I'm waiting for some Amazon deliveries.. then if they get here early enough I'll mow the lawns..

We've had so much rain this past month, and yesterday was dry and today is sunny and dry so the grass has dried out, but it's soo long , so I'll see if I can get them done ..if not front and back at least the front.. and hubs will do the other at the weekend..

I've just started on a craft project I was going to do months ago, making a jewellery montage to frame... I've had to stop because I don't have enough jewellery.. and I'm so terrible at crafts, I just can't visualise what other types of jewellery to add to it...:unsure:

Oh well no rush, I'll do it when I can... :D

^^^ If it were me, I'd take the bike. How many more years do you have to experience a great motorcycle adventure. That's the way I look at it now. I did a 10 day tour last summer on mine, which I store at my brother's place in New Brunswick. It was a blast!! Great memories :love:

Well now you've done it! Put me back on the fence about which set of wheels to take. Pros and cons: the bike would be more of an adventure but the Miata would be more comfortable (heat and air conditioner are both very good with top down). In terms of fun to ride/drive, it's about a toss-up with the nod going to the bike. In terms of time, the Miata wins in that it will cut the travel time in at least half. (300 mile/day limit with many stretch stops on the bike). For carrying stuff, the Miata wins again (change of clothes, BP/cholesterol meds, laptop, cameras, drone etc.) In terms of balm for the mind and soul, the bike wins, hands, down. Tough call! Thinking about this and doing some more route planning is on my list of happy things to do today. Thanks!
 
If I can find the mental energy I'll mow about half my lawn that is way overdue.

We're only supposed to have a high in the upper 40s tomorrow with rain at 100%, and the weatherman said last night there could be a few flakes mixed in with the rain "in the higher elevations south of Rochester." That would be me, although I doubt it will happen. Weathermen always seem to get off by predicting everything to the extreme.

I took all the firewood off my porch Sunday and took it way out back where I store it for the summer. I'm going to have to bring some of it back for tomorrow. madbig.gif
 
I was up and out the door at 6:00 am!

The first stop was the gas station. $2.999/gallon for regular unleaded.

Next, I went to the state regional farmers market to pick up a few Memorial Day pots. Very few people wearing masks in the open air sheds.

Toured three of the local cemeteries to deliver the pots and pay my respects. All three cemeteries were neatly mowed and trimmed with fresh flags on the veteran's graves.

Went to the local PriceChopper on the way home to pick up a few items for the weekend.

Home by 9:30 am!

Stashed the groceries, did the dishes, daily side work, tidied up the kitchen, etc...

It seemed nice to get out for an early morning drive in the country and have a little something to do for the first time in a long time.
 
I had breakfast with a few friends. It has been over a year since we have gotten together. We had a lot of catching up to do.
It is my turn to wash dark clothes today, which I regard as an easy task. It is already hot outside so yard work is out.
I have some paperwork to catch up on, but my 20 year old cat will crawl in my lap and supervise so that should be easy as well.

Got up early. Fed the pets and myself later. Cut up some broccoli. Listening to some Spotify 60 music. I may do a load of laundry today or tomorrow. My life has gotten so boring....

Sometimes the right music can make doing a load of laundry interesting these days.

There isn't much excitement around here these days. I actually was so excited about going to breakfast with my friends that I woke up several time and looked at the clock to see if it was close to the time when I should get out of bed.

I would call that "boredom desperation."
 
We're sitting home right now waiting for the dentist to call. This morning my wife and I went to the dentist to get her Dentures fixed. So she is sitting here with no teeth in her mouth. 😲 The dentures will be ready by 4 pm today. I plan on taking her out for a nice dinner later today.
I hope my wife doesn't read this about her dentures because I'll be in the dog house the rest of the weekend. 🤣 🤣 🤣

It happens more often than we care to admit!

Friday morning..6:30 am. Looking at my to-do list and making it slowly go away. Need to go to BJs for supplies. Need to hook up the gadget that sends tv sound directly to my hearing aids. The battery in the Ring camera needs changing. The lawn swing needs putting together and the carport needs a good cleaning. I’ll do the BJs one and changing the battery one. The rest….doubtful.
 
Check up and vaccinations at the vet for my guys, this morning.....i think getting 3 dogs in the vehicle, is comparable to 3 kids.
My moderma vaccine at 4 o'clock.
I may visit a new store in town......don't know how long it's been there......just noticed it yesterday.
YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT KIND OF STORE IT IS.......I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT MYSELF......in this little town of 2500 people.

CAN YOU GUESS........
It's a CANNABIS store !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I took my early morning walk around 6:30,didn't go far because was a tad nippy outside,43,with a slight breeze felt even colder brrr!
This morning, my friend/ neighbor,Thora&I are going to our local grocery store,TOPS as we usually do every Fri The weather today isn't good rain/wind temps in mid 40's.If I can motivate myself,try to do some shredding,my pile is getting big.I'll read NYT,my book.I'll try to go for afternoon walk if its not raining
 
This morning, it was Breakfast With A Drone: UPS finally got around to getting the Skydio 2 drone to me last evening. This morning, I started reading the directions while eating breakfast. The first order of business was charging the batteries, which was easiest enough to do while eating a bowl of cereal.

This is about to become my aerial camera and the next step is familiarization and learning to fly it, which is today's big, to-do item. Having learned to fly a plane when I was 19, I am thinking this will be comparatively easier and much quicker (i.e., hours instead of days). Things that fly are more push-button today. This drone is heavily autto-controlled by an iPhone but I did get a manual controller for hands-on maneuvering of the drone and camera gimbal. There's also a supermarket run and some smothered chicken to make. Busy day.
 
My eyeglasses broke the other day. I tried to fix them and they are a little better but not great. We are going out of town next week and I am not sure they would last until I get home. No local place could promise I would get a new pair in time so now I have to drive about an hour away to a place that has a lab and makes them there. I am sure this will cost more too.
 
My plan is to do laundry. My eyes are watering because the smell of wood smoke is coming through my closed windows or around my air conditioner. Hard to believe I used to cook and heat with wood and now it makes my eyes water and stuffing me up. I even opened my door to the hallway which I never do.
