    I did post more new humor today, already

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking with two cents found. The Temperature out the door was 74 degrees and was not comfortable while walking despite the light breeze due to the Humidity :(

    Hi Vix
    I recall that medicare pays for one wellness check a year so a 1 year separation makes sense for Your insurance.

    I heard rain go through twice last night when I was awake in the middle of the night, Possibly more. It had not rained before I retired for the night.

    Today is supposed to be drier, just more humid.

    I hope all went well yesterday

    Hi Irene
    Welcome to NJ, the land of many regulations, some of which even make sense.

    I agree, Yesterday was great weather for walking, I went further than I have been going for much of the summer it was so comfortable.

    The CO does not surprise me, The Fire one sort of does. Do You have to do a Radon test too ? I know my brothers both went through that when they sold their house. I was surprised when I saw on a TV show that well water needs to be tested and often mitigated for Radon. Your house in Trenton should at least be free of that as I am sure it is on City Water.

    Good Luck

    Good morning.
    We had some big t-storms last night....lots of rain and lightning. High of 83 today and partly cloudy.
    I'm off to get a shot in my hip this morning. Hope that helps. The epidurals didn't. Keeping my fingers crossed.
    I guess in MD , the realtors guide most of what has to be done, like the inspections. They're more expensive than lawyers! Good luck wih everything, Irene.
    Anyway, happy Wednesday, everyone. :)

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking no cents. The Temperature out the door was 68 degrees and was comfortable while walking due to the light breeze.

    The Lincoln Tunnel, which brings 200,000 passengers by car and bus from New Jersey to New York City each day, is in a decrepit state, as are the highways that lead to it.

Roughly 42 percent of New Jersey’s roads remain deficient, costing each state driver an estimated $1,951 annually in lost time, according to a 2016 report from the American Association of Civil Engineers.

    Hi Vix
    No ill effects from the weather in Your area I hope.

    When buying a home a good inspection is worth every penny.

    Hopefully the Shot works, Constant pain is debilitating.

    The weather this morning while walking was great, I could see that there had been some rain, whether it was only from yesterday evenings rain or more overnight I'm not sure. It looks dry outside, OTOH I do see a few drops on the windows have now appeared. I may run to the Grocery Store later, that sort of depends on the weather as nothing is critical so if it does rain I will avoid driving in it.

    Have a Good Day, Good Luck with the shots results

    Hi Irene
    Congratulations on Your find.
    $200, It could be worse :wink:

    I'm sorry to hear about George

    You are so nice doing that.

    City water is best IMO in most areas of the State.

    I did indeed post new humor already, Enjoy

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking no cents. The Temperature out the door was 62 degrees and is now down to 60 degrees, it was comfortable while walking due to the the great temperature.

    Today's to do list is sort the socks from the other days laundry. The only reason I need to sort is that despite looking the same when worn some pairs are shorter than the others :blush: I thought I had bought all the same ones, Oops :(
    What else, Shower, maybe vacuum the living room and of course eat :wink:

    I did a quick run to the ShopRite yesterday and Picked up some really nice looking Baked Ham Ends at a good price and unusually for the foods in the ends section these are nice looking slices that will work well in a sandwich. Not to mention some real end cuts of Provolone and White American cheese that I may shred into the baked ham Sandwiches when I make them. I was early enough that they had just started to put out the Hot food bar items so I avoided that. Sadly the Siren call of two slices of Carrot Cake got me, Dang it, no won't buy power. I also picked up two 50% of prepared salads, One Chef and one Garden Salad.

    When I did the Grocery Store Run yesterday outbound I had to swerve over to the curb to avoid some blind person driving that pulled out of a side street from the oncoming side of the road, I swear they never saw me and a Buick Century is not that small :( Then on the return to the house after studiously avoiding Buying French Fries and or Onion Rings at the Burger King another moronic driver, They must have gotten their drivers licenses from either a box of Cracker Jacks or a online Diploma Mill.

    They eat more of the things in the garden before they are ripe or grown than we get, I do not want to be growing deer food, only People food.

    I'm guessing You went walking :wink:

    Good morning.
    Maryland is 8th in wedding costs. My son and his fiance have narrowed it down to 2 places. I think the future in-laws need to check out the 2nd one and then decide. I remember when we were looking at places for my daughter's wedding, there was a wide range of options, barns to fancy hotels, golf clubs, wineries, etc. I think they'll keep it modest (like we did).
    Sunny with a high of 82 today. The morning is nice and cool. Have to go to an imaging center this morning....after that I'm free. I have a big bruise where I got the shots in my hip. The leg seems a little better, but I'm not ready for long walks yet.
    Happy Friday, everyone. :)
