ECF acting weird on me or it could possibly be ME.
Well, not a soul came back and said they were having issues with ECF so I am going to assume it is me because it usually is. 
If by any chance anyone notices me liking a post of yours from 2017, it is just me and I am confused on the wrong tab. I started reading this thread from the beginning. With my calculations, I figure I will finish right before a close friend posts my passing. 
It is not quite as interesting as what I normally prefer to read but I am having a good time. It is pretty entertaining.

Is anyone watching Outer Range? I watched the first episode tonight (mainly because the guy has a nice goatee), but gosh is it weird? That is saying a lot coming from me.
What is it and which channel or service is handling it?
I did do some mowing this afternoon. I had to replace the sparkplug on the trimmer. I'm glad it was only the sparkplug. I still have more trimming to do and then also I need to trim the hedge. That will have to wait a couple of days for it.
I had a neighbor text me this afternoon. She works at a local school and asked if I would like some leftover tuna casserole. It was leftover from lunch and was destined for the trash bin otherwise. She dropped it off and there was enough for a couple of meals. The way I've been eating it could last 3 or 4 meals.
A couple of years ago there was a member on here that offered his e-library of books. I was lucky enough that he sent me the links and I saved them to my laptop. Well, needless to say, I killed that laptop. Today, I found the original email and was able to load them on my new computer. I am incredibly happy that I was able to find and add the books to my new computer. Now I just have to back up the e-books to a flash drive. I hope everyone has a good day.
It is on Amazon Prime but I have a Firestick so I stream it. I love my Firestick. Here is the trailer. (I hope) heehee
I have started replacing equipment with battery-powered tools. I have been so pleased with them. I have a chain saw, edger, blower, weed eater, and bush trimmer so far. (all Worx) I like not having to change spark plugs or cleaning carburetors. grrrr
I just had someone give me a recipe for tuna casserole. Can you believe that is one thing I have never eaten? That, escargot, and sushi.
So glad you were able to recover your e-books. Are you talking about books like on a Kindle reader? I have a couple of sites that I get my books from. I am down to 8 hundred and something on my Kindle that is waiting for me. I love to read but what I love even more is that I have never had to pay for a book. heehee
Morning, all.
Rain is back. Temp only 40 overnight, so no snow here, but more up where it needs to be.
Mostly just a light mist yesterday, and we did have some lightening of the grey for a while. Sun? Nope.
That, and they are generally much quieter than gas! Went that way the last time I needed to replace my chain saw, and, wanting a second battery found that their blower, that came with battery and charger, wasn't a whole lot more than just another battery, so... doh. Weed whacker is still gas, but 4 stroke.

Good morning, my friends!
I apologize for not posting any earlier! I had all good intentions of posting much sooner than this, but always something seemed to get in the way.......so I kept saying to myself.......tomorrow, tomorrow.......well, now, it's tomorrow.
I'm doing OK considering he is gone; doing the best I can, cause that's what he would want me to do.......I can hear him saying to me.....'Get on with it'. I feel his presence with me constantly, and for a time, I didn't want to leave the house for fear that I wouldn't feel him near me, but he is with me no matter where I am....especially when I'm with our grandkids.
Anyway, I'll be making this short cause I have someone coming for an estimate on a new heat pump.........ours is still working, but it is 20 years old, and it would just be temperamental enough to break down in July or August......normally, heat pumps in Florida last on an average of 10-12 years, so the money we spent 20 years served us well.
So, no doubt, I'll be back posting when I can!
Ciao!

I need to get motivated and take my aunt to WallyWorld. I need some stuff too but I was planning on procrastinating. I hate it when my procrastination gets distrupted. 
I really wish one of my aunt's two daughters would take her when she needs stuff but she always "hints" to me. Probably because I live two doors down but her daughters live here close also. Mini-grrrr
Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hola ..
Gracie .. no apology or explanation required .. we love to see you here and we miss you when you're gone .. do things at your own pace ..
Hi Gracie, thanks for dropping by. Always thinking about you when I come here, waiting to see if you've stopped by. Best wishes to you.
I'll say that one of the things the Pandemic did for me was curtail my trips to Walmart .. not that I have ever been much of a shopper, in fact, I'd bet the Levi's I have on right now are older than some of the law enforcement officers within the local area ..
I used to make a regular trip to Walmart for regular stuff that gets regularly consumed .. TP / Shave Cream / Toothpaste, etc .. now, I watch the Walgreens ad and catch that on sale or hit it on Senior Discount day .. it's just so much less of a slog since the closest Walmart is the size of a, well, it's big and they constantly move stuff around so it's not where it used to be ..
Still regular trips to the Kroger, I won't buy Walmart meat / etc as I find it sub-standard .. I also get points on my Kroger rewards card which easily get me 20-30 cents a gallon off gas on a monthly basis ..
So, in many ways, Amazon Prime has become my go to .. thanks to the Pandemic .. it's just so easy, they have everything and I generally get it the next day ..
I did need something ASAP a while back, but I can't remember now what it was, so I did go to the Walmart for that .. it had probably been over a year since I'd been there .. and now, it appears that self-checkout has practically become the de facto method, so I'm against that and I may as well let the mouse do the ordering ..
This is how Lord Bezos is taking over the World ..
I guess I should be happy the WalMarts here still have real cashiers along with the self checkouts. I go rarely.
Hello people! It's a chilly 48 here and breezy. Brrrr. I want that 80 degree day back! Oh well, we'll be complaining about the heat before we know it.
How come when I say I'm going to take the day off I
find 20 things that need doing. I feel guilty laying around unless I'm sick. Today I'm finally going to hem the curtains for the sliding doors in the basement. It's only been 33 years without a covering on those doors. Of course the basement was such a mess nobody would want to break in that way anyway.
Arrgh! Do you have a light on your cell phone? That's what I use when I get up in the dark. Just don't look at it when you turn it on or it'll blind you and you still won't see the walker!
Count me out on that one. Looks too weird. I don't do scary movies. Life is scary enough!!
Oh Gracie, it's so good that you stopped in!!
I think Peter will be with you always no matter where you are. I still talk to my parents and they've been gone over 40 years. It's very comforting.
Sounds like a wise thing to get the new heat pump now before you have a problem. Stuff like that around the house just sits there doing it's thing and we don't notice them until they give you trouble. And then it's always at the worst time and that's when you realize it's ancient and should have been replaced long ago. Ask Willie, he's dealing with that now. Our next big thing is the roof. Hopefully we'll have moved before we have to deal with that!
