    Good Evening;
    Roger-good luck spotting the owl. They blend into the scenery very well.
    The only animal I have spotted lately is a cat that keeps wondering into our yard to sit under the birdfeeders. I think he is hoping to catch a bird.
    Hi Irene and Vix.
    Wishing everyone a great weekend. :)

    Good morning....looks like another beautiful day.
    We have a robin that comes and says good morning every day...sits in a close by little tree and chirps at me while I say good morning. And there is a little green hummingbird that likes our flowers.
    Wishing everyone a wonderful Sunday. :)

    Hi All
    I Walked past the Supermarket and wore my $10 Backpack so I could do some light shopping, 10 Light & Fit Greek Yogurt, They had Strawberry Cheesecake flavor and Boston Creme Pie and Passion Fruit. 5 Bananas and a couple of Crystal Light and 2 cans of Coconut water @30 calories (Impulse Buy) :) Before I left I pulled the Frozen Water bottle out of the freezer, wrapped it in a Bath Towel and used it to ensure the Yogurt stayed cool. 2.89 miles + whatever distance I did walking around the Grocery Store. It would be nice if they had fruits and dairy adjacent instead of at opposite ends of the store, I know why they do that to encourage Impulse Buys.

    A beautiful Morning out, in the 60s with low humidity and still only 69 degrees when I finally got home 2.5 hours later. I weighed the Backpack @ 9.5 pounds and It sure impacted my speed walking. I could not believe I used to carry a lot more than that in excess weight :)

    Have a Great Sunday

    Hi Irene
    The last two mornings were fabulous out for walking :) Walking and not sweating, great! I am up to 9921 steps currently.

    BTW My Brother avoids shopping on Mondays, he feels that they are still in the process on Monday of restocking from the weekends shopping crowd.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Vix
    Around here I try and stock up when they are on sale at 10 for $10 or the 3 flavor 18 packs ate Costco where they are even cheaper. Is that the Cherry Chocolate flavor that reminds me of the Cherry Filled Chocolate Candy?
    I found the Strawberry Cheesecake flavor, Boston Creme Pie and a Raspberry Chocolate and Passion Fruit flavors this morning. I am not afraid to go to the Supermarket on Weekends, I just make sure to get there at 8AM before the crowds start to show up.

    Cheers

    Roger, the one I got is plain cherry. My store has 4 packs for $3.69....but they only have a few flavors: cherry, strawberry cheesecake, vanilla, and I think peach. I got the strawberry cheesecake last time. It's good. :) (I don't think you have Food Lion in NJ).

    Good morning.
    Another beautiful morning, and it looks like the whole week will be great weather. Yay.
    Nothing planned for today. I'm going to get back to doing my PT exercises and maybe plan to get back to the gym next week. Need to be more careful with my eating again. I've been going off and it shows right away! It'll probably be easier when I get back to my normal routine.
    Enjoy the day, everyone. :)

    Good morning;
    It is drizzling and very humid. I have to go to the dentist this morning and plan on walking there. I will probably be a soggy mess when I get there.
    Roger-The store did its job. :) I have tried coconut water and do not like it. I hope you enjoy it.
    Irene-Glad you had a good weekend. :)
    Vix-If you are having nice weather this week, I hope it is coming our way. We have had rain for the last 3 days.
    How is your ankle? Is it still swelling?
    I am off today and am house cleaning and I have to return a few things at 2 different stores.

    Hi All
    When I went out the Door it was looking clear, by the time I left the post office I was starting to see fog, By the time I got home You could barely see the end of the block. That fog & humidity made for a somewhat uncomfortable walk. During the Walk I saw two Deer run out of a front yard in a house across from one of our Elementary Schools.

    Have a Good Monday

    Hi Vix
    We may have a Food Lion somewhere, However I have never seen one so I doubt it. Back in the 80s and 90s I covered a lot of the state while working.

    Hi Irene
    I got the Last batch of Dannon L&F Greek Yogurts at Pathmark, I find that ShopRite has different flavors so I go there too.

    Congratulations on getting in Your walking.

    Hi Joanne
    It seemed Humid this morning here too. At the risk of sounding unkind, Better You than me with the Dentist :)
    I guess I will find out about the Coconut Water in the near future.

    I need to go tinker with my Days PF + SC Snack or change the Dinner Entree or both , the days Calories are running higher than I like.

    We got lucky with rain and avoided it. Maybe some tonight into Tuesday, we will see.

    Cheers

    Actually, it was nice this morning, but has gotten hot and humid. Oh well. Sun is shining. :)
    Good luck with the dentist, Jo. My ankle is still swelling and I have sort of a hard lump under the length of the incision. My massage therapist thought it might be scar tissue forming, so I'm massaging it a little every day to try to keep it down. I did my PT exercises this morning, and even that was a little painful. Hopefully if I do them all week my body will ease up a bit.
    Our weather is supposed to be in the low 80s and sunny through Friday, would love to share the nice weather with you all, will try to blow it up your way. :)

    Good morning.
    Thanks, Irene, have a good day. :)
    They delivered some drywall for our basement early this morning. Sun is shining, letting the breeze in from the deck, sipping coffee. Nice :)
    Looking forward to clay class, excited to see how my birdhouse looks when it comes out of the kiln. :)
    Enjoy your day.

    Hi All
    I got out and walked 3 miles and 14 cents, I did not realize it was that far until I ran the route through Mp My Run.
    While walking on a bridge over one of our Brooks I looked at the water and there was something moving through it, As It got nearer it turned out to be a Turtle with a shell the size of a dinner plate :)

    Fairly warm and Humid today too
    I delayed my order Sunday, I had been uncertain whether to do that or not until I looked at it an d it was showing the Granola cereal as Low inventory, Rather than take a change I delayed an extra week. At that Point I had a four week supply of Shelf Stable on hand so it should be no problem.

    I am working on capturing an old 1982 VHS of a HBO Special that I am sure will not surface anywhere again. Yesterday I captured a VHS of a 1980 HBO Special and am getting ready to turn that into a DVD and Back up the source of Both to a BluRay Disc once today's is captured.

    Have a Great Tuesday

    Hi Vix
    Is it a Mold Resistant DryWall? Even a basement that seems dry can be somewhat humid.

    Will we be seeing pictures of the BirdHouse?

    Good Afternoon;
    No cavities! :)
    Roger-on my way to the dentist yesterday I saw about 15 turkeys of varying sizes in a yard about 3 houses down from mine. I have only seen 1 turkey in the 30 years I have lived here. He flew over the fence into our yard and then flew over our fence into the neighbors yard.
    Vix-Are you going to hang the birdhouse outside? What color are you painting it?
    Irene-you are doing great getting your walks in every day.
    My hubby bought me a new fitbit. It is the one that you wear on your wrist. It keeps track of your steps, heart rate,calories burned and how you sleep. So far today I have done 12,490 steps(and that is only from walking at work). I plan on giving my old fitbit to my son.
    Laundry is calling. Have a great evening. :)

    Hi All
    No Walk today and apparently the weather is really good too. I Am feeling poorly and can not stray far from the Kleenex Box. Either I have caught something or the Ragweed Pollen is getting to me for the first time ever.

    Wish Me Luck shaking this thing
    Have a Great Wednesday

    Hi Joanne
    Be Careful around those Turkeys, If You hit one while driving You and Your car will both be unhappy. 15 Turkeys is a decent size flock and be careful around them, they can do damage to You or Your Dog.

    Good News on regarding the war on Cavities :)

    Exactly the best way to get rid of used electronics, Pass them on to someone that can use them.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Irene
    When working, Do You use a Lift Belt? They do seem to help. I had one job where they handed them out to anybody doing heavy lifting.

    Glad You had good weather for You walk.

    Good morning. Thanks all on the bird house comments. I am really happy with how it turned out. :)
    Roger, hope you start feeling better soon. Chicken soup? Take it easy and rest, lots of fluids. Hugs. :)
    Irene, hope your back feels better soon. Be careful lifting, bending, twisting. You may want to try gentle stretching.
    Jo, congrats on the good dentist visit. :) That's a lot of turkeys! I see one in the woods occasionally.
    I was going to put the birdhouse out front in one of our trees, but may wait til next spring. I don't think I want to leave it out over the winter. I'd like to make a few more too....that way I'll have fun decorating outside in the Spring. :)
    Partly cloudy, but nice forecast for today. I will do my PT exercises and put some color on my platinum roots this morning, going out with girlfriends tonight. :)
    Enjoy your day.

    Hi All
    Still feeling Poorly, A bit better than Yesterday however. I looked in the refrigerator and decided to walk to the Produce Store for Fruits, Bananas, Tangerines, Apples, Also three things for my Brother. Total walk 1 mile + whatever in the Produce store and Dollar Store. It was not bad out until the Sun started coming out from behind the clouds. Just Sitting here listening to music from the war years, Marlene Dietrich, Vera Lynn, Vaughn Monroe etc.

    NSV last weekend too, I Bought some new Pocket Tees a size smaller and they fit rdb.gif.

    Have a Good Thursday

    Irene-3 days of rest should help your back. Take it easy and have George wait on you. ;)

    I go for my annual physical tomorrow. Other than the occasional aches and pains I feel pretty good, so am hoping for a good report. Wish me luck.

    Hi All
    Still somewhat under the weather but I walked anyway.......... It was so cool it was almost cold, Parts of NJ hit the 40s overnight, a nearby town was in the 50s. Shorts and a T-Shirt did not really cut it until I got warmed up and caffeinated.

    Now I am officially tired :)

    We pulled the fuel tank off of the Roto Tiller for cleaning, The Fuel was really old 10+ years and did not even smell anything remotely like gas. Picked up new fuel hose as the old hose was cracked and leaking. I believe it will be fine with new fuel as it did run on starting fluid. Hopefully I will not have to rebuild the carburetor too.


    Don't forget, Only two more days to buy the $59.99 NS Gift Cards Via Costco

    Have a Good Friday

    Good afternoon;
    I passed my physical with flying colors! :) Dr. said all my blood work was great and my BP was 102/70 (which was a little low).He was not concerned. I do have to see the podiatrist, as he thinks I have a plantar warts on the balls of my feet. I said I wanted to wait until after vacation.
    Roger-thanks for the reminder about the Costo cards. I got mine in the mail yesterday. :)
