Good morning;
Roger-congratulations on logging in for 3 years. I hadn't realized that it has been 3 years since NS shut down their chat room. Also congrats on finding 35 cents.
The vet visit was just a routine check-up. All Vinny's blood work came back good and his diabetes it under control. We are still waiting for Sophie's blood work to come back. It has to be sent out to a lab and takes a little longer for the results.
Irene-I hope you were able to get your hair highlighted. I am glad Annie is on the mend.
Hi Vix.
I am off to work in a little while.
Enjoy your day and stay cool.

Hi Joanne
I had not realized it was that long either, I still believe that the old NS run forum was more helpful and informative. All the Recipes and helpful users

Good News with Vinny's results.

Good Luck With Sophie's blood work
Roger

Hi Vix
It was a nice morning out, I do agree with Irene however that today will be somewhat hot and thus damaging to the electric bill. When I looked at the Living Room Thermometer yesterday at 6:45PM it was showing 80 degrees, I had been in the basement where it was cooler so I was somewhat surprised by that. I instantly turned on the AC in the wall. Yesterday morning I turned off the heat due to the forecast for the next few days at a minimum. I am wondering if I will turn it back on before fall due to the 10 day forecast I saw yesterday

Enjoy the Day
Roger

Hi Irene
My brother plans to run the Rototiller today in the back yard garden beds, Hopefully he gets starter before the heat of the day as I will out there helping too.

I am waiting to see if the small Corm-lets off of the Gladiolus that I planted in starter trays sprout. If so and with any luck they can be planted to grow to flowering size for planting next year.

I'm sure Annie appreciates the effort.

Congratulations on getting Your hair done, I need to get out and have mine cut.

Cheers
Roger

Hi Irene
We seem to end up mowing once a week all summer long unless we have a drought that makes the lawn go dormant. No plants have been bought yet, I know my brother however and he will be buying flowers for the front yard and Vegetables for the back yard.

Stay Cool, I was just out at 1PM to go to the bank, It is hot out there

I agree, although it was nice earlier, it is too darned hot already for early May. I hope it cools off soon, however I suspect tomorrow will be hot too.

Hi Irene
It was not great out there walking today, I suspect the humidity is higher today

When I walked into the Living Room it was 79 degrees in there at 5AM so on my return home I turned on the Wall AC to get things cooled off for the day. That will also help cool the rest of the Ground Floor as the cold air slowly works it's way around.

There are Biological Grub controls You can use yourself to save money. The Pest Control company may not mention them, but will likely use them.

http://www.organiclandcare.net/green-room/olc-articles/lawns-organic-approach-grubs
If the grubs are from Japanese beetles, you can use milky spore bacteria (Bacillus popilliae) for safe, long-term control of the white Japanese beetle grubs.

Hi Vix
Too Soon for Too Hot

It was somewhat strange this morning, When I left the house the sky was clear and not too bad when I returned home, then it clouded over. OTOH that could hold the temps down. T-Storms forecast for this afternoon or evening and not all parts of NJ

Enjoy the Day
Roger

well the pest guy came and it will cost us 600.00 with no guarantee so I will go myself and buy a bag of Grubex and do it I can't see spending all that money and not having any guarantee. So in the next couple of days I will do it.

Several of the people and entities involved in the new PACs have been investigated for alleged fraud and other illegal practices in the charity sphere.

Hi Irene
$600 and no guarantee, No Sale !
As long as You already have a spreader why not DIY.

I am curious what makes You think You have a Grub problem ?

I hope You are enjoying the weather today as much as I currently am. I left the front door open on my return to help cool off the house. So far in the last hour the living room has dropped 2 degrees, so far so good.

I have now posted more humor FWIW

Hi
I'm back from walking and as I was walking across the parking lot to pick up my refill of coffee I found a penny, then leaving I found a second penny in their driveway, then crossing the street I spotted the third penny so I ended up with a grand total of 3 cents. The temperature this morning was 63 degrees. The walking was really nice today, There is a 70% chance of rain for today and the sky does have that appearance.

I hope our rain holds off as my brother mentioned yesterday that the mower smelled hot when he mowed so I hope I can get the shroud off and check to see if mice built a nest in the area over the cooling fins blocking the air flow as has happened in the past. Depends on the rain holding off.

Good morning;
Yesterday, was a beautiful day. The weather here is supposed to be in the 70's for most of the week. I am loving this weather.
We had a tree taken down out front. After the winter we had last year and all the downed trees we didn't want to take any chances. If the tree fell it would have ripped all the power lines off the house.
Vix-Congrats to your son's girlfriend for passing the bar. I hope you win an award for your painting.
Roger-I have not turned on the AC yet. There has been a nice breeze at night, just right for sleeping.
Irene-Good luck with the Grubex. $600. is a lot of money for no guarantee.
This morning I am doing house work and then running errands. I want to pick up a few replacements plants for the ones that didn't survive.
Have a great Sunday!
