Good morning.
I helped get the paintings into the fair last night, out of the teachers car and all registered.
Thanks about the stained glass. I'm proud of that one, the photo doesn't do it justice. It looks really great in a window with the sun coming through. The headlights look like they're lighting up.
It's good that you're all getting your walks in, and keeping up with the lawn mowing.
I'm going for my 2nd epidural today. Hopefully my leg will be feeling better. I would love to get back to my walks in the park, but am going to wait a few days this time.
Happy Friday, everyone.0 -
I posted some Humor a little while ago
Hi
I'm back from walking and once again no cents. The Temperature out the door was 75 degrees and once again very uncomfortable walking due to humidity. I thought I heard rain around 3AM and sure enough when I looked out before heading out I could see where it had rained, not a heavy rain.
Thursday I took and scrambled an egg and after pulling it sprinkled some Shredded Cheddar on it a touch of salt and useful as is or in a sandwich.
We had lunch at the Chinese Buffet, I could have done better
I had a slice of their small Pizza, Sadly it was much tastier than the National Pizza Chain Little Caesars', Despite being held in a metal tray on the hot table their French Fries were tasty too. The Chicken Nuggets I tried were Meh
Yesterday was not that great looking, We hit intermittent rain going to and returning from the Chinese Buffet.
The item I ate the most of was the Beef Broccoli followed by Some Butter Cabbage assorted types of Chicken including wings
Then as the Coup De Grace My NS frozen delivery arrived after 3PM when I was feeling sluggish from the Buffet.

The lawn needs mowing, It does appear that the Weed Killer we spread last week has killed a lot of the weeds so Success. Now it just looks ragged from the way the grass is growing due to the mostly daily rain.
Good Luck with the Pool Heater

Good Luck Getting Back to Walking

Good morning.
Well, I didn't get all the immediate relief from the epidural that I did the last time, but they said to give it a few days to kick in. The doc said to take it easy for the week. I may go to the county fair today, but that will be mostly strolling, shouldn't be too much.
Great news!!! My son got engaged last night. Happy Family!
Happy Saturday, everyone.0 -

Good morning;
Vix-Congratulations on your son's engagement. I love the stained glass car. Good luck with your fair entries.
Irene-Did you get your heater installed? How is Annie doing? Any news on the sale of your house?
Roger-I also found a cent this week. I haven't been walking, it has been too humid for me.
We had rain yesterday until about 3pm, then the sun came out.
I had to take a trip to the doctor last Thurs. for a cyst on my thigh. The doc thought it might have been caused by a spider or other insect bite. I am on antibiotics and warm compresses.
Have a great Sunday.

Hi
I'm back from walking and once again no cents. The Temperature out the door was 72 degrees and still not comfortable walking due to humidity.
I am undecided whether to mow the lawn today or tomorrow or split the mowing between the days.

I'm sorry to hear that it did not kick in instantly, I hope they are right about the few days.
Taking it easy is not hard for me, it is the getting going on chores that is tough.
I hope You made it to the fair and had en enjoyable time.
Congratulations on your son's engagement, I'm sure that with the values You instilled both of them have a good life ahead.

If I said I am tired of all the rain and humidity...
The Skies opened up yesterday morning after I was back home from walking. I thought I had felt a few drops as I walked up the block to house and shortly thereafter, Heavy Rain. Then in the afternoon the sun came out and it was a beautiful if humid day. Likely the humidity was worse due to the rain drying off into the air.
Good Luck, I hope they finish the Pool heater

You are doing better than I this week finding money, I seem to have been spending it not finding it
I'm not surprised Your rain lasted later than ours as the weather reports all showed it moving Northward.
I am sorry to hear that You developed the Cyst. Somewhat scary that a insect bite can do that.
I hope the Antibiotics and Compresses clear it up quickly.
Roger0 -
Good morning.
Thanks all...my son and his fiance are really happy, wonderful young people. So glad they will be together. (They loved the stained glass car I made for them).
Jo, hope that cyst heals quickly, sounds painful.
Interesting about the goat hanging out with deer, Roger. Those lizards, on the other hand, sound like a menace. Maybe we should be more careful about what pets we allow people to import, knowing how irresponsible some people can be.
Irene, hope they got your pool heater in.
We went to the fair yesterday, but the art exhibit was closed for judging....I guess there were too many entries for them to do it Friday night. So we'll have to go back to see it. We did see a pig race and a duck race which were kind of fun, and plenty of farm animals.
Happy Sunday, everyone.0 -

Hi
I'm back from walking and once again no cents. The Temperature out the door was 78 degrees and uncomfortable walking due to humidity.
Last night at 10PM it was still 87 degrees and the temperature never dropped that much IMO.
I decided to mow the lawn Sunday, was out the door to mow at 8AM and ended up soaked with sweat.

I thought that it was interesting too, Goat and Deer, I dug up that link after it surfaced on the TV news.
The same sort of problem has surfaced with people turning pet fish loose in the wild when they get to big.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakehead_(fish)
"Since 2002, it has been illegal to possess a live snakehead in many US states, where they are considered a destructive invasive species. "Virginia has criminalized the "introduction" of snakeheads into the state without specific authorization, although the relevant statute does not explain whether mere importation is sufficient to constitute "introduction into the Commonwealth" or whether instead release into the environment is required.

Congratulations on the walking and the 5 cents

Good morning;
Yesterday we cleaned out the shed. I had an old bike of my sons, a patio table and a spreader, that I put out by the curb and by late afternoon they were gone.
Irene-congrats on the 5 cents and getting your pool heater installed. I sometimes miss my pool, but not the maintenance.
Vix-The fair sounds like fun. I haven't been to one in years, maybe this year.
Hi Roger.

I made some jambalaya for hubby last night (I had some too...yum.)

Roger, I've read about those fish before....they are very destructive to local fish populations and environment. Good that you got your walk in early. It was too hot yesterday, continuing through the next few days.
No special plans for today. Wishing everyone a good week. Happy Monday.0 -
good morning, well today I am taking Annie to the vet to get her nails trimmed. That is probably all I have planned. It is going to be very hot today. We went for our walk this morning only about 45 minutes too hot to go to far. take care everyone0

If the weather were better I would be thinking of checking out the local Goodwill, One of these days I'll get there and see how it is.
Banana Bread, One way to use up ripe bananas I tend to throw English Walnuts into the batter to add a little texture and taste.

What I saw on the weather forecast yesterday indicates that for at least to more days the humidity and heat are here, then a cold front is forecast to move through. The overnights still look to be 70s after that happens. Oh well.
Stay Cool

I agree that this weather takes the get up and go out of You, I have switched to taking a bottle of cold water and having coffee later with breakfast and even that does not help much.
And I also shortened my distance traveled

Banana Bread fresh from the oven with butter melting into it, Yummy, Cold it could be Cream Cheese or Butter
Either Way I know what You mean about making the whole thing vanish.
The walking was slightly better today as their was a little bit of a breeze, still not good however, Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Good morning.
Roger, I read another longer article about the ticks....they are surviving better because of the warmer weather, spreading north and thriving in places where they would normally die off. The Mendocino fire is the largest recorded in California history, and the fires are worse and earlier than ever due to the extreme heat and dryness. All these weather related things happening in our country and throughout the world and it is still being denied by so many. Scary times....we are not protecting the earth, which is degrading our quality of life. Business won't matter if the earth is destroyed. Very frustrating.
Anyway, high of 92 expected today with p.m. t-storms. Haven't seen anyone building an ark yet.
No special plans for today....may go back to the county fair to see the art exhibit. Will see how the day unfurls.
Happy Wednesday, everyone. Keep cool.

I will be posting more humor in a minute or two as soon as I dry out a bit from the walking
08/09/2018 100%
Hi
I'm back from walking and one (1) cent. The Temperature out the door was 79 degrees and very uncomfortable walking due to humidity.
Today is once again forecast to be in the 90s, The heat wave continues
The humidity is forecast to be lower later today, too late to do me any good walking.
I will be out the door later after my brother leaves to go to the post office. I have to ship back the old cable modem that they sent to give higher speeds for the same price, At least it is a prepaid label.
A price too high as is IMO. The swap was a pain in the neck. The problem started with the instructions.
Step 1. Download their App to the Smartphone.
Step 2. Scan a QR code.
Step 3. Swap modems.
Step 4. Go back and use the app to activate if I understood it.
I did not pay a lot of attention to all the steps as all we have are Dumb Phones AKA Flip Phones that have no Internet, one or two have cameras, Unneeded IMO FWIW. Therefore I ended up on the phone to the cable company. It started off poorly with the announcement that there was a 45 minute Que ahead of me. Did I want to stay online or set up a callback. I chose Callback. Then the darn thing took forever to get going
