Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning All. Mostly cloudy and 30°, chilly today and again tonight, then a return to our typical spring weather tomorrow. The NWS is still forecasting 80° for Wednesday, other wise upper 50's to mid-70's for the remainder of the 10 day forecast.
I didn't mention yesterday, but Thursday while we were on the grocery trek, my SIL dropped the granddog off at our house for a few days. Of course she got muddy the first day. He also left an interesting and new to me device here as well.
Fill it with water (we used warm), stick the doggie's paw into it and move it up and down. Presto, it's clean and you just have to dry it off from there.
Other activity yesterday besides normal household chores included mowing again with the push mower around various places and more gathering of fallen twigs/branches around trees. Amazing that I am reading of some of you with your snow blowers and I am mowing. Hughie's probably mowing down there in H-town as well.
Cemetery activity continues out in the train shed, as I finished up the parking area out front yesterday.
Also visible are the decorative trees that I planted and some of the fence between the stone pillars there across the front.
Even though I measured and placed those pillars exactly in place, they are not exact and the rails between them are not all an identical length. They fit into narrow slots in each pillar. That will continue today.
More ground cover and some small shrubbery around the gates are coming up before I start arranging the already painted headstones.
Sherrel - Continue to hang in there. As the experiences of others here in the Coffee Shop, Alan, Tom O, and Mikey have shown, and your past experiences as well; it's not the end but just a stumbling block along the way. My prayers and positive thoughts continue for you and those Angels supporting you along the way, Kate and daughter.
Troy - Ain't nothing wrong with a landline phone, here's mine.
Same phone has been here for 44 years. Never needs upgrading and still works just fine, even in any kind of storm. As a bonus, folks in my area who still had one, got upgraded to fiber-optic lines a few years ago at no charge due to a federal government grant. Several neighbors who had dropped their landlines, had to pay for the fiber-optic installation. Satellite internet here is more expensive and less reliable than the local ISP.
Patrick - I assume that you'll be pleased to get the fiber cable, even if they do dig up the yard.
Mike - I don't usually have an issue with USPS tracking here. Unless the package doesn't fit in the rural mailbox located 1.25 miles away. Tracking indicates it has been delivered but actually I get a notification to come to the post office and pick it up.
Half hour on the phone with Comcast??? That's a short period compared with the various service providers around here!
Possum - I haven't personally been to Chilifest, but the rules seem to be the same for all of the competitive cook-offs across the state. A lady friend of mine from work, once won $10,000 at a state-wide competition.
Mikey - Great news.
Ray - Great news from you as well. Take it easy for a few days now.

Re: Coupler tuning. I hope that you will share that with us. I have some ideas of my own, but never codified them.

It would be tough getting away from there!

There's plenty of other places in DC that could be the starting point. But I can't get into that without stepping across the political line in the sand.

That's like New Jersey and Kalifornia wanting to tax you if you move away! Or your experiences with North Carolina institutions.
Everyone have a fantastic day and a wonderful weekend.
, you can't say i sent them
. This nightmare was predicted long time ago by one of the US presidents. It might have been Lincoln himself.
