Maybe that is just plain dumb good luck. I'd rather be lucky than good.
I hope you both feel better. Don't forget to take care of you.

Well, howdy there internet peeps and those feeling it in their bones today
It's Troy again...
And Lord Fuzzbutt is definitely feeling it. Caught him peeing on the rug by the front door yesterday.
Honked me off until I did the math. Cats can definitely count. He knows the difference between three treats and four treats.
But he wasn't counting. His bones and joints were. It's been two and a half months since he got his Arthritis shot.
Poor guy.
Wife would be grumpy too if she didn't get her arthritis meds for 10 weeks.
So I woke up at 3am thinking I should put the third litter box on the lower landing. That's only half a flight of stairs down to it.
I'll call this morning and see how fast I can get him in for his shot. But losing half his front teeth two months ago really threw his vet schedule off. The vet didn't want to give him the Solensia with all the other meds, and then I forgot to schedule it when he had digestive troubles. And more meds.
I have a dental cleaning then a haircut this morning. Maybe after lunch they will have time for him.
As for now, it's time to make the coffee and eat the yogurt.

Good morning all!
Happy Hump day!
Our stretch of beautiful late Oct weather continues again today. Currently its 43F. High today is Going all the way up to 74F under mostly sunny
skies.
Have some laundry to do this morning, dishwasher to empty, and mid-week vacuuming. Nothing much else planned. No games tonight so it
should be a quiet day and evening. Hoping anyways!
have a safe day everyone!

What, me worry?
Morning all,
Already had my first call of the day, which was actually from my last call yesterday. Employee got locked out and needed a password reset, so a second one placed the ticket with no phone number to call the employee with the problem. I emailed back through the ticketing system late yesterday with my contact info and got the problem resolved. They are both in positions that don't require a lot of computer engagement, so it's easy to forget a password that need to be changed every 60 days.
Not sure what the rest of the day will bring, the joys of the IT department. We have a compromised VPN key and need to get them changed. That's always fun...But I haven't had to change them very often.
Currently cloudy and some light rain in the area, 56° in Doo Dah with a high later 76°.

Good Morning All. Clear and 54° this morning, should hit 80° later on. Another average fall day for us. Early forecast shows a 24% chance of rain next Tuesday!
Primary Care doctor visit yesterday was uneventful, the usual blood draw but that was about it. Noted while driving around that regular gasoline was mostly at $3.39/gal. I don't understand the diesel thing though. I just looked up the national average which shows $6.28/gal, meaning that a lot of places are higher; but all around here it is in the $5.45/gal range. So some places must be really high. Hello California?
Laundry this morning and general cleanup today. Plenty of outdoor tasks to keep me busy for the rest of the day.
Didn't spend as much time out in the train shed as I had planned yesterday, and I did not complete the shingle roof yet. Two more rows to go, one at the top of each side. Always the hardest due to the amount of trimming. Don't remember if I took an update picture or not; but the camera is outside and I don't want to get my house shoes wet from the heavy dew.
Tom O - Important to take care of yourself as well. Continued prayers and positive thoughts for Terry and you.
Terry -
David - I had to chuckle yesterday about your "flat land" comment.
Troy - Here's a sobering thought. How many times have you not caught LF peeing on the floor???
Keyboardist/bandleader Manfred Mann is 86 today. The late journeyman guitarist Steve Cropper (Booker T & the MG's, Blues Brothers and session guitarist at Stax Records) was born on this day in 1941. Blues guitarist Elvin Bishop is 84 today. And finally, Chicago's horn player, Lee Loughnane, is 80 today.
Everybody have a wonderful Wednesday.

Got to agree with you there. I felt that it was a bit humid here yesterday at 54%.

Yup if you are talking the 'Order Coffee Beans' Pop. Guess that it could be coming from this site as I have not seen it on other sites I get to. Haven't seen one for 2 days now - go figure.

Hello. I’m awake feeling a heck of alot better than I did heading to bed last night. Somewhere in the middle of the night the throat stopped draining, the cough lessened and I got some sleep mostly in the proper up sitting position.
I’m in favor of putting back the I am himan check off box that disappeared from my log in last week. The system I thought was slow and I thought it was the hospital system but it’s not, it’s very slow here at home.
Terry called this morning and told me to stay home until she calls. Both the Pulmonary and Oncology Doctors have signed off releasing her this morning and she has the papers already for her after care at home. She is waiting for a Hospitalist who has the “final” say when she is released. A “Hospitalist” in my opinion is a money grab by the hospital for another Doctor to bill for services. A totally ridiculous thing and something that started to be a thing in Wisconsin medicine around 2005. Per Gemini it is a push by Insurance because patients were being released without a proper check off system of aftercare. I’ve never had the Hospitalist talk to me about aftercare the nurses have always handled that
So I will wait for Terry’s text
Once Terry settles in here at home I may visit the shop. I’m determined not to hover though I know I will be accused of it!
The house is clean and all dishes have been finished and put away after the dishwasher finished. I ran it last night at about 1/2 load just to have a new start this morning. I emptied it this morning. She said we will do our normal Thursday (tomorrow) breakfast/brunch run. That is also when the house gets cleaned by the service hired a few months ago after we moved into the new place.
After I got home last night I sat in her office and looked at the written procedure regarding our monthly bills. Yes she is that organized and has always been. She handles all the financials but wants me to start doing the weekly stuff. I haven’t paid a bill in years. Her portfolio is separate from mine and the house. It’s really the only thing we have not decided on. We’ve talked about it for years but no decision has been made regarding that. The daughter has said no many times and the son has his businesses so he’s out. Neither of us want a professional to handle it. Honestly I want nothing to do with it but will follow her wishes.
I know I’m rambling so thanks for being here
