Good morning!!!!

[NHBX]

70° now, low 90’s and humid today. Nothing much going on here, spent much of the summer waiting for the rain to stop and things to dry out so mowing, weeding and stick picking up could be done. Now September is here it’s waiting for it to cool off so mowing, weeding and stick picking up can be done .

Prayers for those in need
Stay safe and healthy

Coffee is done brewing. 63° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 72° with cloudy skies. Thunderstorm passed thru about noon. Dropped another .3" of rain. Dentist appointment went OK. No fun having a old filling ground out and new filling put back in. Grocery shopping this morning. Then mow grass in afternoon.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

Good morning! This is one of the warmest mornings this Summer at 82˚F heat index of 87˚.
This will be another 100˚+ day.

ERCOT (The Texas power grid) was asking everyone to save energy yesterday evening because: “High demand, lower wind generation, and the declining solar generation during sunset led to lower operating reserves on the grid and eventually contributed to lower frequency, which precipitated the emergency level 2 declaration.”

They just averted rolling blackouts. Love the reliability of that green energy - not.

Today is my once a week lawn irrigation day. (before 7am or after 7pm only)

Kilroy thanks for the YouTube video that shows the devise connecting to the existing handle, I never saw my Mother use it and could not figure it out. Do you connect it to get it out of the oven, or stove top use or when would you connect it?

Nice turkey action pic Ron!

70 going to 95.

My mom had one of those CorningWare handles, too. Not sure I ever saw her use it, though.

Went backpack spraying yesterday for 3 hours...it was too hot, but I got it done.

good morning all
last of hot hot days, up into mid 90's today.
at least I'm not mowing lawn so much, nice to get a little break from that.
And more rain due in this weekend and next week.

FIOS coming this morning to hook cottage up to fiber optics.
Because Comcast is cable, Verizon has to run another line into the house, charged me 100 bucks for that.
clearly a fraction of what that service call would actually cost with a bucket truck.
Big issue for me is making sure they don't screw up my home land line.
Plus I have a school board zoom meeting this afternoon and that sure has to work.

new office chair came in late yesterday, need to put that together today
hope you all have a nice day

71 outside this AM, heading to mid 90's. 89% humidity.
Rain chances all but evaporated for today, maybe tomorrow. Storm front moving through.

It's getting really bad, drought wise. Looking at the landscape you can really tell the difference.

Hope all have a great day today. Be safe. Take care of yourselves.

You can use it hot or cold. Place the pan in the oven to heat with the handle, remove it, let it bake, put the handle back on, take it out, bring to table, place on trivet, remove handle… wonderful little invention!

When we got Verizon FiOS back in Jersey, they made us give up the copper POTS lines, which I was NOT happy about…

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly…).

65F going to low 80e, partly cloudy.

Got the front brakes done, pulled out, different vibration, called up and was told to bring it right back. Tech who worked on the job and test drove afternsays, “well your back rotors will need replacement too.” I said, “do you think telling us that little tidbit of information before we left and had vibration would have been a better idea than letting us out without a hint that we might still have a vibration while braking?”

”uhh.. . .”

So we go back again next week for the rears.

Going up the woodlot this morning while it is cool, more firewood processing and excavating adventures.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe productive blessed day!
