68°F and 0 measurable rain last 24 hours

Crew One, Space X launch was exciting. Wife and I compared to what we watched growing up. Amazing.

Expect to get my 2 doors installed, then get doors and Windows trimmed.

Zoom Happy Hour this afternoon- such a social life.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good morning all, 34 going up to 53, sunny and cold.
Spitting-have not heard that in years, since we were up in MA. Say drizzle in NY, NJ PA.

Roy - sorry to hear about your neighbor - our thoughts for the family
May have BIL/SIL but probably not, My Brother and SIL will be here day after if the states don;t close down again
Fox last night in our yard when we went to walk dog, boy can they run

Had to go into Manhattan (NYC) yesterday, will need to go in Friday too.
Was weird since I had not been there since March.
Streets empty, no traffic, Lincoln tunnel in, GW bridge out, no traffic until Mid NJ since everyone felt it more important to be using phone than driving.
Not fun watching the swerving at 75 mph due to people with phones, and luckily all the accidents were in the other direction. All rear enders, wonder if those texts are so important?

No Paper towels in most stores again.

Stay safe and be well

Don. We aren’t planning our TDay gathering, just as we didn’t have a Spring or 4th of July gathering. Several folk have already mentioned missing these annual socials. Got an email last week from the couple planning this year’s Christmas party cancelling the reservation for the county park hall for this year. Our neighbor who hosts the annual neighborhood Christmas gathering has already expressed concern it might not happen this year.

Company usually has a holiday party every year for each location. They chose not to this year. Instead they gave us each a link and access code to Omaha steaks website.

With three options.

Steaks, chops, chicken, burgers and dogs.

Steaks, shrimp, and stuffed sole.

Or seafood: 4 split lobster tails with 2 types of salmon filets.

The first and third options came with potatoes au gratin, and caramel apple tartlets.

I chose the steaks and chops option. I'm not a fan of frozen seafood or fish.

What, no plant based options?

Steaks, chops, chicken, burgers and dogs. All ate grass (plants) before they died.:laughing:

Right now . . . or so far . . . Younger daughter and granddaughter are planning for us and older daughter and her husband to get together for Thanksgiving at younger daughter's home. So 6 of us from 3 households. Of course, my wife has an appointment in the morning for cataract surgery on one eye, then will go to the doctor's office for follow-up the next day. And who knows from there. Then Monday, week from today, I have an appointment with that same eye doctor. Sure hope he can do something worthwhile with my right eye.

So whether we get together for Thanksgiving isn't sure yet. They expect me to bake a ham and make the deviled eggs.:confused2:

Yeah, they did. Coworker pointed it out. Apparently there was a "see all options" button

The vegetarians are getting screwed. That option is 16 veggie burgers that looked like they were made out of pressed baby poop. Some succotash, green beans, and the caramel apple tarts.

We are going to our son's in-laws house for Thanksgiving dinner. We'll bring a couple desserts, and a side dish. Then Friday is a 3 hr drive up to see some other family members.

Day off to an interesting start.
As per routine I trotted out to tractor shed after my exercise bike to check our electric system. Had already checked online but there are 2 meter readings I still record every morning. System on thelow side as we have had significant cloud cover last 2 days resulting in power generation being less than usage. Thought to myself, “still time to get lucky and sun start shining before we need the generator”.
Walked back to kitchen and hit on button on the Kuerig - nothing. A quick look around and confirmed no power. Back out to tractorshed, sure enough system not putting out power. System had put out call for generator but nothing. Strange.
Well, operator head space and timing. At some point during my project work I had unplugged the battery charger. Generator doesn’t auto start with dead battery. Ahhh, but I have backup. Nope, batteries on diesel dead as well. Too complacent I guess as I haven’t needed generator power since Jan 15, 10 months. Was able to jump start generator with my diesel pump battery and get powered up. All batteries now on chargers.

Wx not cooperating for my outside project work with on and off rain.

Tomorrow...
