Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Good morning everybody

Good morning, Kat.

Morning, mixers.

Still summer, at least for another day

Went out after dark for a bit, no lights in the sky.

My son sent me a bunch of pics he took from his back yard

Beautiful.

Made it though the Mothers's Day breakfast and gifts and my grocery shopping. Just finished a bowl of cereal and now I will walk.

I just cleaned out my blackberry crumble tank last night so I could switch coils and realized I don’t have another bottle already steeped so will have to do a quick remix this morning.

My mile walk took 25 minutes. Now will sit here for a few minutes and then maybe do some puzzle.

Really good idea. Maybe a big bottle and also a small one that steeps faster.

Have you heard about the solar flare? They are talking about possible power outages and internet outages. I'm almost certain it's a false alarm. None of the news segments have mentioned the odds of problems happening. All they got in Europe was some nice auroras, no power problems.

I was finally ready to start my PC copy tonight but it would leave a huge mess if the power went out part way through so I'll probably put it on hold for a couple of days just in case.

Huh. Last night, my battery backup went nuts seven times, with the voltage dropping down into the thirties and then shooting up into the four hundreds (it generally holds steady at 120), even though there were no other signs of power fluctuation (lights held steady and no clocks lost the time). I wonder if the flare was causing it. I hope so. I don't feel like ordering either a new battery or, worse, a new backup.

I bet it was the flare

I hope you're right.

I got a new bottle of blackberry mixed and got in a workout. My MiL called to let us know that my BiL is getting out of the hospital. My MiL picked a fight with my wife two nights ago and the BIL picked a fight with her yesterday so we won’t be going near either of them this weekend according to my wife. Bad timing with tomorrow being Mother’s Day.

That makes me really sad for your wife

If anyone noticed I didn't say goodnight last night it was because my iPad said no internet.

Yes bad timing but it's their fault.

What I read said they weren’t expecting major power disturbances.

I got my walk in, but I didn't do as well as yesterday. It was hot and humid and I'm a bit sore from yesterday's walk, I only did 6 laps, or a mile and a half. I was dragging from the very first step. Tomorrow I work, so I won't be walking.

 

[hittman]

I went ahead and took our dog for a walk before it gets too warm for her. She doesn’t do well in higher temperatures.

Maybe you should stick to the mile and a half for awhile.

Don't blame her for that.

Well, I'm off for another walk.
