I never heard of doing this! Does the gas freeze? Then again, I never had any motors outside besides my car.

We run the gas out to keep it from sitting in the carburetor all winter and gumming it up. This is why a lot of outdoor equipment like wood splitters or generators have a gas shut-off switch that allows you to do this without running all the gas out of the tank. It may not be needed if your engine is fuel injected instead of using a carburetor.

Thank you, I learned something today. 🌹
 
I won't be as busy today as I was the past few days. I'll vote early so I won't miss my Fed Ex delivery. I also have to put away the laundry from the weekend and sort more laundry. Over the weekend, I did laundry 2 mornings in a row, something I've only done twice. I also went food shopping early Saturday morning to avoid a lot of people; I usually go during the week. Yesterday I did some light cleaning, got a visit from my grandson, then took an Uber to my eye appointment. My son had to pick me up from the eye doctor yesterday and had gotten off a little later than expected so he postponed the Costco run until today. Assuming he is able to go today, I'll be rotating stock and putting things away. One thing I did get to do over the weekend was watch episodes of The Rookie (via Hulu) and Manifest (Netflix). I intend to continue today.
 
Not as chilly today as it has been over the last couple of days although it's blowy and a little overcast. My plans for today are a long walk, pick up some shopping and then come home and finally pack away my summer shoes and get out the winter boots. Yep, I have had to accept that those hot, sultry days of summer are long gone :(
 
My usual stuff. Yesterday I walked with two canes as it’s too windy for the walker. I also read that walking while moving your arms causes you to burn more calories and seems that is true so I may try to walk with two canes. It’s a bit worrisome as sometimes my heart issues want me to sit down, but I can’t use the walker in the wind anyway.

Walking outside is better than treadmill walking for health reasons. I got the treadmill for those days when walking outside is just too dangerous for my age group-risk of falling due to ice, sNOw, etc.

We did not get the promised sNOw (😊) yet but it is still very very windy but down to 20 mph with stronger gusts. It is warmer than expected 51 degrees and supposed to rain all day. Finished rearranging my space, so I will catch up on my tv shows.
 
Finally the rain has stopped, and altho' not actually sunny, the skies are Blue, but the winds are verrry strong. I think the wind will blow most if not all of the leaves from the trees now..

I have no plans to go out today.. got couple of things needing doing in the house, but otherwise no plans.. It kinda stymies things a lot when it gets dark at 4pm..
 
On my early walk at 6:30 it was a tad nippy 39 , no wind as I went to buy some milk
This morning I'll be walking to my church for our monthly 'Passages' program at 12:30 Today member of our church,Bonnie who is the Board President of local Salvation Army,will be talking about what the organization is about how it helps people in our community. A lunch{costs $10} I come early to help committee members set up/clean up afterwards
The rest of my day,try to get another walk in read NYT,my book
 
Today I will graduate to….sorting through…..screws, nuts, bolts, screwdrivers, plyers, small tool type things……will not be needing thousands of these….see what new homes I can send this stuff off to.
I’ll sit at my dining table, doing this, so I can see the beautiful white crap outside. 😏😏😏.

Yesterday was a busy one! It took me all morning to clean up all of those dirty dishes...and Andy wouldn't even help.

(I don't think he even felt guilty!!

🚗 The afternoon was spent cleaning the interior of the car. I usually do it twice a year, but I missed it in the spring. I was either sick, or the weather was bad. So now it's done, including the trunk!!

📚 In the evening, I actually had a little time to read my book!!

This morning, I checked the website for the library, and it said that season 2 of Yellowstone was available. (That's what it said last time, but someone beat me to it!!! 😠). So after breakfast we are going into town and try, again, to get it. Fingers crossed!!I

Enjoy your day!
 
Dug out my old desktop
Plan on firing it up to see if there's anything good on it
If there is, I'll offload it onto my hard drive, cruise thru it one more time
then
take a hammer to it

Other than that....gonna rearrange some stuff in the shop
And watch the elections
 
Walked on the treadmill, watched tv, the rain lessen so got dressed and went for a walk outside. A block from the apartment it started to hail. Hail in the face hurts 😳. Finished my walk just in time for hard rain to start to fall, still better than the light hail.

For those that don’t know, we are electing 435 house members, 35 senators, and, for those that care, 36 state governors. And this is an non presidential election. Presidential elections are every 4 years. So in two years, we do this all again. 😂

An amazing thing happened this morning to me. I play a game called World of Warcraft. For five years I’ve tried to complete a certain dungeon, but one puzzle was just to hard for me to figure it out. This morning the light bulb in my head lit up. 😂😂😂

Well, dang, I don’t know why I could it figure it out before. Once I got through that I reached another puzzle and couldn’t find the way in so I jumped down a shaft, sure I would die. Nope, landed in a bay. Killed that boss which open the door to kill the final boss and finish this stupid dungeon.

Which I did. YAY me. 🥳
 
So far since I woke up this morning I have been getting picked on by my husband and daughter. It seems like neither of them thinks I do anything but sit around all day. I admit I do sit down a lot. I have stage 4 kidney failure. My one leg is swollen and makes it hard to get around but I try. I know my daughter worries about me and the fact that I am getting older every minute. I just wish I would stop getting yelled at every day.
