    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 10/50 with an expected high of 21/69 and 50% chance of precipitation.

    Last day of the orchid show and I am not required or volunteered for anything today, though J is so I might go in with him, but his presentation's scheduled time conflicts with the time during which I'd like to nap.
    Hi Ed
    We hit 100% precipitation Sunday, It was done by 11AM Although things were slow drying off from it.

    In my humble opinion a nap is a good thing, I might be influenced in that opinion by the fact that my Grandparents took a nap every afternoon and lived a long life which could have been influenced by the daily nap.
    Kids Try Dim Sum
    I have had authentic Dim Sum in the San Francisco Chinatown area when on Vacation where my Aunt who lived in California for years picked the eatery. I did not eat some of the things from the selection they brought around to the table on the various trolleys, No Seafood for me, Chicken Feet, Nope, no way.

    Put ¼ Pineapple On A Plate. After A Few Seconds, You Won't Believe Your Eyes!

    Many orchids grow naturally on trees or even rocks. Growers often try to duplicate the natural growing environment as closely as possible. Here is a short video showing how one man does that.
    I wondered about that, I had thought I remembered seeing them in trees on the TV.

    Thank You for the Videos

    Happy Daylight Savings Day??? (not exactly)
    More on that later...no, I think we are all 3 in agreement that its a sham, waste of time, outdated, etc etc..
    The reason for this quick post...

    mialjcpncndd.jpg

    They're coming Roger! Won't be long...I swiped this from one of my email health mailing lists, because I instantly thought of you, coming home from your walk and picking a handful of berries on your way to the door!!!

    Which makes me remember I have blueberries, and I have not had breakfast....

    Later...
    Hello Valerie
    I was left tired yesterday which I blame on the switch to Daylight Savings time robbing some of my sleep from me. I am still tired today and have two more clocks to set the new time on, one I need a stool or ladder to reach in the Kitchen where it is over the door to the Dining Room :smile:

    I saw a news report that California wants to switch to it year around, however they need Federal approval to do it ?

    I am waiting and I am hoping to beat the Squirrels to at least some of the two types of berries.

    Have a Nice Day
    Roger

    BTW I do not know if this sort of thing is interesting to either of You ?

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 11/51 with an expected high of 18/64 and 50% chance of mainly afternoon precipitation.

    Might get out. Might not. Might even do some laundry.

    Today is Orion's cat mitzvah! OK. Today is his birthday and he is officially a one year old CAT and no longer a kitten. He doesn't look terribly excited about it.

    He does still have a few more days worth of kitten food to finish up.

    I could be wrong however I think that a Mitzvah is a good deed ?

    Less than excited is a understatement IMO. Is it time to change the food ?

    I noticed that You have a Portable USB Turntable, I have a Ion USB turntable and a Ion USB Tape deck that I use to capture to MP3 form both. They are not portable and require that they be plugged into the mains. They have USB connectivity to the computer and Right and Left RCA jacks for audio to a sound system.

    Hi!
    Its been a pretty good morning. I have a new neighbor. Met him today. They moved in Sunday he said. He was out walking their 3 small to medium sized dogs!
    And I've been to the gym, and am just finishing my lunch...
    I've been on the phone mostly..with State Farm about the billing from various doc's and the ambulance co, etc. I will be glad when this is all over!

    read your article Roger about the knives being hidden in plain sight. That was from Manchester England. Lucky we don't have to worry very much about knives in this country. People here don't get stabbed..we get shot!!! :(
    Hi Ed
    It sounds like a good new neighbor. I wonder if the dogs will bother Your Cat ?

    Gym, Lunch and then the pain in the neck dealing with State Farm. How is State Farm doing for You, Helpful or picking nits.

    England has a huge problem with knifings due to the very strict gun laws. Take the guns away from the crooks and they will find a alternative.
    I enjoyed the Vegan Korean...and watched another of her video's after. She made a couple of things between the two that I may have to give a try.

    I don't know what else...oh, watched all the vid's ... loved the idea of the poor man's boiled cake. I'd heard of them before, but never got up the energy to find a recipe...lol.

    Ok, I'm going for a quick nap..Jack will be calling in about an hour...
    clothes also now in the dryer....

    Thats been my day........

    Later...
    The last place I worked held the Christmas Party at Japanese Korean eateries so You could have either. The owner preferred Korean. Some of the Korean was tasty such as the thin marinated beef strips cooked on a Charcoal grill that they topped up with fresh charcoal as needed. I will say that the Korean food tended to run right through me and I suspect it was a ingredient as that happened at all of the various places the party was held.

    The Boiled Cake was a new one to me.

    Have a Nice Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!

    Nothing critical on the agenda for today. Just rest a bit perhaps. My bad knee (OK, neither one is really all that GOOD, but the right one has the old injury that flares up now and then) has been unhappy for a few days, and I am still getting over some small cold or something. And my left bicep is sore because I got shot yesterday, at the doctor's office, with a TDAP booster.

    Hello Ed
    I would not say I have bad knees neither would I brag about having good knees. Good Knees do not make cracking sounds when You get up from the chair :wink: Part of that could be from the cartilage surgery when back in the 90s I suppose OTOH only one knee was done and they both give off audible cracking noises.

    That is one of the reasons I hate shots in the arm, it seems to be sore for several days afterwards :(

I have done that in the past and likely will again in the future.

    Ok, quick Good Morning!
    Heading out for ATL in less than 10 minutes! Chiro, Whole Foods, then back out to Duluth and the Honda guys...I want a new 'trunk' thingy, and I want my Philly Flyers vanity plate mounted, and I'll let them do that too. See how nice I am???
    Got everything straightened out with State Farm...and the EMT's. It wasn't as hard to do as I thought it might be. I was concerned for my Credit Rating, and also that some of the bills were not paid by State Farm. Was told it was all good.
    Tom's out for the day. Sadly its overcast, but not going to rain. He had a great time yesterday, but it was sunny..can you say Cat Nap in the sun???
    I don't think my new neighbors dogs will bother the cat. I'm guessing they are indoor furries, other wise he wouldn't be walking them!?!?!?
    Hope Ed, that your Dr. chat about your blood work went well! You are one year ahead of me on the TDAP. My hands are in the dirt enough that I'm not about to miss the injection.
    Guys, Dr. Pat awaits......(I think unless I'm about to fall apart, this will be my official last 'auto accident' visit. :)

    Later...
    Hello Valerie
    Lots of running around I see. Is the Trunk Thingy the same sort of thing a Bed Liner in a Pickup Truck, A semi hard plastic fitted liner ?

    Just curious a Philly Flyers Vanity plate, Does that cause any comments where You are now residing.

    OTOH even indoors dogs can get free. The neighbors small dog manages to get out of the house a lot.

    Overcast beats rain :smiley:

    Are You worried about all three, tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis ?

    I hope the Doctor visit went well

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 42 degrees. That made me happy as I could shed one layer while walking, that layer was a moderately heavy Sweatshirt. OTOH I was out with my brother doing some running around and I spied 3 corroded Pennies So I did find three cents yesterday late in the moring.

    Before I forget Yesterday as I was sitting in the Living room eating my pre walk NS snack so as not to be putting coffee into a empty stomach I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and sure enough there was a Walking Appetite AKA Deer crossing the lawn. Then today on my way to pick up todays part Decaf and part regular coffee I had four of them crossing lawns ahead of me.

    Hello!
    Today was overcast, but delightfully warm!!! Loved it!
    While I ate I watched video's and read articles, and cartoons!
    Emmy cracked me up with her Drowned and boiled Baby dessert! I think our Emmy had a few tablespoons of the brandy. She's always perky, but this she was giggly, etc. Great fun to watch.
    In my yard I enjoyed seeing the yellow little forsythia blossoms, and tulips that some years bloom, and other years not! I can see the tiny little clusters of baby breath outside my kitchen window...They'll grow and eventually open, hopefully not till I'm home from the beach!
    Don't know much news, Glad the Boeing 737 Max's finally got grounded. Will be interesting to find out what made the planes go haywire at the 20-21 mark of the flight. And why only some of the flights but mercifully not all of the flights. ..

    Later...
    Hi Valerie
    It was warm enough that both the living room and the closed in porch were 77 degrees, That is slightly warm for both of us.

    So far the only blooms are the Snow Drops and I see some Hyacinth and Daffodil leaves showing above ground, We are running behind You significantly.

    Since I have not watched Emmy yet, No comment, She does seem to always be happy and positive.

    I wonder if the 737Max problem is similar to the Airbus problem that caused crashes in the past. As I recall it was caused by a safety feature that the Pilots kept overriding, If they had taken their hands off of the controls the Built in protective features would have leveled out the plane and all would have ended with no problem. IMO new models come with bugs that get worked out sometimes after a crash.

    I watch a show called Air Disasters https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2091498/
    From watching that show I see that major safety improvements occur once the cause is discovered.

    Have a Nice Day
    Roger

    Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 18/64 and expecting that to be the high as well. 20% chance of precipitation.

    Might get out today for some cat food.

    Well I got out and back without drowning! It was barely sprinkling (after a heavy shower) when I left and stayed that way, barely sprinkling, through my visit to PetSmart, until I got into Publix. Shortly after I entered Publix, the bottom fell out but by the time I had collected what I needed, and paid, it was down to a very light rain, and stayed that way until I and the groceries were safely inside at home.

    I call that a win!

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 48 degrees. There is a breeze blowing that picked up as I was walking resulting a bit of a wind chill. Today's high is forecast to be around 50.

    Last night around 8:30PM or 9PM there was a period of heavy rain and wind and lots of Thunder. That makes it as far as My brother and can tell the first thunderstorm here of 2019 unless we slept through a thunderstorm earlier this year.

    Wiped out: Town flushes final roll of 12-year toilet paper supply
    A Bavarian town needed 12 years, but it has finally reached the last roll of a supersized toilet paper order. While the town saved €1,000 with the bulk order, it's planning to establish regular deliveries of two-ply.

    Sounds like the McDonalds incident in the past

    Good Friday Early Afternoon! :)
    Its packing day...I also washed, dried and remade my bed sheets! While I will of course sleep on them tonite, I will come home to clean crisp sheets :). I have at this point 'piles/stacks' of this and that...it will all come together tonite before I sleep! In the morning I can unload the dishwasher, and run the sweeper...and that will be nice to come home to also!
    Tom E. has been an insistent whiny hiny this morning! He's napping now, probably wore himself out fussing! Did I tell you that he's learned to 'play' a bit with the feathered cat toy? He's never before been interested in anything 'playful'. So now that he's very near 15 years old he starts?? Crazy cat!
    Hi Valerie
    So today is D-Day for You trip :smiley:

    I wonder if Tom E. senses that You are going away ? Who takes care of Him while You enjoy a vacation, Your Son ?

    I would have thought that a feathered cat toy would be a instant hit.
    I'm going to see if I can load a short video that I swiped this morning from the internet. Its about a lap full of puppies! :) And no, I never want to 'start from scratch' with training a puppy. Should I ever get a dog, it will be young, but not a puppy. Pups are cute...and destructive!! LOL!

    Ok, time to go locate the suit case, my duffle bag, and move the 'food and accessories' from the front room, to a central location. That box is pretty well packed. So, this shouldn't take too awfully long. And the electronic devices won't get readied until tomorrow morning.
    I was planning to eat out tonite, but somehow my food stuff has multiplied?? there is enough here to just heat and eat and put the dish and fork into the dishwasher and unload in the morning. :) or :(. Not at all sure!!! I'll eat out when I return...Sweet Tom's has their Potato Leek soup you see..............

    Later...
    I do not see why the video should not play depending on how You swiped it of course.

    Better to use the food than to have it go to waste IMO. Food and Accessories ?

    Enjoy Yourself and have a good Saint Patties Day. Do You have Your Green hat ready for Sunday ? I just looked up at mine where it lives on top of the Bookshelf for tomorrows walk.
