Hi Ed Valerie, And Kathie
I'm back from walking 1 cent. The temperature this morning was 57 degrees. The walking was nice today, The 70% chance of rain yesterday ended up being a few stray drops on the window in the evening, Big Whoop.
Today's plan is to adjust the cut on the lawn mower, then cut the lawn.

Good Morning Kathie! Seeing that big wide grin! Enjoy your day off!
Hi Every Body!
Made it to the gym today...little Doc's orders...along with a few others...also made a cat food run to WalMart...only they didn't have the Cat Food from Whiskas that Tom E. eats. Bummer. I can find it in grocery stores, but its more expensive.
Tomorrow is A/C system check up. Sometime between 10 and noon they say.
Tonites news says we're in dire need of rain. I'm not surprised. After lots and lots of rainy days, it has suddenly stopped.And the best they can do with the forecast is one day with a 30% chance of rain...Way too early for this.
Still need to feed Tom E. and clean up the kitchen sink, and then I'm headed to bed. Tired.
Hope everybody enjoys their day as much as Kathie's morning meme!!

Howdy y'all. Got thoroughly distracted this morning. Well, almost bedtime now but I'm still around y'all!

Hi
I'm back from walking 2 cents. The temperature this morning was 54 degrees and the walking was nice too. I wore a light long sleeve shirt and the safety vest and they were enough.
Yesterday we adjusted the cut on the lawn mower, then I cut the lawn. I also did laundry afterwards, mainly the winter weight clothes so I could store them away until fall.

Hi Valerie
Call me cheap, call me frugal, Change or clean the filter and see if the AC works. If it works, done at a low to no cost, if not call for service
Am I remembering wrong or has the Atlanta area been in dire need of rain for years ?
Have You found the cat food at Walmart before ?
I see You could buy it online via Amazon or Chewy.com, whether that would be cheaper or not I can not say. I will comment that I see the Chewy.com boxes out at the curb in front of more than one house on recycling day while I am walking. I got a advertisement from them that has a coupon code for $15 off on Pet food & supplies of $49 or more with free 1 or 2 day shipping. If You are interested let me know and I will PM it to You.
Cheers
Roger

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
I've been up for hours but distracted by various things, including checking the apps and arrangement on my android pad, getting the grocery list together, and heading out for cat food, groceries, and lunch.
Nap time may be soon!

The Non Frozen portion was delivered Tuesday a little before 11AM, Hopefully the Frozen arrives just as early, then I can try some of the new foods in it today
Tracking shows that my Frozen will arrive today.

I let FireFox restart just a moment ago after I posted the two messages above. Some sort of security update.
beyond that not to much on my to do list beyond check in the frozen once it arrives, And start on a CostCo Shopping list for the next day or two, as long as I get there before the weekend. I have been holding off going there for frozen veges until I put the frozen delivery in the basement freezer to see how much room is left.
Have a Good Day

Hi Kathie
I hate it when that happens, on the occasions that does happen I end up getting out walking early jut to be doing something. The one benefit if that happens is traffic is very light and the lack of noise is nice.
Good Luck with the Sleeping

Hi Valerie1 -
Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 62 out there now with an expected high of 83 and no chance of precipitation.
Need to wash yesterday's cat bowls and ponder laundry. Waiting for the vet to call back telling me they have Lilo's prescription refills ready. When I go for those I will also hit the grocery for a few more items.

$8 toast vs. $20 toast? I don't think any toast is worth even $8 much less $20. At least they weren't in the $100s for this one.

Good Morning! ITs my T-W post. LOL!
I don't know where I was yesterday...but according to Roger's Hi Valerie, I was not here! hmmm.
Furnace check Roger...an annual thing I do...keeps my furnace clean and all the circuits up to par, they clean out the outside part which I think must have been skipped last time from the amount of pine needles and other debris he got out of there. That furnace/AC unit was over $5000, so keeping it in good condition is worth the yearly $50, at least in my opinion.
I do the same with the furnace each fall. Also, I buy the yearly plan, which means that if something was to go wrong, they have 24 hours to get out here and fix it! So, when the mother board went out on the furnace a couple years ago, it was cold out, and they were here in like 2 hours, got a new board and had my furnace up and running in no time! Meanwhile Marietta's inlaws had a heating issue, and I gave her my contract peeps, and they told her it would be 2 DAYS before they could come look at it, and she got the same response from several different companies.
The cat food. Its a regular supermarket brand, and yes, I've gotten it from WalMart for years. I don't know why they didn't have it on the shelves. Will pick it up today at Kroger.
Speaking of shopping...Ed. I hope you make your grocery shopping a swing into Aldi's...nice selection of fresh fruit on sale this week, including watermelons...I may go pick one up. Fla. grown, (too early for our GA melons), and its forecast to be 90 + degrees both Saturday and Sunday...so a good cold watermelon should taste pretty good!!!
My Fitbit is charging, and almost done.. seems to need charged about every 6 days. I can manage that.
Will be curious to know if your frozens arrive today Roger. And I laughed outloud at several of the cartoons from both yesterday and today.
Kathie, I hope you make it thru the day, especially after lunch today with your 'early riser' status. I think we all wake some odd nights for no known reason, only to have going back to sleep elude us til right before the alarm goes off! I know I've done that. Not very often thank goodness!
Ed, going to watch your video's later when I get back from Kroger and Aldi's. ( I know you're not interested, but Aldi's has a good deal on an enameled cast iron pot this week...thought of you when I saw it!)
Later...

Let me clarify the furnace cost....annual cost is like $79 for 2 visits, emergency service, etc. NOT in addition to the $50/each Fall & Spring. OK, Didn't want you to think I was down here in GA just tossing money away! Trust me...
And the Aldi's Cast Iron enameled Dutch Oven was $60 today at Kroger. Saw that while I was searching for the 'Simply Potatoes'. I am hating this move everything some place else. And their excuse that they are putting the organic/'healthy foods' with the standard foods. Phooey they are! Most of the foods I eat like Amy's organic Vegan foods, tofu, etc have lost shelf/freezer space. I may be soon driving the extra couple miles to Whole Food. At least I will know the foods being sold do not have artificial sweeteners, colors, or GMO's.
Ok, rant over.
Later, like tomorrow dudes! LOL

I didn't see the Dutch oven in the Aldi ad, but may check it out tomorrow while I am out. Though I do have to day I'm not really particularly interested in enameled cast iron, I do like to look at it as some of it is rather nice looking.
The vet called this afternoon to let me know that Lilo's prescriptions were ready but it was already getting toward rush hour so I decided to leave that until tomorrow.

Hi
I'm back from walking no cents. The temperature this morning was 54 degrees and the walking was OK until the light wind arrived. There is rain in the forecast for later on today. Today's Plans are Bank then CostCo.
I had the new NS Cinnamon Coffee Cake @ 170 Calories before heading out the door, I put it in the refrigerator and gave it enough time in the MW to warm it instead of MW'ing it from frozen as indicated on the package or eating it at room temperature which was the alternative given. It was tasty too.

Motherboards in a Furnace, You must have one of the smart ones that adjust heating according to need and outside temps. Hot Air ? Ours is a dumb one with the old style Mercury switch Thermostat on the wall in the hall and Hot water too. Gas Fired so not much cleaning or maintenance needed. The only repairs it has needed (Knock Wood) so far are a new Thermocouple twice. That sits in the flame from the pilot light and will not let the burner kick on if it fails or there is no flame in the pilot light. To light it You need to use a flame while holding the Gas valve button. If we had Oil heat or hot air then cleaning would be needed each fall.
FWIW FedEx dropped off the frozen at 7:08 PMThe cat food. Its a regular supermarket brand, and yes, I've gotten it from WalMart for years. I don't know why they didn't have it on the shelves. Will pick it up today at Kroger.

Later... I was checking it in and storing it away until 8PM.
Thanks for the feedback on the humor, Enjoy today's too.
Today's CostCo visit is for three types of paper goods, TP, Kleenex and paper towels. One opened sleeve of TP left, One roll of paper towels and 6 Kleenex so a case of all three is indicated. Then I will look at the Fruit and see if anything looks good and pick up frozen vegetables.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Let me clarify the furnace cost....annual cost is like $79 for 2 visits, emergency service, etc. NOT in addition to the $50/each Fall & Spring.

FWIW the Frozen Vegetable selection at Whole Foods was not as good as at the ShopRite and pricier, OTOH 16 ounce bags at WF vs 12 ounce bags at the grocery store
I am thinking of hitting WF in the next few days for more Bacon to make BLTs with as their bacon was tasty.
Good Luck with Your shopping, the Shoprite is a little closer than the WF, however I can get to and and back home from the WF quicker since it is on a state highway. It also may not burn more gas as it is a lot less stop and go driving.
Cheers

I do not blame You for avoiding the Rush Hour
I managed to avoid rush hour driving with may last 16 years of work as I started at 10AM and worked weekdays until 7PM and it was a entire 5 to 7 minute drive depending on the traffic lights.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 60 with an expected high of 88 and 20% chance of precipitation.
Need to pick up a couple of items at the veterinarian's office and probably stop by Kroger and/or Aldi for a few things.
I will start the dishwasher after I feed the cats in a while.
Lunch will likely be leftover lasagna soup from last night.
