Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!
We have 20 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 28 and 90% chance of precipitation. I think my joints agree with that forecast.
Great stained glass pieces, Vix!
I see some software changes have posted, so know what I'll be working on this morning!

good morning
Ed, have fun with the software changes, enjoy the warm weather.
Jo, I guess you found some information to wait until they leave. I found these: https://www.peta.org/issues/wildlife/living-harmony-wildlife/raccoons/
https://www.mspca.org/animal_protection/about-raccoons/
Raccoons are scary if they're frightened. We caught one in a trap by mistake when we were trying to get rid of our groundhogs in our old house. It was hard to even release it from the trap. I guess you can scare them out through the window when the time comes.
Hi Irene.
I offered to help the manager of the local Senior Center to start a stained glass class here, so I got some start up information about equipment and costs and sent it to her, so she can look at it and have something to present to the board. It'll be nice if they can do it.
My massage was good yesterday.
It's currently 41F, 5C. A bit cooler today. Cloudy with occasional rain during the afternoon. High 61F, 16C. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
Our housecleaner is coming this a.m., and we'll be picking up our grandson to spend the afternoon with us. 😊
Wishing all an easy Friday. ☁️🌂🌸🪻🌷🍷0 -
good morning
We had a relaxing afternoon with our grandson yesterday and I baked a strawberry swirl cheesecake last night. We are going to our son's house today to celebrate our daughter-in-law and son-in-law's birthdays. (They are 2 weeks apart and we are meeting in the middle.
)
It's currently 54F,12C. Partly cloudy. High 66F, 19C. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph.
Wishing all a wonderful weekend! 🌷🌸🌤️🍷🎂0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 20 (Celsius) partly cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 25 and 2% chance of precipitation.
Despite yesterday's dire forecast (which was technically mostly accurate, at least on the precipitation chance) it was a lovely day, sunny for the majority. The 90% chance of precipitation did manifest, but only in the morning, when it was raining lightly while I finished my breakfast, and again late in the evening with a brief shower around 8:30 p. m. so overall a pretty nice day and not the cloudy, dismal day that I expected.
I'll probably grocery shop today, though I may check the forecast and put that off until tomorrow.
Breakfast was a country fried steak with biscuits and plenty of home made country gravy with just a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to jazz it up and plenty of black pepper.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!
We have a cooler one today. Right now it's raining and 12 degrees Celsius. It's expected to rain most of the day, probably clearing up by 4:00 this afternoon when we may see some sun and a high of 16 Celsius.
A good day to do laundry. I'm sure Dinah will agree.

Good Sunday morning,
Vix i just saw your stain glass really nice do you sell them ?
Hi Ed and Jo0 -
good morning
Thanks, Irene. I mostly put my stained glass up for decoration in my windows and give them as gifts. We are selling some at a local farm around the holidays to support the Senior Center.
Ed, cooler here today too, but yesterday was pretty nice.
Jo, it was wonderful to see everyone. 🎂💗
It's currently 46F, 8C. Partly cloudy skies this morning will become overcast during the afternoon. High around 55F, 13C. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
No special plans for today, will see what the day brings.
Wishing all a peaceful Sunday. 🌥️🕊️🌸🪻🌷0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday!
We have 6 (Celsius) fair degrees (feels like 4) with an expected partly cloudy high of 20 and 1% chance of precipitation.
I got all the laundry done yesterday. Two loads washed, folded, and put away all in the same day. That's rare for me to not leave a load in the dryer for a couple of days.
Plenty of testing and documentation to do today.

Had a quiet day yesterday.
Put a load of laundry in this a.m., will get my exercise done, and we're planning to stay with Maddie this afternoon while my son works from home. She's had a fever on and off the last couple of days (went to urgent care/taking tylenol), and a Dr appt tomorrow.
It's currently 39F, 4C. Sunny to partly cloudy. High 63F, 17C. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.

Vix if you ever decided you are going to sell your stained glass let me know
Hi Ed and Jo

SCAM OF THE WEEK:
Tollway Turmoil
Scams that occur over text messaging are called smishing scams. This week, cybercriminals are using smishing to target motorists. They send a fake text message claiming that you have a toll due for driving on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The toll is not for a large amount, but the message says that if it isn’t paid immediately, you will be charged additional late payment fees.
There is a link in the text message, and you are instructed to tap the link in order to settle your balance. However, the text message is actually from cybercriminals, and if you tap the link, it could take you to a fake payment website. Cybercriminals use fake websites to steal your login credentials, take your money, and install malware on your phone. Always stop and think before you click!
Follow these tips to avoid falling victim to a smishing scam:
Be cautious when making a payment after receiving a text message. You should always visit the official website of the organization to make a payment instead of clicking the link in the message.
Always stop and question if a message is expected prior to taking action. If you have not recently driven on the tollway, receiving a message regarding paying a toll would be very suspicious.
This smishing scam targets drivers on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. But this sort of scam could target tollways in any location.

Good afternoon;
Currently 57F sunny, but chilly.
My landscapers came today and did spring clean up. My yard looks pretty good now, except for the moss. We had so much rain
this winter that there is a lot of moss on the lawn. Within the next few weeks the landscaper will get rid of the moss and then
plant new grass seed. My job now is to keep the flower beds weeded; it is a never ending job.
Vix-I hope Maddie feels better soon.
Irene-Good luck with the weeding.
Ed-I am proud of you for getting all the laundry done in one day.
Have a great week!

good morning
Irene, if there's a special suncatcher you'd like, let me know. I can make one for you. Good luck with the weeding.
Ed, thanks for keeping us up with the scams.
Jo, thanks, Maddie seemed fine yesterday, but not eating very much; glad they have a Dr. appt today. Good luck weeding your flower beds. Interesting that you get moss. Pete puts down a pre-emergent in the lawn which seems to keep a lot of the weeds away. Our grass is growing super fast because of the rain.
Craft day today. I need to start a new stained glass project, and I think I have some glazing to do with the clay.
It was fun staying with Maddie yesterday. She's so sweet. 💗
It's currently 36F, 2C. Plenty of sunshine. High 71F, 22C. Winds SSW at 10 to 15 mph. Lots of swings in the temperature this month!
Wishing all a pleasant Tuesday. 🌞👩🎨🌸🌷

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have 4 (Celsius) sunny, but chilly, degrees with an expected sunny high of 24 and 2% chance of precipitation.
Wow. I just earned the 9th anniversary badge on the myfitnesspal site! Can't believe it's been 9 years on here.
Biscuits and sausage gravy made a lovely, comforting breakfast on this chilly morning.
I've started sharing a new comic strip in the other thread.
Doctor appointment went well this morning. All my bloodwork looked fine.
Documentation and testing await.

Good afternoon,
Currently 60F and sunny. I sat on the deck and read for a while.
Ed-I also earned my 9th year badge. I believe I started on MFP when NS stopped their forums. Congrats on the
good blood work and Dr. visit.
Vix-I am glad Maddie is doing better.
Hi Irene-Are you still going to PT?
Enjoy your evening.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 11 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 24 and 4% chance of precipitation.
More testing awaits, and still some tweaking to the documentation.

Ed, thanks for all the comic strips! Glad your Dr. appt and blood work was good.
Jo, so nice to sit outside and read. 📖😎 I'm glad Maddie's Dr. visit went well. They can increase the density of her formula, and give her more pureed food. She is healthy and growing well.
Irene, I hope your PT is going well.
I cut out a hummingbird in stained glass, and fashioned a flower pot, acorn, mushroom, and the beginnings of a bird house in clay yesterday.
It's currently 57F,14C, mostly cloudy at the moment. Sunshine and clouds mixed. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High near 70F, 21C. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph.
I have an acupuncture appt this morning.
Wishing all a happy 🐪 day. 🌷🌸🌥️🌂0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 11 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 27 and 2% chance of precipitation.
The heat was on when I got up this morning, but the air conditioner will definitely be going later today. Today sounds like pretty much a repeat of yesterday, as far as weather goes.
Not sure how work will be. Jason and one of the programmers are down in South Carolina for a demo today. The software is definitely still a bit fragile but they are not going live with it yet, just a demo to show current progress and iron out some details on what is needed still for the final product, so hopefully it will go well.
I'll be working on documentation and trying to verify any issues they seem to encounter.
Dinner last night was a chicken pot pie, the same kind I had last week. Delicious again. I think I may have found my "go to" frozen pot pie.
Breakfast was some small sausage patties, over easy eggs, and whole wheat, low carb toast with butter and raspberry fruit spread.

Ed, hope you have a productive day. I never really liked writing documentation, but always put in the time to make sure it was accurate and well written. It makes life so much easier for users and future programming.
Ran some errands yesterday. Went to the library and TJ Maxx after acupuncture. Exchanged books and picked up some spices and other little things .
It's currently 45F, 7C. Cloudy skies. High near 55F, 13C. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph. Definitely chillier than yesterday, which was a nice Springlike day.
I may make some coleslaw today. Haven't had that in a while. Will see what the day brings.
Wishing all a pleasant Thursday. 👩🏻🍳☁️🌸🌳

good morning,
I have pt today it seems to be helping. I go 2 days a week.
I made an eye appt. It has been a couple of years since my last one.
Yesterday it got to 73 sure was warm.
Vix I am thinking for Christmas do you do anything like that?
Take care everyone0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday!
We have 14 (Celsius) partly cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 24 and 34% chance of precipitation.
Jason may spend some time in the main office today before driving home from South Carolina.
Biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast.

Irene, glad you PT is going well. I mostly make small suncatchers or they can be used for tree ornaments. Tree, Santa face, wise men, depends on what you'd like, I can probably find or make a pattern for it.
Ed, I'm sure it'll be nice to have Jason back.
I was invited to the volunteer luncheon today at the Westminster Senior Center (for running the clay group), should be fun with a few friends there.
It's currently 46F, 8C. Mainly sunny to start, then a few afternoon clouds. High 64F, 18C. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 16 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 25 and 3% chance of precipitation. Being cloudy it feels like a stronger chance, but we'll see.
Probably heading out for groceries today, and have Jason's trip laundry to fold. I washed it and started it in the dryer last night.
Otherwise, nothing really critical on today's to do list.

Good morning;
Currently 46F with a high of 71F.
Yesterday my daughter and I went to a Japanese festival. It was fun to see the different costumes and all the young adults
dressed as their favorite animae characters.
Today we are power washing the front stairs and the white trim around the doors and garage and the walkway.
Have a great day! 0 -

I was up late and didn't sleep well, but the cats rather ungraciously let me sleep in, mostly because I simply ignored them trying to get me up and about. I mentally promised Dinah that I would get up at 9:00 so that I would be awake enought to feed them at 9:30 and managed to keep that promise. So I'm still working on my tea, after a quick, light breakfast for myself and then feeding the cats.
I may get back out to Kroger today for something, but probably not. And it should be no surprise to anyone that there is still a dryer full of laundry to fold. LOL.
Dinner last night was super lazy. I had some warmed up meatballs, and baked beans and for Jason I made air fried steak cut fries from the freezer and he had baked beans too. I didn't really cook anything, it was all just heating things up. Even the dessert of tiny chocolate pie tarts was just pulled from the freezer and warmed up briefly in the microwave.
I might get to that laundry later. Might take a nap...
