Good Morning Connie, Fogfighter, hagatha, Draclvr, soot and everyone. Double dark Wide Awake brew is ready and I am in need of it this morning!

Draclvr hope you made it thru the storms okay and allis well. Fogfighter I sure hope Ms Sunshine warms your day soon!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. It's supposed to hit 100 degrees here today. Way to hot for my liking. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning everyone. I really enjoyed my dog-sitting stint but must admit there's no place like home. The double dark wide awake brew hits the spot this morning Gerry. Connie, I'll have a cinnamon crunch bagel and will also let you keep those 100 degree temps down there.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

Good Thursday morning! Well, we survived the horrid weather yesterday and Tuesday night. Others all around us were not so lucky. In Tennessee a friend of a member here has a post pleading for help after a tornado from the same storms that went through here destroyed her barn and she had a mare and foal trapped inside. Multiple tornados on the ground all around us, but I haven't heard of more damage. Sunny, breezy and very cool this morning. Hopefully my huge vegetable gardens will start to dry out so we can get in and plant the rest of our stuff! My tomatoes are getting too tall!

The DDWAB is just the ticket for this morning!

Oh no, the poor horse and foal. How awful. I'm glad you made it through unscathed.

I had a busy day today, I was expecting the Geek Squad to show up for three hours to set up my TV's and sound system, and that took up half the day, but also I needed some emergency mechanical repairs. Last night an annoying and loud noise repeatedly woke me up. At first I thought it was someone on a motorcycle idling outside at 2 am, and stomped out to "ask" then to kindly shut it, but it was dead silent out there. Ergo, something in my house. Except that about half an hour later, there was the sound of an engine revving, and then the noise faded away. A motorcycle after all! It came back. Again, nobody outside. Argh. It went on all night. Turns out my furnace needed some work. Something was flapping around in there. So a busy day and no time for recreation.

Anyway I now have two TV s all set up with my sound system and Blu-ray players, and a furnace that is back to its normal amount of annoying noise.

Good Morning and Welcome to Friday Connie, soot, Draclvr, hagatha and everyone. Wide Awake double dark brew awaits you all.

Connie that is way too hot for a spring day! I hope it cools down for you today! Soot I agree always nice to be in the comfort of home. Draclvr good to hear you are safe after those terrible storms. Hagatha it must feel good to have everything set up and functioning!

It is going to be a rainy day here today, but I hope to get a walk in any way.

Enjoy your day!

Gerry

Good morning and thanks for the DDWAB Gerry..

Over here Mr Sunshine and Mrs Sun finally arrived. Decent 14 degrees (Celsius) outdoors. No horror storms or spooky furnaces haunting the area. I'm starting to run out of crossword puzzles but there may be one for May too.

Happy Friday everyone

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. We need some rain, it has been super dry here. Only in the mid 90's today, but there is a cool front headed this way. Snacks and karaoke at Hacienda tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

T.G.I.F. good morning Connie, Fogfighter, Gerry, Draclvr, Hagatha and all that follow. Sure do hope the mare and foal were safely rescued Draclvr and that you and yours are well. Best wishes with your furnace repair Hagatha. Excellent news on sunshine for you Fogfighter hope you're able to find more crossword puzzles. The WADDB is most excellent Gerry...will be enjoying it all morning and early afternoon with Connie's donuts today. Hope you get some showers Connie...have fun at Hacienda tonight. Grocery run for me today and then I'll keep busy catching up with my projects and chores that need work as I've been gone these past weeks.

Have a wonderful Friday everyone.

Good Friday morning! So nice to see the sun and just breezy instead of so windy. That means I'm going to get my spraying done today! And of course, it's back to the weeds... after all the rain, they are pulling easily.

I can't imagine 100 degrees yet, Connie! It's chilly enough here that I have my little heater on my feet!

hagatha, sounds like you have the place humming now! You know rather than sounding like a Harley Davidson motorcycle!

Good morning.

We're having another lovely day, with our morning routines back on track. Willow is complaining about the food, as usual. Dude has gone off to wherever it is he goes early in the morning. There's an abandoned trailer on the forested lot across the road and I think that's his hangout. He goes out for hours and then spends the afternoon in a chair on the patio, no longer wanting to be out late at night.

The fan vibration is still an issue. It's completely silent everywhere else in the house but it's leaking up through the pocket door cavity between the master bath and bedroom and it bothers me -- one of those irritations that, once noticed, cannot be ignored. All options considered, I think taking out the pocket door, soundproofing inside the walls, and then hanging a normal door is the easiest and cheapest route, unless it's possible to soundproof the wall cavity itself and re-hang the pocket door. I'll have to consult with my contractor friend.

Good morning everyone. A lovely day over here. Mr Sunshine and Mrs Sun are blessing the surroundings. Temperature; 14 degrees Celsius.

I have made a pot of Somewhat Dark Wakeup Brew for emergency use.
Hagatha: I hope you can find a good solution to the spooky vibration issue.

Happy Saturday GameBoomers

Good Morning and Welcome to the Weekend Connie, Fogfighter, soot, Draclvr, hagatha, and everyone! Wide Awake double dark brew is ready.

Fogfighter enjoy that sunshine while it lasts! Connie hope you get some cooler temps. Soot you must be making good headway with those projects and chores...makes you feel good. Hagatha hope you get to find a solution to that annoying "noise"! Draclvr wish you a day with some sunshine.

Happy Saturday!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Got some rain last night, temps down to the upper 80's low 90's. A Sam's trip is on the agenda today. We are having our Mother's Day dinner with a Rose for the ladies at the Eagles tonight. The Eagles were responsible for making Mother's Day a holiday. We honor the mother figure at all of our meetings. Our motto is Home, God, and Country. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning everyone. The coffee and bagels are wonderful. I am off to start my weekend chores and projects enjoying temps in the low 60s this morning on my walk this morning. Have a great weekend everyone.

Enjoy your dinner tonight, Connie.

I'm heading back down to the Ranch to work a Wagon Day event. We have free wagon rides to the back of the 165 acre property, rescue pony rides, food trucks and general fun. Supposed to be a gorgeous 75 degrees.

We had stunning northern lights displays all the way down here in Missouri last night! There is a record and historical geo-magnetic storm right now. From our local amateur weather guy, "During the excitement last night, sunspot AR3664 exploded with its most powerful X class flare yet."

Good morning!

We're up to 21 Degrees here today, summer heat! I'm planning on washing my windows today, and if I have the energy I'll do my car as well. I'm about to head out onto the patio with my coffee.

Happy Saturday everyone!

Supposedly the Northern Lights were visible here in Chicago also, but not from where I live. I really would like to see those.

We had awesome lights last night oldbroad! If you want to see them in Chicago you need to look through your phone camera. They were everywhere you looked, I took lots of photos. The sky looked dull and gray until you held the phone camera up. Hope you can see it tonight! Try it!

Good Morning Connie, soot, Draclvr, hagatha, oldbroad, Ana and everyone! Happy Mother's Day too!

Double dark Wide Awake Brew is ready to celebrate!

Oldbroad and Ana amazing here in Connecticut we could also see the Northern Lights...a great mother's day gift from Mother Nature!

Enjoy your day!

Gerry

A fine Sunday with great weather. Neither cold nor hot. Mrs. Sun is still blessing the surroundings and Gerry's DDWAB made the day.
I'll provide some Swedish knäckebröd for emergency use until Connie arrives with the yummy Danish Donuts and Bagels

Over here Mother's Day is the last Sunday of May. Different countries, different traditions.

Happy Mother's Day and Sunday GameBoomers

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. I would love to be able to see the Northern Lights, too far South here. Happy Mother's Day, Robert is taking me to dinner tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Happy Mother's Day to all of our moms! You all are extraordinary women!


Good morning Connie, Fogfighter, Gerry Ana, OldBroad, Hagatha, Draclvr and everyone. I've not heard of using your phone's camera to view the northern lights...that's a great idea...will give it a shot this evening. Thanks for the knäckebröd Fogfighter. The coffee and danish are marvelous! Enjoy dinner tonight Connie.

Good Sunday morning and Happy Mother's Day to all our moms!

FINALLY! We are going to get the tomatoes in the ground today. I had to work that Wagon Day at the Ranch all day yesterday, but hubby was finally able to get the two huge vegetable gardens tilled with his big tiller on the back of the tractor and drilled my holes for me. Between his back being down for 11 weeks and the non-stop rain and severe weather, this is really late and my tomatoes are too tall! The goal is to get all 96 planted today, but we were both totally beat after our long days yesterday, we'll see!

We are getting a couple of steaks out of the freezer for tonight. We have a huge bag of fresh lettuce, radishes and spring onions from the garden, so will have a feast tonight!
