Hi
I haven't headed out yet for my walk, It is drizzling outside and appears from the weather report that it should be out of here on a while. Front porch in the mid 60s so that will be OK today.

Have a Good Friday & enjoy the upcoming Weekend
Roger

Hiya Kel Guess you visited your Mom and did yard work....yay for no spots!
Roger, the birds still want to build nests under our shutters!

Hi Vix
The Year they built under the window AC it was the one in the bedroom and I did not have the heart to get rid of it once I realized it was there since I did not notice it until they hatched and started making noise. Hard to sleep late that way however.

When You say under the shutters do You mean between the shutter and the house as I suspect?

Cheers
Roger

Yes, but hubs is right on it and gets rid of them before they get too far in the building process. ( A leaf blower works well). A couple of years ago, some birds built a nest on my daughters front door wreath...they didn't notice until there were eggs, so they waited until the babies were able to fly...but what a mess! They had to throw out the wreath, disinfect the door, and constantly clean the porch.

Hi Vix
I think I remember that did You post pictures?

I wish I had noticed in time to get rid of the nest too.

Have a Good Day
Roger

Hi Vix
I agree birds can make one heck of a mess especially when they are taking care of chicks.

I'm glad to know that at least my memory is working OK.

Well I'm off to breakfast, Yesterday I had the Turkey Sausage & Egg Muffin at 180 calories + 20 from the cheese I added 1/2 slice of cheese for taste at 20 calories, Today I am having the Canadian Style Turkey Bacon, Egg and Cheese Muffin at 150 calories, I do pull the cheese out of it before Microwaving it and then add it back in once it is heated. Plus a NS Coffee Shake Mix Protein shake. I already had my Banana before going out walking.

I had an OK night, Woke up a little early however, Early night tonight most likely.

Have a Great Day
Roger

Hi Vix
No houseplants, only ones recently planted and some still in the pots they were started in. My Brother is trying to get the Sunflowers large enough that whatever it is that eats them off down to the ground will not do that. A few made it into bloom last year, although most got eaten off and only had stubs sticking up when set out. This year they are bigger than last year.

Have a Good Day and Stay Dry
Roger

Hi Vix
I was sitting at the computer and when I looked out the Window Yesterday around 5:30PM I saw the rain start up, then the Wind picked up and the rain poured down briefly and then it was done and things started drying out. The nearby town had .51 inches of rain according to the News12 weather report.

A few power outages to the north of me but considering that the wind gusts hit 60MPH in parts of the state that is not too bad.

I have changed when I take my Vitamins from after my walk to with Dinner and that seems to help with my energy levels when I get out walking in the morning.

Yesterday was a lazy day after the morning walk and Supermarket run. I did hit over 10k steps too.

Have a Great Monday
Roger

Hi Roger....we had a power outage today...???? When we were coming home from class, all the street lights were out on the main road into my town, no police directing traffic, flares preventing people from making turns across the road....it was very strange, but most drivers were being polite and the intersections were pretty much working like 4 way stops. There wasn't any rain or much wind or anything, don't know what caused it. I think it lasted about an hour or so. It came back on about a half hour after I got home.
I usually take my vitamins in the a.m. with half a glass of almond milk, before I forget! But it's good to do whatever works best for you.
Have a good night.

Hi Vix
if this is Your power company it may have been planned
https://www.bge.com/safetyreliability/reliability/stormsoutages/pages/planned-outages.aspx
Planned Electrical Outages
To provide you with consistently reliable electric service, BGE must maintain its electrical equipment. To perform this maintenance safely, we turn off the power in designated work areas for a short time. If work is scheduled in your area, we will contact you by mail well in advance and provide complete information including the date, time and length of the outage.

Occasionally, we will cancel a scheduled outage due to severe weather or other operating conditions.
The list on that page for example shows two planned outages, on cancelled and one On Schedule. The page I linked also has a phone number You can call for the latest information. FWIW If I call PSE&G my gas and electric company about an outage I get a call back telling me what happened.

The other possibility would be equipment failure or somebody hitting a pole.

I find the switching to taking the vitamins after my dinner gives me better energy for my walk as compared to taking them with Breakfast after I walk

As You say most drivers are courteous, there are always a few that feel the need to rush unfortunately.

Have a Nice Day
Roger

Hi Vix
So far so good. Interesting that Your town has two different power companies and is in three different counties. That must make for a interesting tax map.

Have a Great Day
Roger

Hi Vix
NJ is not known for low property taxes either. However the town does a pretty good job of Snow removal, garbage pickup, And plenty of nice well maintained parks.

Have a Nice Evening
Roger
