Most excellent addition....

I may have to put on 72....she hates the Dead.....me and 16 year old like them
Have you seen the post-Jerry Dead? I never have. Just seems wrong. Last time I saw ‘em was in ‘87 in Ventura.
Small Faces. Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake? Haven’t heard their music in ages. I think Kenney Jones might be the only surviving member now.
Good evening, radu...is some of the bad weather and rain going to make it to you?
Santana’s “Moonflower” as well...
Howdy, Kathy.
Nope. No rain for us. It drowned parts of the state this evening but nothing got close to us. Again.
How’d your day go? Smoothly, I hope.
Is your mom behaving this evening and giving you a well-deserved break?
It was a good morning. I took the afternoon off, even tho my 2pm appointment was postponed til next Thursday. I dropped my friend off so she could pick up her car, then on to Lowes to scout out solar generators. Ended up talking about whole house generators that come on by themselves when needed.
A dream, but upwards of $15,000 last time I looked...not going to happen. But they give free estimates and there is financing and I can dream and learn what I really would need. We’ve got a gasoline generator, but I don’t want all the issues that go with it...needing gasoline, oil, dragging it outside, pull start, long extension cords, electrical panel manipulation. And I have to be home to do all that stuff. So I made an appointment to have the guy come out.
Then this evening the screen man came and measured for 5 new screens. 4 windows the same size, but all had a little different dimensions. They were a lot less expensive than I thought. They should be ready in 2 1/2 to 3 weeks. Finally I will be able to get some cross ventilation.
Busy day, lots of walking and standing...knees are screaming. Funny thing...the guy that I talked to about generators was seated...seems he just recently had a knee replacement.
((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. How's it going?
Not a bad day at all. :-)
Whew, it stinks that those whole house generators are so steep in price. They’re a nice thing to have. Dad had one installed at his house a year or so before he died because they live on the FL coast. Hurricanes and bad storms have a tendency to knock the power out and he and his wife were to the point they just couldn’t head out of town any more.
A bad storm knocked out the power earlier this year and my step-mom told me that generator kicked right on.
We have three generators like you have - - gasoline. They’re a pain but sure are nice to have when needed. Better than nothing at all. When the tornado hit a few years ago, we used one to keep the freezers going and to occasionally use our computers. The more you plug in, the more gas that thing uses so we kept it to a minimum.
Glad you got your screens ordered at last. It’ll be nice to open those windows for the breeze. Not much longer now!
Sounds like your knees could use a tub session. :-)
Ramblin’ Rose...sweet!
Long, long ago...with Lew...
