Mornin Muffins! Just another rainy day in NEPA!!! This is getting tiresome. Gotta get the shopping done - it's senile citizens' day at the markets 5% discount. Now if you want to see a scary sight, imagine a supermarket filled with senior citizens!

Good Morning Kids! Once again, it's cool here, and "good sleeping weather". I'd better get my projects done this morning, as I've got a care conference for my relative this afternoon. They schedule one of those conferences once every three months, and that's how I know the year is flying by...

By the way, I should've mentioned earlier that the hot fudge pie was a hit with my family. I was actually surprised it tasted as "chocolate-y" as it did, considering the recipe only asked for unsweetened cocoa powder. If anyone wants the recipe, I'll share, but I highly recommend serving it right out of the oven, with vanilla ice cream.

Mornin Muffins! It is another one of those days where I can't get going. Not sleeping well for some reason and it's too noisy to go back to bed!

Hi,kids!!!! I,m ALIVE!
I had a couple more rounds of surgery, and came out a new me (literally). I'm practically bionic. I was out of touch because my laptop crapped-out on me while I was recovering & it took a while to get set up with something new. After recovery & rehab I was treated to a west coast vacay brother & got myself rejuvenated & re-charged.
It's great to be back with all the Muffins & assorted YMAM peeps. Missed you like crazy.
Oh, and I've met someone so he's also to blame for keeping me distracted & otherwise occupied.
Anyhoo, it's wonderful to be back!

Good Morning Kids! Welcome back ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ ! We've missed you. So tell us, is your "distraction" a doctor? I didn't sleep well last night due to hip pain. It could've been caused by all of the rain we're supposed to get today. I've got plenty to do here at home, so if the rain keeps me home, I've got projects waiting for me.

Last night was a bust, I went to make dinner and the oven fuse blew. So I just called the landlady for 30 AMP fuses, I can't go I'm too weak. She's tried 4 of their own fuses, no luck yet.

Aahhhh! Three Am....quiet....(how's that go now?...."not a creature is stirring, not even a mouse"...) that one was great, lets have another .... Hmmmm....the word from the mountain says National Non-profit Day today....Really? On a "money board"? Is that even a remote possibility? Hey, Guru says today is National Massachusetts Day. What's a good recipe to celebrate with? And, last but not least, the Guru says today is also National Thrift Shop Day! Right up my alley! What better way to express my German heritage than putting a little "squeeze" on those pennies!! Here's to Thursdays Everywhere!!

Good Morning Kids! We were in a tornado watch area last night, but fortunately the bad stuff missed us. The stormy weather kept us awake for awhile, though. And, it's still cloudy out this morning.

Afternoon mine peeps! Love our Jag's new signature picture! Very 1960s groovy and retro. I guess I must be serious about working for myself. I added Quickbooks Self-employ to my computer and phone. The phone is mainly to auto-track work mileage. The computer is to track everything else: freelance, part-time work and any invoicing I need to do. I did look at a number of accounting systems, but good old Quickbooks still seems to be quite good. We've got a number of storms out in the Atlantic, though nothing seems terrible at the moment. We have plenty of food and water, for us and the cats. Could be good for me for my part-time job - we get a lot of calls from clients who cannot do their own storm prep and need help. . We need to fill our gas cans, but aside from that, we are all good. Dinner is sausage, onions and peppers over pasta tonight, after a bike ride.

I had to get 4 units of blood cause my haemoglobin was so low. I was at 75, but by the time I left more like 156 or so.

Yi Yi Yi if we survive the next few days it will be amazing. The apoc-eclipse is beginning in the state. There are multiple, large wild fires burning and way too many people pouring into the state.
About a 3 1/2 hour drive south of here there is a 10 mile back up on the interstate because of a wildfire burning along the interstate. The highway that people would use to go from Eugene OR to central Oregon is closed because of wildfire. They are evacuating the outskirts of Sisters OR because of wildfire. There is a 30 mile back up in the Prineville, OR because of 30,000 people trying to get into some eclipse festival, which is apparently way understaffed. The Jefferson wilderness and Sisters wilderness areas are completely closed because of wildfire. (Thousands of people had planned on camping in these wilderness area to view the eclipse) In Detroit Oregon the highway runs along the reservoir for several miles. I guess at times you can not see the lake because of the smoke from a wildfire in that area.
We are under severe fire restrictions even in the city. No backyard fire pits. You can use gas/propane grills but not briquets.
So far where I am is not bad, if anything the traffic is lighter than usual because the locals are just staying home. This weekend should be interesting. The state is on fire and we are going to add a million more people.
When I was getting my haircut this afternoon one of the beauticians grew up in Madras OR which is a wide spot in the road but is apparently eclipse central. She said that NASA scientist are renting out homes for $10,000 for the week so they can observe, do experiments whatever. She was a little upset that they had sold Mom's house last year, but apparently her sis got in on the deal.

Here is a map of Oregon showing where there will be total eclipse, since I will probably be jammering about it all weekend.
