Good morning all.
Sunny, high of 90 today. Took an early morning walk.
Got a new battery under warranty yesterday. It had a bad cell. My 3 years are up in October.
Sceduled a library pickup this a.m., so I'll have some books to read. I've been reading on my Nook the last few days. I keep a supply of free books on it.
Will see what else the day brings...
Have a good Wednesday.1 -
Hello!!
The whole week forecast is the same. Upper 90's with heat index in the 105 range. 30% chance of thunderstorms, except Sunday where the heat index will be 108. It reminds me of when I had visited my grandma in Arizona, but not the humidity, of course. You could tell the day by when your A/C started really cycling in the morning. I need to cut the grass. Do not want to go outside, lol...
Spent yesterday at the Toyota place, as I needed an oil change and my tires rotated. They were running a special. I had about 5 things done, including new wipers, which I needed. Of course then they found 2 filters that needed replacing, and my battery was corrosive, so bought a lifetime battery for not much more, and they will replace free as long as I own the car. Not sure it needed the battery, but with my car now 3 years old, it seemed a deal too good to pass up. I was there from 1 pm till almost 4:45. However , since it was like 2 appts with the extras, it was fine. They said I am not due back till Jan. of 2021. That seems weird, lol...The showroom was nicely spaced. Very clean. This all must be hard for people to grasp though. One lady was waiting and just traveling all over. Mid 50's to maybe early 60's...no mask. She stopped at the free coffee table and hovered over the snacks. I was watching her, and was kind of perturbed by her. She must have mistaken my look, because she comes right up to me and chats like we were at a church social. I really did not answer, so she comes closer..Finally I said I was not comfortable talking with her as she had no mask. She apologized and said she had one, but she had been eating. So she spent the next 35 minutes visiting everyone else in the showroom, just laughing, reminiscing, and having a good time. All without a mask. Guess she felt at home there. Gotta love the small towns down here.
The man who checked me in removed his mask to talk. He probably saw the most people, and he wore his kind of intermittently. One of the techs I saw had on a mask and must have removed it. I think he was taking a break outside. But I had to laugh as when he came in, he did the old Southern spit, (not sure if he was chewing tobacco or not) into one or the wastebaskets in the lobby..and they wonder why it spreads. This was offset by the cute very young, like teen, Chinese couple who had there masks on. I wanted to congratulate them.
You can tell I am never out!! Look at the length of this column!!
Take care all!! Stay safe!!

Jan, that is so different than the dealer I took my car to yesterday. No one was waiting inside. There may have been a waiting room, but it seemed that most people were just dropping their cars off. Everyone was wearing masks at all times. They gave me an option of paying by phone, and they would have left my keys and paperwork outside in the car for me to pick up if I had preferred that. I would not have been comfortable in your situation. Glad you got your car taken care of.
It's in the high 80s and 90s here. That's more than hot enough for me.
Have a good evening everyone.1 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! The temperature and dewpoint have met at 71 with a humidity of 100% so it's sticky out. Not a lot on the agenda today.

Good morning all.
Cloudy with a high of 87 expected today, maybe some rain later.
Irene, oh nice dog! Seems like a really good choice.
Ed, sticky here too.
Need to do some laundry and things around the house, not much on the agenda here either.
Have a good day, everyone.

Good morning,
We are all patiently waiting to hear about your Sammie, ( I think it was..wanted to double check, but a different page.) Those are a nice breed. I would be so impatient!!
I am amazed by all the different ways things are done not only in different areas, but also just in local vicinity. Good timing on your battery! Paper towels are hard to come by, and are 10 dollars a package. Granted you get 4, but between that and toilet paper sizes..sometimes I might have to use a spare closet or two...just funny!! I have had to do some shuffling!
Ed, glad you get a break! You are so lucky to be able to walk to things though if you want!! And with the animals...you really do not get much of a break, lol!!
Glad to be home! I stopped by the AF base to get my refills. Got to love them..Signs, masks, safety..No muss...no fuss!! Hi Jo!! Take care all!! 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! It's another heavy, sticky day out there. I do need to get out to Publix to pick up a couple of prescriptions. While there I might as well pick up a few things we are low on, like butter, eggs, milk...

Hot here too. Will probably do some cleaning that I should have done yesterday.

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! Another hot and sticky morning here. The cats did let me sleep in just a little, which was nice of them.
I might do some laundry today. Might not.

Good morning all.
Didn't sleep much last night, got up and finished a book.
Glad you were able to sleep in a little, Ed.
Another sunny day, high of 95 expected today, 97 tomorrow.
Need to water my plants and will see what else the day brings.
Happy puppy day, Irene.
Have a good weekend, everyone. Stay cool.1 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! The year is flying by, and that may be OK. Some things about this year sorta need to fly by. It is terribly sticky out. Feels like a good day to do nothing at all.

Good morning;
Another hot one today, high of 97. We got in a 2.5 mile walk before 7:30.
Grocery shopping and Skyping with my son later today, other than that I am staying in the air conditioned house.
Irene-did you get your puppy?
Vix-sorry you couldn't sleep. I. hope you were able to sleep last night.
Hi Ed and Jan.
Have a great day! 1 -
Good morning all.
Jo, sounds like a nice walk. Weather about the same here. Went for a walk one morning, but my leg has been bothering me again, so sticking with the elliptical for a while. Last night was better. All this staying home doesn't really agree with me. Glad you get to skype with your son. My son may stop by this a.m. Haven't seen him in about a month. That'll perk me up.
I did a little trim on my own hair yesterday...basically cut off a few pieces that were sticking out. I'll need a new box of color soon.
Ed, I agree...a lot of things about this year need to fly by.
Hi Irene and Jan.
Have a good day, everyone.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous muggy Monday! Another hot, sticky summer day here. It's supposed to get to 93 today.
I do need a few things from the grocery, but I am trying to hold off until Wednesday. Nothing is desperate, as we can live without certain cereals for a few days, and nothing is at critical levels as yet. We'll see how that looks tomorrow. LOL.

Good morning all.
Partly cloudy, high of 96 expected here today.
Still haven't been able to see the comet. Oh well. At least there are some nice pictures of it online.
No special plans for today.
I read that if everyone would wear masks and keep their distancing, we could get this under control again. Here's hoping.
Wishing you all a good new week. Stay safe.1 -
Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Another swelter in place day is in the making. Not a lot on the agenda today, other than some house cleaning.

Good morning all.
Thanks for the continuing laughs and thoughts, Ed.
Hope you have a good day.
Wear your masks, everyone, and stay healthy.

Hello!!
Continued 95 degree or warmer here too. I did go to my friends daughter's small
shower. Stayed relatively safe except for possibly when eating. I plan to stay home though just in case, and really have everything I need here, anyway. Just to be on the safe side so I would not pass anything farther. I had a better time than I thought since I really was not keen at all on going. I figured I might have been safer than on a bad day at the grocery when people keep walking and talking in my face without a mask..
My poor flowers are taking a beating with the heat. It had been so wet I could not water every day. Now it is humid, yet hot and dry and I missed a day watering. Guess I will not do that again. Why are the weeds so much hardier than the other flowers and plants.
Vix, I hope your leg is feeling better! I know you will enjoy seeing your son!! Ed, with this heat, you deserve a few days off to relax!! Glad you are doing well, Jo. Great walking!! Irene, Hi!! Hope it is going well!!
Stay cool and as safe as possible!! 0 -
hi all , we got our puppy she is so active but so cute well gotta go I am trying to house break her1

Good morning all.
Congratulations on the new puppy, Irene.
Jan, glad you had a good time. It's so nice to see people.
Ed, hope you caught up with your house cleaning.
Partly cloudy today, high of 94, possible t-storms this afternoon. We had some storms last evening, so everything outside got watered.
Have a good day, everyone.1 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! It's warm out there, and rather sticky. I went to Kroger early to get in during senior shopping hours and that is the extent of my exercise today. My wallet got a good workout anyway...
Late breakfast on returning, and I am having the rest of my pot of tea now. Might do a little more house cleaning today. I swear Orion sheds enough fur to knit a couple more cats. Well, that's a long haired cat for you. LOL.

Might sweep up some more long haired cat fur today.

Good morning all.
Had some t-storms yesterday afternoon which cooled the evening off very nicely. Cloudy today with another chance of t-storms later and a high of 90 (cooler than yesterday).
Nothing much on the agenda for today. I seem to fill the days rather quickly with nothing.
It's Thursday already! Have a good one.1 -
Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday (already?)!
Not quite as sticky this morning, but another warm summer day in the works here, with a chance of evening showers.
I have an endocrinologist appointment this morning.

Good morning all.
Raining here this a.m., but looks like it's stopped for now. Not quite as hot today, expected high of 83...cool!
May do some baking this a.m. before the heat rolls in.
Happy Friday, everyone.1 -
Hello,
Hope everyone is doing well! Ed, hope your appt. went well! Vix, wonder what you decided to bake!! Looks like everyone's weather is about the same! It is a little more humid and cloudy today, though a little cooler with the cloud cover.
I did get around to cleaning up some in the yard yesterday with my son. He helped me move my really ratty old couch to the burn pile. That pile was about 6 feet tall and a good circumference. Nothing like 93 degree heat and large flames!! My hose split at a rather awkward time. I had another, but we were really cooking a bit till we fixed that, lol.. And of course, I thanked him by him finding a smaller snake that he ran across when picking up an older pile towards the house. We knew it was not a rattler like last time. I did look it up, and unfortunately it was a chicken, or rat, snake. They are more beneficial and not poisonous. I hate that I think he ate my chipmunk!! have not seen him in a week!! Wanted to be safe as May May is outside a lot. I was originally afraid it was a water moccasin as we have had a lot of rain. So...that was my excitement for that day!!
Today I did get my new couch. It is a light teal and so comfortable to me. I am sure I should have bought a slightly more expensive one to last..But this was so darn comfy I never made it to a better furniture store. Such is life. I guess if it goes, I will just reupholster!
I am off to play with May who has been very good through all these changes, and check on my fire. It is just embers underneath and too late in the day to rekindle. I will wait till the morning, I guess.
Hi Jo and Irene and Sammy!! Everyone take care!! 0 -
good morning, well house breaking is going pretty good we take her out every 20 minutes unless she is sleeping she is a lot of fun but a lot of work take care1

Howdy all y'all. It's sensational Saturday! A little cooler today with a good chance of afternoon or evening rain. It's already a bit sticky out there.
Might get a little laundry done, and then there is an online service for a friend back in Memphis, who died suddenly on Monday. In better times I would have travelled to attend, but they ask that physical attendance be left to close family and caregivers, which will allow room for proper social distancing.
He had a number of health issues, but he will no longer have to suffer with any of those. It's nice that the church will set up an online meeting space so we can all attend without any danger.
