Good morning everyone,

Gerry, I get to bed late but I also get up late. I did NOT keep the habit of getting up early when I retired. I sleep best when I go to bed around midnight and get up around 7:30 or 8:00. If I try to sleep earlier than that I just lie awake for hours.

It's a rainy morning. I'm off to Pilates and the Post Office to return a couple of parcels.

Good Tuesday morning. Thank goodness those severe storms are over. We were very lucky to just get a little rain, some wind and about 20 seconds of tiny hail. Other places around us were not so lucky. Lots of damage reports coming in, but it doesn't appear there were any tornados. Sure is cool out though!

I would like to get back to working outside, but it's just a muddy mess out there. Caught up on laundry and mopped my floors yesterday, so maybe I'll do a little gaming today. Will be needing to make a run in town to get my first 10 pounds of sugar because my resident flock showed up today and they have gone through almost half a gallon just today! I guess they are really needing to fuel up after the long migration. I'd sure like to know how they find MY yard!

Have a great evening Boomers.

I have to get back to my pizza. I got to thinking about what Ana said about my oven temp being off which I said no to because this is my countertop oven. I started thinking that maybe the bottom coil might be going out but it seems to be okay. I did put my stone in the oven on a low temperature for 1-1/2 hours to maybe dry it out or something. But - what I forgot about also is that I used to start the pizza out on the bottom rack and then move it up to the top rack. Somewhere along the way I stopped doing that. I'm not sure if that's when the pizzas went down hill or not but tonight I tried that and it did come out better. Not great, but I think I just didn't leave it in long enough. I'll have to work on this . I sometimes forget from one day to the next how I did something.

That all being said though, I have read that they make the crust different now and that is why they don't crisp up nicely anymore.

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

Thanks for the "new break room" Ana! I agree Soot the best part of getting up early is watching the sun rise and sipping on a nice hot mug of coffee...a peaceful time of the day...no worries!

Have a Happy Hump Day everyone!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Music Bingo at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Wednesday morning. VERY chilly and windy outside. I went out to hang up another hummingbird feeder in a T-shirt... came back in and got a sweatshirt! I was wrong - there were a minimum of three tornados on the ground Monday, one of them with a path over 10 miles long. Still no reports of injuries, but there is damage. Luckily there were not near us.

Still too muddy to do anything outside as we got MORE rain last night. Must pick asparagus though. I'm going to pickle some today.

Good morning everyone.

It's a sunny, chilly morning. I have yoga this morning and later I'll lug my new power washer out of the car and set it up to clean the pollen off my patios. I also got a little hand-held version for cleaning out the cracks in the walkways, which are stuffed with needles and pollen. It will also be good for cleaning the Hardi-plank siding.

Good morning everyone. Another cool, but wet morning...we had storms and rain last night which was great but Max does not care for the thunder. But we enjoyed the damp walk this morning. Looking forward to more hummingbird visits.

We're off to the vet shortly for our monthly shots and a check-up while we're there.

Have a great 🐫 day everyone

Good morning everyone; Well, like the Dinah Washington song "What a difference a day makes". From a blizzard a couple of days age to 61F today & the sun is out. Have a great day & stay safe out there.

Darnitall. Now my garage door won't close.

If it's not one thing, it's another.

Good afternoon Boomers.

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

It's raining here this morning...cold and dreary, but it should be over this afternoon. No walk this morning not till the rain stops.

Hope you all have a great day!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. We need rain here, the wildfires are getting out of control. Hot, humid and windy then repeat. Everything is so dry. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning Boomers. Have a great day everyone.

Good morning everyone. We finally got some much needed rain yesterday...yay! Enjoyed a great walk this morning. Working chores, tasks and projects as directed Oh my, hope you get your garage door taken care of sooner than later Hagatha. I remember spring days like that when I lived in Colorado Judith.
Wishing you all a wonderful Thursday!

Good morning all.

It's clouding over. I wish it would either rain or be sunny. We're already looking at a horribly dry summer and some rain would be really beneficial right no.

The garage door is hit and miss. I'm parked outside for the time being just to be on the safe side, as I missed my Pilates class yesterday.

Hello Boomies hope all is safe and well hi hagatha sorry your garage Door is giving you trouble Have you tried WD40 on the sides of the door ? .... i too feel disheartened its now one (1) week that I cant get a Daybed (i can Buy one BUT) no one will assemble or haul away the old .... They love me to order But like I said to assemble and haul away is like pulling teeth ... I honestly dont know How on earth the seniors of today hold up? I have a daybed (4 0r 5 years old) that's sunk in the middle So I called a few places and NO they do not assemble or haul away ...... is that how they are treating the Seniors of today... ? the system of today focuses only on issues that does not help anyone ... sorry to have to lay this on gameboomers But I guess its my tun to vent a little ..... being 77years old with a not so great vision and heart problem ... Im at a loss and standstill cant even sleep well .... anyone have an idea on what i can do??? a little tip or idea maybe? Thank You all for just listening TY

Good Thursday morning. Still chilly here - at least it's sunny! Also still too muddy to do anything outside.

Last night of league bowling tonight. Tonight we bowl for prize money, so I should come home with a nice little jackpot!

Leeana, I'm not sure what you mean by a daybed. Are you talking about a hospital-type bed where you can raise and lower the top and bottom? That is something that would be covered by Medicare and you could get from a medical supplies store. If you mean the kind that converts to a sofa during the day, some stores will assemble and/or haul away the old one for an extra fee.

Happy Thursday everyone!

Leeana, I feel your pain! I hope you can get the help you need! I found myself on a slant last week when one of the slats that holds my mattress in the bed frame broke and two of the other three were fallen down on one side. If not for my brother, I would have learned to sleep that way.

I hope you each enjoy your day!

Only one more day until the weekend.

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready and a Birthday cake to celebrate Judith's birthday!

Leeana there are now business out there that just haul away "junk". You should be able to find one online try "junk Removal Service"...that should pull up a few links for you. Good Luck.

Hope you all have a Happy Friday!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Now we have a leak under the floor somewhere. Our piping is under the house slab, and the water is coming up from the floor. We turned the water off at the meter until we can come up with where it's at and get it fixed. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

In Europe the weekend is already here. The first of May. Mayday mayhaps.

Sunny and warm. Pleasant spring weather. Now some rain would be welcome. Not yet dry but it hasn't rained for awhile now,

Happy Mayday gameboomers
