Good morning!!!!

Up late monitoring the storms in AR and talking with my son.
Wind is picking up here.
Hair cut this morning, I think she forgot she had my appointment but quickly got me done.
Then to harbor freight, first time in the new store here (probably been here a year). Bought some wire ties. Looked at welders, they must have 20 models, had no idea what I was looking at.
Costco run for gas and then they drew almost $200 out of my credit card buying stuff.

Once home I tackled the mailbox alert that quit working over thanksgiving. Took unit off mailbox, brought in house. Tried all their instructions, nothing worked, it would not show up on my WiFi list. Emailed the company again. They called me right away, but since not on my list, it went to VM. VM said unplug, push reset and plug in, release reset when blue light comes on. I tried the indoor hub, the outdoor unit, nothing. Then I decided to check power cable to indoor unit (it stopped working when the indoor unit fell off the stand, and it pulled unit inside the box out of its socket). Turns out the UPS it was plugged into was off. How I didn’t notice other things off, I don’t know.
Anyways, once I seated the chip and got it power, now works. So had to install outdoor unit on side of mailbox, and hang onto the bank edge as cars zoomed by me.

Now to set up new church computer.

Morning all, warm and rainy.
Kid and friend on drums and then drop them in town, ah queit.
Got the sphere cleaned up and painted, waiting for it to dry.

Ordered shelf rails to put in some new shelves in pantry.

Fixed the large Christmas ornament, needed a 5W bulb to work, even though bad one said it was 10W.

Alien - Party chairs- do they sing? :cool:

Drew - put mortar down, pull mortar out, start again - Well that will keep you busy.

Gale - our thoughts with the people impacted by tornadoes. Seems these tornadoes are getting worse and spreading through more of the country.

Tomorrow -Jingle Bell ride in Tyler park-Experience the fun of an old-fashioned country wagon hayride (does include seats) pulled by huge Belgian Draft Horses wearing brass sleigh bells! Bring a blanket and cuddle up! Your journey will take you over the meadow and through the woods

Stay safe and be well - Hope you are feeling better Buppies and your leg is better Thomas.

Talking about trucks. My Ranger is the first truck I have owned. For once I didn't have to get the Honda out and hook up the trailer to pick up my turf. The guy just lifted it in to the back of the Ranger on a pallet with his fork lift. So easy compared to hooking up a trailer especially with my bad hands. Makes life a lot easier.

Power and internet went out about 10:30. Came back about 15 minutes ago. Winds have been up around 30 mph since about 9:00am.
Today was my GGD 2nd birthday. She was born on my wife’s birthday. It took awhile to find a GGD birthday card to mail to her. I guess there is not a lot of demand for them.

Boy, after nursing my wife the last weeks, I understand why nurses drink!!

A shot or two...or three, makes it much more tolerable

My HD DVR in basement won’t work, had to switch cable over to TV tuner to get the game on. Sitting and peddling as I watch.

Did get church computer mostly set up, one download was taking forever so I stopped it.

Cup of tea time. Kiwi fruit and banana for breakfast. Crows are real noisy this morning. Koala growling over the road. Totally worn out today. Legs are weak. Tomorrow expecting delivery of two 4 wheel scooters to get around easier. Can do 32 kph and can be registered for road use with free registration. Baskets fitted for the dogs to go cruising with us. Should be fun. Dogs love riding on anything.
Very sad to hear adout the disaster over there. Nothing that bad happens here but with climate change you never know.

I understand
Strangely, at least for me, I barely remember some of the more ‘demanding’ tasks such as bedpans etc. I was just grateful. 23 years later, as I say, barely remember, but I wouldn’t trade those days, nor even think of reminding her, but happy that I could.
Take comfort in knowing she appreciates what you do for her Roy.
