Good morning;
It is currently 39F with a high of 69F.
Ed-good for you getting out and voting early.
I have already transitioned into long pants and long sleeve shirts and sometimes a sweater.
Today the project is cleaning out the filter in the septic system. Hubby will open the cover, but I get the
job of cleaning the filter. He has a very week stomach and would probably get sick and be no good for
the rest of the day. I on the other hand have a very strong constitution.
We went out for lunch yesterday. I had chicken, broccoli and penne with a chopped side salad. I took half
home and had the rest or dinner. Hubby had chicken piccata.
Have a great day.

hi Ed and Jo,
our weather has been a little cooler but next week will be warming up take care

Good evening;
It is currently 70F, a big change from the cooler weather we had at the beginning of the week.
We went to the last farmer's market of the season. We also burned some more branches. The pile is slowly coming down.
Ed-your plants looks good. Did you just stick the pieces right in the dirt or did they have to root in water first?
Hi Irene-your walks will be nice with the warmer weather.
Have a good evening.

Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday!

We have 8 (C) clear degrees with an expected sunny high of 26 and 2% chance of precipitation.

I just let the pieces "harden" for a few hours then stuck the base in the dirt. These would likely rot if you tried to root them in water.

Nothing critical on the agenda but my usual work day.

Scam of the Week

Don’t Fall for This Blackmail Scam

Cybercriminals are always looking for ways to trick you into acting impulsively, and this scam is no exception. They obtain your personal information through data breaches and then use photos of your home accessed from Google Maps to play on your emotions. They claim that they have videos of you and other personal information that they will release if you don't pay a ransom.

In this scam, you receive an email with an attachment containing a photo of your home and your street address. The scammers claim they know where you live and that they’ve hacked into your home computer to take videos of you using its camera. Then, they threaten to release the footage if you don’t pay them with Bitcoin immediately. The photo of your home makes it seem like they could have actual videos of you, making their scam terrifying and convincing. The catch is that the cybercriminals don’t have any videos of you in your home. They are trying to scare you into giving them your money! 

Follow these tips to avoid falling victim to this blackmail scam: 

Never click a link or download an attachment in an unexpected email. If you receive a similar email, do not respond or pay the ransom. Attacks like these are designed to catch you off guard and trigger you to act impulsively.  Be careful with the personal information you share online. Cybercriminals can use this information to target you in phishing attacks.

good morning all
I'm running late, so will get back to you tomorrow. Seems like everything is going well with you all. Great work with the burro's tail, Ed.
Vacation was wonderful.
Jo!!!

And many more!!!
Wishing all a great day! 🌞🍎🍂🕊️

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

We have 11 (C) foggy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 27 and 2% chance of precipitation.

I got my flu shot and RSV shot. I'm not due yet for anything else but Covid and I'll get that at Walgreens next week I guess. My doctor didn't have that one available.

My left arm is a bit sore from the flu shot. The right arm, where I got the RSV shot is not so bad, but a teensy bit of soreness.

While I was out and about I did get my Medicare part B all straightened out at the Social Security office, did a little shopping, came home and cooked a late lunch (cheeseburger Palm Beach) and then took a couple of items to Goodwill. Never even activated the screen on the work computer so a full day off succesfully accomplished!

I find that when I have a late morning appointment that just messes up my whole work day if I try to work the afternoon. I feel rushed and behind and just all discombobulated. I'm glad I planned the whole day off this time. That worked out well for me.

But now...back to work!

Good afternoon;
Thanks for the birthday wishes.
Currently73F with a high of 76F. It is a beautiful day.
I opened the windows to air the house out.
Vix-Very nice pictures.
Ed-It is good to take a day off once in a while.
Hi Irene
I took Sam for his first vet visit. He weighs 11 lbs. and the vet thinks he is about 3 years old. He was a very good boy at
the vet. I was a little nervous because I didn't know how he would react. So now he is all up to date on his shots and I had
him chipped. He was mad at me last night, but today we are friends again.
I have an appointment for a physical this afternoon.
Enjoy your day!

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!

We have 14 (C) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 28 and 2% chance of precipitation.

Sounds like a lovely day. Too bad I have to work. LOL.

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!

We have 9 (C) clear degrees with an expected sunny high of 28 and 1% chance of precipitation.

Yesterday's demo to the big boss (company owner) went really well and he even praised me and my quality assurance work!

Today I will have plenty of testing to do I'm sure.

Dinner yesterday was spaghetti. Jason had marinara and plenty of cheese topping. Mine had all that and meatballs from the freezer too.

Good morning;
Currently 48F with a high of 62F, sunny and chilly.
Vix-good luck with your appointments.
Ed-spaghetti and meatballs, yum.
Today is grocery shopping and running errands.
Have a good day!

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!

We have 15 (C) foggy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 19 and 2% chance of precipitation.

Nothing critical on the agenda today. I do need to get to the grocery at some point this weekend, and need to buy a bag of Orion's special prescription kibble at the pet store.

It was a good work week, but I'm ready for the weekend!

Dinner last night was an omelet Palm Beach that we split, along with some crispy diced hash browns.

for breakfast I had boiled eggs, oatmeal, a banana, and orange juice.

Ready to catch up on email and stuff now.

Rachel sandwich is warm turkey, coleslaw, swiss cheese, and thousand island on rye.
What is an omelet Palm Beach, Ed?

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!

We have 17 (C) degrees. The weather channel site says there is a rain shower, but not at our house. We have an expected cloudy high of 23 and 50% chance of precipitation.

Regardless, I need to get some shopping done today, so that will be happening.

Nothing else critical on the agenda.

When the recipe was given to me, it was called an omelet Palm Beach. I'm not sure where the name came from, but presumably an omelet Palm Beach or Cheeseburger Palm Beach was supposedly called that because of the use of pimento cheese as the filling or topping.

Now it really makes more sense to just say a pimento cheese omelet, but I must say Omelet Palm Beach sounds fancier.

Speaking of pimento cheese, the same friend also clued me in to something his family had always done, and I still do. Pimento cheese, whether homemade or store bought, is amazing if you add sweet pickle relish or minced sweet gherkin to it. There wasn't any exact amount, though he usually used, I think, 1 minced sweet gherkin to about a cup of cheese, one small jar of pimento, drained, and enough mayonnaise to make it spreadable, but not runny.

He didn't actually mince any of it but used a food grinder to push chunks of cheese and the gherkins through, then adding the mayonnaise and pimento.

I usually use sweet pickle relish and shredded cheese now. It really does make a very tasty spread.

good morning
Ed, the omelet Palm Beach sounds good. I haven't had pimento cheese in ages.
I caught up with bills and realized I hadn't checked my bank statements in 4 months, so I got that done. I swept some leaves off the deck, checked to see if any more of the outdoor coleus was intact (no, it wasn't), and potted the coleus I had brought in before our trip. It had lost a lot of leaves and wasn't looking so healthy. I did some laundry, and mending, and somehow filled up the day.
It's currently 37F, 3C. Sunny. High 63F, 17C. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.
I have my annual gyn appt today, and will see what else the day brings.
Wishing all a bright shiny new week! .🌞☕🍂🎃🕊️
