    good morning, went for a walk and found 25 cents ya. I found it doesn't matter if I walk or not the knee hurts so I figured I am better off to walk I started using heat on my knee and it does fill better . It looks like it is going to rain today . On our walk this morning it was actually warm looking forward to spring. Tried calling the dr to get an earlier apt but the one I have was the earliest so I kept it. Nothing planned for today

    Hi
    I am still waiting for the forecast rain, however it is on the way. However I did get out walking + 1 Really corroded penny
    that I am not sure how I even saw it sitting in the grass alongside of the Sidewalk.
    The rain is coming slower than originally forecast which is good as I got out the door later than usual.

    I had my Breakfast and then went out to our shed and pulled the carburetor off of the rototiller
    as it does run on starting fluid or a squirt of gas in the carburetor and when that is gone dies.
    Thus I did order a rebuild kit and have started taking it apart to see if I can get it going properly,
    if not then I can order a replacement carburetor via Amazon or Briggs and Stratton. Wish me luck :)

    Have a Good Thursday

    Good afternoon;
    Roger-I left my fitbit on the charger when I went to work today. :'( So far I have 878 steps. :'(
    I better get a move on. :)

    Hi Joanne
    With the Battery being dead in my FitBit Zip, It takes a CR 3025 that is good for a few months
    I only had a few hundred recorded steps myself Wednesday. I did not want to get a rechargeable battery version as
    I have enough trouble remembering to plug the Flip Phone & iPod in every week or so, The Other day I was sitting at the other computer and
    heard chiming noises, a light bulb went off over my head and I pulled out the phone, pushed the Volume button on the side to
    turn on the display and sure enough a Low Battery warning was displayed.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Irene
    Once again You are ahead of me finding money :)

    I agree, if the pain level stays the same walking or not walking, why not walk.

    Good Luck at the doctors, I had Knee surgery many years ago for Torn Cartilage from work. That did cure my knee pain so I am glad I did have it.

    It started spritzing rain a few minutes ago and then stopped again

    Cheers

    Good afternoon;
    It has been raining here all day. I found 2 cents today.
    Roger-I get an alert on my phone when my zipbit battery is low.
    Irene-I am glad the heat is helping with the knee pain.
    Vix-I hope you are having good weather in Charleston.
    Enjoy your day.

    Hi
    When I started walking to the post office to mail a payment it was not to bad out, However while I was out the sky kept getting darker and a chilly wind out of the North kept slowly increasing until I was glad to get home. I did stop and talk to two of the crossing guards while I was out walking. The rest of the time I was listening to "Boston Blackie" a old time radio show.

    I also filled the one Bird Feeder. While walking this week the Colors I see in bloom are Yellow on the Forsythia and Lots of Dandelions as well as Purple on plenty of Grape Hyacinths.

    Have a Great Friday

    Hi Joanne
    I had a email alert from the fitbit people the previous time when the battery was low, not this time however. I could never get an alert on my Flip Phone I suspect.

    Our rain was part way through the day and the balance that was supposed to come through never appeared so we were lucky that way.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Irene
    Congratulations on Your find and Your Leave Of Absence approval too.

    It is not that nice outside IMO currently and I am wondering what tomorrow will bring. The Forecast for Saturday seems to keep changing, earlier this week it was supposed to be OK, Then they started showing snow and now the forecast I saw seemed to be backing down on snow totals so who knows what will really happen.

    I am good for food between a earlier trip to CostCo for Fruits, Vegetables and Yogurts and then later this week the ShopRite and Yesterday I walked to a different grocery store and bough a two of boxes of Cheerios that were on sale. Multi Grain that is 110 calories per serving and Apple Cinnamon that is 120 calories per serving.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi
    Just a quick update as regards the Tiller, The first Thing we did last fall, pull the fuel tank and flush it, then Change the fuel lines as they were slightly cracked from age. I did put Stabil, a gas stabilizer in the gas in the tanks and gas can last fall.

    A Rebuild of the Carburetor using a Rebuild kit from Amazon and a cleaning of parts using Carburetor cleaner and when I installed the Carburetor today, set the choke and filled the tank it fired right up and churned the ground as it is supposed to do, We did not till today beyond testing it as it is cold outside with the wind chill :)

    Good to know my memory was not letting me down as to what is ToFu.

    Have a Good Day

    Good afternoon;
    Irene-congrats on your find. That is great that your LOA has been approved.
    Roger-Turner classic movies has Boston Blackie episodes on every once in a while.
    The rain yesterday washed away all the snow. :)
    Did you know that it is really difficult to type with a cat sitting on your arm. :) Vinny thinks he has to be as close to me as possible.
    Have a great evening. :)

    Hi
    I found a dime AKA 10 cents on the homeward leg of my morning walk. I am still waiting for the forecast snow or rain to start. That means I had a good mornings walk and stayed dry, I did have to wear a Sweatshirt & a Hoodie with Mittens to keep warm on my walk. I refilled the Squirrel proof bird feeder on my return to the house. The Birds seem to be hungry right now :)

    Currently I am capturing a 4 hour VHS tape on my big computer and will be editing and Converting it to be in DVD format when that has finished. It is three different Specials I recorded back in the 80s.

    Have a Great Weekend

    Hi Joanne
    I will have to look for those Movies, I have been listening to the radio show while walking. Some of the Commercials are for Beneficial Finance, Rinso Laudry Detergent and LifeBouy Soap,
    complete with the B.O that sounds like a ocean Bouy, Link to a commercial on YouTube here
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=astrjgUhc2I the sound is at the 33 second mark and the 1:22 second mark.

    I believe You, I have enough trouble typing with both hand free.

    Thank You for the Turner Classic Movies Information

    Hi Irene
    You are ahead of me for the week in money finds. For once the Money I found looks like new, not all corroded or scratched up. The last penny I found You could barely tell it was a penny :)

    I have not seen any snow or rain as of 10AM either, Hopefully it stays away. Tomorrow looks as if it will be colder than this morning from the weather forecast I saw.

    I am also ready for spring. I hope the cold weather does not damage the Raspberry, Blackberry or Columnar Apple trees we planted last weekend. They did need to be planted as they were shipped bare root style.

    Have Really good Saturday

    Good afternoon;
    I also found a penny today.
    Roger-I hope your plants survive the cold snap. Is lifebouy soap still sold in stores? The actor who played Boston Blackie was named Chester Morris and he had a sidekick named runt.
    Irene-I usually buy Yankee candles at the christmas tree shop. They are not as expensive as the Yankee candle store.
    Have a good evening. :)

    Hi
    I hope the plants are OK too, Time will tell.

    FWIW based on the mention here of Boston Blackie movies on TCM I did a quick search via Bing.com microsofts search engine. YouTube has lots of them as does Vimeo. I suspect the quality to not be as good as on TCM however.

    Thank You for the mention of TCM and Thank You to both of You for the well wishing for the plants

    Good morning;
    Bright sunny day. I am planning on getting out for a walk.
    First I am going to spackle the nail holes in the spare room. I am planning to start painting tomorrow. This is the only room that has not be done over since my daughter moved out 5 years ago.
    Roger-I love watching all the old movies on TMC. I think they are so much better than the movies today.
    Hi Irene and Vix.
    Have a wonderful day! :)

    Hi
    I found 11 cents while out walking. It is a nice sunny day currently OTOH It was chilly today when I was out. We had sprinkles of rain twice yesterday, Parts of South New Jersey had 3 inches of snow reported.

    Have a Good Sunday

    Hi Joanne
    I have to agree, too many of today's movies lack any originality or seem to rely on special effects or both to be any good. Both my Brother and I saw the advertising for the Lone Ranger movie and said what the heck is this rubbish as an example.

    When I have spackled in the past there were two methods I used to get the surface smooth, either sand or a damp sponge.

    Have a Great Walk

    Hi all! I missed you! :)
    We got back Friday night, and I was kind of knocked out yesterday. The vacation was nice, but I was dealing with an infection the whole time. We were close to a beach, visited the old part of Charleston...market, French quarter, and a couple of plantations, Fort Sumpter, and a swamp. I think the swamp was my favorite...have never visited one before, and it was run by the Audubon society and had a nice wooden walkway, saw some birds and some snakes, crazy cypress trees with cypress knees. The other great trees there were the live oaks, very old and beautiful. :) The weather was great, missed most of the chill at home, but it did snow on and off yesterday! (it all melted).
    I'm happy to be back home.

    hi, welcome back Vix glad you had a nice time, it sounds so nice. We never got any snow yesterday but it rained all afternoon today is cold but nice the sun is shinning we went for a nice walk in veterans park so the rest of the day I am going to just relax. Have a great afternoon

    Vix-welcome back, sounds like you had a great time despite the infection.
    Irene-how is the knee feeling?
    Roger-Have you noticed that most of the new movies out are remakes...where's the originality?
    Currently it is raining. :( I am ready for some warm and sunny days so I can start working in my yard. Now that the house is finished, a little landscaping is in order.
    I got up and walked with Leslie this morning for 3 mega miles.
    Have a great day. :)

    Thanks, glad to be back. :) It was a nice getaway. :)
    I haven't seen a movie in a long time. There doesn't seem to be any new movies I feel like I can't wait to see. We do watch one on TV every once in a while.
    Raining here too. Off to yoga class this morning.
    Enjoy your day. :)

    Hi
    No money found today, yesterday I did find 11 cents however. I could see that it had drizzled before I left the house today so I clipped the larger Umbrella to the backpack and took it with me that way just in case. I did unclip it once but it drizzled lightly and then stopped so I clipped it back on. I am using two carbiners to do that, One clips around the umbrella by the handle and then I use the second one to connect that one to the backpack. It works and keeps the Umbrella out of the way if not needed. I need to research and see if anyone sells a sling for umbrellas as a easier alternative.

    Have a Good Week

    Hi Vix
    I had hoped that the stronger prescription would help, I am sorry to hear it did not do the trick, I hope You do not have one of the drug resistant infections.

    I have seen the Cypress trees and their knees, I seem to recall that the Cypress Knees are to help the breathe.

    Is it raining down by You? We had a couple of drizzles so far and the forecast is for showers. Currently everything has dried off outside, when I went out walking it was wet out.

    I believe I would like to See Fort Sumpter and the others myself. Maybe someday :)

    Cheers

    Hi Irene
    I am sorry to hear that Your knee is hurting You, Good Luck with it, When do You hear from the doctor again?

    Quite often I find money as I cross a parking lot, or where cars park on the street or under a bench. Those locations at least I can figure out why, it is when I just find money laying on the sidewalk that I wonder how it got there.

    I recall seeing the first Indiana Jones and the first Star Wars in the movies, Anymore I would just as soon stay home and wait.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Joanne
    I had noticed that they all seem to recycle old movies often with poor results or else do endless sequels. I have a feeling it is easier for them to get financing that way.

    I am ready for nice weather, not summer heat however.

    Cheers

    Irene...when's your next appt for your knee....hope it feels better. Mine are kind of achy today too...I think it's the weather.
    Roger, Fort Sumpter was small, but very interesting in that it is a manmade island. Everything was built from bricks made on the local plantations.
    I found the cypress knees very interesting, they are to exchange gases in the roots, store starch, and help balance/stabilize the trees in the wet soil. In some areas they looked like statue gardens.
    I'm thinking maybe what they're doing to my immune system is not so good. I'll talk with the docs.
    It's kind of drizzling on and off, still really overcast.
    Good job walking...all of you! :)

    Hi
    A rainy start to the day outside, wet & Gloomy near 60 degrees however, I was comfortable in Two t-Shirts and rain gear :) 7.3k steps.

    Not much on my agenda beyond looking at the source VHS I captured to see if it needs to be re-captured with different settings as the image is washed out.

    I just got the confirmation email that my NS order has processed. No tracking number yet, For this one they can take their time as I still have more than enough on hand and could not delay the order further.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Joanne
    I will have to look and see, OTOH I did only pay $10 new for it so it may not have that feature.

    This mornings rain was gone asometime after noon and the sun was shining.
