Good morning. Happy February. A little oddity this year as the month of February has 29 days. There's also another oddity, Valentine's Day falls on ASH WEDNESDAY. I wonder how old the good Christians will celebrate Valentine's Day on that day. I remember a similar situation at a company I was working at. A company function at an auditorium with over 3000 people. It happened to be on a Friday and they were serving dinners with meat. Somehow they got special dispensation from the bishop for Catholics to be able to eat meat on that Friday. Of course I saw the same thing on Saint Patrick's Day. Hopefully you have all of your calendar pages changed. I got up early this morning to accept the challenge of turning all three calendars. I was able to preview them and noticed I have nothing formidable coming up. Undecided on a schedule for today. After a rigorous schedule yesterday of starting the day off and Walmart, then church, and finally a 2 mile walk. I wanted to get to the beach but for various reasons I was unsuccessful. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Happy HUMP DAY. It is also the last day of the month where we have to change the calendar pages. It helps to do some calisthenics before changing the pages so we don't pull a muscle. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Fairly warm this morning. About 38* but will not rise much more today. Sun came out yesterday and thus some snow has left the yard. I may attend church this morning, the daily Mass, for the first time in a few weeks. And maybe get on a walk. I made about 2 miles yesterday. I miss the middle of the night travels but I am done with that. I think I shall also be removing the splint today. As a matter of fact, I know I will. I had it put on 8 weeks ago today, about 10:15 AM, give or take 43 seconds, colonial time. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. I have just passed the hour of my 8 week anniversary of the incident. Undecided on whether to take the splint off today or tomorrow. I may put the soft one on for a couple of days before going back to the coffee. I did get to the store yesterday and purchased some Black Silk, a coffee I enjoy more than what is in my Fortress in anticipation of tipping the coffee cup. Nothing planned for today except a walk over to get some bananas. Then if I get some sun in my yard, I may take the longer walk. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning on this Saturday in January, the last one. It is about 35*F heading to 38 later. With all the rain, snow is melting. I walked over to Walmart yesterday and was besieged by puddles from the melting. For the most part, no slippery places. Felt good to get out even though it was drizzling. Looks like I will not see the sky today. Better get used to it as February is the cloudiest month. Going to get the car out later. First time in a week. I will be leaving it out as it is not supposed to be cold this week. I should buy a parka for the car. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Yesterday I found the missing caboose. They not only moved the caboose but the tracks with it. They must have used a crane. I see the wheels are sitting on the side of it as pictured with some track. Some guy who was an engineer with the railroad told me one time that the wheels were separate from the cars and railroad cars are not even attached to the wheels. This explains the caboose not being on the wheels.
Good morning. Starting the day off at 34°and heading for 38 degrees later. The downside, it is going to start raining at about 7:00 AM. The good thing is a lot of the snow shall go away. And I don't see much snow in the forecast in the next 10 days. I was able to get out for a decent walk yesterday. I suppose I got in about three and a half miles. That is the first time I got that distance since my incident. I was hoping for another Hollywood story today but it doesn't look good. I might be able to get out for a constitutional in the neighborhood. Most of the hard ice from the snow on the road has turned to slush. That is a good thing if you're out for a walk. Other than that, nothing planned for today. Have a good day and don't forget to put out the garbage. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Opening the day at 32*, going to 35*. I got out for a little walk yesterday as I found a couple of places where there was some good pavement. I am planning on going for a walk later, maybe a mile and a half, give or take. While on my vacation, maybe pick up some bananas. Not mandatory but gives me a destination. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. 23* at 2AM, heading for 32*F. Nothing planned for today except maybe a walk somewhere. The sidewalks still leave something to be desired so, eyes open, caution. I claimed success yesterday on the safari to the store. Not only in securing eggs and some non essential items, but later in the day, a neighbor who has access to some eggs secured another dozen for me. So, the people who want to start a GO FUND ME page do not have that burden. Since I no longer do the exercise in the middle of the night, I seem to be awakening earlier than ever. Writing about that, in about 15 minutes I will celebrate the 7 week anniversary of the incident. In about a week, I shall be back to the coffee. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Sunday. After the devastating defeat yesterday of not getting eggs, I am going to give it a try this morning. At least that is the plan. It is -1* right now and I believe that will be the nadir for the rest of time. Outside of the egg project, nothing else planned. I will pick up some other items for my minimum purchase for the month with the bank interest. That is what is good about self-checkout, I can make the separate purchases without a clerk calling me names. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. I open this morning without bananas and/or eggs. I intend to remedy this later when I liberate the car from the garage and rejoin the human race. I shall go to the store and church, It is -4 now going down to -8 by 8am. Then it will get up to 10* later. One more cold night before warming somewhat depending on your definition of that. In either case, I shall be waiting at least for daylight, and maybe wait for it to get to zero. The last time out with the car was the incident of this writer being stuck in the snow bank, for the lack of a better term. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
