RS, if you look in the cats' belly you may find your missing bird.

I got the North Bay shopping trip done in 4 hours up and back. Averaged 24 mpg U.S. at 75 mph. That included the in town running, so that isn't all that bad for a 2013 Dodge Journey with the V6 VVT engine.

I found out yesterday that my orange kitten (Tom-tree Kat [Tom for short]) likes cooked carrots, but today he turned his nose up at asparagus. He really likes peanut butter, mashed potatoes and yogurt. He also likes spaghetti sauce, I give him a saucer of milk after the sauce seeing as I like it a little hot/spicy.

Yes, today is a day to reflect on the men and women that fought and died so that we could be free.

Everything was dry here when I took the garbage and the recycling bin out this morning before daylight. But then we started getting a sprinkling of rain shortly after daylight. We mostly just had off and on light rain until just before noon. When it stopped just before noon, I poured about .52" of rain out of the gauge. Then I drove up through town to see if there were any Memorial Day parades, and such, but didn't see a thing going on. It did seem that the parking lots were full at all the restaurants, and cars lined up at the fast food places, parking lots had lots of vehicles at Walmart and Sam's Club.

So I came home to watch the boob tube and kill time, but it started to rain again around 3 p.m. and before long we were getting a frog stranglin' gully washer and they broke in on the TV at least 3 times with severe weather alerts, etc. And I THINK the rain is now about over and I can see about 2.52" in the gauge.

So that brings me to just over 3" of rain today, and about 10.3" of rain and 11 rainy days for the month.

Spent more time unloading and looking over my “new” cabinets than anticipated. Looks like they can all be used in the caretaker kitchen. Somehow I only ended up with 10 units. Missing the over the microwave upper unit and I didn’t take the quite damaged Lazy Susan corner unit, which I knew I couldn’t use. The micro wave unit as a maybe at best,not worth making a special trip.
The cabinets are all real wood/plywood, not mdf, particle board, or some other composite. The lower units will need some repair

But the uppers appear newer and in excellent shape.

Maybe the best $200 I’ve spent recently.

Did get some more sheetrock hung, maybe 6 more sheets to finish the container portion. Tomorrow

Dad enlisted as a volunteer in the R.C.A.F. 1942, his brother was rejected because he was honest and told them he'd had Scarlet fever. He went to the Army the next day and lied, he went into the tank corps and Europe. Dad was at a 'secret' base in Northern Quebec. The mail for RCAF base Baggotville, Que. went to England and then back to Quebec. They both came home and got the volunteer service medal and the brother got the European service medal as well. Neither one would say much about the war.
Dad got treed by a bear when he tried to befriend a cute little black puppy. Momma bear was not impressed. His Sgt. friend scared it off with his Thompson.
After I was born, Mom made Dad promise NEVER to teach me about guns. He was a gun plumber (Armourer) the Air force, and an instructor.
My Grandfather on Dads side got conscripted into WW1 and transferred to the R.A.F., he was a Pilot Officer when he was mustered out at the end of that war.
May they all rest in peace.

Been a miserable weekend since Saturday...aches and pains, no appetite...definitely crappy. Haven't even been on the computer since Saturday.
I looked up the symptoms of COVID and I think I'd better get tested. With the exception of coughing and shortness of breath, got all the others...
