Good morning!!!!

Buppies, you’re dealing with a hard to solve problem. My mother got so bad with memory events Finally had to take her to Emergency. One event her neighbor had to call police. They had to have EMS take her to emergency. This went on for almost 2 years. Her Dr finally made a diagnosis of the problem About 6 months later we found a place for her to stay.

Ron, what is your preferred coffee? You may be one who likes coffee as much as I do. I drink a pot by myself throughout the day. Prefer coffee with chichory.

I like my coffee. But it is just Folgers Classic Roast. I use a Mr Coffee drip coffee maker. Use Bunn filters. Put 1 oz of coffee grounds in it. 24 oz reverse osmosis water. Then press start button. coffee ends up in a thermo pot. I do not let set on a warming plate. Drink about 20 oz of coffee a day.

Guess my old computer doesn’t like rainy Mondays either, couldn’t get it to wake up. Just sat there spinning, no message what was happening. So did a hard reboot, then another. Finally it came up and said it’s updating, very slowly. Been at this over an hour so far.
I hate computers.

Thought you were a retired professional

Nasty looking tree,do the birds make nest upon them?

North Bay trip went off without a hitch, except that we forgot my bottled water. We can get that on Thursday in town. Have to go back up to NB tomorrow. The place where I drop off my medical was closed for whatever reason/excuse. Supposed to be open from 9 A.M. till 5 P.M., got there at 9:20 A.M. Oh well, it is only another $40.oo worth of fuel pissed up against the wall.

The Canadian nanny state has decreed that the consumer cannot use creosote as a wood preservative any more. It is a good thing I have about 5 gallons of used motor oil hanging around.

55F and overcast @ 15:15, calling for a high of 57F for the day. Calling for a high of 66F tomorrow ... but it's supposed to rain ...

Got those 2 elephant ear bulbs planted last night.

Also planted a tray of 72 pepper seeds, 12 each of:

Habanero
Jalapeno Early
Hot Lemon
Orange Pepperocini
Red Bell
Green Bell

Looks like Burpee is pretty generous with seeds, probably have enough left to do another couple of trays.

As of this morning the 1st tomato seedling has come up ... it's around 1" high ...

Agenda for today:

Get the 1st of the month bills scheduled for payment and handle some banking.

Move shelf from garage for aquarium stand planter rack which should now be dry and get it put on the rack.

Move starter tray of pepper seeds off the top of old refrigerator onto rack where they can get some sun.

Prep another starter tray and get some cabbage and broccoli seeds planted.

Have a 24" x 72" folding table in one of the bedrooms I want to move into the living room, in front of the picture window to use for seed trays ... but it needs some horizontal surface mining (cleared off) first. It will probably hold 5 or more seed starter trays.

Repair door on armoire in that bedroom. Will need extra long screw. It may get used to store some of what is on the table mentioned above.

Woman's neighbor friend just dropped off some caladium bulbs, will see if She wants those planted.

Hope everyone is having a decent Monday ...

Thought you were a retired professional

which is why I hate them

I should have said I hate Microsoft.

It took over 2 hrs to get the laptop updated.
Good news is I got the photos rescanned and nicely labeled and backed up. The labeling is what takes so long, but it sure helps to find pics later.
Many I don’t know the year, these are mostly between 1944 and 1948. Many I can tell the location taken so add that to the label.
