good morning
Thanks for the continuing spam info, Ed. Your beef sterw looks great. We ended up going out last night, and I had a Reuben on black rye. Delicious, and I have half left to take with me for lunch today. 😋
Hi Jo and Irene.
It's currently 47F, 8C. Plenty of sunshine. High 68F, 20C. Winds light and variable. Beautiful, crisp morning!
I'm off to craft day in a few minutes.
Wishing all a fine Tuesday. 🍂🍎☕🕊️0 -
Good afternoon;
Currently 62F and sunny, what a beautiful day. I puttered in the yard for a while.
Ed-Your beef stew looks yummy.
Vix-I like corned beef, but have never eaten a Reuben.
Hi Irene.
Have a great evening.

hi everyone,
been busy had our carpets cleaned today wow they look so nice.
Ed your stew looked really good.
vix I don't think I ever had corned beef.
Jo it was a beautiful day0 -
good morning all
Irene and Jo, it depends on where you get your corned beef or your Reuben sandwich. The best is when it's lean (fatty or too salty/spicy corned beef is awful!) The place we went makes a great sandwich, no fat on the corned beef, meat not too spicy or salty, not too much sauerkraut or dressing, a bit of melted Swiss, and the dark rye bread was delicious too. It's a treat for me.
It's currently 48F, 9C. Sunny. High 68F, 20C. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.
I have a few errands to run today.
Wishing all a happy 🐪 day. ☕🍂🌞🕊️0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 15 (C) sunny degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 26 and 2% chance of precipitation.
Another lovely day in the works.
My cousins in Florida have safely evacuated to safer ground and should be OK. I have one friend in St. Petersburg who has decided to sit it out, and I wish him and his cats luck.
We have friends that we haven't heard from since Helene, and we hope that they are OK.
Vix, I love a good reuben sandwich and usually construct at least one from leftover St. Patrick's day corned beef.
Dinner last night was bean and vegetable soup with mini garlic baguettes. I wanted a break from stew. Breakfast was leftover stew and if I have stew for lunch that will be the fourth and final bowl from that batch.
Back to work.

Ed, I hope all your friends and family are ok.
It's currently 44F, 7C. Plentiful sunshine. High 62F, 17C. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Not much planned for today, will see what the day brings.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 13 (C) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 24 and 2% chance of precipitation.
I stepped out to put something in the garbage bin and was delighted by the cool temperature. It was a bit humid but it was that time of the morning for all the dew to be getting into the air.
Another day, another dollar. Yesterday was international beer and pizza day. I don't drink beer really, but we did order pizza.
Another day, another dollar.

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!
We have 10 (C) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 24 and 2% chance of precipitation.
Another lovely fall day here in Peachtree Corners, GA.
Jason is taking the day off and is planning on taking a short road trip to see family, and they are planning a post-birthday dinner in a small town in Tennessee since he wasn't in Kentucky for his 50th birthday. He is taking his big red motorcycle, but coming back on his smaller black one that his brother in law will be driving to the meet up, as it is not holding a charge well and he has a trickle charger here he can use for it until he can have it looked at, if necessary, at a dealer here.
He is planning to come back tomorrow on the black bike.
Our demo to the big boss went fairly well yesterday, and progress continues with the current project.

It's currently 45F, 7C. Plentiful sunshine. High 68F, 20C. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Ed, safe travels to Jason. I'm enjoying the bit of chill in the air too.
I made a tofu, sweet potato, onion and red pepper sheet pan recipe yesterday. It was pretty good, but probably better as a side dish. I'll probably make some butternut squash soup this afternoon. Autumn food!
Our housecleaner is coming today, and I have an acupuncture appt.
Wishing all an easy Friday. ☕🍎🍂🌞🕊️0 -
Good morning;
It is currently53F with a high of 66F, another beautiful day.
I am cooking lamb shanks and polenta for dinner tonight. We only have this a few times a year, so it is a treat.
Charlie is out getting a haircut and when he comes back we will probably start to burn all the dead branches that
we cut from our trees.
Wishing everyone a pleasant weekend.

good morning,
going out to lunch with a girlfriend0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 10 (C) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 26 and 2% chance of precipitation.
I hope the weather is great for your lunch, Irene!
Nothing critical on the agenda today. Dinah insisted I get up at 7:39. It was necessary. She will be fed about 9:30, as always, but I had to get on up, despite it being Saturday.
That's OK really. I'll just have more hours of daylight to enjoy. I may just get out for groceries or something. I'll decide later.
Dinah has found a new morning hidey hole.

good morning
Jo, lamb shanks and polenta sounds delicious. Can't remember the last time we had lamb. Time for Fall tasks. The town picked up all of our yard waste bags last week, and we've started new ones.
Irene, always fun to go out to lunch with a friend.
Ed, Dinah is pretty too. She looks cozy, and also like she's waiting not so patiently for breakfast. 😼 Looks like a nice day outside.
It's currently 60F, 16C. A good deal of sunshine. Warm. High 76F, 24C. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
No special plans for today, may start trying to figure out what clothes to bring on vacation.
I took some coleus clippings from outside yesterday to grow over the winter. They always get so much healthier outdoors. I have a pineapple to cut up and use before we go too, better do that this morning.
Wishing all a great weekend. 🌞🍂🍎☕🍷🕊️

J is back with the other motorcycle. We went out to Culvers last night for dinner.
Breakfast was biscuits and hot sausage gravy.
I need to get out for a few groceries today. Nothing else critical on the agenda.

Hi Jo.
Irene, the trees here are starting to turn colors now too, mostly the maples first.
Ed, good that Jason got back safely on the bike that needs to be fixed.
It's currently 53F,12C. Sunny. Very warm. High 81F, 27C. Winds SSW at 10 to 20 mph. Lots of change in the weather this coming week!
I'm doing some laundry and maybe will start to get things together for our trip, leaving Tuesday a.m.
Wishing all a relaxing, peaceful Sunday. 🍎🍂☕🌞🍷🕊️0 -
Good afternoon;
It is currently 58F with intermittent rain.
Ed-I am glad Jason made it back safely.
Irene-the trees are starting to turn here also. I love all the fall colors.
Vix-have a great vacation.
I dropped my i pad on the tile floor this morning and shattered the screen. It is old and I have been having troubling
updating it, so I decided to just buy a new one.
Have a good afternoon.0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
We have 17 (C) fair, mostly sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of only 20 and 2% chance of precipitation.
I decided to try something completely new to us, and somewhat different, and made French onion noodles, with no meat, and an Asian twist. I added soy sauce, sriracha, and sweet Thai chili sauce to the sauce. It turned out quite tasty. I know French onion usually has beef broth in it but not this one, since I was making it to share with Jason. I sprinkled a bit of French fried onion on top of each serving.
I was inspired by a recipe that came up somehow on the internet, for French onion noodles with beef, and thought that sounded good, so decided to come up with my own meatless version.
We both liked it so it may show up on the table again sometime. Jason said he could smell it in the living room while I was cooking and it smelled great, but he had no idea what I was up to in there. It was one of those nights where I walked into the kitchen with no idea what I was going to make and decided to use that idea because it sounded good.
Breakfast was a cheeseburger and a banana. But not a banana cheeseburger, though I wouldn't be surprised if someone has actually made that somewhere, sometime.
The dishwasher is running. and it's work time.

Hi Irene.
Jo, thanks, looking forward to the vacation, leaving tomorrow a.m. Hope you like your new iPad.
Ed, your onion noodle dish sounds good. I've been reading that it's very healthy to eat vegan meals.
We had chicken burgers and gluten free pasta last night.
It's currently 60F, 16C. A mix of clouds and sun with gusty winds. High 63F, 17C. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph. It looks really windy out!
Definitely have to get my things ready today for our vacation. I have a massage scheduled for this morning. That's about it. Don't think there's anything else I have to do.
Wishing all a bright shiny new week! ⛅🌟🍂🍎☕🍷🕊️0 -
Scam of the Week
Hurricane Scams
Scammers will frequently use high-profile events, such as natural disasters, to try to trick you. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in the United States, scammers have wasted no time in turning this situation to their advantage. They've been using AI to generate fake images that play on your emotions, to get you to donate your money to help people who have been affected by the disaster. Recently, an image of a scared little girl holding a puppy and being evacuated from a flood area has been circulating on Facebook and other social media.
However, this image is fake. The scammers are trying to trick you into clicking a link to "donate" to a fake relief effort or to steal your personal information. In either case, their goal is to get you to act impulsively. If you donate money or enter any personal information, it will not help any victims who were impacted by the hurricane. However, it will help the scammers steal your money and your data!
Follow these tips to avoid falling victim to a hurricane scam:
Be wary of AI-generated images. Look for signs that an image might be fake, such as unusual details or inconsistencies. Make sure that the charity you’re donating to is legitimate. Only donate through the official websites of well-known charitable organizations. Don't act impulsively. Take time to research before donating or clicking on links, especially in the aftermath of a disaster.

Good afternoon;
Vix-Enjoy your vacation.
Hi Irene and Ed.
It is currently 54F and sunny.
After the wind and rain for the last 2 day, I had a lot of twigs to pick up in the backyard.
I had to turn the heat on this weekend. I usually try to hold off until November.
Have a good evening.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 5 (C) sunny degrees (feels like 3) with an expected sunny high of only 16 (61 F) and 2% chance of precipitation.
Sounds like a WONDERFUL day. We may get out today to line up for early voting. We'll decide later.

Good evening;
It is currently 54F, sunny and breezy, all in all a good day.
Ed-Good that you are getting voting done early.
Hi Irene and Vix.
Sam used the cat box for the first time yesterday. I bought one of those small disposable ones and put it in the
downstairs bathroom. She also used the cat door that goes from our kitchen to an enclosed breezeway. She seems to
be getting more comfortable in her new surroundings. Hubby also installed a motion sensor that blinks when she
is at the door, so we can let her in.
Have a great evening! 0 -

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 3 (C) clear degrees with an expected sunny high of 18 and 2% chance of precipitation. We have a frost advisory. We moved all the delicate plants into the garage last night, right after I got off work. That was a chore.
After we moved the plants (which also entailed rearranging the garage) I went out and picked up burgers and fries at BurgerFi. A VeggieFi burger for Jason and a Junior Rodeo for me, and a large order of fries that I ate about, maybe, a third of. Jason had requested burger and fries because he was craving potatoes. He still had some office work to do so just came out of his office long enough to get his food and then took it back to his office to eat while working.
I had mine at the kitchen table, after Dina sniffed the plate of food and I chased her off the table. I'm pretty sure the hot jalapeno pepper slices on the burger would have turned her off anyway, but she might have wanted a French fry. But she didn't get anything from my plate other than the aroma. LOL.
I got a lot closed out at work yesterday and wrote up a few new bug tickets. We'll see what today brings. We did not end up getting out to vote yesterday, but maybe today!

Good morning;
It is currently 52F and sunny.
Ed-will you leave the plants in the garage for the winter? Do they do well in the garage?
Hi Irene.
The landscapers came today and aerated the lawn and put down some grass seed.
I worked an hour and a half overtime today. I am now ready to relax for a bit before I tackle some
housework.
Have a great day!

We do leave them in the garage. We have some full spectrum lighting out there and they generally winter over well, as long as we remember to water them now and then. One plant lives in the hall bathroom for the winter, but it had already come into the garage just before we were expecting storm winds from Helene that never actually got here as it veered away.
We voted today (Thursday) and I'm sure it was better than trying to do so Tuesday. Don't know how Wednesday would have been but there was NO LINE today, so we were in and out in just a few minutes.
One load of laundry all done, start to finish, folded and put away, and the other load is in the washer now. When it's done I'll move it to the dryer but no guarantee it will be folded today. LOL.

I'm still wearing gym shorts most of the time but that may change to sweat pants sometime soon! We'll see.
I have a load of laundry to freshen and fold, and the dishwasher to run after I feed the cats.
Meanwhile, work beckons.
