Howdy, luvie.
How has your day been?
Hey there, radu!
It’s been great...except for having to get up early and having to get dressed up with makeup and all for church. LOL!
How was yours? I hope you had some sunshine even though I see that it’s still pretty chilly.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how are the knees doing? A tad better I hope.
Glad Tippy is adjusting to your shorter walks, and waiting for Mom to feel better.
YEAH, OF COURSE WE GOT THAT FREEZE. DOWN TO SINGLE DIGITS. WORRIED ABOUT PIPE FREEZES. BUT, AFTER A FEW DAYS IT WARMED UP INTO THE 50’S, MID 40’S, FREEZE THAWED INTO MUD, AND IT’S STILL NOT FROZE SOLID...WHICH IS OK WITH ME.
AS FOR KILLING OFF BUGS, WELL TAHITI NEVER HAS A FREEZE, THEY’VE GOT BUGS OF ALL SORTS, SOME (I HEAR) THE SIZE OF RHINOS, AND THOSE FOLKS MANAGE TO DO JUST FINE.
I’D RATHER SWAT A RHINO THAN SHOVEL AND SHIVER. NO PLACE IS PERFECT. EVEN EDEN HAD THAT DAMNED SNAKE, BUT I’D RATHER DEAL WITH IMPERFECT IN TAHITI, THAN WINTER IN THE STATES.
I’M OFF TO THE CRYPT EARLY TONIGHT. BE GOOD, SLEEP WELL, DON’T TURN YER BACK ON THOSE CATS!
At least you don’t have to wake up early and get gussied up every day now; just once a week. LOL
It’s been a quiet day here. It was sunny and a little warmer than yesterday but not as warm as predicted. It was in the 50s everywhere else across the state though. We just made it up to 45. Not fair.
Dang it! Not fair at all. Y’all are way south of a lot of those places, so you’d expect to be warmer.
Well, I do have to get up even earlier on Friday morning. Ugh. I finally have an appointment with an orthopedic doc about my knee. I’ve had x-rays and all they showed was some arthritis, but maybe he can find out what is causing the “buckling”. Yes, it’s taken a long time. Not that I haven’t tried, though.
I was thinking you’d gotten some of that arctic blast but then thought maybe you’d been lucky enough to be just outside its southern dive.
I can do without a gazillion bugs and want it to get cold enough to kill off some more. Not enough were killed over Christmas weekend. As much as warmth year-round sounds reeeeeeeeally good, the bugs would make me miserable in no time. :-)
Be good? That takes some of the fun out of life. LOL
The cats are all fat and happy so it’s safe to turn my back. Can’t say the house is safe since they have a bad habit of getting rowdy and knocking things over. At least the breakable stuff is up and out of their way. >^..^<
Sleep well and I hope tomorrow’s a good day.
Yeah, not fair at all. I don’t know how we got stuck in a cold pocket today. It still felt a lot better than yesterday though.
So you finally got an appointment to have that knee checked out? Good! You need to find out what’s going on with it. I hope no more damage has been done over the past several weeks.
How's everyone doing this morning?
Good evening, radu...when is the RAIN supposed to show up?
Is your well full? Is it warming up yet?
Thank you Kathy! Busy and slow times here in Buffalo.
Working on my car is good fun but damn it’s also been cold.
Cold makes my back hurt like the dickens.
But I’m determined. I hope, don’t quote me, I hope to have it running within two weeks.
Then the body work and paint. That will take time.
For the most part it’s much better. Then I’ll get up or move wrong and the pain comes back and I hobble to where it is I need to be. I haven’t fallen again, but I find that I’m overly cautious and that bugs me, too. LOL! I do still use the brace at times when there is some weakness. Otherwise, I don’t. It feels like it is cutting the circulation off. Bah. I hate being puny.
I hope that tomorrow feels even better than today. Are you getting some sunshine, or is it still rainy and cloudy? No snow. Uh-uh!
GOOD EVENING, TIGERHAWK...HOVERING IN THE MID 20s TIL LATE NEXT WEEK, THEN THEY SAY POSSIBLE SNOW FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THEY DON’T ALWAYS GET IT RIGHT, SO WE WILL JUST WAIT AND SEE.
GLAD YOU ENJOYED THIS EVENING’S HERO STORY.
KEEPING THE FAITH AS BEST I CAN.
AND YOU STAY WARM AND DRY!
IF the fog got over this far, I didn’t notice. The sun kept trying to come out most of the day, but without a lot of success.
Only heard a couple ducks quacking in the creek last night, but I didn’t hear any tonight. And no one has tried to get to the deck. Deck and railing not sporting a single duck print.
Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
Did you and Gizmo have a good run yesterday? Enjoy your Sonic dinner?
You MUST stay warm...a hurting back is awful!!
Oh boy...getting close to running. What a huge milestone!!
Are you able to do the body work yourself? What color paint?
