Hi
Some chances of rain throughout the week. Last night at 10PM it was 50 degrees and this morning it is still 50 degrees outside and I do have the heat turned back on. There is fog in the area, where the hospital is has a reported visibility of 1.5 miles.
I should be heading out the door sometime after 8AM. The Outpatient test is scheduled for 10:30 with a arrive there a 1.5 hour early and due to the rush hour a anticipated drive of around 30 minutes.
Just in case I have created a contact list and my brother knows where it is.

Hi
It is 68 degrees outside, The forecast is for today's high to be in the upper 80s
There was a heavy rain around 10:30 PM and again some rain around 3:15 AM. I did not sleep well last night. I splurged on a Calzone and slices of Pizza. I ate half the Calzone and my brother had the other half for dinner. It had been many years since I had a Calzone. The starches are why I did not sleep well.

I heard some rain move through overnight and Thunderstorms this afternoon.
When I looked out the window a couple of minutes ago I saw a Fox in the neighbors front yard which then trotted up the street.
Yesterday my brother started prepping for Memorial Day. $4 for Celery
Diced Celery, Diced Onions, Shredded Carrot and diced Gherkins which he uses instead of Relish and Boiled Red Potatoes. Goal Potato Salad and Macaroni Salad. The Pinto Beans have been soaking overnight to become Baked Beans. Cupboard checked and Spirals Macaroni it is for the Macaroni Salad. The Local Produce store has not had Celery for a while and the $4 price was at a Grocery Store.

Currently It is 59 degrees outside. There was another round of storms yesterday with thunder in the afternoon and storm damage in other parts of NJ. According to this mornings Weather forecast the visibility in much of the state is 0.1 to 0.5 miles due to fog.
And another day of perfect grass growing weather here in NJ with enough sun and rain. I think my brother scared mother nature when he bought a watering can and a watering wand for the potted plants and as a result we are having rain often enough to not need them
