Top of pool=76
6" down=72

When it is in the mid to upper 90's later this week, I'll eat a Popsicle and send you the stick so you can stir the pool water. :lol: OK, I'll send you the whole Popsicle! :)

Between the new Pa tax and the Fed regs the 5 shops in my area will be closing. I'm not sure what exactly I'm doing yet. Since I buy 100% of my stuff on line. Be easier if we knew how their regulating it. This tax Will just guarantee big tobacco is the only one that can afford to sell eciggs. I'll probably buy a few liters of 100% nlc we know it freezes and doesn't loose too much of its strength. Flavorings and plain vg,pg will still be available their all sold for baking. Sure be ashamed to have all these mods and not be able to use them.

I'm hoping nothing happens in GA for a while. Why does the government have to stick their noses in every tiny thing? I don't want to go back to smoking and am afraid that will happen if they make it where I can't order online or go to a local vape store for coils and such.

Morgan is playing and editing a picture she took of me. It's awful. And the original was worse. :laugh:

Dropped my car off this morning, got the rental, took Alex to an appointment and they called around 4 to say my car was ready. I'll go back in the morning and pick it up after I drop Alex off at his class. So far I like my car much better than the two rentals I've had. There's just no comparing a Camry and an Impala to a fully loaded Charger with hemi. Now all that is left is to settle on an agreeable diminished value. I still can't believe they offered $250. :lol: Still laughing. I thought I may have heard wrong but I was listening with my good ear so I asked her to repeat it and sure enough, yep $250. I'll let hubby handle the diminished value part now. Hopefully they fixed to car correctly this time. They told me when I dropped it off this morning that it was not a new bumper that they put on the car originally so it could have been misshapen. This time they ordered a new one from Dodge.

Morgan talked hubby into letting her get another guinea pig. Tomorrow. Luckily we still have the cage and supplies from the one that died last year. He said we'd pay for half the guinea pig and she had to pay for the rest plus anything extra she wanted. She also has to earn the money to buy all the upkeep supplies. Wonder what Apollo will think of it?

Today went by fast it seems.

Can't like it Drott. I'm so angry that states are doing this to their residents. And you're correct, this will hand over all of vaping to big tobacco. They are doing it inch by inch now, but come December many more shops will close. In Dec. we have to all register as tobacco manufacturers. I'm still trying to find out what will happen at that point. Will we have to charge tobacco tax? Will we be on the hook for the MSA? Scary times.

I took the car in yesterday morning to get them to redo the work and picked it up this morning. Pretty quick turnaround. Still laughing at the diminished value offer they gave us. We'll go get an appraisal next week and go from there. They base the diminished value on the amount of damages but I think it should be based on the value of the car being in a wreck vs not wrecked. A wrecked car, regardless if it has been fixed, is worth less than the same car in same condition that's never been an accident. Id10ts!

Nothing exciting here today. Errands, house work, take and pick up Alex from class and that's it. Work tomorrow. I did go to two craft stores this morning while running my errands. Shhhh...don't tell hubby. :laugh: I'm sure Morgan will blab and tell him what I bought and how much I spent. Especially if I tell her not to tell him. :laugh:

I love my Kindle Fire I got on Amazon Prime sale day last week. Awesome deals! I got a tablet for me and hubby (for his birthday). You could only buy one of each deal so I got one with 16gb storage for $53 and one with 8gb storage for $33! Can't beat that. I went ahead and gave hubby his the other day even though his birthday isn't until next week. I wanted to play with mine and couldn't do that if he didn't know he had one too. :laugh: There are still a couple of things I saved to give him on his actual birthday. He's loving the Go Pro camera. Apollo has worn it most of the time. Crazy dog!!

Never at this rate. It's back to 72. *screams*

I'll trade you your 72 for our 107 today. Honest, I will. You can even keep the pool!

Evening all. What ya been up to Rick? FV doesn't heart to dream.:lol:
Tiff yae for Morgan and Alex. Boo hiss on the car.

Drott, I'm never up to anything. I'm the most boring person I know. On the plus side, I transferred from on-site at the Happiest Place on Earth to 40 miles east to run a satellite DC, so I'm 40 miles closer to home. I got back about 3 hours of my life every day, so I'm a happy camper. I"m glad to see some familiar faces around here!

The 72 is the pool. In the 90's here with 97% humidity. And wicked thunderstorms. There's a power pole down in our driveway here at the work hut, but the electric co. said it may be a few days. What a mess around here.

Hooray for being closer Rick! Commuting is just craptastic. ugh. Happy we only have 1/2 hr drive between huts.

Happy Saturday! I went outside to look at the yard to see how it is doing with this heat and very little rain. Prognosis: no need to cut the grass! No rain no mow. :) It is freaking hot outside already and its only 10:00 am. I could enjoy a dip in a 72 degree pool right about now...

Good morning. another hot humid one to day.

Drott, I just can't like that. At 11:05 AM, it is 100 degrees here, and supposed to be headed for 106. I'm cowering inside. I am not leaving this house unless it catches fire, and maybe not even then.

I MIGHT leave the house if there was a 72 degree pool available, but it would have to be less than 100 feet from the door. :shock:

The heat actually wasn't too terribly bad here today. I sat on the porch at my in laws this afternoon and it felt somewhat nice. We ate dinner there to celebrate hubby's birthday next week. Of course I ate way too much. Beef tenderloin, salad, baked potatoes, sour dough bread, and green beans. Homemade pound cake for dessert. It was so good but now I'm miserably stuffed.

Morgan is studying for her learners license. Hubby is going to take her next week hopefully. I desperately need one of the kids driving.to help me when needed. Alex shows no interest but Morgan is all excited about it. Hubby will be the driving instructor. I'd suck at teaching the kids to drive. Hubby has much more patience than me.​

I wish your hubby luck Tiff! I couldn't teach either of the boys, they had me gritting my teeth and ripping at my hair. :( It didn't make it any easier that I had a standard car at the time. :facepalm: Ian kept letting the clutch out so fast, the poor car didn't have a chance. And Andy kept trying to grind the gears. :cry:
