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

    We have 20 (C) mostly cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 27 and 85% chance of precipitation that could include thunderstorms.

    I am expecting to test some (hopefully) final tweaks to our latest software product today. Still laundry to fold.

    good morning
    Jo, that's a lot of work on that rug! I just have a few throw rugs in my house, mostly wood floors. They are easier to clean. I'm really happy about the hairdresser. It's hard to find one that does well with curly hair.
    Ed, thanks for keeping us up on the scams. You are funny with your laundry. I really don't mind folding (except for fitted sheets)! πŸ˜‚
    I picked up a few things I needed at Walmart yesterday, and foiled some pieces of glass. My daughter and family stopped by for a little while in the evening.
    No stained glass class this a.m., but I do have clay group in the afternoon.
    It's currently 66F, 19C. Sun and clouds mixed. High 86F, 30C. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph. Summer.
    Wishing all a pleasant Tuesday. Stay cool. πŸŒ€οΈπŸ•ŠοΈπŸŒΊπŸ˜ŽπŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸŽ¨

    Worked on glazing some clay pieces yesterday, and put them in for a kiln fire.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!

    We have 22 (C) cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 29 and 36% chance of precipitation.

    Still laundry to fold. Not sure what will be hot today on the work front but know of at least a few things to be tested and discussed.

    I wish we had room for a pool, but with our back yard pool maintenance would be a nightmare anyway.

    Good afternoon;
    Currently 83F and sunny. We had a few sprinkles this morning.
    I had the septic system pumped this morning. It was a good timing. If we had waited a few more
    months, we probably would have problems.
    My coffee maker decided to stop working mid brew. I went out and got a new one after work.
    I also made lemon poppyseed muffins.
    Have a nice day and stay cool! :)

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

    We have 20 (C) mostly cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 29 and 64% chance of precipitation. Right now the birds are singing merrily in the hedge.

    Discussion of my observations with a few items went well yesterday. One of the programmers is finding it a bit sticky to program one change but he may have resolved that by now. I'll see if there is anything for me to pull down this morning.

    Breakfast was buttermilk biscuits (Pillsbury Grands) from the freezer through the air fryer oven, with a dab of butter each and a bit of strawberry jam. For meat, 4 sausage links, from the freezer through the microwave. All about convenience this morning.

    Supper last night was somewhat convenient, since the main course was slow cooked through the afternoon. Chicken thighs in a creamy Marsala wine and mushroom gravy, served over mashed potatoes, with kitchen cut green beans on the side.

    Nice that you were able to use your pool, Irene. Hope the PT is going well.
    Jo, I'm glad we're on city sewer now. Lemon poppyseed muffins are delicious.
    Ed, sounds like work is humming along. Your meals always sound yummy.
    We had a lot of downpours/T-storms yesterday, and tornedo warnings, but all is well.
    It's currently 72F, 22C. Light rain this morning with thunderstorms developing for the afternoon. High 82F, 28C.. Winds WSW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 80%.

    good morning
    We had more tornado warnings yesterday, but again just some rain storms. I see that on Wednesday there were a lot of tornados, and lots of damage about 15 miles south of us. Guess we dodged that bullet.
    It's currently 67F,19C. Mainly sunny to start, then a few afternoon clouds. High 81F, 27C. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph.
    No special plans for today. Will see what the day brings.

    Currently 73F with a high of 79.
    Vix-you were lucky that the tornado's steered clear of you.
    Hi Ed and Irene.
    I did laundry, change the bedding, went grocery shopping and am now making apricot jam.
    After that I plan to sit on the deck and read.
    Enjoy your day! :)

    good morning all
    Hi Irene.
    Ed, hope you're enjoying the sunny weather, and can relax this weekend.
    Jo, we are lucky so far with the weather. Yum, apricot jam! Are you recommending any books? I just finished 'Sipsworth', an odd sort of book, but I mostly enjoyed it. Before that I read 'Iona Iverson's rules for Commuting'. Both were about older women, and connecting to the world around them.
    We picked Will up from preschool yesterday afternoon, which is always a treat. πŸ’— 5 year old boys are so imaginative.
    I did some laundry and moved some of my coleus plants outside. They were starting to take over our morning room!
    It's currently 66F, 19C. A good deal of sunshine. High 83F, 28C. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.
    I have some cleaning to do, that I didn't get around to yesterday. And the sun is shining today, so will spend some time outdoors.
    Wishing all a splendid Saturday and a happy weekend. πŸŒžπŸŒžπŸŒžπŸŒΊπŸ•ŠοΈ

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

    We have 21 (C) sunny degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 31 and 1% chance of precipitation.

    There is another pool party today but I don't think I am going. I need a quieter, less hectic weekend. They'll just have to do without my baked beans this time.

    I do still have laundry to fold, and I might go shopping for groceries but may leave the groceries for tomorrow.

    Good evening;
    Currently 73F and breezy. We had a rain shower this afternoon.
    I am sad to say that Sophie passed away this morning. She was fine yesterday, so it came as a
    shock.
    Ed-I hope you get your laundry folded this weekend.

    I did not sleep well last night and swear I heard thunder, but not very close. At any rate, I'm up and I guess ready to get ready for work. LOL.

    I didn't sleep well last night either. Oh well.
    Our daughter and granddaughter stopped by for a few minutes yesterday, always good to see our beautiful girls. Enjoyed some sunshine out on the patio. Checked on the coleus I put outside, gave them some water.
    It's currently 64F, 18C. Sunshine to start, then a few afternoon clouds. High 77F, 25C. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

    SCAM OF THE WEEK:
    Malware Office Suite

    β€œYou get what you pay for,” and this week’s scam is no exception. Cybercriminals are distributing a β€œfree” pirated version of Microsoft Office across torrenting websites. The catch is that it’s actually malware. If you download and install it, the malware can begin harvesting your personal data.

    If you download the malicious Microsoft Office file, the installation process appears to be legitimate. The installer looks professional and even allows you to select the version of Microsoft Office you would like to install. However, if you run the file, malware will install on your computer. The malware is designed to avoid detection from most antivirus systems. Even if your antivirus software scans and removes it, this particular malware can re-install itself afterward. This β€œfree” version of Microsoft may actually cost you something after all - your personal data!

    Follow these tips to avoid falling victim to a malware scam:

    Never download software from unofficial sources. A pirated version of the software isn’t an official release, and it may contain malware.

    If something is too good to be true, it probably is. Microsoft Office is a software that you would normally pay for, and a free version isn’t likely to be legitimate.
    Be sure to follow your organization’s instructions regarding antivirus software and data backups. Having updated software and data backups can help to protect your machine from a malware infection.

    Stop, Look, and Think. Don't be fooled.

    My son and daughter-in-law will be here in 15 days. I can't wait to see them.
    My rhododendron's are all dropping their blooms. They look so pretty when fully bloomed.
    My daylillies are just starting to bloom.

    There are angels at McDonald's.

    I didn't have time for lunch before my 1:00 periodontal exam, but figured my breakfast would last me until I could get a late lunch after.

    All the same, I had intended to bring some glucose tablets with me, but forgot.

    I was fine, until, while sitting at McDonald's, waiting for my food, I started feeling a glucose crash starting.

    Knowing that the food I had ordered wasn't going to kick in very fast, I was going to see if there was a packet of sugar or something in the drink area.

    BUT, I didn't need to. The guy who brought my meal, brought with it the little tub of pancake syrup that someone had used to hold my ticket down in the back.

    The syrup didn't fit with the meal at all, but I just slurped that down, then ate my double cheeseburger and fries and was fine. πŸ™‚

    Irene, hope your PT is going well and you're enjoying your pool.
    Ed, nice story. I do believe sometimes angels, in whatever form, give us a little help when we need it.
    Jo, I'm so happy for you that your son and daughter-in-law are visiting! Yay!
    Our rhododendrons have been and gone, but we have so many things blooming now. We have roses, lilies, periwinkle, astilbe, dogwood, spirea, butterfly bushes, butterfly weed, clematis, daisies.
    We watched Will and Lilly for a few hours last night. They are so much fun. πŸ’—

    Hi Jo.
    Irene, I know PT gets tiring after a while. I have printouts of several different exercise routines they gave me that I rotate through at home, so I'm not doing the same thing all the time. Glad you're enjoying the pool. I'm sure it's refreshing in this heat!
    Ed, sounds like work is keeping you busy.
    I have a massage appt this morning. I'm sure it'll be great. I promised her a cheesecake recipe long ago and kept forgetting to bring it, so this morning, I put a copy in my purse.
