I have had the same problem with re-connecting computer/tv/etc cables. The last time, I wrapped tape around each end of every cable and marked it, along with the place it plugged into. "A" to "A", "B" to "B", etc. It really helps.

That's what I do with my chargers. I wrap each with a piece of colored electric tape I've also put on the device covers. I have 3 ebook readers (fiction, nonfiction, and kobo for when I'm mad at Amazon) and a tablet (for books that are heavily illustrated). Even if three Kindle chargers look exactly alike, one cannot assume that the yellow one will charge the blue ebook. It is so bizarre. The good thing about my Kobo is that kobo is printed on the charger.
 

Up date on the oatmeal bread......I made so many mistakes ,, that the finished loaf will become animal food.

Been trying to clean some f the mess in Hubby' garage.
He has been keeping,, ear corn in barrels in the garage.
Corn is a tacking critters,,nice & bugs & rats!!!

Hubby has a difficult time getting down to ground/floor level,, so I've down under the shelves,, up & down. surprised Both of were surprised at how much corn was hidden away,, almost under the floor in some areas.

Maybe when it gets warmer again, we can block where they are getting.
 
Had to take my 2002 Saturn SC2 to the automotive repair place this AM.

The “clicky” sound the bottom hinge has always made on the driver’s side, since I rolled it off the showroom floor, broke last night. The techs assure me I can still drive the car as this hinge has nothing to do with the safety of keeping the door shut.

It acts as a doorstopper. My biggest thing is being able to hold it, if the wind grabs it.

We are all on the hunt for a door. My brother found one first — up In Wisconsin. I texted the link to the repair shop. If the numbers match my car’s door, it will get shipped down here.

Then I went to Tractor Supply, for dog and horse feed —- that grocery bill was $253. It Should all last about 4 to 4-1/2 weeks.

Moving on to Kroger where my personal grocery bill was $39, lollol. I filled the car with gas since we are supposed to get nasty cold this week. It is now 2:00 PM and only 31F. In the teens at night all week🥶🥶

Home since last night. Son bought burgers from our local joint. Can't remember when I've had something so delicious. Happy to be home. Not physically well today. Achy and shaky & headachy all day. Promised son I wouldn't yell at Louie, but I forgot when he bit me. Didn't hurt, startled me.

So tired.

My first ever selfee image, taken with my Cyber Monday purchased Pixel 10 Pro, yesterday 1/14/2026. After driving the 223 miles yesterday afternoon am back home doing little and re-cooperating from 3 strenuous skiing days. Nice sunny fair calm weather day here with temp now about 65F, so have windows and doors open letting in the fresh warmer air. Mic'd a 10oz package of frozen spinach for lunch.

#1 I wish you would grow a beard and mustache. Then we can vote on whether it would behoove you to keep it! Whatcha think?

Was your previous phone a Pixel? Mine is and I've been thinking about upgrading to the 10 Pro. The sticking point is that this phone has irritated me from the day I got it. The worst part is whenever Google updates it, my settings get changed, and new stuff happens. Like after the latest upgrade, I cannot answer my phone. Most everyone knows that now, so they know to let it ring a few times and then hang up and I'll call them back. I'm pretty tech savvy, so I've already found everything on how to handle this problem, and none of it works, including a few ideas of my own. So pissed I am. ( @hollydolly , in the US that means angry, not drunk!)

Secondly, Google just got caught in CA doing something like spying on people regardless of their phone settings. I'll post a link when I find it. I run, of course, a vpn (Proton) along with other proton apps on my phone, and have CCleaner, and so forth. Privacy is absolutely vital to me because of no reason other than I believe that I (and everyone else) am entitled to it.

So are you having any problems with your new phone? Thanks for any upcoming advice!
 
Well the day has started very early. I thought for some strange reason.. when the alarm went off at 7.15am.. that it was 6.30am.. so I didn't get up... fortunately I;d set another alarm for 15 minutes later.. and I jumped out of bed, and I'd just got out of the shower , and dressed.. no hair brushed or anything when the Plumber arrived..at 7.50am.....followed 10 minutes later by the Tiler to finish the tiling he didn't finish yesterday .... waayyy to early for me...

It's 8.40am now and I'm very pleased this is Friday and after today I'll have 2 days break from them.

have the best day you can Peeps of SF... 🌺
 
Morning all, I went on my early walk at 6:50,temp was 17 ,like yesterday no wind,I manage to walk around the building unlike yesterday The high today 25 with peaks of sun
We're all a bit sad today, Val Cooley{church member} beloved resident here at Gates passed away yesterday,she was 82.She had health problems in/out of hospital a couple times over the yrs.I had known Val for yrs, she started singing in our church choir in 1957 retired 2 yrs ago.Val& late husband, Fred moved here in 2021, she suggested I move here as well,when I did she was thrilled
The rest of my day exercise class at 10, read today's NYT,see what today's lunch& dinner menu is offering
Everybody have a good day
 
I got up early, but now I want to go back to bed! It's still dark, with single-digit temperatures and winds gusting up to 50 mph (80 kmh). I can hear them howling.

Luckily, I don't need to go outside, but I'd prefer to be snuggled under the covers instead of working. But deadlines call, so I'll just keep drinking coffee and bundling up in my cardigan and fuzzy socks. :)

Hope everyone has a good day.
 
Good morning everyone. It is cold this morning 26 degrees, warming into the 50's. I had the lawn mower man cut back the gardenia plant so I could cover it more easily. It is an old plant but somehow it survives.

I am not having too much luck finding a new doctor for us. The one I found is not one we want to go to as I read he orders too many tests and wants a person to go to other specialized doctors. We just need a primary doctor.

I hope all of you in the cold, stay well and warm. Have a good day, everyone. :)
 
First photos of me in 4 years..taken today ( except the ones that were taken on my 70th birthday which I haven't posted here)..... we had a beautiful sunny day again..albeit a little breezy........ so I had a big polo neck jumper on... but this in the garden today..no make-up.just some lipgloss....

I'll be 71 in 3 months time..

...... so I had a big polo neck jumper on... but this in the garden today..no make-up just some lipgloss...and the wind was blowing my hair into a tangle.. but hey, me now at age 70 and 3/4's ...

I'm happy you are home too Pepper and that you had such a good tasting burger. Continue to rest and heal well.
 
I've made my final decision on the new ''white goods'' for the utility room.. washing machine, dryer.. fridge-freezer, and I'm changing my cooker in the kitchen at the same time

Took me all week looking at reviews and specifications, and youtube videos to finally decide what to have. Unfortunately it;s hard to really see what shade of grey that either graphite/anthracite/slate grey.. are looking at them online ... so altho' I'll buy them from an online electrical company I've used in the past... I'm going to have to take a drive over to a big box store and look at the shades.. before I make the final purchase.

Builder boss said to get them delivered by Wednesday and they will fit them...
 
It was yesterday. Training and then off to ride the motorcycles. It took me about 1/2 an hour to put all my gear on, including 2 layers of long underware one of which was down filled. I felt like the Michelin Man.

Ran over to Craters of the Moon w temps in the low 40's °F, 10-20 mph wind. Pretty exciting and pretty dismal to be riding on January 15th at 5000' of elevation. Last year's first ride was 2/28.

Saw upwards of 80 swans out in the same plowed field as the other day.

Got over to Craters of the Moon @Pepper and took a couple pics at an overlook.

Here's the 900 w stock heated grips, big windshield, and aftermarket heated seat.🔥

Made 2 runs up and back down to the entrance some big sweeping turns, a few tight ones, and it's at the extreme end of 2 counties w no homes or ranches for 60 miles or more so it's definitely free of the cops so it's big fun!

Got back to my storage and saw 2 golden eagles feeding on an antelope carcass, they were close but I was unable to get pics unfortunately. Golden eagles are not abundant at all and the are huge.

I was going to go to an intro to avalanches lecture, but was too tired. I am signed up for the field work next weekend though.
