Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning all
surprisingly warm here, 49 out now, clearing up this afternoon after some morning showers.
I was hoping to get a car wash this morning, will have to wait. Really don't want to drain the garden hoses again and
wash car myself.

one "dream" of mine was always to have a garage with a car wash station in it, meaning drain holes in the floor,
lots of heat and light, a good stereo cranked in the background, and then wash the car. Not going to happen but I can dream...

no other plans for today, so warm out need to get outside for a dose of fresh air.
of course this warm weather will disappear shortly and then a very cold stretch before Christmas.
I saw one tiny yellow forsythia flower yesterday.
sounds like a good day to work in the garage, have two more sets of shelves to hang.

hope you all have good day

53 going to 64. What? Maybe I'll go swimming with Della today.

Ron, sorry you hit the inconsiderate crowd. Seems like some days when I'm shopping, I have a wonderful time chatting with friendly folks and it really adds a positive charge to the day. Then with no predictability, there will be opposite days, like you had.

Had a routine checkup at the dentist early yesterday...went well...got the best cleaning I've ever had...skipped breakfast before I went, and they did a fluoride treatment, so had to wait 2 hours before eating...so did some Christmas shopping, then was pretty hungry by 11:30, and there was a 5 Guys right in front of me...so took out a 20 dollar bill and had a feast.

The space station is supposed to fly over in about 15 minutes, so guess I'll go wave, but think the clouds are gonna keep them from seeing me.

37F rain showers should be ending around 7:30am high upper 40's.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...8 hours t part store afterwards haven't a clue.

Enjoy your day all.

lane control both inside and outside Costco is always challenging.
parking maneuvers that would rival a good boat ramp for entertainment...
inside you've got folks not "driving on the right", carts coming at each other, and some
folks clearly in a much bigger rush than I am. Only time I'd hustle if there was frozen food in there.
and then they just abandon their carts in middle of aisle and walk off to shop.
not much situational awareness, being self focused in a crowded area

only time I get really annoyed is when crowded too close, like in the checkout line. I try to keep as much space as I can away
from others, but then folks come right up behind you. I bet they are tailgaters out on the road too.

I also think every encounter is an opportunity for kindness. Sometimes that works and
clearly sometimes it doesn't.
I've had much better experiences in local grocery store. You can stop and joke with folks.
Yesterday someone said loudly good looking to a friend nearby. So of course a few of us turned around
and said me?, which everyone laughed about.

I know this is sappy but like Readers Digest said, laughter is the best medicine.

Wngsprd, the stupidest thing I saw was 20 people lined up to use self checkout. I ran my cart along side of the line to the line of 8 attended checkout register's. Only one person at each register waiting to checkout. The one I chose had no one waiting.

56 outside right now, heading to lower 60's today. Sounds nice doesn't it.

More paper work is the order of the day. I'll try and sneak outside sometime. Maybe go play with not my dog and pickup sticks.

MIL coming to town, this week. It ain't Santa. LOL. I'll still be nice.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

I'm sure some folks have good luck with self checkout but every time I have tried something has been missing a label,
or somehow doesn't scan. I'm surprised they still have self checkout, so much opportunity to steal

Riptides I'm still trying to keep my 98 year old MIL happy. Chocolates work fine.

good morning, 45 going to 57 very mild weather with lots of fog this morning

Walked Cody with the headlight but not much visibility due to fog

Picking up groceries this morning

Hope to be able to go up to the shop and continue on pending items waiting for me

The mini split is going and may wait with firing up the wood stove.
It is easy to start using newspaper as starters. Take 2 or 3 sheets and roll it the long way corner to corner, twist it and make a knot. Use 3 or 4 to start and add kindlings that is saved from the debris that naturally happens during splitting of firewood. The ends go on fire first time lit and off it goes.
