Is it a good morning? Yes, it is, it is not below freezing outside and the roads are not slick, so yes, it is a Good Morning! Oh, I should say my sister in Missouri sent a text saying it was snowing this morning. Another weather-related item, we have 1.25 inches of rain water in the Ford’s ole free rain gage.
What kind of day did we have yesterday, he asked. Well, it started out ok, I got the kids to school on time and safely, there was no bad winter weather at that time. I returned home and did very little except watch TV and they were showing the same stuff over and over. It is really bad what has happened to those people in California who lost their houses in the fires, but I get tired of seeing the same stuff over and over. It is like seeing the political crap over and over. I know what you are going to say, “then don’t watch it!” You are correct, but there is nothing that I want to see on TV, and very little for an ole person to do, so I sit there and get irritated.
A totally different subject: Two power drops yesterday 113V and then 115V. I was sitting here at the Ford’s ole computer and the lights blinked, the battery backup system made a sound which caught my detention I mean attention. The power dropped to 113 volts, then back up to 121 volts, then it dropped again to 115 volts, then back up to 121 volts. I thought, well here it comes, “a power outage”, but luckily the power stayed on.
Subject swap: I did take my favorite wife to the store as she needed to get something and then to the pharmacist to get a prescription. It got me out of the house for a while. We did decide to go out to supper even though it was raining. We agreed that if we did not get a parking space close to the front door we would just drive on back home as we did not want to be walking in the heavy rain. Well, we did get a parking space at the front door, it seems that no one wanted to get out in the bad weather to eat supper.
The lady who is a waitress there, talks with us every time we go, came up to us and said, “I did not expect to see you here tonight with all the bad weather”. We told her we were going to not stop if we did not get a parking space near the door. Then she asked, “do you want the usual drinks”, to which we responded, “yes please”. There were very few people there when we arrive and when we left.
Since it was cold and wet outside, we left Tres inside the house while we were gone. I did turn the radio on so he had some voices to hear while we were gone.
Today is Friday and I have no plans for the day. I may ask my favorite wife if she will let me drive her around town today, that would get me out of the house for a while. Our youngest son will be 50 years old this Saturday, so we will be going out to lunch to celebrate.
Well, I need to get going and take the kids to school.
I am back and they got there on time and safe. There did not seem to be as many students as usual going to school today, were they late or staying home because of the old wet weather?
I guess I should stop and then get started doing something, so I will say have a good day, be nice to at least one person and try to stay safe in all you do.
Ice no, snow no, rain yes!
Senior ole person who is happy it is not icy outside, Don the Ford
May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
