Happy Veterans Day to all who ever served. My dad was a Normandy survivor

81 at noon, down to 79 now and cloudy, low was 66, feels like June.
Rain is getting close, can feel it in the air.

We had the key fob issues yesterday, I bought new batteries for Ellen’s Ford Edge, came apart easily, but going back together not so easy.
Finally figured out the hidden key compartment had to be removed, the other two sections snapped together, then snap the key cover on. We were both cussing those things.

My digital thermostat has a backup battery, which makes no sense, if I lose power the HVAC won’t work and the thermostat has a memory chip. So basically I just ignore the battery.

A friend of the family had a Douglas Dauntless dive bomber in the late 60s, I got one ride in that thing, man was it noisy and rough, but heck of a ride for a 15 year old. Seems to me he said it burned about 45 gallons an hour.
I was never a pilot but I got a lot of ride time with friends, not counting commercial flights. Got one flight in a two seat glider, dead opposite of the Douglas, quite and smooth.

Everyone have a good day.

69F and partly cloudy @ 16:00, headed down to an overnight low of 37F. Sun peeking through occasionally.

High hit 77F yesterday and we've had record or near-record temps for the last three days.

Just beautiful weather - and I took the last couple of days off (more or less) to just kind of enjoy it ... :thumbsup:

Did get three mums un-potted and planted yesterday in the northeast planting bed though and The Woman got the hibiscus replanted into larger pots. Still need to move those inside. Also did a little garage cleanup as well.

Got last pieces (bottom perch and support) glued and screwed onto the second squirrel feeder last night, need to cut the clear plexiglass front panel for it today and finish applying the BLO to the first one and start/continue on the second one. Also need to put bird bath back up after cleaning it.

Ground hog and squirrels out (cooperatively) grazing around the bird feeders, some birds as well. Imagine the action there will pick up in the next few days as the temps drop.

Will catch up more later.

Hope everyone is having a good day ... :thumbsup:

36ｰF and clear skies this morning, going up to 55ｰ today.

The storms expected yesterday evening never materialized, at least for us. There was apparently some wind damage north of us, but all we got was just enough rain to make things wet. We only got the tail end of the front that pushed through. Got a few things done inside the house, then settled on the couch downstairs and listened to some relaxing music with one of the cats. My lower back was rather thankful for the respite, not to mention the ridiculously hot shower that followed.

Veterans Day here in the US. Saying thanks hardly ever seems enough.
An old friend of mine who is a retired USMC Master Gunnery Sergeant has been writing some rather long posts on Facebook the last couple of days, recounting his time of service. It is a mixture of riveting combat stories and insightful philosophy as only seen through the eyes of a career warrior. His ridiculous sense of humor makes it all fun reading, though. Today is the one year anniversary of his "retirement," and after a year of still working at The Pentagon and State Department, he's actually talking about going back into The Corp. Our freedoms are resting securely on the broad shoulders of such people. "Thanks" hardly scratches the surface.

Tell your friend Thank you. I wouldn't mind reading his posts.

Good afternoon all.

Low this morning was 62. That’s 10 degrees above average high for this time of year. Low 70’s all day. The rain arrived around 10am. It’s heavy right now.

Got the chimney cleaned this morning before the rain arrived. The rest of the day was a few errands and energy conservation!

As others have said, a simple Thanks to our veterans seems so inadequate. However, I’ve been told by more than a few that they really appreciate the sentiment. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!

Welcome back Lynn, good to hear from you. How about some updated pics of the completion of the house? Yard? We like pics....

Sorry yard has snow on it. But next summer it should look amazing with all flowers in full bloom.

The predicted high of mid-70'd wasn't even close...at best, we hit the mid-60's and on and off rain showers...
Cooling trend coming in...most of the next 10 days is mid-40's to the mid-30's....
