder how many lambs were slaughtered??
Going to watch Emmy in a minute. Look on her face is 'interesting'!
Did you get any rain this evening? I was talking with Jack and he drove into the rain. Lots of lightening and very loud thunder at my house, but not a drop of rain. Hope you at least got some rain!

We got just a sprinkle.0

Howdy. It's wonderful Wednesday! Another hot, dry one here. Some indoor plant watering today, and not a lot else on the agenda.

Good Morning Ed,
Stuff...I set Tom E's breakfast on the porch and I took my coffee onto the swing. Tom would not even come out to eat!! I think he's 'indoor' kitty for the duration. He's disappeared again. I have to assume that he's in my bedroom walk in closet again....if that's where he's happy, then OK I guess. He spent the night there. I was afraid I'd wake up during the night with a kitty head (or worse, a butt) on my pillow, but I don't think he ever got on my bed. Which is GOOD!
Had an almost unsurmountable number of emails...have culled it to 40...if I can get that down to 10 I'll be happy.
I did spend 12 minutes on my bike this morning...trying the 'spread exercise out' to see if that helps get me off this many yeared (?) plateau!
So, I will hit the gym this afternoon and then pop in next door and buy my banana's. The 4 banana bunch I just finished was terrible. The were small, tasteless, etc...got them at Publix/organic for a high ransome price. Will not make that mistake again or at least not anytime soon!
I didn't even get a sprinkle yesterday. I think both my boys got at least a good sprinkle. I have seen this pattern before...like 7 ish years ago when we had the totally awful drought. I usually just complain that I'm living on the wrong side of Interstate 85!
Hope you have a good day....make something 'spectacular' for dinner, maybe I'll get inspired? I'm still using up the stash of 'convience foods that I bought this summer. Not complaining mind you...
Oh, do you use much tofu as you're cooking for J and or yourself? I ask because that last Costco run I picked up another carton of Sprouted Tofu..its really good...and the 4 individual packages are 18 ounces instead of the 14oz packages I find at Kroger/Publix/AND Whole Foods. All that and its only $1.47 a package...considerably cheaper than I find anyplace else. Would invite you to come to my Costco, I can get you in as a guest, and I'll use my card, at checkout...and you can repay me, or if you're not interested in coming to Costco I could be a nice person and buy a carton for you and we can do a Costco exchange behind Trader Joe's back!!! LOL!!!
Ok, time I get something done around here. Cat's still MIA...meaning I can walk around my house without tripping over a fur ball!

Howdy. It's thrilling Thursday! Not too thrilling, actually, but it is what it is. About the same as yesterday except I do need to get out in it.

Best advice....GO QUICK! LOL! For now its quite agreeable out there. But by noon-ish it will be HOT!
It was so nice this morning, that I cleaned and vacuumed the screened porch, held Tom E. for a brief few minutes. He decided he'd rather be indoors than getting his fur combed. (imagine that).
My day looks a lot like yesterday, except I'll trade Whole Foods for yesterday's Walmart! Looked at their sales, and they have 2-3 things I want! (Like their Mock Chicken Salad, @ 25% off today only), I love that stuff, and there was a time it was affordable...and then they got greedy and the price went up and up...so I bought none!
Gym time of course....and a nap? Fingers crossed. And rounding out the day its trash to the curb day..so there's that to deal with.
Hope your day goes well!

Got out, got to the doctor, numbers looked good. Got shot while there. Flu started early supposedly, so I didn't wait until mid-October as usual.
Got home and had lunch. I think I may hear a nap calling!

Howdy. It's fantastic Friday! Looking at another hot one, with 20% chance of precipitation. I need to get out for a couple of things.

Howdy. It's satisfying Saturday! Pool party this afternoon, so the baked beans for 50 are in the oven. 30% chance of scattered thunder showers but a high temp of only 88 so it should be a great day for it!

Hi Ed.
Hope the pool party was fun. No rain, and not tooo hot! Not like the week days had been!
Grandpa made a bit of pasta! Good heavens!
I've had a busy, unbusy day! Mostly unbusy catching up with some pod casts and video summits, and still a bunch for tomorrow!
Finished up the last of my 'hot bar haul' from Thursdays trip to Whole Foods. Since Nate's LaCrosse game is tomorrow afternoon, close to Whole Foods, I may just drop in to see if they have any more entrees that I just 'have' to bring home!
Other than that, not much on my list! Yay!!! Oh, gym! I didn't go today. But I got my exercise stuff done at home. I understand that we're getting new 'furniture' at the gym..Mostly new treadmills, and I think a couple new bikes. They'll cordon off a section of the cardio theater and take out the old, and assemble the new stuff in that area. Its an intersting, and often loud process to watch!

Howdy. It's sumptuous Sunday! A bit hotter today, but at least it stayed nice for the pool party. Here is what the baked bean dish looked like at the end of the party:
I am moving a bit slow this morning and am pretty sure I want a nap today.

Hi Ed!
Looks like once again your baked beans were a hit!!, per usual!!!
On Food 52 website this morning, I watched them make a marinade for shrimp with a half cup of srichacha among other spices and stuff. And you KNOW who I thought of!.... If It comes up when I go back, I'll try to find a recipe. I did try to copy the video, or find a link, etc. No luck there.
I'm off to the gym, then on to LAX, and maybe a stop at Whole Foods. (lazy me). But we'll see how I feel after sitting in the sun for an hour!

Howdy. It's marvelous Monday! Back to hot as anything today, but we might get some relief on that again by mid-week. I MIGHT get out in it today, but probably not. So just the usual. Look to see if there are any more cords Orion chewed up. We found one last night that, fortunately, had NOT been plugged in, that he gad thoroughly chewed, almost all the way through. He would have had a shock if it had been plugged in. We think he did that while he was still teething, last year, and hope we won't find any more. As it was about an 8 inch section that was very thoroughly chewed, we hope that this wire was his only one. We can splice the wire and it will end up about 10 inches shorter than it was.
Also, check a couple of outside plants to see if they need water, scoop the litter boxes (daily chore there), feed the cats, sweep up some ever present cat hair, something that has become more apparent since adopting Orion last year. Our first cat, many years ago, was a long haired orange tabby. Then, for about 10 years, only short to medium hair cats (luck of the draw) and now this long haired black cat. I swear we could knit another cat from just a couple of week's worth of fur brushed off and/or lost by him!
Of course we adopt cats based on mutual attraction and a couple of other factors, but color, looks, and fur length are not factors at all. Orion is the tenth cat to be adopted into this family and we are happy to have him. I have loved them all and cried like a baby when we had to let them cross the rainbow bridge. The current four are all well loved and we give them the best care possible.
