Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning All. Cloudy and 69° with a thunderstorm approaching. It's a slow moving one, which means that the rain will be heavy and linger for a while. On the other hand, it may dissipate like the one yesterday. It's currently about 20 miles west of here. However the NWS is saying "PM thunderstorms", but I don't think that it is moving that slow!
I got the fridge all squared away yesterday, with the new water filter and re-leveled. First time that I've had a refrigerator with a water filter but it was actually very easy. Two minutes top. It will go faster next time since I now know how. Spent a little time later in the day putting in more t-posts in the garden for the Tomato cages. Since the Tomato rows are at the east edge of the garden, I could do it without stepping into the soft wet earth. Didn't install the cages yet, as many need some repair work after getting bashed by the train shed roof during last spring's tornado. Some of those metal roof pieces also took down a power line out front as well. But I only took out a small portion, the neighbor's house took it down in three places.
It's wait and see whether or not we make the weekly grocery trek this morning. Depends on the weather. No sense in putting ourselves in danger traffic-wise on the Interstate, although we can actually take much safer back roads. But there is nothing on the list that's a must have now and none of my coupons expire any time soon.
I was able to strike another small project off the pending projects list yesterday out in the train shed. I few months ago, I named this structure and installed simple window treatments in the second floor.
Yesterday I was able to locate some pictures that I had previously downloaded from the Internet and print them up. I cut them out and added them to the ground floor windows.
I also added figures to the sidewalk and one inside the front door.
While printing, I printed a replacement for this backdrop building that I may have posted recently.
Now I am reminded that I still need to finish the ground cover in this 12" section.
Marlin - I seem to remember tying my shoes while standing on one foot 60 years ago, but it isn't something that I am willing to attempt today. I do good just to bend over while sitting and tying them. I prefer the slip-on sneakers, but wear the tie-ups because they're better for my feet. Socks? I haven't worn them since college in the early 70's, except when wearing hard-soled shoes about once every 10 years or so.
Joe - I retired just because I was no longer enjoying what I was doing. The company was phasing me out because I warned them that I would retire soon. After 18 months of having no duties and doing nothing, I made the decision. They were paying me well, but it began to be really boring. I had a plan for at least six or seven years before.
Louis - Flank steak for fajitas needs to be marinated, other than that I don't marinate steak.
Swal - I've never been a sugar user, or salt either for that matter. I don't use either when I cook or at the table. I only purchase sugar for the Hummingbird feeders. I do admit to using Monkfruit sweetener for Cole slaw though.
Everyone have a great Thursday. I'm beginning to see raindrops on the back porch, but no thunder has been heard.

I'm falling apart! Well at least in my darkest fears I am. Sharon is the opposite, she says I'm gonna be just fine, I just need a tune up and maybe a fresh set of plugs! I'll go with it, after all, what choice do I have??
