Good Morning All. Clear and 65°, still with ferocious winds from the South. Supposed to turn from the North around mid-morning and today's temperature will only get to 82°, tomorrow maybe 76°. Yesterday it was 92° instead of the 96° that was forecast. Still warm for April.
Despite not planning on it, I did do some mowing yesterday in the back yard between the house, pool and train shed. It just looked too scraggy in my view. Two loads of laundry and emptying the dishwasher fulfilled my household task obligations for the day. Wife decided that she was cooking yesterday and made chicken enchiladas from a leftover Sam's Club roast chicken. Close to the same thing that I made Saturday night from the same chicken, but I made chicken quesadillas. I used tortillas, chicken, Monterrey Jack cheese, bacon and mushrooms; she used tortillas, chicken, Monterrey Jack cheese, green chilies and a sour cream sauce. I used the griddle and she used the air fryer toaster oven setting. Too warm for the regular oven and I haven't serviced the a/c yet this season.
Still bummed out about the beer fridge out in the train shed. I definitely damaged it when using the screwdriver to chip away some ice. Note the refrigerant that has dripped out, just below the warning label telling me not to do what I did.
No real plans for today since I mowed yesterday. I could start to install the Tomato cages in the garden before the plants start to grow. Green Beans emerged from the soil last week and I'll remove any weeds that might be too close to the seedlings to hoe out. Hopefully I can irrigate before the wind picks back up again.
I did get a little time out in the train shed yesterday. I mounted those three 2D cardstock structure pictures to the backdrop, finally.
Now I need to find the 4th one, which is to the right, and print and replace it.
These all came from the excellent thread that fellow forum member

Patrick - Of all of the steakhouses that we go to, Saltgrass is the best as far as service, good food and great menu. Yes, they are a little pricey. The Range Rattler shrimp/cheese stuffed Jalapeno appetizers are absolutely the best in any place that we have been to. The platter of 8 could actually be a whole lunch by itself for us. They reheat well at home the next day. Also available in platters of 4 or 6.
Marlin - I've had just two direct experiences with relatives in residential care facilities and I agree with your assessment about warehousing people and collecting money. Wife's brother was basically on life support for 18 months after his useful life ended before they pulled the plug when they were told that the money had run out.
Joe - My doc will make things up to get Medicare to pay for preventive health tests. It's always based on real symptoms (sometimes coached) so there is no fraud involved.
Troy - That sums up my view of golf. I would always have been better off if I could trade my golf score for my bowling score; which is why I quit doing both.
Everyone have a great day today. It's Monday which doesn't mean much to me any more, but it does to some.
