@hawkdon Sausage gravy and biscuits: food for the gods! I love it. Throw in some huevos rancheros and hash browns, and I'm there!

It's overcast and cold here, rained most of the morning, but I didn't care because I was working.

Took down the unfinished rose gold tree and put it all back in the box. I'm going to return it because I just plain don't like it. I thought I'd get out the other decorations and put them out/up. Meh. Not feeling it.
 

Well with the help of 3 heatpads over the space of an hour.. and some heavy duty Painkillers.. I managed to strip the bed..( very slowly and carefully).. and get the bedding into the machine.. and remake the bed. See, this is where the Coverless Duvets come into their own, if I;d had to faff around trying to put a Duvet cover on, I wouldn't have been able to do it due to the pain in my back .. fortunately I have 2 coverless Duvets to choose from and a 3rd ordered and on it's way...

Thought my washing machine had broken down..my heart sank when it stopped mid wash and refused to go.. but after fiddling around with switches and knobs I finally got it to start again.. *phew*... washing is in the dryer now.

Cooked some chicken thighs in a Ready made Korma Curry sauce.. and some Rebachon & Bacon tartlettes ( I know it sounds like a weird combination)... however the tartlettes and the broccoli cooked in the Air fryer easily so it saved me having to cook anything that might cause pain .. ..anyway it was very tasty ..

Watched SCD ( strictly come dancing )... I record the Main show, and then the results show , and then watch them back to back

Now at almost 8.15pm, I'm back with a heatpad behind me again...

Yesterday it rained lightly all day. Today is supposed to bring clear, mostly sunny weather with a high of 69°, then more showers starting around dawn Sunday through early afternoon. Happy for the break in the weather because it gives yesterday's rain a chance to soak in. Also, selfish reasons. We're hosting a party here tonight. :cool:

I'm finishing my second cup of coffee and will start with light chores as soon as DH gets up. I just need to dust, mop, get the Roomba going (yay - no vacuuming!), and set up the food. Might bake another run of biscotti. It has a habit of disappearing from the platters.

It's not quite 8 AM here.

I know your party will be a success. Enjoy yourself!
 
Made 3 dozen bran muffins. Forgot to add the blueberries until the final dozen. Cleaned up the fridge and served leftovers for lunch.

This afternoon I may go to one of the craft fairs. It’s full steam ahead for these prior to Christmas.

Again the conditions are too cold and treacherous for walking.
 
Today is my 70th birthday. Weather in the mid 70's and sunny. We enjoyed a round of golf with our couples Saturday golf group, then lunch with our group of 14 friends. Even had our lunch bill paid by good friends. I got a call from my sister in Wisconsin and daughter in Chicago wishing me a Happy Birthday. Day would have been even better if either one could have been here with us. I have so much to be thankful for.

As a side benefit I will now start getting my max Social Security check next month. So that will be something to look forward to.

The Corn Chowder finally came together and I am enjoying a warm bowl while I read y'all's entries. Also baked a butternut squash that will be used partly for roasted squash and potato soup (with curry) and part just for eating with butter. I love it.

Spent most of the day with daughter and younger granddaughter-- lunch out then Christmas shopping.

I have a Martha Grimes mystery I'll curl up with later; I love her witty writing.
 
Layed down for a nap this morning and then slept the whole day. At least I feel rested😉

Fed the pets and need to cook dinner for myself but I don't feel like it. Trying to get myself in the kitchen and cook. Making un stuffed cabbage with ground turkey.

Right now I'm putting ornaments on my tree. They and the Angel tree topper came today. Taking my time doing it.

Have a good night everyone ☺️,⁉️🌹
 
Took a break from the Chevy today, (waiting for some small parts), and decided to tackle the replacement of the front end struts on my Suzuki. I wish all struts were that easy to change. Exactly 1 hour 33 minutes from the time I rolled the tool tray and jack out until I washed my dirty paws. :) Left me time to head to the local swap meet and score a small metal socket box and to replace my missing 14mm deep socket. Pretty much a nothing day.

Sounds like you know a lot about car repairs. I have a 2005 Chevy classic. When I put it in reverse and go back on an angle the wheel suddenly won't turn. If then I drive it straight forward and then go straight back in reverse no problem. I'm taking it to the repair shop on Tuesday. Have any idea what is wrong with it?

Need a little more info. When backing up with the wheels turned, are there any strange noise's? (grinding, growling, chattering, etc).

No sounds but it used to shake and now it doesn't.

First guess would be a bad cv joint. (the jointed axle that drives the wheels) There are however other things that can mimic a bad cv or also potentially lock the axle when reversing, especially when turning the wheels left or right, (a stone jammed in the joint that has a torn cv boot for instance.)
Most places charge between $300 to $700 to get the job done.
