    Hi Joanne
    Good morning, Roger we just got home from our walk and it started to pouring down rain. We decided to only walk about 45 minutes because it was too hot for Annie. Vix how is Pete doin? Hey Jo
    Hi Irene
    It sounds a if You were luckier than I was the real downpour started two block from home in my case and continued for the walking I did. Then later on it all dried up :(

    The heat problem for Annie, is it a long hair thing ?

    Have a Good Day

    Good morning.
    Pete's struggling through this week. I hope he can drive me home from my injection tomorrow. I'll see how he feels this a.m. I may have to postpone again.
    Anyway, another gray, rainy day here.
    We need some sunshine!
    Hi Vix
    I am so over this weather, Hopefully today is better.

    I'm sorry to hear that Pete is struggling, Hopefully not for long.

    Good Luck
    Roger

    P.S. I found the Pain killer and Dementia link interesting, Then Last night the TV news coverage was about a medication that has been developed that slows the effect significantly.

Vix I am sorry that Pete is having a hard time sending prayers.

    I have posted more humor (??)

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 72 degrees and It is still uncomfortable walking due to high humidity. As I headed out the door it felt OK for a couple of blocks then the humidity started making an impact :(

    Hi Irene
    My brother took advantage of a dry period and mowed the lawn and I followed behind with a weed killer that hopefully got watered in when the rain returned rather than being washed away. It it succeeds in killing off the darn weeds that stick flower heads up that will be a big help. It was mainly those weeds that made the lawn look untidy so ....

    I talked to yard service one time about that since they mow rain or shine and what I was told is that mowing a wet lawn is OK if, Big if, the blade is sharp. He could have been lying however I know him and he does live two block away.

    Congratulations on getting the steps in, Today I am behind. OTOH I plan to head out to the Whole Foods, I like their Butter for example and then onto the ShopRite for the Low Calorie Bread as I have two slices left and they are starting to get dried out. So Two Parking Lots and two Grocery Stores at a minimum later on.

    Have a Nice Day

    Good morning, Roger Annie always had a hard time with the heat. She is short hair so it bothers her more I guess the long hair keeps the dogs cooler. I did get my yard mowed yesterday the grass seemed dry. Our weather this morning on our walk was fine it was like 72. Vix since I didn't see you on here I figured you went for your shot hope it helps . Hey Jo

    hello.
    I went for my injection yesterday, and was able to drive home myself. Was feeling pretty good. Went for a walk in the park this morning, and some of the pain has come back. I have an appt for a follow up shot in 2 weeks. It's still better than it was.
    Pete's hanging in there. Hopefully will feel better by next week.
    Pretty much going to take it easy for the rest of the day, put an ice pack on for a little while.
    Happy Friday, everyone.

    Good afternoon;
    Just finished catching up with everyone.
    Roger-congrats on your $5.00 find.
    Vix-I hope you and Pete feel better soon.
    Hi Irene-Around my area there seems to be a lot of open houses.
    We have had rain off and on all week. Today it is sunny and humid.
    It has been really hot at work. I don't think the AC is working very well. It seems like since we had the remodel everything is breaking down and a lot of the machinery was new.
    I think poor workmanship.
    Have a good evening. :)

    More humor is being posted

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 70 degrees and deceptive. It felt OK for the fist block or so then uncomfortable walking due to high humidity. It was clear out the door and I could see the full moon, by the time I returned home the moon was hidden by the fog that moved in while I was walking.

    Yesterday I saw 5 deer eating the grassy play area behind the grade school and this morning 2 more doing likewise.

    Hi Irene
    That seems counter-intuitive to me, I would have thought that long hair would make the dogs hotter :smile:

    And I though that it was humid :wink:

    How did You make out with the weather Friday, parts on NJ got pounded with flooding, where I am I thought I saw and heard a little thunder in the distance, lucky me :smiley:

    FWIW there was severe flooding in parts of NJ after 5+ inches of rain in three hours. The fog is still getting thicker, the humidity is forecast to drop later today and Sunday is forecast to be better.

    While I was out and about yesterday I decided to get a Little Ceasars' pizza, They advertise all over the place. It did not look like the commercial's pizza having less Pepperoni BTW. It was OK while it was hot, cold not good. My brother ate two slices and said it was not good either. Part of that for both of us I suspect was the bready fairly thick crust. That makes it one less temptation for the future. I did salvage the cheese and Pepperoni off of the slices I threw away. Since neither of us likes to waste food the fact that We threw out food tells the tale. Weirdly to me the staff seemed to be one person, I mentioned it and he said it's OK since it doesn't get busy and he does that every day.

    Congratulations on the Mowing being done

    Hi Vix
    I wonder how the doctors decide between an ice pack and a heat pad ?

    I hope the pain after the walk is just the shot taking time to work.

    Good Luck with Pete

    Hi Joanne
    Thanks for the kind words.

    This past week has seen rain every day at some point in time. The heat and humidity have been wreaking havoc on ACs, Add in that getting them repaired takes longer than usual due to the demand for repairs and I have been in some businesses that were quite warm and I was glad I was not a worked there.

    There is a lack of skilled people in the trades and You are likely seeing the result of that at work. A Bad install can cause problems with new equipment and they have bought by price and not by quality. I know from experience that You get what You pay for, usually.

    Have a Good Weekend

    Good morning. Thanks all. Some things take time to resolve. We'll hang in.
    T-storm yesterday pulled some of the covers off our deck chairs! Pretty strong winds. Calm and sunny so far today.
    Hi Irene.
    Roger, good job on the walking. Yesterday in the park saw lots of birds...at one point saw about 5 red bellied woodpeckers hanging out.
    Jo, too bad about the conditions at work. I hope they get it fixed, they should have some kind of waranty with the company that installed the AC.
    No special plans for today.
    Happy Saturday, everyone. :)

    Good morning;
    I am up early and getting the laundry done.
    Roger-we had a Little Ceasar's pizza in our town, but it didn't last long. It was so long ago, I don't remember if I actually bought pizza there.
    Irene-you are so good about getting your walks in.
    Vix-I haven't seen any woodpeckers yet. I had a hawk just sitting in my yard on Thurs. He was just looking around, then spread his wings and took off. They have such a huge wing span.
    Have a great day and stay cool! :)

    Hi Vix
    Did the winds also blow the covers away ? I have not seen any real winds around here, luckily.

    Lucky You, I hear woodpeckers while walking and do not see them :(

    I bet they do have warranty OTOH the company could be overloaded.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Irene
    I walked further today due to the somewhat lowered humidity. The Overnight low temperatures were forecast to be in the 60s, Not so here.

    We have some good Pizza places in town also, The Little Ceasars' purchase was a impulse buy since I was curious based on their commercials. The best part of that pizza was the Cheese and Pepperoni toppings. The Cheese and Pepperoni that I scraped off and saved before throwing the crust away as it was not thin and crispy tasted OK after I heated it to use as Protein with my Lunch :wink:

    Have Nice Day

    If I said I'm not surprised it did not last based on my test purchase.

    I hope they get the AC and equipment at work fixed

    Good morning..
    Well, we're getting plenty of rain, don't have to water. Sunny and pretty out so far this a.m. Did some grocery shopping and worked on getting some of my paintings ready for the county fair coming up this week. I think I'll find a couple of pieces of my pottery too to enter into the other county fair (also coming up this week.) I live on the edge of 4 counties.
    Will do a little cleaning today and maybe run some more errands. Should be a fairly quiet day.
    Happy Sunday, everyone. :)
