Good morning!!!!

Tried to reschedule medical appointment but the hospital is still not back up after being out for a week. Maybe they are negotiating ransom payments to get their systems operational. They are not even able to do X-rays I guess because everything these days is electronic
Will have to look for another solution if they don't come back up next week

Had a couple of new ice cleats delivered thinking they may be easier to use than the old ones. But no such luck so will return them. The current ones strap on with velcro straps

I bought these micro-spikes at Costco a few years ago and have used them on icy trails with great success. They pull on using stretchy rubber and haven't come off, as long as stretched up on the toe properly.

Good Morning!!!! 41F @ 5:15AM. Abundant sunshine. High 58F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.

I feel your pain, Ken. Lots of long term stress with the move, enough to make it hard to sleep through the night, has me getting forgetful. Lots of memory medicine scams out there, but precious little in the way of FDA approved cures. Before I go back south, I think the house here will be ready to go on the market, though there will still be a few items in the garage I'll have to retrieve before escrow closes. Ongoing maintenance will still have me coming back monthly or so as well.

Scary news about the hospital hack, Frits. Lives are at stake, and the authorities seem powerless to catch the crooks.

Got the floors done in the great room and master bedroom. Lots of shiny laminate in this house. Also got a few boxes and a bed loaded. Just two bathrooms left to clean today, but windows and weed spraying are on the list, too.

Came around the corner and found an aligator lizard laying on the floor of the breakfast nook. No idea how it got inside, and they eat the western fence lizards I like to feed. One stomp took care of it. Will make a nice snack for a crow or hawk.

Hope everyone stays safe in the storm and all have a nice weekend.

Good morning! 68˚F heading to 86˚ which will tie the warmest Feb. 8th since 1893. S wind sunny skies this afternoon. A warm day driving the tractor.

good morning, 28 going to 36 and winter weather advisory in effect

no plans for today other than staying comfortable and warm

I did something like that with my sister asking for a pair of Christmas suspenders.
but I was insistent they be clip on instead of button style.
what a mistake
both pairs constantly popped off.
my good heavy duty jeans with the double knees that I wear in bad weather
have a button already there just for this purpose.
so I need to order a pair of suspenders with the button loops.
I admit to procrastinating about fessing up with my sister...

picked up more ice melt with an extra for my neighbor.
am thinking maybe I'll move another propane bottle out of garage and over by generator.
that would be a pixxer to do in glaze ice...

I used to like pro football then they went on strike the first time lost interest. NIL in college football has ruined that to. I thought getting a free education room and board was good enough.

I don't iron much and am glad my iron comes with a cord.
dhobis apparently used the first cordless irons

I do touch up the front of some dress shirts.
even got some Niagara spray starch perhaps to just smell that nostalgia
otherwise nothing goes to dry cleaner any more
might be good to take some of my slacks though, gets the crease back in them.

time to move first load of wash, my wash genie took the day off

Our cordless irons make good door stops. Other than that....gosh...no one ever ironed in our house.

Good morning everyone! Hope we all have a nice weekend!

welcome and thank you.

well my day is complete. Perhaps my life.
have just been informed that Taylor Swift through a straw buyer has bought a 90 acre estate just North of here.
Plumsteadville I think, maybe Popgadget knows.

this is in addition to Bradley Cooper buying a big place here also.
this area has always attracted the NYC theatre crowd.
probably because it's safe and low key, plus you can get to NYC pretty easily.

now I want to see Ken's son guest appearing with Taylor Swift at the Bucks County Playhouse here in town.
you heard it here first
even better, have her jam with Popgadget's band
