Vix enjoy your weekend with your MIL.
Hi Irene
That is a new one to me, a pool needs inspection before using it? I could see that the town would want to inspect the New wiring, that is normal.
I'm guessing that the Tornado and High Winds missed Your location, Were You one of the people involved with a power outage in South Jersey?
Cheers

We got our phone fixed this morning. We needed a new outside connection.
Now we just need to work on getting Sophie better.
Roger-It rained heavily for a few hours this morning and it is extremely humid. I am glad I have AC in the house. Right now the sun is shinning and everything is drying up.
Irene-the water heater is all set, we had to get a new one. Hopefully we will be all set for the next 7-10 years.
Have a great weekend.
Hi Joanne
Here is a tip to get a longer life from a water heater that I got from a Plumber that was also a Computer store customer of mine. Change the sacrificial rod in the water heater regularly. It is there to be eaten up instead of the lining of the water heater which is what usually fails and leaks.
From here:
https://www.familyhandyman.com/plumbing/water-heater/extend-the-life-of-your-water-heater-by-replacing-the-anode-rod/view-all
Extend the Life of Your Water Heater by Replacing the Anode Rod ...
When the rod itself becomes so corroded that it can no longer do its job, the tank soon rusts out, leaks and needs replacement. However, if you replace your anode rod before it fails, about every five years, you can double the life of your water heater. Rods are made from magnesium, aluminum or aluminum/zinc alloy.
Good Luck

good morning, Roger it is the wiring and all to make sure it is done right. Well today George and I are celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. We don't really have any plans just going to enjoy the day. Roger we did loose our power yesterday we just went back to Trenton went to church and came back later and it was back on. We do have an generator so if it was off to long we could start that.0

Humor Again
Hi
I have not walked today, I will be walking later on when I walk to the doctors and then go look at the fruit in two different locations. I figure that will give me my exercise for the day, just later than usual
The temperature this morning was 66 on the news channel and 63 degrees on the front porch with a decent humidity level still.
Whoopee, I have been holding the same weight for 5 days now This is good as I am within the range I want to be for weight.
I have started cooking some Hamburger meat to a well done level as a PF for later on, the rest of the Family Pack of it is in the refrigerator freezer section.
The Laundry is washing and hopefully will be dried and folded before I leave around 9:15 AM.
Have a Great Monday

Good morning;
Happy Anniversary Irene and George.
Roger-good luck at the Dr. this morning.
I have been busy this morning. I cleaned 2 bird baths, the cat box and pulled some weed.
I have to take Sophie for her blood test this morning. I noticed that she has a lot more lumps.
She is eating fine and running around.
My daughter and I went to beach yesterday and walked 5 miles. It is so peaceful there early in the morning.
I filled my bike tires with air, so now I have no excuses, not to ride it.
Have a great day! 0 -

Hi Irene
I would love to have a small generator, however the only type my brother would consider is the ones that sit out back on a concrete pad and get their fuel from the gas line and that would mean major Electrical work including a new Breaker box and a near complete rewire.
Good news that it came back OK
Have a Nice Day

Hello.
We hit terrible traffic both ways this weekend. Instead of the usual 5.5 hours it was 7 each way. MIL is very tired, and she's starting to get forgetful/confused. I'm glad we all went to see her. She's still doing pretty well. I'm glad my SIL is living with her.
Went to deep water aerobics this morning. It's a good workout.0 -

Roger, hope all went well at the Doctor's.

Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Case with Religious Freedom Implications,
The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 Monday in favor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Trinity Lutheran v. Comer, a case with national religious freedom implications that involved a denied grant application for playground resurfacing.
The case began in 2012 when Trinity Lutheran Church applied for a Missouri Department of Natural Resources state grant meant to help public and private schools, nonprofit daycare centers, and other nonprofit entities buy rubber playground surfaces made from recycled tires.
The grant application was denied because the Department had a provision in place that "no money shall ever be taken from the treasury, directly or indirectly, in aid of any church, sect, or denomination of religion." The Supreme Court ruled today that this state policy violates the rights of Trinity Lutheran under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.
Chief Justice Roberts explains in his opinion that “the Free Exercise Clause ‘protects' religious observers against unequal treatment’ and subjects to the strictest scrutiny laws that target the religious for ‘special disabilities” based on their ‘religious status.’”
“Applying that basic principle,” he writes, “this Court has repeatedly confirmed that denying a generally available benefit solely on account of religious identity imposes a penalty on the free exercise of religion that can be justified only by a state interest ‘of the highest order.’”
Roberts acknowledges that the consequence of the state’s decision is “in all likelihood, a few extra scraped knees,” but concludes “the exclusion of Trinity Lutheran from a public benefit for which it is otherwise qualified, solely because it is a church, is odious to our Constitution all the same, and cannot stand.”
Hmm...
On Minimum Wage, Basic Economics Again Rudely Intrudes on Liberal Dreams Jun 26, 2017 2:25 PM
Seattle's $15-an-hour minimum wage law has cost the city jobs, according to a study released Monday that contradicted another new study published last week. A University of Washington team studying the law's effects found that the law has boosted pay in low-wage jobs since it took effect in 2015, but that it also caused a 9 percent reduction in hours worked, The Seattle Times reported. For an average low-wage Seattle worker, that's a loss of about $125 per month, the study said. "If you're a low-skilled worker with one of those jobs, $125 a month is a sizable amount of money," said Mark Long, one of the authors. "It can be the difference between being able to pay your rent and not being able to pay your rent." There would be about 5,000 more low-wage jobs in the city without the law, the study estimated...in the years covered by the study, 2015 and 2016, the minimum wage was at most $13, depending on business size, worker benefits and tips.
In other words, even before the full $15-per-hour mandate was phased in, thousands of jobs were killed, and low-wage workers' hours were significantly reduced -- taking money out of their pockets. Behold, the (ahem) wages of "fairness." A rival study conducted by a progressive, pro-union organization was commissioned by the Seattle Mayor's office (after preliminary data from UW's respected, nonpartisan team of economists appeared politically unhelpful to the city's policy), predictably declaring the move a big success. Unsurprisingly, it is being criticized as bought-and-paid-for propaganda. Its liberal authors are counter-attacking by alleging that the more credible study by mainstream economists is methodologically flawed, drawing this strong rebuke: "When we perform the exact same analysis as the Berkeley team, we match their results, which is inconsistent with the notion that our methods create bias," one UW professor noted. It turns out that when you raise the cost of creating new jobs and sustaining existing ones, fewer jobs are created, and employers find ways to stay in business. Hardest hit are low-skilled, would-be workers looking to get a foot in the door -- as well as low-income workers whose hours were slashed after the government artificially mandated a spike in their hourly pay. Based on the data, the harm outweighed the benefits:

Hi Irene
The Doctor's visit went OK if You exclude having to be stuck twice to draw the blood for testing.
Sunday went OK If You exclude the Chinese Takeout that would have been OK if I had not picked up the side of Chicken Wings to go along with the small order of Bone in Spare Ribs, Oops

Hi Vix
I used to hate Stop and Go traffic with a passion when I drove a truck for a living. Imagine rowing Your way through stop and go with a 10 or 13 speed manual transmission. The Left leg gets a workout using the clutch.
As I remember it from the weather forecast today should be a nice day. Currently at 8:40AM it is 70 degrees showing on the shaded thermometer in the back yard. So nice not needing to run the AC before I even left to go walking. The living Room is up to 72 degrees
Have a Nice Day

hi all, well we passed the 1 st inspection now on Friday we have a building inspection I think it is to look at the ladder and make sure it is safe it actually has a lock on it so no kids can get in it so wish me luck. Today I was trying to cover the trench they made for all the pipes my poor yard needs some work now so I will be placing more grass seed down. Vix thank you for anniversary wishes0

Good afternoon;
Irene-congrats on passing the lst inspection. I am sure you will have no trouble passing the next one.
Roger-Interesting studies. I found l cent today. It has been a long time since I found any money.
Vix-Stop and go traffic is awful. It was nice that you didn't have to drive.
I am enjoying this cooler weather. I can work around the yard without being drenched in sweat.
We have a lot of caterpillars, so hubby wrapped duct tape around the trees in the back yard.
We check yesterday and there were a lot of the stuck to the tape and a lot below where we put the tape. So I would say that the tape is working.
Enjoy the day.

Democratic Voter Fraud: Liberal Student Sentenced For Registering Dead People To Vote
Posted: Jun 27, 2017 11:00 AM
A James Madison University student and Virginia native is facing at least 100 days in prison after a Virginia district court found him guilty of submitting 18 fabricated voter registration forms.
Andrew Spieles is an employee of Harrisonburg Votes, an organization affiliated with the Democratic Party. Starting in 2016, his job was to register as many voters in Virginia as possible, and track their information, CNSNews reports:
“...After filling out a registration form for a voter, Spieles entered the information into a computer system used by the Virginia Democratic Party to track information such as name, age, address and political affiliation...Every Thursday an employee/volunteer hand-delivered the paper copies of the registration forms to the Registrar’s Office in Harrisonburg.”
The Registrar’s office caught on to Spieles’s scheme when they noticed that many of the names on voter registration forms belonged to deceased community members. The office also noticed inaccurate names, social security numbers and birth dates on registration forms. It became abundantly clear that these forms were not new voter registration.
. He confessed to stealing information from the Virginia Democratic Party’s “walk sheets,” taking names, addresses and ages at random from the data. He also disclosed that he forged fake social security numbers.
Hmm...
Have a Great Thursday

Did they also require the yard to be fenced in?

Congrats on the penny
I have been loving the cooler weather and the lower humidity, however later today they both start to rise and tomorrow is forecast to be humid
Strangely I have not noticed the caterpillars this year, they were heavy last year, I had to keep spraying the Apple Trees as they seemed to love those leaves.
I had not thought about tape, sticky side out

I've been working on watercolor skies lately. I've done a couple of cats jumping at a bat at sunset (pink and yellow sky), a seascape with pink and blue sky, and just finished some cranes flying at dawn or dusk (golden sky). Cats and bats is going to be the theme of one of the local county fairs in August, so I'm going to enter that one.

CNN's Van Jones: Russian Collusion Story Is A 'Big Nothing Burger'
On Tuesday, James O’ Keefe’s Project Veritas released a video showing CNN producer John Bonifield admitting that the whole Russian collusion story is “mostly bulls**t,” and that the network pushes it for ratings. Since the inauguration, Russia has been mentioned in CNN’s coverage of the Trump White House 15,694 times. There is zero evidence that there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence operatives during the 2016 election. None. Every update has yielded nothing further other than we have no evidence of collusion or wrongdoing. Now, you have CNN’s Van Jones telling a Project Veritas reporter that the Russia story is a “nothing burger.”
PV Reporter: What do you think is going to happen this week with the whole Russia thing?
Van Jones: The Russia thing is just a big nothing burger
PV Reporter: Really?
Jones: Yeah.
PV Reporter: You don’t think that…
Jones: There’s nothing there you can do.
Since Hillary Clinton’s upset loss to Donald Trump, the Democratic Party has used Russia as a crutch to avoid an extensive introspective autopsy on why they lost. The mindset seems to be: it’s not possible that our ideas suck, it’s just that the rest of the country is wrong—also, Russia. Democrats have wasted so much time on this story that they haven’t crafted an economic message, which they lacked in 2016, and that’s impacted their party in the special elections held this year. Not a single Democrat has won. With the recent defeat of Jon Ossoff in GA-06, they’re 0-4. It’s come to the point where some Democrats are realizing that they’re becoming distracted with the Russia probe. Voters simply don’t care—and that’s becoming explicitly clear to the slate of Democrats running in the midterms next year. A new Harvard-Harris poll notes that 64 percent feel that the Russia investigation is hurting the country, with 56 percent saying it’s time for Congress to move on to more important issues.
Hmm...

It makes perfect sense to me. Clear as can be
It was already warmer and more humid this morning and that was a 6AM
My plans for the 4th of July are simple, Take the day off from walking and have some of the Home Made Potato Salad my brother plans to make and a couple of the Nathans Hot Dogs from the Grill in a 60 calorie Honey Wheat wrap.
Today I am considering pushing AKA Hinting to my Brother that some of his Home made Baked beans from Scratch would be tasty
Wish Me Luck
