Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

Draclvr I hope hubby is doing well after his surgery and the implant helps. Soot it is early for those pesky bugs, but the high 80s temps, sunny sky, and humidity is just what they like to become active!

Hope you all have a great day!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Drac, prayers the implant works for your hubby. Robert won the first two rounds of Music Bingo last night. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning Gerry Connie and all who follow. Mmmm, the WADDB and Bagels are marvelous this morning.

Have a wonderful day everyone

Good morning everyone!

Thursday without thunderstorms. Wonderful spring weather, without much bugging bugs.

WADDB and stuff wonderful.

Happy Thursday Gameboomers!

Good Thursday morning. Fogfighter, we had heavy duty thunderstorms last night with thousands of lightning strikes across the region. We had a tornado warning - meaning rotation has been seen - but it never fully formed into a tornado. Sunny and cooler today, but I'm sure it's muddy out there!

Hubby's surgery went well and he has two large bandages - one over the incision on the chest where the implant is and one in his neck where the lead is placed under the tongue. I guess they somehow run the lead up under the skin. The incision on the neck is really sore because you move your head a lot. He will see the surgeon's office in a week for post-op and then he will be turned back over to the sleep doctor. The will turn the device on in about 30 days and then start making adjustments to get it to work for him correctly. The damage to his heart caused by the sleep apnea cannot be undone, but hopefully this can keep it from getting worse.

Heading out to pick asparagus which bolted up about 2 feet after all the rain last night!

Good morning, all,

Draclvr, I hope the post-op recovery goes well.

It's a gorgeous morning here, but cold. My garden has burst into leaf this past week. I must remind my landscaper about the two trees I'm supposed to be getting.

Today is dance day, so I'll spend a couple of hours reviewing the notes and videos from last week. In last week's class I actually hit a wall where there was one move I could not, for the life of me, learn. That was towards the end of the class, when i was getting tired. It is very good exercise.

This morning I'll pack up some old towels for the local cat rescue.

Hope the next stages of your Husband’s post surgery go well, Draclvr 😍

I just want to add good wishes to Draclvr's hubby.

Good Friday Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

It reached 90 degrees here yesterday! It will be 20 degrees cooler today...in the 70s and less humid. Should be a more comfortable day to walk!

Draclvr sending healing prayers for hubby.

Have a Happy Friday everyone!

Gerry

Have a great weekend everyone.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Drac, I'm sending positive vibes that hubby heals quickley. Enjoy the day and hug someome.

Good morning everyone,

It's sunny and cold again today. It's only mid-April but the fellow from my landscaper who takes care of my sprinklers said he's setting them up to comply with Stage 2 watering restrictions. We didn't get any snow this year, so the restrictions could be quite strict this year. We're also apparently only allowed to wash our cars one specific daya week (as if )

Not much happening today. I'm still going through my closets, doing a deeper dive to root out all those nice things I'm saving for when I somehow magically drop down a size. My closets don't have room for wishful thinking.

Good Friday morning. Quite warm right now which is not a good thing as it is just fueling storm cells in the atmosphere which are supposed to potentially be severe later on today. We could also get more torrential rain.

This would NOT be a good thing for the big Spring Fling down at Longmeadow tomorrow! I had to run my little neighbor home from the bus yesterday and it was already a mess down there. There was a lot of damage to the gravel road going down there which is over a mile long. A couple of volunteers were running the tractors with blades and box scrapers to put it all back together before tomorrow. We usually have around 700 people and have to use a couple of the turn-out corrals for parking. They are already muddy. I'll be working down there all day, so it should be interesting!

Hubby took off the surgical bandages and got a shower this morning. The incision on his chest is about 2 inches long and the one on his neck is about 2 1/2 inches long. He's going to be pretty limited on what he can do for a couple of weeks.

Happy Friday everybody!

Drac, all I can say is, I hope it's all worth it and helps your hubby in the long run.

TGIF everyone. Draclvr, good news the proceedure went well...keeping you and hubby in my thoughts for his recovery. 90 degrees Gerry

Enjoying WADDB and bagels ... have a great afternoon everyone.

Positive vibes heading your way Draclvr.

I'm so disappointed. I like frozen pizza but for the last couple of years, I seem to get disappointed every time I have one. They changed the way they make the crust and no matter how I cook it now, it's always soggy. I like crisp! I've just been looking at Pizza Steels but they cost a small fortune. Has anyone ever tried one? My pizza stone used to be good but it doesn't keep a crisp crust anymore. I've tried a cookie sheet. I've tried a rack over a pan. All lousy!

oldbroad, your oven temp could be off. That's what happened to mine. They can be recalibrated. My repairman taught me how to do it myself next time.

Hey everyone! Business is booming and I've been crazy busy but I read everyday and wish you all well even if I'm not posting!

Drac, hope hubby heals fast! My husband had a Watchman installed in his heart two weeks ago.

Ana

Draclvr and BrownEyedTiger, I send positive vibes to your husbands.

This is my electric countertop oven, Ana. Nothing is wrong with it. It's the pizzas!

I hope the Watchman does what it is supposed to do. (I had to Google it.)

Prayers heading up for your hubby too Ana.

So, I've had another five or six calls with Dell, and finally someone actually listened to me when I said I thought it was something to do with the battery. He checked it out and agreed that the battery is the most likely culprit, or rather the connection between the battery and the motherboard. I'll get someone local to do the work since I'm not sending it back to Dell yet again. Hopefully that will be the end of it.

Fingers crossed this is finally it, hagatha. I agreed with your before that I couldn't believe no one had looked at the battery!

Have you tried setting temp on your countertop oven a little higher like by 25 degrees to see if that helped? I don't eat frozen pizzas, so I'm not much help. When I make my own, I use my cast iron skillets and back them at 400 degrees.

I've tried everything Drac. The pizza setting, the temps and times on the pizza instructions, and my own temps and times. I'm feeling beaten down by it now. Maybe I will try to just leave the stone in the oven with nothing on it for an hour or two. Maybe it needs drying out or something.

Sending my very best for your Husband, BrownEyedTigre 🤞
