November 2019... Share YOUR day...

I spent time today updating documents pertaining to my estate matters today. I have a joint email with my son and oldest grandson in which I have documents and spreadsheets detailing what to do if I become seriously ill and when I die, what insurances and investments I have and with whom as well as my beneficiary designations. I am also going to take time this week to revise my will and living will.

Good idea OneEyed Diva. We have all our documents in a binder that is updated each time we move. What you are doing is real important. Good luck!
 
Good Evening Kids... A few hours late today... Well, yesterday I installed the thermostat for a family member, then went out to get the styrofoam, and on the way back all the fun began... Now it all started I think on Friday when I got an oil change on the truck... Well yesterday coming home, and the truck just stops and I get an oil pressure failure... The first thing I did was look at my oil dipstick.. and Hmmm doesn't seem to be much... So had her towed home, will have a better look at it tomorrow... Today I prepared the property for winter...So after breakfast tomorrow, I will jack her up, and see if everything is tight from the oil change, and go from there... Anyways, Kids, I hope YOU all have a GREAT night, and God Bless YOU all...
 
Good Morning Ladies, Gents... Well went out to the garage yesterday after breakfast with the boys. Put the computer on the truck. She came up with no issues. So I started it after checking oil, and she purred as she always did... Then one of my Buddies said, remember you have a wire on the engine somewhere when it gets wet, it causes issues... So I guess it had time to dry up in the garage, and the issue was gone. I've got to find that wire, and spray some electrical coating on it... But yup she ran perfect yesterday... So that was a BIG relief, cuz I thought I was going to be in BIG bucks for an Oil Pump... That's about all I did yesterday... Well, HOPE YOU all have a GREAT Hump Day... God Bless YOU all...

Good to hear you are doing something that you really enjoy. I am curious, what instrument are you playing? What type/kind of music do you mostly like & do? Have fun!

I play bass guitar, sing lead. We play many styles, from Rock to Reggae, Country to Jazz, Swing to Hip-Hop, Cumbias to Polkas.

I am already finding that booking private parties, where I made my living, in my younger days, may not be too easy, now. It all comes down to liability issues: In our extremely litigious society, companies and individuals have to be very careful about throwing parties where alcohol is served. There have been cases, in the last twenty years, where people have successfully sued party givers for accidents that happened involving alcohol that was served at the parties. This wasn't a factor, back in my younger days. People are opting out of the whole party giving scene. Frustrating, for me, but understandable, to an extent.

Took violin (fiddle) for 5 years when I was younger. Then won a cheap guitar at a craft show. Since then I have gone through 2 other guitars (one in Mexico). I have been at this for about 15 years. I love to play & sing: mostly 50s, 60s country, some folk & some pop such as Buddy Holly & ole' Elvis. Never electric & never heavy metal. I like music not noise.

Does your state/county have some type of low-no cost program that helps seniors with transportation and grocery shopping?

Applecruncher,I don't know because I've never looked into it. The org where I'm a member/volunteer Canopy of Neighbors does provide rides for members for shopping,dr's appts etc.The request has to be called in a week ahead of time. This was a 'spur of the moment' idea.I've had drivers take me to dr's appts couple times this summer.
 
It is now 10:37PM Eastern US time. I mention that because until the last half hour my day was going great.
But, could I leave well enough alone and just relax? Nope, not Marie. I had bought some birdseed for the feeder earlier today. So, about a half hour ago, I thought to myself..the birds come to the feeder early, so I should fill it now, as it was empty. So, I grabbed the bucket I keep my seed in, and brought over the big bag of seed, to cut open and pour into the bucket. I used to do it out on the deck, but I already brought my table in for the winter.
So, cut open bag, propped it up, to get a better handle on it to pour into the bucket. Bag fell....all over floor. Onto rug and tile!!! I yelled out some not so nice words. Grabbed broom and dust pan and swept up as much as I could..brought it out to the feeder.
Grabbed the vacuum to sweep up the rest. Decided, then to empty the vacuum. Pulled off cannister (it is a bagless vacuum} and guess what, the bottom of the canister was not latched tight. Sad thing about living alone, I could not blame someone else for that.
Again, more words. Vacuumed again.

I just hope the birds appreciate what we humans do to keep them fed in the winter time.
 
Off to the theatre today to see "Jesus Christ Superstar". I first saw it 40 odd years ago and it met with protests from some of the "Christian" community.
This time it's in the Tivoli theatre in Aberdeen. This was built in the 1880's and in it's heyday hosted all the great stars. Like many theatres, it went into decline but in recent years was rescued by a businessman who had it restored to it's former glory and it is now a very successful venture.

cleaned utility room out - so pleased with that -put on new bedding -did a wash load -the temp here today is 1 and bitterly cold

This morning when I took my early walk at 6:45,it was 30, refreshing walk
I've just come back from visiting my friend,Marcia at her house for our weekly chat.
My favorite dog Aker aka' buddy boy' was happy to see me,wagging his tail. After breakfast I took him on his 1st walk of the day, was wearing his winter coat a tad chilly outside.He was happy to sniff the snow& leaves still on the ground
 
Well my niece called me at 4:30 am this morning. She was crying and said her son had a fever of 106. She asked what she should do. I asked her if maybe something was wrong with the thermometer. She said very angrily that nothing was wrong with the thermometer and hung up on me. About 5 minutes later she called back and said her husband had just told her that when he went to get the thermometer he ran it under warm water to make sure it was clean. She took his temperature again and it was normal. So that was the beginning of my day. I think I should take a nap.
 
Gave Suzy her peanut butter filled bone I got for her and she is loving that. Just watching some Westerns on tv. Playing with the birdies. They are lots of fun how they chase each other around and chirp loudly. I love it when they fly around the room. Couldn't ask for better company than my fur and feather kids! 🐶 🐦 (y)
 
Good Morning... Trusting everyone is having a Great or pretty good weekend... Well, the truck is going to have to be towed into the garage, I do NOT know what the problem is, except I think there is a HUGE problem with it... But I can't go another week without it, so I will call the garage tomorrow...I was a happy puppy last night... My Ottawa Sens won 2 games in a row first time this year... going for 3 out of 3 on Monday... Not a lot else to report, except the snow hasn't melted, so I can it's here to stay... going to be a long winter if it is starting already... Well, I hope YOU all have a GREAT day... and God Bless All...
Mike

Went out for lunch yesterday with a friend. Beautiful, mild, sunny autumn day.

Crock of French onion soup au gratin, half sandwich of corned beef, lettuce, tomato, horseradish sauce and glass of white wine. It was so good.
