Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 65 degrees and somewhat humid at the time I left for my walk.
Last Night sometime after 10 PM the rain arrived along with Thunder, It was all finished by 11PM
Lest I forget, New Jersey has raised the Motor Fuel tax by another 4.3 cents Monday morning for a second increase in two years
Gas tax collections have fallen behind for two years now, precipitating Gov. Phil Murphy's administration to announce Thursday that it is raising the motor fuel tax 4.3 cents, bringing state taxes on a gallon of gasoline sold in New Jersey to 41.4 cents -- the ninth-highest of any state.
This follows a whopping 23-cent-per-gallon increase passed by the state Legislature and signed into law by then-Gov. Chris Christie in 2016.

Hi VixGood morning.
Roger, the elliptical is sort of a cross between walking and riding a bike. I think it's easier on my hip because there is no leg impact with the ground, and I can limit my time. (Don't have to walk back from where ever I walk to.) My cousin did send me a list of things to do and restaurants, etc.
Irene, knitting is easier for me....I have a hard time crocheting a straight line!
Hi Jo.
Stained glass and clay today. Happy Tuesday.
I do have a elliptical that also can be used as a stationary bike, that I use to get into shape for walking, it has been sitting for the most part and collecting dust since then
I bought it specifically since I figured if I was going to get either one why not get one that can do double duty Beyond that I never went into why it would be better for me. That makes sense to me, this way if You go to far You are home.
I admire anyone that can do either or both of those. I suspect that Darning holes in sock is a lost art with the current prices for socks, I remember my Grandmother darning Grandpa's socks.
WhooHoo, The replacement for My original iPod arrived Yesterday and even now is plugged in and content has been loaded, I am just waiting for it to finish charging.
The form letter which is what the letter looked like, I say form letter as it is headed Dear Apple Customer stated that the one I sent in was toast. In nicer terms of course.
The way they said it was After Thorough Diagnostic testing, it has been determined that a replacement Apple iPod product is necessary. Enclosed you will find the replacement product.
They shipped it standard overnight via FedEx. They got the old one Monday and sent the replacement the same day, Whee. Despite being in a Cardboard box it does appear to be a new one or in as new condition. The Old one suffered a failed port where the charging/Sync cable plugs in. Since I have a spare bought when Apple said they were discontinuing them I was able to keep on walking and listening
Enjoy The classes

Of course she is loving it no plans for today just got back from getting my nails done. Roger they just picked them up from the field so much easier with Annie take care everyone
Congratulations on getting out twice a day. Did You get much rain and Thunder where You are ? The 10:30 PM weather forecast that shows overnight until 5AM showed a lot of weather moving through for much of NJ on the weather radar, I missed seeing if it extended down to where You are, hence the question.
I will admit to loving the overnight temperatures in the extended forecast even if I am not completely happy with the Daytime temps. Yesterday I ran the AC in the Living room when it got past 77 degrees
Easy is good
Have a Nice Day

I wondered if that would be the case, I hate the noise to, It keeps me from sleeping too.
I had expected that the Closing would already be done.
Good Luck

No special plans equals a good day as far as I am concerned, A down day is always good IMO.

Good morning.
Very foggy out this morning. Expected high of 85 with a chance of afternoon t-storms.
Yesterday's weather was gorgeous, and we went for a walk in the park. I'm only walking about half of the trail for now, but it's nice to get out in the fresh air.
Painting class this a.m. I hope I get a chance to paint and not spend the whole time hanging paintings.
Happy Thursday, everyone. 0 -

Good morning.
Cloudy this a.m., sun in the afternoon with a high of 70.
The forecast changed for our vacation, sudden cold spell. It's going to be in the50s and 60s during the day and 30s at night in NM next week...got myself a packable lightweight down coat yesterday.
Still dark out, been up for a while, couldn't sleep. Just have some errands to run today.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 62 degrees and nicely comfortable for my walk.
Apparently there were rain showers around the area in NJ, None at the house OTOH.
On the homeward leg I did see four Deer that due to where I was walking next to a high chain-link fence and homes on the other side of the street I ended up herding them up the road ahead of me.

Excluding the temperature that was our forecast, it missed where I am, other parts of NJ were not so lucky.
Better a half of the trail than no part of the trail.
I hope You painted tooGood morning.
Cloudy this a.m., sun in the afternoon with a high of 70.

Today looks like a nice day ahead for us too.
Hopefully the weather forecasters are as poor predicting the weather there as ours are predicting long term, To put it another way they might as well be using the Farmers Almanac as weather radar, computer models and weather Satellites. The down coat does sound like a good plan for insuring against the chance they are right.
I Have that problem myself, in may case anytime I wake up after 4AM I end up getting up as I have Zero chance of falling asleep.
Have a Nice Day

I have a suspicion losing or gaining depends on where You are and that new hires will mainly be looking at the hourly rate. Will the friends quit, Probably not.
I hope Your cleaning goes well, It is way down on my list of things I want to do.
Have a Good Day

Hi Joanne0 -
good morning, When we went for our walk this morning it was 71 I actually had my walking shorts on . Still waiting on title company to get stuff to my lawyer hopefully soon. My cleaning was fine don't have to go back until April. Roger not sure what my friends are going to do I am sure they all make at least 20.00 an hour so it will be there bonuses and stock that is upsetting to them . You really have to work really hard to keep your job there . I do believe some of them are looking for different jobs. Vix good idea taking a jacket with you.

Either You went out walking later than I did or it was warmer where You are.
$20 is not bad, Are they expecting a increase to that level due to what they are already making ?
I keep seeing news regarding how Amazon works their employees.
Have a productive day at the Hospital, Maybe look at the coupons in the circular for the ShopRite.
The Super Coupons in the ShopRite Flyer, 1 pound of bacon and one pound of butter at $0.99 each. Whole Boneless Pork Loin for $0.99 a pound another great price. Low cost Hamburger which is a somewhat higher price per pound.
Make them worth using. There are other really good prices on the coupons.
I hope that Your title company gets going real quick.
Good Luck
Roger
Hi Vix
Hi Joanne0 -
good morning, Roger we always try to go early for our walks. The weather yesterday was weird it seemed to get colder as the day went on. Well I got a message from my lawyer if the buyer sighed the papers last night then we can close on Wednesday not sure if he did or not so hopefully we will close on Wednesday. No big plans for today George plans on taking care of the leaves that had fallen. hey vix and jo hope you are all doing great0

Good morning.
Another foggy gray a.m. High of 77 expected today. No plans for today. May go to the library, other small errands, maybe a little cleaning...will see what the day brings.
Irene and Roger...you are both doing great with all the walking. It will help keep you healthy, I'm sure.
Hi Jo.
Happy Saturday, everyone. 0 -
Good morning;
Congratulations to you all for getting out and walking. I have not been doing so well. My hip has been acting up. I suspect the muscles are just tight from not being used. My daughter is going to teach me some yoga stretches to see if that helps.
She did well on her first knitting lesson. Yesterday's lesson I taught her how to pearl. She will practice that for the week.
Irene-Keeping my fingers crossed that the closing will take place this week.
Roger-you guessed right, we are planning to go to the UK.
Vix-Do you have any baby things saved from your children? I kept anything hand made or knit
and also my husband made a cradle when my son was born and I have a christening dress that my mother made for my daughter.
Today we are going to SOWA market. We haven't been there since the spring.
Have a good day!
