Good morning. Clouding over and they say rain by noontime, temps will be in the 60's instead of near 90 like it was yesterday. At least the breeze made it a little cooler.

I mowed the rest of the lawn last night after dinner, and then settled in for Survivor, where another overconfident tribe member went home and to the jury with an idol in their pocket. So far everyone on the jury made the same error. I heard the next season is going to bring back players from the past. I'm hoping Ozzie will be back, he's always been my favorite

I don't have any outside work to do today. So I'm going to dust and vacuum and clean bathrooms and get that out of the way.

Have a great Thursday!

Happy Friday Eve.

Late morning for me jumping on here. We didn't get the rain last night like they predicted, it all stayed south of Cincinnati. The insurance guy came out yesterday to inspect the water in my basement coming from the chimney. He said I have a 50/50 shot of it being covered. Of course nothing could be easy for me, I'm expecting a deny email this week.

My brake fluid light came on Sunday morning so Mitchell filled that up for me, sure enough it was back on yesterday . I took it over to him and he looked around, said something is leaking take it to Evan for him to look at. So I had to drive down to Evan's house and he looked and said I need a new caliber in the back. I'll have to stop at Napa and get that so him or Mitchell can install it. Bright side is that I got to see Mia last night . We took a little walk on their street, played on the swing in her backyard and then just played while Evan finished up.

Got home late and missed the first 30 minutes of Survivor, I'll go back and watch that part tonight maybe. Okay with who went home. Same for The Amazing Race, the couple that went home were kinda boring so wasn't too disappointed.

We’re already gettin’ into the triple digit “real feels” here in the Austin, Texas area.

No thanks! Even though we sometimes get that hot, and I would love to live in Florida where that's normal, I still dread those temps around here.

I heard the next season is going to bring back players from the past. I'm hoping Ozzie will be back, he's always been my favorite

Ozzie!!!!! My absolute favorite!! I'll go back and rewatch his old seasons. He wasn't a good strategic player but I loved watching him in the challenges.

Almost lunch time, eating early today. Have a great day!

Welcome to the thread, and enjoy planning that trip!!

Quiet day here. We had a ton of rain yesterday, but it's much better out today (...and our lawn guy came, so it doesn't look scraggly compared to the neighbors' anymore!)

I did some wrap-up work from the comedy night, took the cats out, and plan to run to the store in a little while. That's about it.

 

[Donalddidwhat…?!]

Thanks very much, and will do…!!!

Gettin’ outta’ hand here again today, but man do I love it…!!!!!!!

Welcome Donald! Lovely family you have. Those temps are crazy for this time of year. Thankfully right now our temps are reasonable here in MA.

@flyingdumbo127 You need to do what works for you. I hope you can find someone soon.

@bobbiwoz Hope your tooth is fixed!

Today was my in the office day. Then I had to rush back to the condo to log back in for a zoom meeting. It will be nice not to have to drive to the office next week. I took a walk after work. The sun was out for a bit of the morning but now the clouds are rolling back in. There may be some rain but I hope it holds off so the painters can come by and paint the deck door and trim. I have been overthinking my packing with trying to organize my toiletry bags. I finally just told myself to throw them into the suitcase as it and be done.

Have a good rest of the day.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Thank you dear Snowysmom. I am so thankful you have a week off, too. You work so hard and early it seems at times too. Enjoy your trip my friend

Happy Friday Eve.

Happy Friday Eve to you too…!!!
They’re predictin’ t-storms and possible hail for us later this evenin’, but I’m not seein’ anything crazy buildin’ up out there…yet.

My brake fluid light came on Sunday morning so Mitchell filled that up for me, sure enough it was back on yesterday .

Car fun…!!!!! Sorry to hear about that…!!!
About a month ago, I noticed my DWifey’s car makin’ noise on a visit to my folks. I popped the hood and noticed the main belt pulley wobbling ever so slightly…exactly as I thought, water pump on the way out. I told the shop what the problem was before we had it towed, and they still tried to charge us for a diagnostic. It was the dealership, as the car is still under warranty. Backup was doesn’t the warranty still cover the diagnostic…?!?!?! No you don’t, and they dropped the charge…!!!
I’ve worked on enough cars over the years to know what’s goin’ on.

No thanks! Even though we sometimes get that hot, and I would love to live in Florida where that's normal, I still dread those temps around here.

Yea, it’s pretty toasty even for us this time of year.

Almost lunch time, eating early today. Have a great day!

Hope you enjoyed your lunch, and that you’re havin’ a great day, as well…!!!

 

[Donalddidwhat…?!]

Thank you for the warm welcome @Snowysmom …!!!
And yes, pretty toasty, but with all the recent rain, it’s the humidity that’s really drivin’ up the “real feel” temps.
When summer hits we’ll have plenty of 105-ish static air temps…!!!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Donald, hug, humidity and I don't mix well at all especially with my TMJ. Keep cool and don't over do it in swampy weather.

 

[Snowysmom]

Good morning. It is 47 here and cloudy. I hope it doesn't rain so the painting can get done. I am not available on Friday for another 2 weeks and they may just "forget" about me at that point. People here are pretty fed up with the builder and his antics. Everyone has a story to tell, none of them good ones. I have a neighbor across the street and down a few condos who came from the same condo complex I came from which I disliked so much. I was told by another person here that he was a trustee there and I knew I recognized his name when I heard it. I went back to some old emails from that condo and sure enough, there was his name. He did not like it either but I think he was there longer than me. Small world.

Off to work. I work 6:30-2 4 days a week and 6-12 and then 1-2 on the days I drive into the office. I drive in at 5 am to avoid rush hour traffic. I drive back to the condo between 12 and 1 on the office day. I am up early so may as well get started working and get it over with!

Have a good day.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Just dear Snowysmom and always safe travel prayers my friend.

 

[footballmouse]

Happy Friday!!!

Didn't do much after work yesterday. I was going to go for a walk but I didn't want to get caught in the rain so I cleaned up the backyard, hoping the grass gets cut today. My mulch gets delivered later today. I won't be mad if Evan and Mitchell just go ahead and put it in the landscaping so I don't have to do it tomorrow. I'm hoping to get my flowers today after work and then run to Napa and get the part for my car tomorrow.

Snowysmom - that is my idea of good work schedule. I was doing 6:30-3 when we came back after the COVID shutdown but that only lasted about 8 months, then I pushed it to 7-3:30 and that stuck for quite a while and then my boss said I had to go back to my 7:30-4 schedule. I really liked the earlier hours for the less traffic and I got a better parking spot.

That's it for me. Have a great day and a wonderful Mother's Day for all the moms on here.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Enjoy your new dear Footballmouse. Prayers work has improved for you, my friend.

Thank you, and sorry for the late response…!!!
I stayed nice and cool inside…!
We had a front come through the whole Central Texas area last night with severe t-storm warnings, along with hail and possible tornadoes.
Some areas have some wind damage, but they have yet to verify whether or not it was straight-line winds or possibly tornadoes.
One area had baseball-sized hail, and another had grapefruit-sized hail…I saw pics on the news.
Through all of that, we got nary a drop of rain.
Thankfully, the cool front knocked out the humidity and brought the temps down considerably.
Our dogs are currently outside chillin’ in the cool air…!!!!!
Current weather below, and quite a difference from what I posted yesterday…



Hope all are well, and having a great day on this Friday…!!!

Just wanted to pop in real quick and say hello.
Welcome to the newer participants of this thread.
Not much to report on my end...same old stuff!
Have a good Mothers Day weekend everyone.

 

[lynxstch]

Good morning. Cloudy out and will only be upper 50's. They can't decide if we're going to have drizzle or just clouds. It dumped down rain and we had a 2 hour thunderstorm last night.

I called Dave to see if he could put up the garden fence Sunday, but he's leaving to take the grandkids to Disney World. He was hoping to do it today, but it looks like I may have to wait until he comes back. It may be Memorial Day before I can do any planting out there.

Nothing else new around here. Same old same old, just like @easyas123


Have a good day everyone
