yet more Humor today
Hi
I walked 5800 Steps + a Quarter and 5 Pennies during the morning walk. The temperature this morning is 58 on the news channel and 58 degrees on the front porch. It is a cloudy looking morning and it rained very lightly overnight. The street was wet, under the trees was dry. Once again the plan for today is to get the rest of my walking and exercise doing more yard work. We did the run to the recycle yard. Last nights weather forecast showed a 60% chance of rain for Wednesday, Today, and 90% for Thursday and 60% for Friday.
Have a Great Wednesday

Hi VixGood morning. PT this morning, then off to play with clay.
The functional doc thinks I'm doing ok...it's going to be a long process. I'll go check out the humor. Thanks.
That sounds like really good news to me. I hope the PT is near a end
Enjoy playing with the clay

I am not surprised about the Dunkin Donuts being shot at.
My son lives about 1/2 mile from the Manchester arena. They heard the explosion.
Hubby didn't find much metal detecting. In the past he has found as much as $10 in coin.
He usually goes to playgrounds early in the morning.
I also turned on my heat yesterday to take the chill out of the house.
Vix-good news from the functional Dr.
Have a good evening.
Hi Joanne
I hope the Violence does not spill over to Your area. Anymore it seems that the answer to being unhappy is a violent response
On the good side Your son is OK, I see ISIS took responsibility for killing children. Not real surprising as they are complete barbarians.
I turned the heat on last night for an hour around 3AM to warm up the bedroom, oh well.
Have a Nice Day

Good evening;
The sun came out for a little while today, but for the most part it was cloudy.

More Humor and a post with links to Fails and more from elsewhere
Hi
I walked 5300 Steps during the morning walk. The temperature this morning is 57 on the news channel and 55 degrees on the front porch and has gone up one entire degree on the porch in the last two hours. It is a rainy looking morning and it started raining overnight.
I ended up with 11K+ for a step count with another run to the Home Depot and working in the yard added exercise to the day

Man traveling across the country mowing lawns for those in need makes a stop in Utah
LEHI — There is no lawn Rodney Smith Jr. won’t tackle. From the longest grass to the biggest weeds, the 27-year-old does it all.
The Alabama A&M University student is traveling from coast to coast this summer mowing lawns for those in need.
"What we do is, we do it for free. We don't charge nothing,” Smith said. “We cut grass free for the elderly, disabled, single parent mothers and veterans.”
In 2015, while attending school, Smith saw an elderly man struggling to mow his lawn and it sparked an idea. He started Raising Men Lawn Care, a service that encourages youth to give back to those who are struggling by mowing, raking lawns and shoveling snow from driveways.
"It lifts me up, you know. They're on a fixed income, they can only afford so much,” Smith said. “So for us to come by and help them out, they use those funds on things they really need."
Snipped, more info in the article
Smith started hitting southern states at the beginning of May. So far, Smith has mowed lawns in 12 states including Utah. With equipment donated by the manufacturing company Briggs & Stratton, he hopes to hit all 50 states by the end of June.
"Sometimes I can do two, three states in a day, depending on how close the states are,” Smith said.
His experience so far has been a rewarding one. Smith said he’ll never forget the people he met in the Lone Star State.
"I had one lady in Texas, she cried in my arms because her grass was so big and she needed it cut,” he said.
On Friday night, Smith mowed the lawn of an elderly couple in Lehi. His next stop is Oregon. Smith plans to end his journey in Hawaii in late June. Smith hopes this journey across America will encourage others to serve those in need.
What a Nice Thing to do

Hi Vix and Irene.

Hi Joanne
They seem to have overwintered, I had one that looked poorly last year and we have sent off pictures to Jung where they were bought. It still looks dead as do a couple of others, however they seem to have sent out runners and those are up and looking good so...
The Early ones that have already bloomed seem to have come through better that the later crop variety. The Blackberry went wild last year with growth and is a mass of blooms so I am hopeful for a large crop
If I said my brother is running late this year planting vegetables and so far has only planted two types of Onion sets. We got a late start redoing the garden with a different layout in raised beds
Oh well, I believe there will be the usual suspects, Several types of Tomatoes, Green and Hot Peppers, Eggplant at a minimum.
We had a real light rain yesterday and then the day was mostly cloudy.0 -

Hi
I walked 6100+ Steps during the morning walk. The temperature this morning is 55 on the news channel and 59 degrees on the front porch. I cut the walk short as we will be doing more work in the garden later today. It rained overnight and Thundered twice with heavy rain and thunder a few minutes before midnight, thus I had broken sleep and am somewhat tired.

If I said I wish I was optimistic about peace, sadly I think we will see bombings into the future. I suspect that even when there is no ISIS the idea will be out there and incited from other countries.
Oh well, Have a Good Day

Hi Joanne
Is it the squirrels? I would have thought it to be Deer.
I believe that all except maybe one of the berry plants survived the winter. My brother also used the bend them over and cover method on the Fig Trees and they are doing good too. At this point in time it looks like a bumper crop off of the Blackberry plant. I only planted one, however it is the one that did the best
If I remember to do so, I'll take the camera out back and take a picture of it and post it tomorrow, If I remember
My Brother is muttering about a rack of ribs and dry rub, I am thinking that since Hamburger meat is on sale I will have him pick it up when he goes for the Ribs and I'll Grill a couple of those Saturday or Sunday or maybe I'll do more than two as I suspect they will microwave nicely for Monday too.
I'm sorry You are working both of those days, Yuck
Cheers

good morning , we sure had a lot of rain yesterday. Last night we had a lot of thunderstorms so I stayed up with Annie she hates all the bang noises. She finally fell a sleep after 12 .We really don't have any plans just relaxing. I will be going food shopping either today or tomorrow. Vix your painting is really nice. Jo I am sorry you have to work this holiday but I remember working all those holidays actually if I was back to work I would be working it also. hey Roger.0

Thanks all for your kind words about my painting. It was interesting to attempt a large painting like that. Hope you're feeling better Irene. Jo, sorry you have to work on the holiday. Roger, grilling is always fun, especially on holidays.
We're going to a wedding tomorrow night, and my son might stop by on Sunday. No other plans. The wedding will be fun.

Good afternoon;
Vix-we are having the same weather. Tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to be nicer, but back to rain on Monday. Enjoy the wedding, they are always fun.
Irene-We had a few loud claps of thunder, that sounded like they were right out side my window, woke me out of a sound sleep.
Roger-I am guessing it is the squirrels. They seem to be the only creatures around. It is a raised bed, so I don't think the rabbits could get to it. As for deer, we live in a residential area and not any woods around, but you never know.
Irene-work won't be too bad. I am going in 5am-9am. I figure most people will probably be just getting up when I am going home. I will then have the rest of the day to do things. As of now I have no specific plans.
My daughter is coming over tomorrow to grill salmon. It is always nice when someone else cooks.

Hi
I walked 7100+ Steps during the morning walk. The temperature this morning is 57 on the news channel and 59 degrees on the front porch.
On my return from the walk I drove out to get a haircut and then on to the Grocery Store, The ShopRite has 80% Hamburger on sale for $1.99 by using the Key Tag from them. Sadly that is a good price around here. I am comfortable using the 80% since I will be draining it first and then using it during the upcoming days. I also froze 1/2 of it
Now Some Humor
New CEO
Arcelor-Mittal Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business.
He asked the guy, "How much money do you make a week?”
A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, "I make $400 a week ... Why?”
The CEO said, "Wait right here.”
He walked back to his office, came back in two minutes, and handed the guy $1,600 in cash and said, "Here's four weeks' pay. Now GET OUT and don't come back."
Feeling pretty good about himself the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here?”
From across the room a voice said, "Pizza delivery guy from Donino's"
A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the bar and announces: ''I'm looking for the man who shot my paw.''
Did you hear about the 2 dyslexic theologians? They spent hours and hours arguing about the existence of Dog.

Arizona Man Arrested For Threatening Congresswoman Over Trump
Posted at 11:53 am on May 25, 2017 by Jenn JacquesAn Arizona man was arrested after authorities say he told a Congresswoman her ‘days were numbered’ after she voted to support President Trump.Have a Great Weekend
According to the FBI, a Tuscon school district employee threatened to shoot Representative Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) in three separate voice messages in May after he became enraged with her for supporting President Donald Trump.
Authorities tracked the caller’s phone number to Steve Martan, 58, who was later arrested for allegedly threatening to assault and murder a U.S. official, interfering with McSally’s duties and retaliating against her, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Tucson.
On May 2 and May 10, Martan is accused of calling McSally’s congressional office and leaving threatening, expletive-filled voice-mail messages.
“Yeah this is for Martha McSally,” Martan allegedly said in the first recording, before saying he wanted to wring the congresswoman’s neck. “You need to get back where you came from and leave Arizona,” he added.
According to the Daily Star Martan, who works as a campus monitor at the Miles Explanatory Learning Center in the Tucson Unified School District, was told not to come to campus while the district investigates the allegations against him.
“Our community should be deeply disturbed by these threats of violence,” District Director C.J. Karamargin said in a statement. “Threatening to shoot a member of Congress between the eyes and stating that her days are numbered is sickening. It is especially sickening here in southeastern Arizona because we know, perhaps better than any congressional district in the country, what happens when threats of violence become acts of violence.”

Hi Irene
We had a fair amount of rain, it was not real heavy during the day, just steady. I did hear heavier rain that night when the Thunder woke me up however.
When I drove I actually worked Holidays by choice, That got me regular 8 standard pay + 1 Hour OT pay Guaranteed and time and a half for hours worked. Generally traffic would be better too.
Planning to buy the on sale ShopRite Burger meat ? I like the 647 Bread at 40 calories a slice from there too. They had Italian, White and Wheat Bread in the store this morning.
Have a Nice Holiday

Hi Vix
So far plenty of sun today, I wore the Visor when walking to keep it out of my eyes.
I am not 100% sure about grilling this weekend however it is likely. My brother will be doing a Rack of ribs with a dry rub, I prefer my ribs with a good sauce
n honor of the Holiday Weekend I did buy a 2 slice package of This, The mille-feuille vanilla slice, custard slice, also known as the Napoleon that is 90 calories and nicely low in carbs too, which I had been developing a craving and when I saw that it would work really nicely as a NS Dessert the sale was made
From Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mille-feuille
Traditionally, a mille-feuille is made up of three layers of puff pastry (pâte feuilletée), alternating with two layers of pastry cream (crème pâtissière), but sometimes whipped cream or jam are substituted. The top pastry layer is dusted with confectioner's sugar, and sometimes cocoa, pastry crumbs, or pulverized seeds (e.g. roasted almonds). Alternatively the top is glazed with icing or fondant in alternating white (icing) and brown (chocolate) stripes, and combed.
BTW the picture is exactly what the ones I bought look like
Enjoy the Wedding.

Hi Joanne
A chance of rain Monday here too, Boo Hiss
Deer do a fair distance traveling to eat, The ones I see on my street are at least a mile from the woods along the Brook where they live.
I agree, someone elses cooking is always the best. The No Fuss with not much cleanup is why I Chose the NS plan originally as well as the online reviews I read.
Enjoy the Holiday

Driving Record of Fire Director Marred by 19 Accidents and 18 License Suspensions
NBC New York: Robert Rawls Involved in 19 Accidents, Most of Them Since 2002
Article | May 9, 2014 - 9:21pm | By Charlie Kratovil
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—On April 30, 2004, Robert Rawls allegedly injured two Rutgers University employees who were crossing in a crosswalk at the intersection of George and Liberty Streets.
One woman leaped out of the way and averted injury. Another had her pelvis broken in three places, while a third person sufferred full body contusions, according to a source.
That accident happened just over ten years before Rawls struck three children in a crosswalk located just twelve blocks away on Tuesday afternoon.
Over those ten years, Rawls was involved in another thirteen car accidents, not including the tragedy on Tuesday.
Now, Rawls finds himself and his driving record under increased scrutiny after two days of massive protests in response to the accident.
NBC New York's Brian Thompson reported earlier this evening that Rawls has been in nineteen accidents in 38 years of driving, according to the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission.

Currently the Sky is clear and the Sun is shining, however clouds are forecast to move in and Rain Monday morning and then again in the Evening. Hopefully the rain will be gone by Parade time Monday.
If I said it looked better than it tasted And I ate it anyway since I spent money for it. I'm sure My Brother & I are not the only ones that do that however.

Hi Joanne
Grilled Salmon does sound tasty too, I'm guessing it had some sort of seasoning ?
It was in the 70s here yesterday. at 6:30 in the the evening the living room was up to 77 degrees and the closed in porch was up to 74 degrees so I opened the front door onto it. I call it closed in despite that I have a west facing window opened. I open that once since the breezes usually come from that direction. It did cool down into the 50s overnight and this morning the living room was 72 degrees. FWIW I would have found that too cold and closed windows too.
Have a Nice Day
