It seems that the village is doing some work on the water lines before winter gets serious. They are doing a lot of feed line work, and they stopped in to tell us that tey were going to shut our water off for about an hour. It took them about 50 minutes, but we have water again. We took the dogs out... Sign in to see full entry.

We've had a rare loss of Internet connection here this morning. It was on about 8:45 and went down about 8:55. It came back up about 12:10 this afternoon. I had plenty to do off-line, but it was irritating to not be able to 'make the connection.' My headache of yesterday seems to have disappeared,... Sign in to see full entry.

It's beginning to rain fairly hard here. The thunder and lighting are lighting up the sky in magnificent fashion. I had just about fell asleep when Buster, our big black dog, wanted outside. I had been doing some work on the 'doggie-door,' so I had closed it. He likes to sit outside under the big... Sign in to see full entry.
Whew. I laid down to 'just rest my eyes.' Four hours ago. I had a massive headache that I attribute to the sudden atmospheric pressure drop that happened here earlier. I'm almost ready to start the actual writing of my attempt at a 'young millennial romance in the season of the virus' story. This is... Sign in to see full entry.
We've had a very sudden shift in temps.Yesterday at this time, it was 75. Right now, it is 59 with a steady wind of 15-20 mph. I neglected to turn the temp sensor up last night which resulted to Lisa becoming super-glued to me for my body heat. I'm 'thick' and she's quite 'petite.' I generate a lot...

Another day of getting a lot of things done. We've cleaned out about 70% of the garage so that when we begin to do the structural changes in there, it should just fly along. Lisa has swept up a lot of mud, dog hair (gobs of it out there after accumulating for four years) and lots of 'litter.' We can... Sign in to see full entry.
Lisa, Listen To Me
Kabu told me that I needed to give Lisa a chance to post here. After we've talked about things we don't talk about, let me be Ed McMahon and announce her... " 'Here'sssssssssssss Lisa!' Cue the Carson band and I'm leaving the room so she can write her piece without me standing here. Here's her theme... Sign in to see full entry.
Whew, busy morning already. Someone had given us about $125 worth of cans and bottles that they didn't want to return to the store (he said he felt like a 'welfare bum,' leaving me to wonder what he thought we were... hmmm?) so we took them all back. We now have $127.80 we didn't have when we got... Sign in to see full entry.

We've had a good night. I promised I'd save you the gushy stuff, but it was a good night. I'm happier than I've been in three years now. Lisa tells me that she hasn't felt this secure in well over ten years. She's comfortable with living here and with being with me. That should tell you everything... Sign in to see full entry.
We didn't get everything done in the garage today as I had hoped. Lisa found an old bed frame and matching headboards I had stashed out there, and it was all down hill after that. Long story short, we now have that bed set up in a secondary guest room. It was 83 degrees, hot for this part of the... Sign in to see full entry.
