Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

Interesting day.
Eclipse was a bust here, too overcast. Listening to the banter of the radio DJ’s while driving to town at least made missing it funny.

Good, but long appointment at eye doc. Got a good exam for new prescription but Dr suggested we do a laser clean up first, so back in two weeks. Apparently it’s possible to get some sort of cloudiness he has been tracking since early on. Many even better vision after?

And then the dentist. Cleaning went well, my usual scolding to do better. I have 2 molar fillings courtesy of my Army Dentist circa early 80’s. Dentist want to cap one, could see it separating from tooth and replace the 2nd. I think those fillings are older than the dentist. That work starts next Monday. Est less than $800. The fluoride treatment tasted awful. Good luck with yours, Drew.

Got home in time to finish up my shrimp scampi with egg noodles for Happy Hour. A good send off for our visiting members. Someone brought a Jenga game. I amazed everyone, especially myself, removing 2 blocks same time.

Thanks for dash cam report Dennis. I won’t see mine until later next week - speedy Amazon shipping.

Our rain continues.

good morning all
wow the heat is on, high in upper 70's today.
After getting car inspected, coming home to plant bush beans and work on flowers
on a beautiful day. First I'm going to get on phone and call other oral surgeons locally since my
primary dentist never called back. i would sure rather be planting beans...
tooth is better this morning, antibiotics worked but not sure I just want to wish and hope it goes away.

Ron, eagles are just the coolest birds. Right up there with owls in my book and your sand cranes.

I'm glad you guys are getting dash cams. They are so cheap now to me the only concern is the ugly cord hanging down and I really
don't want to take the Volvo's dash apart to hide it. My experience with plastic connectors in cars is not good. And there is always some trick
to getting stuff apart and for sure no rattle when done.

I wonder how the Virginia police tell dash cams apart from radar detectors, which are illegal in that state. Some of them look pretty similar and some are built in like the Garmin.

hope you all have a nice day

Tbn wouldn’t let me edit my last post.
Calling for rain starting tonight, so will try to get mowing done. Gonna have to mow in VA soon. Last year did VA first mowing end of April and was tall in some places, not in others.
So much to do and I get so little done any more.

LS, where are you???

Good morning, the low is 42 and going to a high of 66°F. Wind ESE 8 mph. 40% chance of showers.

I will leave here about 9 or so, go to the bank, then the gas station, after that it will be Tim Hortons in Burks Falls for breakfast on the go and off to Newmarket. I should arrive in Newmarket about 1 P.M.
Supper will be at the Mandarin Chinese Food Buffet for a pig out. It will be mostly torpedo shrimp and Kung Poa chicken. I will have some rabbit food to start with shrimps. Zero dessert. I'm on a diet. A special diet, a sea food diet. I see food, I eat it. lol

Nice baldies Ron.

Somebody on Sirius is on a Roy Orbison kick...Apache playing now.

Have a safe day all

Burpee just emailed a confirmation that my little Fignomenal Fig tree has shipped, which I will put in a big outdoor pot,
and hopefully be able to drag inside for the winter. Maybe...let's see how big it gets. I really am not a fig person, though always liked
fig newtons as a kid. As usual, I give this stuff away.
Burpee also confirmed shipping an Early Girl tomato, an Atlas hybrid tomato, a peppigrande red hybrid sweet pepper, a Costa Rican hybrid sweet pepper, a poblano pepper and lastly some
Kentucky Colonel mint.

once this stuff is planted, I head for the nursery at Rice's Market a mile away and go nuts among all their veggies. Actually, going to price check them first; they used to be a really good deal, not any more. My favorite is a place called Bountiful Acres in Lahaska, which I've been going to since I was a child. They are more expensive, much higher quality, and they give you "bonus bucks" you can come back in June and spend. I spent 600 dollars there last Spring (buying all my stuff, not growing them like this year)
so I got 60 dollars in bonus bucks to use for anything in store.
They've been doing this a long time.
I have about thirty bonus bucks so far, probably will buy a small shrub with it in June.

and of course the cost of this is built into the product but it's fun anyway. Fun is good.

there have been some multiple posts recently, I'm wondering if the TBN mainframe is having indigestion.
