Outside chores done E muffin time.
Watching game last evening Mrs. ask what that strange noise outside turn on deck lights Boo was playing rolling around with iron sun dial guess I better get him some more pumpkins.

did anyone else get a form from SS about signing up for their "new" online services?
they mail you a letter with instructions on how to set it up with a one time code that expires in 60 days.
going to work on that today. They call this an "advanced account". Really?
just keep sending my check...

ads for abortion access for PA voters showing up on right.
boy will we all be glad when this is done

only project for today is remaking the bed in rv. Threw out the foam topper, and both the blanket and comforter washed just fine
in my washing machine. I really hate making beds.

Ted, tell Dona I'm coming back to take her out dancing so she'd better get more spry...

Good morning! 62˚F and staying in the 60s all day. We had 1.5" of rain last night or there about. My Tempest weather station stopped reporting. It has been going off line frequently in the dark. Last time they sent me a new outside station because the battery is not replaceable. I have sent them emails but no reply yet. The batteries should last more than 3 years or be replaceable.
The AC in the car is out and will take it in today. AC is used year round. I have been looking at the RAV4s may have to look harder.

if the Gulf of Mexico keeps heating up, weather for Texas and rest of us in East is just going to get more intense.
this coming storm is not supposed to be as bad as last ones due to cooler Gulf.

Good morning TBN!! 55vdegrees this morning and wet going to 70 and wet. Rain is welcome since there has been none since Helene and it's light so good for everything
Easy day yesterday. Leaf control probably for the last time as wet leaves don't blow so well and I ain't raking!
Most of the rest of the time was walking the dog looking at what I should have been doing besides walking. 12.5k steps. My app counts floors too 33 floors. Haven't seen any actual stairs in a long time
Plan today is to vote!! Then Errands
I will have to pull my ladder bridge outta the river because of rain and may be heavier on Thur so we will get everything we need to do for the week done. I can drive the truck across if we don't get to heavy.

Time to finish coffee and get started. Have a great and safe day!!!

Don small suv easier to get in and out vs car, more senior friendly
Too bad Toyota or Honda don't make a "Texas Edition" like GM...
you have a good looking five star safety rated sport sedan and going to have to give up
a little zip going to compact suv. If driving excitement not an issue, then hard to beat Toyota hybrid.
The plug in versions can be more powerful and you likely do mostly local driving. And you have a garage.
Let us know how the Kia service went.

Happy, send that rain up here please.

Leaf patrol is hopefully done for this year, there are some small beech trees along the driveway that are holding onto their leaves and may need some touch up. Now onto bigger and better things , no idea what that may be but I’m sure something will appear.

That's good. I need to get some blown away yet..

concerning Medicare Advantage, I've heard they are more like an HMO, a little lower cost, but more restrictions.

Thomas,
Boo just had TOO MUCH TIME ON HIS HANDS

 

[plowhog]

new tires for me and emptying the wallet at Costco

Oh yes-- time for new rubber on my truck considering how frequently I drive through Donner Summit in ice and snow.

Finally got Rigby's new fence finished. Did a marathon session yesterday applying the sealer and UV protection to the cedar wood. Feeling it today-- I'm not as young as I used to be, lol.

Rigby has overcome his fear of other dogs. We recently introduced him to two dogs and it went well even though both were bigger. One was an 85lb mixed breed. The other a 120lb cane corso. But he is a gentle giant dog.

Everyone have a great day!!!
