    I have posted more humor once again.

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and I went out running around with my brother and as a reward I found a folded dollar bill in a parking lot. The temperature out the door was 62 degrees under a clear sky. The forecast is for nice if somewhat warm weather through Saturday.

    Went for a walk in the park yesterday. Saw a big beautiful owl in a tree. When I pointed it out to hubby, the bird took flight...absolutely stunning. :)

    Happy Thursday.

    Hi Vix

    I agree that today looks to be another really nice day if warm enough that I shall be running the AC later on. For now I have a Window open in the back off the house and the front door open to create a exchange of air through the house.

    Have a Good Day

    good morning, had a nice long walk this morning. Got my 10k steps in. Today we are having mulch delivered so you know what I will be doing this weekend. I don't mind mowing it always looks so nice and in Trenton it doesn't take long Roger. Hi Vix and Jo . Oh I have an otter box for my phone it protects from dropping and water.
    Hi Irene
    Good work with the steps. We had mulch delivered a couple of years back, since then we just buy it on sale in bags.
    The Lowes circular shows that for their Memorial Day sale mulch is 5 bags for $10 so we will be heading that way to pick up more when the sale starts.

    Water is the enemy, Is the otter box a true box or a waterproof skin ?

    Here is a question for You, When I was out running around with my brother Thursday I noticed that some of the gas stations had a price of $3.09 per gallon. That was the highest I saw, What sort of prices are You seeing.

    Have a nice Day

    I'm back from walking and found 15 cents in two locations. The other day I saw three deer walking up the brook in the water and this morning I had one deer cross the street ahead of me.

    I am guessing that the Pool usage will depend on the Air and Water temperature.

    What needs doing in the front yard that will so much of Your time ?

    Good morning.
    I didn't notice gas prices the last few days...last I noticed it had gone up to $2.89, probably a week ago.
    Looks like another beautiful day, though the forecast does show p.m. t-storms.

    Gas was $2.95 this morning (another station in town had $2.99) Sometimes it's 5 or 10 cents cheaper about 10 miles from here.

    Good morning;
    Yesterday I had to take Vinny to the vet. His blood sugar was really low. They kept him all morning, giving him IV glucose. They close at 1 on Sat, so I then had to bring him to a 24/7
    animal hospital a few towns away. They are keeping him for a few days to get his glucose number up and observe him. They told me that diabetic cats can stop having diabetes.
    Also on Friday, we had the gas man come to change the meter. It has to be done every so often by law. He found a small gas leak in one of the elbow joints. He was able to change the meter, but had to shut the gas off until the leak was fixed. It being a long weekend, the plumber can not come until Tuesday or Wednesday. So we have no hot water and no stove.
    Luckily we can use the grill, microwave and toaster oven.
    What a great start to our vacation.
    Sorry for being so long winded.
    On the bright side I did get a few choirs done that I had been putting off and went for a three mile walk with my daughter.
    Have a great day! :)

    Hi
    With the thunder happening I did not get out walking, yet, Maybe later. There is a fairly heavy rain falling and that is forecast to be off and on today. The temperature is currently 71 degrees and is forecast to fall through the day.

    The weather forecast for Thunderstorms Saturday afternoon cam true around the 5PM hour. The Overnight into this morning They rolled through again.

    It does not always pay to drive any distance to save on fuel prices IMO. The last news report I saw indicated a average price of $3 a gallon for gas :(

    I wonder if the recall from Chrysler, Fiat, Jeep has any real effect. I know I use the heck out of the cruise control on the Buick and I used it all the time in the Pontiac it replaced. I use it to hold 25MPH in town on the streets where that is posted as the Police regularly set up on those roads.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Irene
    I would love to find money daily, it doesn't happen :(

    I have not had that problem with squirrels, I wonder if they were going after something in the ground where You planted, I see them digging at the lawn sometimes.

    The neighbor across the street is always tinkering with the yard and flower beds. Me I'm more of a buy something perennial that will come up year after year.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Joanne
    I wonder what happened to cause the low blood sugar, At least You caught it.

    That Stinks, I guess doing without hot water and stove is better than blowing up.
    We had a small gas leak that turned out to be near the furnace, I had smelled it occasionally for quite a while before I found it. It was not a strong smell and only now and then. I may have been taking a bit of a risk with it. It turned out to be the gas shut off valve on the furnace and according to the plumber no longer allowed to be used as in time they started leaking.

    At least we would be able to use the oven as it is electric vs the Stove top which is gas, We could use the small grill too, not a real fun thing to do in rainy or cold weather.

    Hopefully You have a good Holiday anyway.

    Good morning.
    Sorry about Vinny, Jo. Hope he feels better soon. Good that they found the gas leak. Our house is the same...gas for hot water, heat, and stove. Is your daughter close enough that you can shower at her house? That's what we did when our hot water heater was out (my daughter's house or the gym). Maybe go out for a night in the city and go to a hotel? Enjoy your vacation.
    Irene, I hope Annie is doing well. We have a lot of flowers too. Pete loves to work in the garden.
    Roger, we didn't get the afternoon t-storms yesterday, but it's forecast again for today. High of 83 today. Summer is here.

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and found no cents. The Temperature out the door was 56 degrees. It is a nice enough day outside, According to the weather forecast I saw last night one part of NJ had 6 inches of rain in 12 hours. Our rain was a lower amount. South of where I am the rain lasted longer and there were many roads closed due to flooding. I also wonder how many Parades were rescheduled due to the rain ?

    Hi Irene
    I have a suspicion that You had a lot more rain than I.

    My Brother picked up the hamburger that was on sale and I plan to grill some burgers later today. Once the meat is all grilled up I can freeze some of it easily for future use and Microwave later.

    Hi Vix
    If I am remembering correctly Your water heater was disabled due to a bad fan on the exhaust. Our old style that has no electric connection kept working through Sandy's long power outage so at least I could shower and had hot water to wash the dishes. A match to light the burners and we could cook too. It could have been worse.

    As far as I am concerned Yard work and garden work are chores, Lucky Pete.

    Hopefully things went well for You Sunday.

    Good morning;
    Vinny is doing much better and we may be able to pick him us this evening.
    Vix-I managed to take a cold shower yesterday, but today is too cold. I will probably go to my daughter's house tomorrow.
    Roger-I think Vinny's blood sugar was so low because I was giving him his regular dose of insulin and he didn't need the usual dosage.
    We got a lot accomplished yesterday. We painted all 4 exterior doors. Today it is raw and rainy, so no plans as of yet.
    I feel bad for the people that were having cookouts this weekend, as the weather here has been so cold.
    Hi Irene.

    This morning is misty and drizzly. But the temps have been in the high 70s to mid 80s.
