Good morning!!!!

[newbury]

I still have a big oak TV/stereo cabinet sitting in our family room. The newer TV sits beside it, as way to big to fit in the old spaces for a 19" tv. remember when those were big?

I remember being a newspaper delivery boy in rural Vermont in the '50's and when collecting seeing lot's of big TV/stereo units sitting with a newer TV on top. Seemed to be a standard.

Scott, good you could disappear for awhile.
Wife and I awake early, still trying to decide about a trip, more important when to go.
Ron, hard to believe Amazon can’t deliver to back porch

I believe a week or so ago I got a notice from Amazon stating that they would no longer deliver to back or side porches due to safety reasons. Now I have my own opinion of why they are changing that, but as of yet our packages are being placed in the usual spot. We shall see.

I'm hoping I solved one of life's little challenges this morning.
new detergent pods for washing machine leave a residual detergent smell
I don't like at all. Particularly if I sweat and then shirt smells worse, not better.
big washer, takes two pods for full load, was wondering if I should cut back to one.
But then an aha moment.
I looked at panel of buttons and there was one for extra rinse.
hmmmm that might just do the trick and wash the odor out better.
so I pushed that button and will see if I can tell the difference.
I always look for unscented products.
to me clean means no smell, not a fake smell

as a teenager I remember using Old Spice. And I think something called English Leather.
Last time I ever put something on me.
now I think it attracts bugs...

Dryer sheets have more scent than detergent these days.

Took ranger down to creek. You can see the new guy wire on the pole and the inspector looking.

I was able to get the ZT between it and pole, if I angle it right, but plastic mower guard still hits and bends some, but I can get thru.
Need to mow down there, gonna be bumpy.

One pod should be more then enough. These modern front loaders use so little water that I've found it requires at least one and I normally use 3 rinses. So much for the epa mandated low water usage.

That’s how I do it. Well I use the extra rinse option in settings.

Looks like one of the clown trucks for the fiber company just turned around up in my driveway. Not pull in the drive and back out on the road, they pull into my drive heading to my barn, then back towards my garage, so they can go out forward. They act like they own the place. Wonder if they tried to drive down along my creek again since I blocked it off. .

Might be time to explain to them who the property owner is, Dennis.

Had an almost hour long talk with Amazon Customer Care. Supervisor ask me not to yell at him. I said that I thought he was hard of hearing. So I raised my voice. Seems they have had many calls from people about this delivery problem. He said he sent a message to delivery station. I asked him which station that was. He gave me name of a town 10 miles from where tracking info I get for each package is. Not sure my yelling at him helped.

They acted like they didn’t understand English when I talked to them before. And I mean Acted, they understood. They cut limbs from trees, then threw them in my yard. Did same to my neighbors. They just don’t care.
