Had the noise on post and enough water came down just to dirty up the windscreen of the parked vehicles.

and tomorrow I will be another year closer to the half century mark! NOOOOOOOOO!

Happy Birthday, Swmo! Isn't that interesting - every year in December I'm going to be a year further from the half century mark!

Let us know how all that fishin' gear works out, you hear?

I had to use my wipers from the office to just past the Home Depot. Heavy, but brief and isolated.

Typical Arizona rain....

Good evening, TheLion....I had a cat that liked to sit in the dryer....had to be VERY careful he wasn’t in there. So sorry for your friend.

Evening Ma....ya know, I just really need to get some “real” glasses. lol

I think the drugstore ones aren’t really good for my eyes. I’ve just been in denial that I really need some.

The ducks are outsmarting me. Isn’t THAT embarrassing! Every idea I come up to keep them away they thwart & just seem to mock me! *grin*

I’ve never tried windex for a tight ring but I know a really neat string trick.

Good evening to you also Kathy.

I do have a household hint. Cleaning the outside of the house and areas that get moldy. I take a garden sprayer attached to a hoseand fill it with bleach. The mixture comes out 50/50. It is much more powerful in this form than straight bleach. Let it sit awhile to work and then repeat the proscess if needed. Rinse everything afterward with just water. The bleach does not harm anything to my knowledge. I’ve used it for a number of years.

[SandRat]

Remind you of anyone???
