    Good morning,
    Irene-I haven't heard from Mike.
    It is cloudy here with a chance of rain.
    My car battery was dead when I went to go out yesterday. Hubby charged the battery and put in some water when he got home from work.
    Today I forgot my grocery list, so went from memory, I now have to go back to the store to get half of the items that were on my list.
    I hope you all have a better day than me. :#

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!

    We have 20 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 27 and 9% chance of precipitation.

    I need to get out this weekend for groceries and cat needs. Some of that may be today.

    Irene, I sent an email of inquiry to Mike on Wednesday after not hearing from him since the Saturday before. Got no answer. I would have to agree that he's probably back in the hospital. I have been periodically checking obituary information for the area, and the site has not had any information on an obituary for a Mike (or Michael) Torre.

    good morning
    I hope Mike is ok.
    Irene, have you tried puppy raincoat and boots?
    Ed, enjoy the weekend. Are you getting storms?
    Jo, good that hubby is handy and could fix your battery. I hope your day gets better.
    My massage was nice, I'm so lucky to get them. Unfortunately, my house cleaner got sick, so she had to cancel. Hopefully she'll be better by next week and able to come then. In the meantime, I'll do some light maintenance cleaning.
    It rained all day yesterday. It's currently 53F, 12C. Cloudy. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 69F. Winds light and variable.
    I got one of the scam window virus alerts today that kind of locked everything up. I had to use task manager to close my browser. I ran my Norton virus scan and cleared my cache, rebooted, and everything came up ok. I truly hate scammers!

    It's raining, it's pouring! It's currently 57F, 14C. Potential for heavy rainfall, with a marginal risk of severe weather. High near 60F, 16C. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.
    Wishing all a peaceful Sunday.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous, soggy Sunday!

    We have 14 (Celsius) rainy degrees (feels like 13), but this batch of rain is expected to end in about an hour. All the same I'm glad I got most of my shopping done yesterday. Nothing that is still on the list is critical, so I don't have to get out today if I don't want to. The expected high is 21 under overcast skies with 85% chance of rain. It was nice all day yesterday, but I woke to rain this morning. No storms in the immediate forecast, so that's good.

    I had noticed that it was getting very overcast as I returned from my second trip yesterday, late in the afternoon. My early afternoon trip was for cat supplies and food, some specialty wine, and then to Lidl for a few items I can only find there.

    I came home, put all that away, and had some late lunch to recharge, then went to a different liquor store for a wine tasting in their next door annex (very nice) and a couple of purchases in the store later, I crossed the parking lot to Kroger and picked up the rest of the critical items. What's left on the list are Kroger items too, but it's looking like our Kroger may not carry them anymore, so if I go out today, it will be to a more distant Kroger to see if they carry the items. Maybe Kroger stopped making them (Private Select Kroger items), but I hope not. In the interval, I did get one each of some possible alternates to try, none of which are specifically Kroger items.

    If I do go to the more distant Kroger, I can stop by Tuesday Morning if they are open and grab a couple of items there too.

    Good Sunday morning,
    well it started to rain again but we did get a walk we were home maybe 5 minutes when it started again.
    Raincoats don't help she shakes and gets really scared she hides in one of our smaller bathrooms. Which is ok she likes it because its dark in there I always keep an eye on here.
    Praying Mike is ok.
    Take care

    Good morning;
    We have rain and more rain coming our way.
    Nothing on the agenda for today.
    I just finished reading The 18th abduction by James Patterson.
    As for leaving my oven racks in the grass overnight, I still had to use a brillo pad to scrub them. I think this was a fail.
    Have a pleasant day and stay dry. :)

    Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday!

    We have 8 (Celsius) clear degrees (feels like 6) with an expected sunny high of 19 and 1% chance of precipitation.

    I did get out to the more distant Kroger yesterday. Tuesday Morning was open, but didn't have what I was wanting there, but Kroger did at least have one of the Private Select items that I was searching for, as well as snack items similar to what I had been hoping to find at Tuesday Morning. Of course, Kroger didn't have the towel I was looking for at Tuesday Morning, but that wasn't critical.

    I also picked up some Indian heat and eat items for Sunday lunch. I had Chicken Tikka Masala and J had potato and cauliflower curry, like Aloo Ghobi, but maybe a bit saucier.

    Back to work today.

    good morning
    Ed, those Indian meals sound yummy. And the wine tasting must have been fun. Our nearby Tuesday Morning closed a few years ago. You make shopping sound like an adventure! ;)
    Irene, poor Sammie. It's good that you know what calms her down.
    Jo, it's been raining a lot here too. I didn't know how that grass trick was going to work. Luckily, my racks get clean when I turn on the self clean for my oven, just have to wipe everything down when it's done. The last 2 books I read were Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun by Elle Cosimano (it is the 3rd in a series, sort of like Janet Evanovitch novels) and Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner, which was getting a lot of hype. She's a singer and it was autobiographical mostly about her feelings after her mother's death. I wouldn't really recommend it, I thought it dragged.
    It's currently 47F, 8C. A mix of clouds and sun this morning followed by increasing clouds with showers developing this afternoon. High 57F,14C. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph.
    Another new week, wishing everyone a good one.

    SCAM OF THE WEEK:

    Linktree Link Scam

    Linktree is a landing page service where businesses and individuals can list multiple links on one page. This service is often used on social media for quick and easy access to multiple webpages. However, cybercriminals can also use Linktree to host malicious links to try to steal your personal information.

    In a recent scam, you get a notification that a file has been shared with you by someone you know, but it’s actually a cybercriminal in disguise. This notification prompts you to open the file through a link. If you click the link, you’ll be redirected to a legitimate Linktree page that contains a fake Microsoft 365 link. This link will take you to a login page that prompts you to enter your Microsoft credentials. Once you share this information, cybercriminals can use it for their malicious purposes.

    Follow the tips below to stay safe from similar scams:
    • Never click a link or download an attachment in an email that you weren’t expecting.
    • Be cautious before you enter your online credentials. Verify that the login page is safe and legitimate.
    • Make sure that the sender is actually who they say they are. If the sender claims to be someone you know, reach out to them in person or by phone to verify.

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!

    We have 9 (Celsius) sunny degrees (feels like 8) with an expected windy/breezy high of 21 and 2% chance of precipitation.

    As the project gets more complete, I am finding some newly written bugs so work has been interesting, to say the least.

    Turkey sausage links and Kodiak protein waffles for breakfast, with a drizzle of real maple syrup.

    We have 8 (Celsius) sunny degrees (feels like 7) with an expected sunny high of 21 and 1% chance of precipitation.

    Not sure how today will go, as it's looking like a good chunk will be spent in team meetings. Maybe I should line up some quiet snacks to have by my side.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!

    We have 6 (Celsius) clear degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 23 and 10% chance of precipitation.

    I woke up to the heat kicking on in the house.

    Not sure what will be the priority today at work. A little support work got tossed at us this week. I wrote a short SQL script to take care of one of the problems the client was having, but the other will require a bit of work from the programmers.

    Irene, I think we're mostly done with the rain until next Tuesday, anyway the sun is out this morning. Yay!
    Jo, I hope you like your new hairdo. It'll be nice to get your permanent cap. Yay!
    Ed, it's starting to warm up a little here. Work sounds busy.
    It's currently41F, 5C. So nice to see some sun! Partly to mostly cloudy. Slight chance of a rain shower. High near 60F, 16C. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
    Our housecleaner is coming today and I have some errands to run.
    Wishing all a pleasant Thursday.

    Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday and Cinco de Mayo!

    We have 12 (Celsius) clear degrees with an expected high of 19 under overcast skies and 24% chance of precipitation.

    We spent all day yesterday chasing numbers for a program change request, but at the end of the day think the program changes updated for the request were correct, and I'm ready to move on from that one.

    It's currently 41F, 5C. Sunshine and a few clouds. High 66F, 19C. Winds light and variable. It's so nice to see the sunshine!!!
    TJMaxx has member mornings this weekend, so may go in early and look around.
    Also probably a good day to spend some time outdoors.

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!

    We have 16 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected high of 24 and 15% chance of rain. I need a few things from the grocery stores so will probably get out for that after I feed the cats.

    The dishwasher is running now. I finished off the box of Kodiak no sugar added multigrain protein flapjack/waffle mix this morning for a delicious breakfast of pancakes, some with a drizzle of syrup and some with a dab of strawberry/prickly pear fruit spread.

    The cats are giving me the stink eye so I think it's time to feed them.

    good morning
    The weather was beautiful yesterday. Happily spent some time outdoors.
    I sprayed some peppermint spray around the garden and the foundation for our house. It's supposed to discourage rodents, spiders, and ants. We'll see.
    We're getting together with family later this a.m. to celebrate our son-in-law's birthday and an early Mother's day. Always great to spend time with family.
    It's currently 51F, 11C. A mix of clouds and sun this morning followed by increasing clouds with showers developing this afternoon. High 77F, 25C. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.
    Wishing all a peaceful, enjoyable Sunday.

    Good afternoon,
    Vix-Happy birthday to your son-in-law. Let me know how the peppermint spray works.
    Hi Ed and Irene
    Yesterday was a beautiful day. My daughter and I went into Boston and spent the day.
    Today I am puttering around the yard. It is 76F and sunny.
    Have a relaxing day! :)

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!

    We have 17 (Celsius) mostly cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 28 and 44% chance of precipitation, starting very shortly. My headache agrees with the forecast.

    We planted some tomatoes (Roma and mixed heirloom tomatoes) and peppers (jalapeño and mixed colors of bell pepper) last night in our container garden. J did water the containers, but a bit more rain today won't hurt anything.

    Dinah and I got the whites folded yesterday but the rest is still in the dryer as it was late and I was ready for bed.

    good morning
    Jo, it's so nice that you get to spend time with your daughter. Seems you are enjoying your retirement.
    I'll let you know about the peppermint, though it's hard to tell if it's keeping something away. I just like the idea that's it's safe and natural. I will probably reapply it in a week or so.
    Ed, tomatoes and peppers are good! Our yard is small and pretty much filled up with trees and flowers. I put some mint in a pot. It was spreading wildly in our yard and hubby pulled most of it out, but I wanted to keep some. It would be nice to grow some herbs that I could keep in pots.
    Irene, how's it going?
    Our family celebration yesterday was wonderful. I am happiest surrounded by family. (I made red velvet cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Yum.)
    It's currently 57F, 14C. Partly cloudy. High 76F,24C. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
    Wishing all a fine new week.
