Getting ready for Passover.

God bless you!

Howdy, luvie.

Were your kitties basking in the heat today? LOL Probably felt good to them after the cold snap since their winter coats are probably shed by now.

Nice day here. It made it up to 70. I was finally able to get started on mowing and the front yard looks so much better now. I had to wait for one of my guardian angels to show up to remove the plug from the end of the hose so I could drain the durn oil from Champ. It was screwed in tight and I didn’t have enough ‘grunt’ to unscrew it. Bobby came out after he got off work and a few minutes later, Champ and I were off.
Now recuperating. LOL

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

It was pretty toasty here today. Depending on which app you use, it was either 89 or 90. Both are waaaaaaaay too toasty for me. But it felt pretty good in the shade, so the kitties were happy.

I started getting cold chills this evening in spite of the heat and had to change from my regular jammies to sweats. Not one bit of fever. No clue what the deal was. I think, though, I’m gonna have to change again. I’m warmin’ up.

70 sounds better, especially since you had to actually work. Glad you got the yard mowed, and I’ll bet it looks 100% better. And thank you, Bobby!

Howdy, Janey! What kind of flying have you been up to this week?

[radu]

Yuck! It got a little too warm there today. I didn’t think it would get that hot until the weekend.

Weird that you had chills but no fever. Glad you’re warming up again. Whatever was bugging you seems to have let go.

Mowing isn’t all that much work really. The arms get a workout but the rest of me is sitting. LOL It was kinda nice to get back out there again. The front yard looks good but it makes the back yard look awful. It’ll have to wait because we’ll have rain and storms tomorrow. Some could be severe, they’re saying now. *sigh*

[luvie]

Drat! It’s a shame you won’t get a chance to do the rest of the lawn. It would drive my OCD craaaazeeee! LOL!

Sunday, it’s supposed to be up to 97. 😭😳🥵 NOT good!

[PROCON]

Thanks for remembering and honoring our Troops tonight!

You know we love them. Thank YOU for your service. Hope you’re feeling well! (((hugs))) <-—HeeHee

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

Yesterday at Wichita Ridge:

Up early because I'm trying to get everything done before ISP begins server maintenance.

How's everyone doing this morning?

[radu]

Yeah, that darn plug held me up this week. I still have the back yard and the yard at the old house to do. Charlie was here yesterday and got the field areas mowed AND he mowed along the driveway.

We’ll be cool Fri. and Sat. behind the front coming through tomorrow. Low 60s but sunny. IF the grass dries enough, I can mow Saturday. Sunday will be like today and I can definitely mow then.

Monday will be the hottest day out of the next 10 at 80 degrees. Low 70s after that, and that’s where we should be.

Unbelievable you’re going to be so hot Sunday! Wow!
