Called Messicks, they want $51 for the battery. Decided to just run into the local Kubota guy, where I bought the mower. $66 for it. I asked why so high? He said they aren't $40 anymore. I said Messicks only wants $51 and a I got a snotty answer back. I should have asked for my core back and walked out, but I bought it.
Filled up the subaru, had to sit thru a bunch of work traffic. I sure am glad I'm retired, except for the lack of funds.

49F and cloudy @ 19:00, heading down to around 37F for the low overnight. High today hit 59.5F ... high yesterday was 63.1F ... (y)

Started yesterday to try and finish up the mowing the rest of the front and grinding up the leaves for several hours. Was way too windy and I was spinning my wheels, so I gave up and went back to planting strawberry plants. Got 11 more done.

Had a short, heavy downpour move through late last night.

Got another 11 done this afternoon for a total of 22 in the 5th row, now need to melt more holes before I can do any more:

Really though, I think I only have a a couple of the All Star plants left, plus maybe a dozen or so King Kong's - once the runners root.

Still calling for high's in the 60's at the tail end off the Ten Day ... Strawberry seem to continue to grow ... (y) (probably the weed block fabric keeping the soil warm)

Woman ran out to vote, did some grocery shopping while She was out. Brought me back a butter pecan treat from Dunkin (... iced ... :oops:)

Neighbor came by walking her dogs, sent her home with 4 heads of cabbage (2 green, 2 red)

I ran down and voted after I finished up the Little Caesar's pizza after I came inside which Woman had warmed up.

Think Woman just stuck a pork loin roast in the oven for dinner (apparently one dinner wasn't enough ... :LOL:)

Probably watch the election returns and do some further work on softener valve.

Hope everyone is having a decent Tuesday ... (y)

Today turned out to be a pretty good day even though I had to make several calls and be flexible to drive out of town, before I got back on schedule for out patient Physical Therapy here and in Liberty Hill. Turns out maternity leave left our town short on Physical Therapist.
I Did 118˚ on the last at home flex test (most people do 90˚). That's like getting discharged with honors.
When I went to the neighborhood fitness center I was able to bo a complete revolution of the pedals quickly after just a few back and forth. And started my first cardio training.
And I was able to attend sign language class without much pain.

Good Evening Everyone

I just wanted to check in again. I'm doing fine. The 4 way meeting that was scheduled with the Lawyers for tomorrow morning (Nov 8) had to be cancelled / postponed because my estranged wife is still not feeling well after 11 weeks - the waiting game continues. Now they need to find another date that fits their schedules, and they see if it works with us ... this could drag on for awhile yet. Anyways, I'm still working on the receipts and spreadsheets ... I gave my lawyer a proposed resolution, and then I can eventually go to the bank to see if it can work out financially. Still praying that I can keep the house and remain here, for the near future. I've been in contact with the 3 kids regularly. I just need a re-start at this point, the waiting is wearing me out. I will update again when I can,

I'm also still hoping to buy an SUV with all wheel drive in the next month or two. I need a reliable used vehicle so that I can visit the kids ... all are 6 - 10 hrs away.

I hope that you are all doing well.
