[Thomas]

OUTSTANDING Don.

 

[daugen]

good news Mark, hope she continues to do well

Don, when I went through PT in the hospital after cancer treatment when they did not know if I had a stroke or not, I was so determined to get out of there, I ran the tail off the PT guy who walked with me.
They called me their GOAT. Greatest of all time...

I think Don is our GOAT.

just got back to rv after nice dinner at my friends, about 80 and sticky out.
I expect to be awake for six more minutes...

Morning all, 42 going up to 50 and sunny.
Made it through the travels and travails yesterday into Manhattan.

I just did not eat anything until we got home. Long day, left at 9:30 am, got home 9:30pm
With about 30 people in our group, many teenagers, it was quite loud.
No one lost.

Met up with some of my local friends and wife's city friends, Brother and his family showed up as did my cousins.
So my son's band had plenty of support.

Sorry to hear about the club RNG, may father belonged to a smaller club that used to do cross country rides, they were from all over US and got to meet many of them, they rode everywhere until they got too old.

Town inspector just came over to go see the oil burner and have a green tag now. All good.

Took day off to sleep in, knew I would be tired. Not being able to eat before/during trips is quite limiting. Lost over 18 pounds so far in three months.

Be well,

Good morning, the low temp is 32 and the high will be about 39°F. Wind WNW 7 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.

Another energy conservation day and baby my knee.

Love the motorcycle advert, Kilroy.

Have a safe day all

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee is done brewing. 26° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 53° with lots of sun. Had a nice day with son and family. Early Thanksgiving dinner went well. Later today they will be leaving for trip back to NC. Will conserve energy today while visiting with them.

Txdon, Good to hear PT is going good. Had to check to see how well I can do the stand up test. No problem doing it on a Kitchen chair. Doing it from my recliner is almost impossible.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
coffee pot brewing, 79 degrees in delray beach fl.
79 degrees at 5 in the morning, now that's different....

so much rainy weather predicted here probably won't use my bike much, thankfully my friends have loaned me their truck to use.

they popped some big news on me last night. He can't drive due to loss of control over one leg, and it's not getting better. They said their combined taxes and insurance here on their relatively modest home (for the area) was over 30k per year. So they are likely to sell their home in Doylestown, their home here, and move into a brand new home being built in a senior community in PA where he can get around better in his fleet of power chairs. This house in FL was his dream, bought to put a nice boat on the back lift, and before he got his boat, his leg gave out.
At least their investment has likely doubled here in 8 years.

today may be the only day I can get the drone up so hope to do that this morning, somewhere we can see the ocean. Otherwise owner of rv place gave me card for rv repairman and going to try again to get a mobile tech to come fix that plumbing pipe. Spare parts came in so ready to go. Not ready to have toilet ripped out but going to do what is needed. Am really hoping he can rethread that fitting. ??

train tracks aren't far from here, lot of rumbling during the night
this is an in city rv place, wedged in between several car dealerships.
But it's one mile from my friend's home so super convenient.

time for a long hot shower. Washed all my non people towels yesterday at friends so I'm ready for more leaks til fixed.

 

[Buppies]

48 this morning high in mid 60s, sorry about friend Drew. Still no rain over 9 inches down for year fire danger high.

Prayers for all silent or spoken our Country

 

[Thomas]

30F snowflakes dancing in the air,40F for high cloudy day.

Outside chores done E muffin time.

Plans for today...8 hours at parts store by the time I get home should be dark

Enjoy your day all.

 

[daugen]

Buppies, don't be sorry. They looked relieved and happy, sure they will miss this place but she can't run their successful coffee business and take care of him all day long also. New place will be totally designed for mobility devices.

I'm just sorry they never figured out a cure to my friend's neurological issue that makes his leg lose control. He has a brace on it and has another really big brace he can use. Constant worry for his wife that he will take a header and hurt himself. So I'm happy for them, and they won't be far away from me at home

just have to make the most of what you've got

Good Morning
37 and won’t get out of the 40’s under a a clear blue sky.
Yesterday’s diversion popped up before I had my cereal. Ended up going to Florida to bring a couple home to PA to be with a dying mother. Sadly they got a call on the way north that she passed away.

But that adventure occupied my entire day, no manure got moved.

Today will start with breakfast with the professor, then on to the manure pile after a (hopefully short) meeting to review a fairly complex lease with the prospective tenant.
Be interesting to see what pops up after that.

Good Morning Guys,
PC, 75 going to 86, another sunny day with a slight breeze !

Our last full day here, time to go back to reality ! Looking on the Ring camera at the Ct house, looks like it will be leaf duty for Thursday!
Looks like I have my work cut out for me !

On Friday, reality really sets in, I have to work on that day !

Going to try and enjoy our last few hours here !

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

 

[scott_vt]

Good Morning Again,

Looks like a couple of inches of snow on the Vermont camera !

I guess it won’t be long now !

 

[KilroyJC]

Good morning!

God has given us nother chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

30.0F going to low 60’s sunny day Forecasted.

Running around with mon moderately successful, Dis not get to seamstress because I guess we had always managed to go there in the middle of the week…

So we finally got to see that sign, I guess it hasn’t gotten any better yet, in spite of what some “experts” say. . . so another trip next week. i Would continue about taxes and where money gets sent but I don’t want to get sent to TBN timeout…

Harry is going for neutering today, so the next several days will be close to home. We tried the inflatable donut on him last night, he was not a fan, and because of his streamlined shape, he kept getting it off, even though we had the collar tightened almost to the point of strangulation, so I put him in his harness and I rigged some paracord to keep it from moving forward and that worked, so that setup will be what he wears for the next several days, because the Sirius Satellite Diah would just leas to destruction and pain for everything and everyone.

But that should give me time to catch up on a bunch of minor home tasks, including cleaning up and organizing that I have neglected/avoided/ not had time for…

time to start getting ready for the trip to the vet.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

 

[txdon]

Good morning! 54˚F, heading to the mid 60s, North breeze, clear skies.

Had to laugh when picturing Scott in his speedo holding a colorful umbrella drink on a tropical island standing up and sitting down quickly trying to beat my time. From sunny tropical to snow looks like you will have a shock.

PT went well yesterday with all new exercises.

Microwave is turning back on when I open the door so it is out of service. Will look into that today to determine if it needs to be repaired or replaced.

l also have the dual AC on the Ranger always blowing heat on the passenger side except when set below 63˚.

38 outside this AM, heading to 60. Another nice day on tap.

Household and farm chores on tap for today.

Spent last evening in a Town Hall meeting about the influx of data centers and transmission lines into the county and neighboring areas. Seems Virginia is globally unique in this growth pattern. There seems to be some serious transparency issues when dealing with these projects. Especially so when dealing with the vast number of projects and how they are presented to local and state officials. Very eye opening. Almost, I say, almost depressing.

Anyhow, hope all have a great day. Hope those ailing, heal faster, Stay positive.

 

[daugen]

Mike, those data centers apparently are responsible for huge electrical demands, some communities have banned them.
How can computers use so much juice?
is it all the air conditioning they need to cool the chips?
never connected computers/data searching with huge electrical demands but clearly the tech has changed.

 

[riptides]

They are trying to move into Maryland as well having purchased an old Alcoa 2000 acre facility to redevelop close us

This entity is the driver of the electrical grid for our area. PJM stands for Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland.

The link is their intro page. If you care to seek information on projects and planning, they have all their documentation available.

It's a monstrosity.

PJM - Who We Are

PJM Interconnection is a regional transmission organization (RTO) that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in the mid-Atlantic

It sure has changed for me. I used to build my own PCs. The latest and fastest processor, maximum ram, top tear video board and the best motherboard. All mounted in a full-size tower with a TV tuner front display. I spent thousands of dollars on those machines.

Now my PC mounts on the back of my display. It came preloaded with Windows 11-Pro, 16Gb of memory, 4.2Ghz processor and built-in Iris Xe video processor. It runs my CAD, Canvas Workspace, Inkscape, Lightburn Laser software and my Bambu Studio software for the 3D printer. All this in a package about 4"x4"x2" and for less than a current mediocre video card. I have auto-login set so it boots to my custom star field background ready to go in about six seconds.
