February 22, 2025

            Good morning, it is Saturday and the cold weather is still hanging around. No, it isn’t as cold as it was (TV said it is 30 and my gage shows 33 degrees) and we are supposed to get up to the mid-40s today.

            I do need to water the plants in the hot house and I will attempt to do that this afternoon when the temp is in the mid-40s. It is supposed to be raining this afternoon which will not help me with the watering but it will help the ground to get over this very cold weather we have experienced. I will need to be careful when watering and not get water on the electrical wires.

            I did come up with a plan to make a table that will sit on top of a cart we have in the garage. The table will be two feet by four feet and it will fold in the middle, for easy storage. Being on the cart it can be moved easily to any work area, and it will be the right height for working while standing. If I put this plan into action, I will provide photos. For that one person who remembers that I had said I was going to make a foot stool for the office, well I haven’t worked on it much, but it is still in my plans.

            Different topic: the other day I had some time as it was too cold to go outside so I reviewed some of the things I had written. Sometimes I start a story and do not finish them, others I finish. I think I might go through these ole stories and after reading them, I might print them just in case someone might want to read one of them. One story is about the beginning of time and how God knows everything, another is about time travel, and there are others.

            I am assuming we will venture into town today for lunch at the sandwich store and as usual we will likely go to the cheap store. Last week we went to the cheap store and picked up a couple items, but when we saw the line at checkout, we decided that we did not need anything. I guess lots of people like cheap things.

            I have not commented on the subject of adult beverages lately. Now if you have been reading the past postings you might remember we had an adult beverage that was not any good and I poured it out. I have not had an adult beverage here at the homestead during happy hour since February 2, 2025. Since then when the weather was warm and we sat outside I was drinking water, and when I am inside, I have water instead of an adult beverage. I heard of people taking a month off from adult beverages so I decided to do the same. I thought to myself do I just like the adult beverage, or, am I addicted. Well, I would say I like the adult beverage as I have not really had any big desire to have a drink. I remember when I was addicted to tobacco (nicotine) now that is an addiction and difficult to get away from. It had been 20 years since I stop the tobacco use, and I am happy I did. Yes, I will probably purchase another bottle of adult beverage for the happy hour when we can again sit outside in the heat and enjoy the afternoon.

            Well, I guess I have taken too much of your time so I will stop for now, we hope you have a good day and please stay safe in all you do.

Not addicted – nice!

Senior ole person who has things to do and don’t want to do them, Don the Ford

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
