Well, that's a bit shit
Isn't it though. Especially considering that death rate could be dropped dramatically if everyone just acted responsibly...

Checking in, as are the Danny and William kitty. This was at 3:30am. I got tired of hearing William cry behind the door. So I said screw it, opened it and took the gate down. They haven't tried to tear each other apart yet anyway. Danny ( orange tabby) is so freaking chill anyway. That helps I'm sure. Hope everyone has a good day today. I have a group of D&D players due here in a few hours. Hubby plays. They always have a good time.
Good morning!
So far, anyway. We have the doors open right now, but it's going to be 104* today. Yuck. Hubby is busy planning to enclose our deck so that Jessie can go out. No, she's not spoiled
Keeps him busy, right? He needs it, had been diagnosed with pseudo gout. So painful, and most of his joints are so swollen. Nothing is working for him yet, but can't take nsaids which probably would work. Poor guy. Anyway, Jessie is on his desk, helping him figure out what materials he needs. I hear him gently telling her "no, I don't need your help with the keyboard". Lol.
Stay safe and healthy

Well I haven't checked in for a while... My county is out of the red... masks are mandatory throughout Ohio... no issues with groceries or TP. Friends + family are still Covid free. Just passing my days with my critters, dr appts, housework, and a lot of movies + TV.
It's been very hot + humid in Ohio for about 2 weeks straight now. I don't think we've had a day under 85°. I don't go outside unless it's absolutely necessary. ?

Awesome!
Cats have a pretty complicated social hierarchy...they'll work it out in time. Glad your cat is being patient with him.
Might want to have him back in his own room if the D&D gets loud (always did when I played ages ago)
BTW, ever watch this:
Not much going on yet today. I did the Milly chores, nuked the saved half of my brekky sandwich, drinking iced coffee, and fixed my damn Waterfox install that somehow got b0rked up on this Linux box. Ain't just Windows that has flunky updates..lol..
Lesson of the day:
It is gonna be a scorcher though. Still predicting 103 on my b-day...fukit...I get paid anyways. ?
Today:
At least I don't live in South/Central WA, they gonna die....

My 85 year old parents live in Sebring, FL. They live in an assisted living center and are really locked down. We are renovating part of the house right now, getting it ready for them to move up here in a few weeks. They can't wait to get out of there, and I can't wait for them to come.
And yeah, it's sweltering here too... Mid 90's with asthma inducing humidity

Been 90+ in both temp and humidity here for a while. Typical KY summertime.
AC going and windows dripping on the outside from condensation.
Nope not dual pane glass.

I'm one county north of Palm Beach. If you the add 2 counties to south Broward and Miami Dade, 31000 cases in just the last 7 days...
A little FL heat in KY? At least you have a chance of a cold front between now and end of October.?
FL summers about to run me out...
Lived in northern Tampa for 7 years. winters are nice but summers suck. At least it does not smell moldy all the time here.
FL type heat is normal here from mid July sometimes thru August.
At least we do not have the daily afternoon thunder sky flood every day here.

You know exactly then. Average date of 1st cold front here is 10/23. There's is no chance of any relief until then, 0- nilch-nada
Now: 96F, feel-like temp of 100°
14% humidity and the air quaility is pants with the 15-20mph winds blowing dust/pollen/smoke around.
I live a block from a 6-lane and a 4-lane intersection also. Smells like hot asphalt death outside.
I did pick up a nice big tin of genuine Phillipine coconut water though...not from concentrate or diluted. Amazingly refreshing stuff.

Doing as well as feasible. Hope everyone has the same. Run 'er slow.
Dogcovid, not really trying to make a joke. Just trying to find half a smile in a sad situation.
Exclusive: Buddy, first dog to test positive for COVID-19 in the U.S., has died
Even though the German shepherd likely had cancer, his health records show how little we know about animals and the coronavirus.

Happy birthday @CaFF Naturally, I didn't think to post here instead, lol but that's okay. 2x's is better anyway.
Morning!
Hubby has started on the deck project. Jessie does not like the noise, or Hubby being outside. She does still like chasing a fly in my bathtub!
Happy Birthday @CaFF !!!
Stay safe and healthy

Thanks everyone!!
Got a bit of a sore neck/headache today, probably just how I slept. Sleeping in this heat is crappy.
But, not too bad here. Paid bills this morning, got a b-day text from Dad, got Milly her supplement for her food, and bought a couple things for myself that I've never had....for cheap.

If you wait a bit the V3 will be out and I like it a lot better than the previous. Of course, that's just me. If you can find one on the cheap, I say go for it.
Better? How so? I'll get both. Never had 'em. For the price, why not.
I hope you're doing good, Deb. I had Mohs surgery on my back this morning. Thankfully he only had to do one 'scoop' vs. my nose a few years ago. They had to scoop 3 times. I now have a dimple on my nose.
BTW, fever only lasted one night. I'm good, but really tired. 5hrs sleep. Nap City for me in 30. ?.

Glad your fever did not last long. I feel the flavor is quite improved on the V3 due to the re-design of the airflow. I like the 1/4 turn cap a little better and now having the option of a 510 OR an 810 drip tip. It is also coming with a different sized chimney in the spare baggie for even more options on the airflow.Better? How so? I'll get both. Never had 'em. For the price, why not.

Happy B-Day to Meeeeeeeeeeee!
Fam was pretty generous on the b-day cash, so I splurged a wee bit.
Still, was only $35-ish for a sixer of 500ml pilsner and the 8yo Speyside single malt. Yes, you tend to get what you pay for, but with a bit of ice it ain't bad at all.

Morning!
We're doing ok here. Hubby is taking the day off from working on the deck. Jessie helped him dry off after his shower (she fights him for the towel), then helped him get dressed. Glad it's him and not me! Now they are watching youtube videos. I think I'll do some reading today, so some traveling from my recliner.
Stay safe and healthy

So those fares are pretty reasonable these days? How was the food?
(Seems like there's a series of YT videos about that rail trip across northern Scotland, too. Good idea, I might watch those today.)
Night before last I got fired from my job in my dream. All night long, it seemed like, I was getting fired. It was disconcerting, took all day yesterday to shake it off.
Food was good I made a big salad, macaroni and tomatoes and a sub sammie.So those fares are pretty reasonable these days? How was the food?

did not have to tip or wait in any lines or put up with obnoxious fellow travelers.
today I am making beanie weenies with Bush's steakhouse recipe baked beans and fried weenie slices and some potato salad to go with. Still have lots of mac and tomato and salad.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8mWulo_qPrlXZZw98nbR7g
Well menu is ready with french fries and or fish in the air fryer.
did not make the potato salad, it is Amish Potato Salad from Wally world. Best pre made potato salad I have found in the stores.
actually my first time cooking up macaroni....
Had to transfer to bigger pot
But the mac and tomatoes turned out very well well.
quite delish.

I'd put corn on the cob with that meal. Can't do potato salad. Mayonnaise. ooh shiver!
No corn on cob, but do have canned and frozen...
I usually cut fresh corn off the cob and fry/cook. Do love fresh sweet corn though.
Need to buy a bushel or so and cut off and vac seal freeze it.

Checking in and all is pretty good today. Samsung tech is coming back out Tuesday to look at the fridge again. Well, at least they are trying..........
William and Meko are so damn chatty with each other at 3am now. Don't know what the hell they are talking about. lol. Of course he was being all lovey dovey a moment ago and she pounced on him and tried to bite him. I said, See William, I told you she was a bitch lol. Wait till that cone comes off tomorrow, but he didn't even try to fight back but of course I yelled at her and she ran under the bed.
I need to take my older dog in Monday for her rabies shot. We had a damn bat at the back door last night when I was out there with the dogs and Major tried to grab it. He's fine as he had his shots not that long ago, but I need to get her done.
Death to all nasty bats
and pigeons! damn filthy birds. Dave is going tomorrow to get a couple of those big fake owls. I am tired of having to rinse off the patio every night.
That is the excitement for today so far. I hope you all at having a good Saturday
