Hi
I'm back home from walking no cents. The Temperature out the door was 63 degrees. The Humidity is down, When I got up and looked out the living room window I could see stars in a nice clear sky and unlike yesterday the sky stayed clear.

Yesterday was not to bad outdoors. Today on my return home I opened a window in the Dining Room, back of the house. And the Inside door so that I can get fresh air inside from the Screened Front porch.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and one thin dime found. The Temperature out the door was 65 degrees. The Humidity is the same as yesterdays. When I out the door I could see a partly cloudy sky and I could see stars in the clear area of the sky. As I was walking the stars disappeared behind clouds that had moved in. According to the weather forecast the Clouds are remnants of Florence and Rain should be moving in later today through tomorrow with occasional Thunderstorms.

Yesterday the high temperature was in the mid 80s...
My best guess and it is a guess is that the Rain Showers are not everywhere and therefore the 70%, I could also be wrong.



A Little Humor now:
A software developer, a hardware engineer and a mid-level manager were on their way to a conference center located near the top of a mountain. After the conference, they were driving down the steep mountain road and suddenly the brakes on their car failed. The car careened almost out of control down the road, bouncing off the crash barriers, until it miraculously ground to a halt scraping along the mountainside. The car's occupants, shaken but unhurt, now had a problem: they were stuck halfway down a mountain in a car with no brakes. What were they to do?
The manager said, "Let's have a meeting, propose a Vision, formulate a Mission Statement, define some Goals, and by a process of Continuous Improvement find a solution to the Critical Problems, and we can be on our way."
"No, no," said the hardware engineer. "That will take far too long, and besides, that method has never worked before. I've got my Swiss Army knife with me, and in no time at all I can strip down the car's braking system, isolate the fault, fix it, and we can be on our way."
"Well," said the software developer, "Before we do anything, I think we should push the car back to the top of the mountain and see if it happens again."

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no cents found. The Temperature out the door was 75 degrees 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. When I left the house it was dry outside which is why I decided to go walking. About 30 minutes into the walk I took shelter under a tree while I struggled with the rain Poncho which was giving me problems due to the breeze. I ended up turning for home at that point and the rain became moderately heavy
According to the weather forecast the remnants of Florence AKA Leftovers according to the weather forecast will become worse as the day progresses with 1 to 2 inches of rain.

Yesterday was a day of good and bad news. The good, the scale is treating me OK. The weather was not too bad and I ordered 5 NS gift cards from CostCo where they are on sale at $59.95 for $100 face Value, Thank You Irene for the heads up.
The Bad happened when my Brother went to dry a load of clothes and all the dryer did was give off a loud AC Hum and not spin. The Most likely candidate is that the motor has seized, less likely would be a bad bearing in a Pulley or a belt tensioning pulley, since I was fine when I dried my last load the other day...
A new dryer is likely in the near future since neither of us wants to use a laundromat dryer.

Yesterday my brother said I need to pick up the apple that fell off of the tree and see how it tastes. That is the first one since they were planted He did not realize that the protective anti deer cage was loose against the fence he thought it was secured hence asking me to get it. Something had damaged it in two spots and teeny tiny ants were all over it. I used the knife we keep in the garden to cut off the damage and that got rid of the ants. It was pretty tasty too. Now if next year we get more than one

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 69 degrees and comfortable. When I left the house it was dry outside. On the return leg of my walk there was a light mist blown into me that has so far not turned into rain. Two and three blocks from the house going for my coffee I saw t one full size and one smaller Deer trotting down the cross street, Then in the next block three more, One small and two larger deer ran across the street going from one lawn to another lawn on the other side of the street. Likely after eating landscaping or gardens

Yesterday we went to the local appliance store and bought a new leftover discounted floor model dryer. There was a Maytag that I would have been happy with for $20 lower in price There was a nice Speed Queen if pricey that I might have gone for, 5 year warranty on that one vs 1 year on the others. My brother did not like it as the controls were on the front which meant a flat top and my brother figured that he would be knocking things off of the top behind the dryer.

I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 72 degrees and semi comfortable except when the breeze blew. When I left the house it was dry outside except for the occasional drizzle.
The drizzle was not enough to pull out and wear the disposable poncho.

Yesterdays weather had seasonable temperatures with humidity in the 80+%. Later today there is supposed to be a cold front moving through with lower humidity.

I think I may take advantage of the Coupons from the Acme and pick up the 3+ pound 80% lean Hamburger at $2.88 a pound, The $2.77 pound of Butter, and maybe a Chock Full of Nuts 23 to 26 ounce coffee for $4.99. For this area these are good prices sadly. Then Monday I need to go to CostCo for some frozen vegetables as I have enough left to go into tomorrow.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 58 degrees and comfortable. The rain in the forecast that was to arrive overnight was a light drizzle out the door with some brief periods of slightly heavier rain. The forecast is for heavy off and on rain today

I went back out and helped my brother with one of his hobbies and ended up with several thousand more steps.
He also pointed out the Pear Tree growing wild that he had brought home some of last year. When we checked we picked up enough to overfill the Fruit / Vegetable drawer in the refrigerator. They are not a sweet variety but tasty enough so that is some money saved for the future. Since they are growing wild I will be cutting them up just in case of a worm inside, better to find it that way then to find a half of a worm as You are eating it

Yesterdays weather never got out of the 60s, Today temps should be good, just wet and Wednesday the forecast is for the weather to hit 80 degrees or higher before dropping back to seasonal Thursday.

I checked the New Heat resistant cement I placed where the Furnace exhaust enters the Chimney and it is hard and did not crack like what I used last year did. The appliance store also said the when we change the water heater the flue pipe will need to be changed from a three inch to a four inch pipe and that raises the cost significantly, I asked as sooner or later it will need to be changed

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 69 degrees and uncomfortable. The humidity is high enough to make walking somewhat of a chore. There is a mist or haze in the air and the cars had cones of light in front of them as a result. There was a light drizzle for a few minutes, not enough to put on the rain gear as I was on the homeward leg, I did put the iPod inside of a small plastic bag just in case it became heavier. This one is my spare as the One I usually use while walking is ready to be sent back to Apple for repair, That is $99 + S&H as it is out of warranty. The port where the cable used to charge and Sync died after being finicky for a while I have a spare since they announced that the iPod Nano was being discontinued and the only one they have left to sell is the iPod Touch. No Thanks, Touch Screen controls only, Not helpful as I use the Volume up and down as well as the pause button constantly while walking.

Yesterday was a dreary looking day with off an on, more on than off and flooding in many parts of NJ. Today is looking dreary, Humid and a possibility of Thunderstorms in the afternoon, Not to mention warmer into the 80s before dropping back down Thursday

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 63 degrees and comfortable.
When I left the house on my block I saw a Deer at the end of the street and on the second block of my walk I saw what looked like a Ground Hog crossing the road.

We hit in the 80s Wednesday with rain and a Thunderstorm in the Evening. The rain did not last for a long time, It became heavy for a few minutes before tapering off. It was still 78 degrees when I retired for the evening, The Cold Front that was forecast as the reason for the T-Storms must have come in with a vengeance given the overnight drop in temperatures of 15 degrees.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 62 degrees and at the time I left for my walk the rain was coming down hard enough to make a Hissing sound. Three Blocks from home I saw something crossing and then walking up the road, upon getting closer I saw the Black Fur with the White Stripe down the back so I stayed clear. The Rain slowed down as I was walking and despite the Rain Gear It was not uncomfortable walking and since I wore the oldest set of walking gear that I keep for days like today.

No Mowing the lawn today, Maybe Tomorrow or Sunday.

I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 58 degrees at the time I left for my walk. I did see one Deer, They are so unafraid that I can usually get within 50 feet before they move and even then they only move a little way.

I was afraid that I might have damaged my Diet yesterday with the 0.6 pounds of Spare Ribs on top of my regular meals, However I was down this morning so Whee ! The Spare Ribs had a sprinkling of some dry topping, however they tasted like Roast Pork and were so tender that the meat fell off the bones cleanly and I did enjoy them. I did not weigh the bones to see what the net weight of the Pork was.

"I stepped on the rake, too."

Lest I forget, New Jersey has raised the Motor Fuel tax by another 4.3 cents Monday morning for a second increase in two years
Gas tax collections have fallen behind for two years now, precipitating Gov. Phil Murphy's administration to announce Thursday that it is raising the motor fuel tax 4.3 cents, bringing state taxes on a gallon of gasoline sold in New Jersey to 41.4 cents -- the ninth-highest of any state.
This follows a whopping 23-cent-per-gallon increase passed by the state Legislature and signed into law by then-Gov. Chris Christie in 2016.
