Another inch of rain today, 2-1/2 the past week. I don't want another drought, but we could do with a little less rain [emoji5]. On the plus side, it's great for spring growing season - grass, trees, flowers (& pollen [emoji3]) are all having a great time.
Almost bathing suit weather
That's about like water temp off the California coast.
Yikes !!!
a balmy 53
Oh... you mean heavy boots, wool socks, thermal T, long T and a heavy duty sweatshirt !!!
Why do they call it a Sweatshrit.... when you're always cool in it ?!?!?
Almost bathing suit weather
They have bathing suits on the Right Coast
We had 96º Wed and 99º yesterday... Yesterday Mrs Wharf took her kids to Special Olympics Bocce Ball. The kids got fried and LOVED IT ... The Teach and her aides..... Not so much
Dang old Toshiba lap top met it's demise last evening...I went out and scored a MacBook Air....So yeah I'm learning the ropes....So far all is good......
Oh Ye... err Me of Little Faith
I haven't "looked" for my SMY 75 for almost 3 months. I remember walking out the garage door to get in my car and that I was twirling the 75 in my hand...
Of course I didn't "look" for the 75 less and less over time... I didn't "look" in the garage and car many times....
I thought I'd not 'look" under the seats one more time, but the interior has been clean for quite a while. So I was fed up and I decided "To Look" for the 75... Right before I started to "look"...
I thought of my Mom and I didn't "Look"...
The driver's side is powered and I held the switch forward which is like a 30 second process. I felt under the seat from the back with nothing there...
I can only get my finger down to the nailbed between driver's seat and the console. As I hit the switch to move back, I heard something. I reached into the front of the seat just above the rail and felt something and there it was... Not a scratch and the battery 3/4 charged....
I'm sure glad I DIDN'T LOOK for that SMY...
Thanks Mom

So glad you found your SMY
Rain, and more rain here too. It's putting a crimp in the deck building process.
LoL Wharf!! Congrats
Dee, I've never used a Mac, good luck with the learning curve!
Katie fell at the top of the stairs about 6 this morning. She's ok, but she has finally decided it's time to go back to the Dr...something she has been refusing to do for the last year or so. In the last few weeks, she's been eating less and less, which only adds to her dizzy spells, weakness, and confusion.

Yeah....I hope the Doc can help Katy.....
The learning curve continues and I suspect it will for quiet some time....I really dig the fact I'll not be dealing with Avast anymore...For some reason my FB news feed has been freezing....did it on the old computer right before it died....fine this a.m. as I scrolled all the way through...just froze so I came here...News feed is the only page freezing....other pages on FB don't freeze....Thinking it's their issue or somewhere in my link to the web...Also debating kicking the Boost wifi to the curb and going with phone line DSL....followed by a Firestick and no more Direct tv....
Couple months back I let my displeasure be known with PetSmart's Banfield Vet...Always in the past Spike and I got thrown in a room and waited......This whole thing started when he lost a tooth and had a subsequent cleaning.....A back tooth is dis-colored as a result.....Thursday a Vet and a Tech were standing at the table when Spike and I entered....All is good with Spike and I asked the Vet about the dis-colored tooth and if his gums passed muster.....Tooth needs to come out....he needs a cleaning....This requires being put to sleep and I've been hawking those dang teeth....Bottom line it's good and I told the Vet Spike would keep that tooth unless it needs removal....The Tech agreed....something I found quiet strange...sorta a good cop bad cop routine??? Seems all they were interested in was upping my plan to the next level....Now dig this...His plan expires in October and all vaccinations are due in November...Recent research indicates that most vaccines last from 3~5 years.....Bottom line those beeches were mean to my dog.....I don't wanna over-vaccinate and lastly I'm dropping Banfield in October.....

Andddd...the Dr idea didn't last long! Was able to get Katie to eat good this afternoon, a sandwich and a bowl of soup. Forgot to mention that I took her blood pressure (just a tiny bit on the low diastolic side) and blood glucose (which was fine) this morning. After eating good, she was perkier than I've seen her in a few days. I think I just need to fix food and plop it in front of her, instead of just asking if she's hungry. This dementia stuff is hard to navigate, but I have an open dialog with our Dr. She is still excited about the deck and pergola, which should be near complete tomorrow. Sadly I had to order a porch swing...I can't believe neither Lowes nor Home Depot had any in stock! I'll put our glider bench on the deck until the swing gets here. I do have to say I'm not looking forward to doing the stain and water seal, especially on the pergola.
Dee, can't say as I blame you for kicking PetSmart and Banfield to the curb. I use Petco for Chase's grooming, but a local vet for his medical needs. I'm pretty sure that the vets who work for the big chains are under constant pressure to upsell, and teeth cleaning is one of the things that brings in a decent chunk of change for them

Yeah I'm through with Banfield......The upsell was definitely their main priority not Spike's health.....
