Sudokus are number puzzles...yes, good for the brain.
I just did my PT exercises, so getting back into that. Will get out somewhere in a little while, went out in the yard to look at flowers.
Congrats on installing the carburetor!
Hi Vix
If I said I took the easy route since I did not have a manual and viewed a YouTube video. It is actually easy on the mower. Remove two bolts and one linkage and the gas tank with carburetor come off as an assembly. The new Carburetor had all the required gaskets. I only needed one 1/4" Socket set and a combo screwdriver. Need a good laugh, last year a local lawnmower shop quoted near $100 to do that My Cost $22 in parts and that was taking the lazy way out with a new one versus parts.
Have a Good Day

Hi Irene
Around here Verizon has been pushing Fios, how has Your experience with them been as far as getting them out for the repair? Did You ask for a credit? The last two years any troubles with my Cable internet have mostly only need pulling the power from the modem & the router to reset them.
I am sorry to hear Your Knee is hurting that bad.
Good Luck

good morning, we actually have fios it is the battery that needs to be replaced and the router turned back on since my husband is IT he fixed so we have internet and tv tomorrow they come and fix it , it broke saturday but with the strike it is taking a little longer. I stopped walking in the morning an hour is too much on my knee I will just try and walk a half hour I will see if that helps.0

Hi
I found one penny on today's walk, it was warmer than yesterday and I was overdressed despite wearing one layer less. Today is forecast to be in the high 70s to 80 degrees It seems early to me for these temperatures here in NJ, I could also be wrong.
I changed the carburetor yesterday morning, then I mowed the front and side lawns, the back grass did not really need it.
I watered the garden too. Two of the three Apple trees have started to leaf out as have more of the Raspberry plants. The Onion plants are growing pretty good too.
Have a Good Upcoming Week

Hi Irene
The Fios advertised prices are tempting, however the changing of email addresses everywhere is holding me back form a change. Plus My brother and I do watch News12 and I do not think that Fios has News12.
Funny, I thought that the Battery was to keep the phone running in case of a power outage. The Cable company has a system that does that if You get their phone service.
At least Your Husband was able to get You up and running.
Good Luck with the Knee

Good morning;
Roger-Isn't it amazing the money you can save doing your own repairs. My daughter just got an estimate for brakes on her VW Jetta. The quote was $1,500. My hubby is going to order the parts and replacement them for her.
Vix-I went out and looked at my yard and decided I needed some color. So after work this morning I stopped at home depot and bought some plants for the yard. I am going out it a little while to plant them. I also bought a basket of pansies for the front steps.
Irene-It was good that your hubby was able to get your TV working. I just passed a Verizon store with a lot of people walking the picket line. I hope you get some relief from you knee pain soon.
Enjoy the day!0 -
Hi Joanne
I like saving money... If I can do it I go ahead and do it, usually I can save money that way.
A neighbor dropped of a couple of pansies when they picked up some of the Onion plants my brother offered them. So we have them blooming on each side of the front steps, Grape Hyacinths, Violets in the lawn and the early variety of Bleeding hearts right now.
Have a Nice Day
Roger0 -
Good morning, back from yoga. Another beautiful sunny day, supposed to get really warm here too. Will be going for my massage in a little while.
Roger, always good to be handy....my dad was like that, he could fix anything.
Jo, my husband bought and planted gladiolas yesterday. Right now we still have our grape hyacinths blooming and a bush with white flowers and some anemones and some creeping flox. Oh, and the white dogwood out front is starting to bloom. I really like flowers! I'm sure you'll enjoy all your color!
Irene, hope your knee starts feeling better, a short slow walk is probably better.
Have a great day!0 -
Hi Vix
It sounds as if You have had a good day today.
I like Gladiolas, it is just a shame they only get one flower spike per plant. We still need plant the Jerusalem Artichokes and some seeds. The Seed company sent some flower seed sample packets in the order. This is a great time of the year, usually not too cold to too hot.
I turned on the Living Room Wall AC as the room was getting warm 80 at degrees.
Have a Good Afternoon.
Roger0 -
Good morning;
I opened all the windows yesterday and aired out the house.
I started to dig a hole yesterday to plant and discovered that I had hostas starting to come up. I had forgotten that I had planted them last year.
Off to get ready for work.
Have a good day.

good morning,Verizon actually called and came yesterday they had to replace the whole box so now we have a whole new box they don't replace battery's any more don't really care as long as I have all my stuff up and running.0
-
Good morning!
Glad your electronics are back, Irene...
Jo, always nice to be surprised by things you've already planted. Pete put a bunch of seeds in the other day too, and another spreading juniper near the drain area, so he doesn't have to mow so much on tilt. Have a good day at work.
Roger, sounds like you're going to have a great garden...lots of organic veggies and pretty flowers.
Going to clay co-op later this morning, then I start my new pottery wheel class later this afternoon. It will be a long day, but I'm pretty excited about the new class.
Have a great day, everyone.0 -

Hi Irene
Just curious, how old was the box, The Batteries should be good for years.
It seems You got lucky, who knows what effect the strike will have.
Do You still have RFD-TV on Fios? Supposedly they were going to drop it. I do watch that channel for the Tractor Pulls, and Hee Haw and my Brother looks at the farm reports to spot future trends in food prices.
Enjoy the Day.

Nothing wrong with wanting to only mow on the level. It sounds as if Your yard is coming along too.
Have a Good Time at Pottery Class
Roger0 -
Good evening;
Vix-Did you enjoy your new pottery wheel class?
Roger-I have comcast as my cable provider, I will try and see if I can find GETTV. I love watching shows and movies from the 30's, 40's and 50's.
Irene-I am glad Verizon came and you are back in business.
I planted basil, chives and parsley from seed and have it on my kitchen window sill. The parsley and basil are growing great, the chives not so much.
Have a great evening.

Good morning!
Roger, sounds like you're time traveling with your TV shows and radio!
Jo, I love the old shows from the 30s, 40s and 50s too. The pottery class is good. I was just getting the feel for it a little ...it's going to take a while. Also I was really tired and achy afterward. Took 2 Alleve last night. Guess I'm not going to be a potter.
Irene, good luck with your Dr. appt today.
Another sunshiny day, everyone enjoy!0 -
good morning, Roger not sure if we still get it or not but I do know George was watching Hee Haw not sure i will look into it for you.Thanks Vix my appt is Friday but I will take all the good wishes I can get my knee seems to be not hurting as much as it was but still pain of course I really don't do much pretty much just sitting and watching tv not much more to do.0

Hi
I got out walking by 7:25AM, It was a bit chilly outbound and I was thinking maybe I should have added a layer then on the return part of the loop I was thinking I wish I had on less layer, I'm never happy I also found 1 whole Chuck E Cheese Token while walking.
I got a few more things done yesterday, We cleaned the refrigerator, and I pulled the gizmo we put the dishes in to drain out of the one side of the sink and cleaned the Sink.
My brother baked a Cheesecake and as the chief taster in residence I know I'll be eating some today.
I turned on the water to start watering the garden on my return from my walk, Currently 5 of the 11 berry plants and two of the 3 Apple trees are leafing out.
I got the Phone call that the replacement item(s) for my missing frozen has shipped. It should arrive today, Whee!
Have a Nice Wednesday

I do suggest Using a DVR for their shows, Commercials otherwise. Hopefully it is on Your Cable System. I can tune the local channels from the cable on all but one of my TV sets with now box needed for the locals. That does get me all the subchannels many of which show old TV shows. I will be interested in hearing if You do get the channel on Your cable system.
We did Basil plants from the garden center and from seed planted right in the ground last year, a slight edge in speed to the Basil plants. The Radishes from Seed were fast too. Chives I never tried from seed.
Good Luck

Hi Vix
I do tend to listen to Old Time Radio Shows while walking, the TV shows at home on the TV of course. Currently I am working my way through Boston Blackie, However I took a break from that as when I sync the iPod I have to select what to listen to, so I Synced yesterday and today I went to some music as a change, Older tunes of course.
I would think that Pottery could be hard, I would have trouble using a pottery wheel for long periods of time.
Good Luck

Not a lot to watch on Daytime TV either IMO
If You or don't look into it, I will survive either way.
Good Luck Friday

Good afternoon;
Roger-that cheese cakes looks yummy, have a slice for me.
Vix-I would think using the pottery wheel would be hard,just the sitting position and strain on your arms and shoulders. It may take a while to get use to it.
Irene-Are you call caught up on the soap opera's. I have been watching some daytime TV when I go and visit my sister. I don't know how she can watch some of it.
I came home from work today and had a little nap. I was tired and I am a little achy today.
Have a good evening.0 -
My yes, that cheesecake looks yummy. Lucky chief taster!
Aw, hope you feel better, Jo.
I don't watch daytime TV...once in a while, if I feel like it, I'll just bring up something on demand, rather than watch what they're showing, or I'll watch HGTV or something like that. Most of the shows are really awful!
As far as the pottery, I will enjoy the class, but there are some things that will bother me. The Alleve helped.
Irene, glad you're feeling a little better....sometimes it's good to just hang out and rest up.
Have a good evening, everyone.0 -
good morning, our weather here has been nice yesterday was beautiful I actually had the door to my deck opened . I don't watch soaps probably cause I always worked and just never had the time. I actually dvr a lot of stuff no commericals that way.I got a check from amazon and it was for 39.00 but then they took out the taxes my check was 0 glad I was not counting on the money. I thought I would be going crazy by now just sitting home but it has been nice of course all I am doing is eating and watching tv not much more I can do I will be so happy after we fix this knee of mine. Pottery class does sound like fun. Vix hope you are feeling better0

Good morning!
Going to painting class this morning.
Irene, I know you're going to be so happy when you get your knee taken care of.
I'm off to the rheumatologist this afternoon. I'm kind of nervous because I want to have the discussion about getting off the infusions. Wish me luck.
The weather here has been great too. Yesterday we had the deck door and some windows open. It's healthy to air out the house a bit.
Jo, hope you got your nap yesterday and are feeling better.
Roger, great mornings for walking!
Have a wonderful day, everyone.0 -
Hi
I was Not 100% Wednesday, I had a Chinese Pork Broccoli Lunch Special and My Brothers Home Made Cheesecake for Dessert
No money found today while walking, It was somewhat colder than yesterday so I wore more layers on the outbound leg, I ended up Shedding on the Inbound leg as it warmed up outside. Nice looking day so far, It is somewhat hard to believe rain is in the forecast for later.
Have a Nice Thursday

Hi Joanne
It was tasty, and unfortunately I did have a Slice for You as well as one earlier for me
However I cured that temptation. I took what was left after my Brother had his and Portioned it into four repurposed Chinese Lunch Special containers and it is now in the freezer waiting until a family friend can come and get them. I may save to for him and drop two off at the Car Repair Shop and that will completely remove the temptation to pull one, defrost it and gobble it down
Cheers

Hi Irene
NJ weather has been Good lately, I had the Living Room Door open last night to cool it down somewhat. Your reason for using a DVR is the same reason I use one. I actually started with a 40 hour Tivo and then when the Satellite Company came out with one that had a DVR integrated with the Satellite receiver I jumped on that and picked up two of them. That would have been around 1999 when Dishnetwork introduced its Dishplayer 7100 the first offering by a Satellite TV company.
Good Luck at the Doctors Tomorrow

Hi Vix
Being chief taster has its drawbacks too. When it does taste good it is hard to not overeat it. I did manage to avoid the Home Made Baked Beans he made recently however.
Good Luck with the rheumatologist this afternoon.
I can not see any reason to stay on the infusions if they are not helping.
Enjoy the painting class

Good evening;
Irene-good luck at the dr. tomorrow.
Vix-I did have a nap, but I still went to bed early. I hope you had good luck at the rheumatologist.
Roger-Thank you for eating those cheesecake calories for me.
After work I took the cats out in the yard for a little while. They were meowing at the door and driving me crazy.
They both have harnesses and leashes, but want to go in different directions. Before we had the house sided we had a run that I would clip them to. I don't want to attach anything to the siding, so am still figuring out what to do.
Have a good evening.0 -
good morning,Vix good luck at the rheumatologist today I am sure once you tell him they are not working they will stop. Well kinda nervous about going to the drs hopefully what ever is wrong will show up on the mri of course on the other end is I hope it is something serous oh well my apt is 9 so at least I don't have to wait too long. Now if that cheese cake was in my house I would of eatin the whole thing well take care all0
-
Good morning!
Good luck at the Doctor today, Irene!
Jo, hope you feel rested today.
Roger, I definitely would have had some of that cheesecake! Would be hard to part with it and not save some for another day.
I am at least temporarily off medication. Did not get an infusion yesterday, and have an appt to go back in 2 months....I can go earlier if I feel really bad. So, that's kind of a relief for me. The Doc agreed that maybe I should try going off for a while.
Going off red meat and alcohol for at least the next 21 days, and will try to find grass-fed, no hormone other meat, wild caught fish, and organic eggs.
Looks like rain here.
Have a great day, everyone.0 -
Hi
I dropped off two wedges of the Home made Cheesecake and a couple of other things to get rid of temptation at friends. All that is left of the Cheesecake is two wedges in the freezer awaiting a friend to drop by for them. Since they are earmarked they are safe
I stopped by the Grocery Store on the way home 9600+ Steps, I picked up a three pound bag of "Seedless Candy Mandy brand Clementines, Three Bananas since with the warmer weather they are ripening quicker, Fuji & Red Delicious (On Sale) Apples for my SmartCarbs.
It was T-Shirt Weather today, 60 degrees at 7:30AM. My Brother said I was overdressed due to the long pants
I had mentioned corroded coins I found on my walks, Today was no exception, One Shiny Penny and one corroded penny. Image attached of some of the finds from April.

Hi Joanne
I guess You could drive poles into the ground to anchor a run between?
I was lucky that between the Chinese Lunch Special and the Cheesecake I was only up 1/4 pound over my low point on the scale. OTOH I did do more than the usual amount of steps yesterday, Today too FWIW. Today just due to where I needed to walk to being in opposite directions
Have a Nice Day

Hi Irene
That same type of thing is why We froze most of the Cheesecake and are passing it on to friends. The Only two portions left in the freezer after this morning, he knows they are there and will pick them up for his wife and self next week. Getting rid of temptation is the easiest course, If it isn't in the house You can not eat it

Hi Vix
Trying to save for another day does not work well for me either, that is why any snack type foods I buy in single serve portions, they may cost more that way, OTOH if it isn't there it can't be sitting there singing its siren song saying "Eat Me, Eat Me, Just a little extra can" hurt", Except that yes it can.
FWIW if You have ShopRite Grocery Stores in Your area they have a House Brand of Organic Meat that can often be found marked at 50% off as it gets older and since it is CryoVac packed it keeps really well too. Individual sized items of the meats too which is really handy.
Good News on the Infusion.
The Weather forecast from yesterday was rain today, this morning its arrival keeps being moved later and the amounts lowered.
Have a Great Day

Good morning!
Roger, I love the acapella music...thanks for the entertainment while I read.
I didn't think they had ShopRite stores in Maryland, but I did see an ad on TV. There are none near here, but I'll see if I can find one, else will find compatible food in the local stores. It is more pricey, but if it helps me to feel better, will be worth it.
It's overcast here, supposed to be thunderstorms in the p.m.
Back from zumba this morning, and the only other thing I want to do today is pick up some things at the grocery store.
Yah....goodies tend to call my name too. That's why I'm better off keeping them out of the house too.
Have a great day, everyone....Happy Friday!0 -

FWIW there are a few others on the YouTube page, I can get to the page by right clicking and choosing open in a new tab.
You have been busy already My Days get up and go went when I got back home from my walk today. All I have left to do is shred some things and no rush on that.
Cheers
