Firewood chores this morning, clean the ash from wood stove and smoke residue from the glass doors of it. i've arranged the living room (close to if not more than half the square footage of the house) so i can stack about 4 day's supply inside. We have another month or two of having it going all day, every day, except when have to let it cool enough for cleaning.
 

My computer and phone lines all crashed about 30 minutes ago..right in the middle of a conversation I was having on the phone with my primary doctor... ..Hive went down...Amazon Echo, and Goodle Home hub, all went down. and wouldn't connect again for about 20 mins...all due to the storm

When my Mac restarted the page and cursor was stuck so I couldn't use it, so I had to unplug everything from the back again.. and restart, and hope for the best.

Not a good thing for the computer to crash like that..so hopefully it won't happen again..
 

I'm waiting for it to warm up a bit...perhaps after noon....to go outdoors and start clearing the decks and driveway from the snow and ice we got yesterday. At least the sun is finally out, so hopefully that will help. The sleet and ice we got before the snow, has created a hard core of ice under everything, so it may be another day or two before it's safe to try to drive anywhere. Winter....BLAAAAH!

Did the grocery and mail thing yesterday.....was going to do that today.....but.....the blizzard forecast for last nite and today changed my mind.
I did something when i got home and in the garage, that i've never done before.
LOCKED myself out of my vehicle. :cautious:🤪😜😟😕🙁.
When it's very cold.....i use both set of keys.....leave it running while shopping and the other set are in my pocket.
When i got out, i put both sets in my purse, which i never do, got out, left my purse in the car, get it when unloading, which i usually do, but not with the keys in it.....quite often i touch the lock button by accident when i get out......it HAPPENED......LOCKED myself out......CRAP !!!!!!!
So, had to get the dealership to come over to get it unlocked.....i'm 63.....that's the first time i've ever done that.......hopefully the last.
How EMBARRASSING. They were there within a few minutes. I was surprised, they did it the old fashioned way....wire through the door window and unlatched the lock.

Because of this blizzard, will have a hard day shovelling, probably a couple days moving snow, keeping things open in the back.....about 6 inches so far.....but 60/80 nw wind. not sure how much it's snowing, hard to tell with the wind.

There is something i'm getting tired of doing besides shovelling......watching my X driving past my place several times a day. He's wearing out my front street, my side street, my back street. Get a LIFE or what.

That's all my ranting for now. 😜

I am sorry you had to go through that shocking feeling upset, of realizing you were locked out of your car, but I am very glad they came quickly. You deserve that, and no need for you to feel embarrassed about it, though I understand we just feel those things anyway. You are careful, and that is why it hasn't happened regularly, so they know that. You deserve some help, once in a while, Micka! You work very hard at everything.

I had noticed it might, and I wondered how that big storm was effecting your area, Holly.

Your thoughts and words are so kind, Kaila. THANK YOU.
 
Picked up my hormones. Yay.

Planted some flowers in to pots for my backyard viewing pleasure.
Planted zinnia seeds in my front yard, a long w/some impatience flowers.

And set out the weed n feed so my gardener can see it in the morning to spread on the lawn.
 
Made my and doggies beds, emptied dishwasher, cleaned kitchen sink and counter, took a nap, came to SF, got the mail.

Now listening and watching a concert on YouTube and waiting on a Super Deluxe Pizza and Buckeye pie slice. Should be so yummy and I plan to freeze a lot of the pizza for another time.
 
This morning, I had to unplug everything from the back of My Mac Desktop..... and try and get it to restart after a hard re-boot.. it had crashed again in the night. I didn't think I was going to be able to fix it, but thank goodness I did.*phew*....it's only a year old, so I can't afford to buy another one if this gets fried...

Got a lot of posts this morning, postman was weighed down with mail for me this morning, I thought he was giving me someone else's post for a minute.. :D .. .. and among it all was a wage slip from my old job showing they'd paid a salary into my account ( 4 years after I retired)...that was owed to me.. (I had been informed last week from them to expect it).. so I was very happy about that.. (y):p

Went out this morning to the garden to put right anything that had been upset or damaged by the storm. I was lucky, by putting everything in the barn that I felt might get damaged I saved everything from the storm..

I took all my plant pots out of the barn and hung them back up on the fence and trellises.. and replace other things in the garden too... The daffodils are just popping their heads up..despite the fact that it's freezing cold

I'm still feeling quite tired from the Booster jab on Thursday... so not really got the energy to do any hosework other than the basics.. it'll be waiting for me tomorrow...
 
Well I woke-up, that’s my standard answer when people I don’t know ask how I’m doing. So since nothing changed (I’m still on earth, same place, same time + 1 day, same thing & same body) I’m contemplating what to do – things I should & things I need to do.

So I need to make my rounds for groceries because the truck has to go into the body shop Monday for a week or two. Was hit by a deer after I just got it fixed from a wild bore hit a couple months ago. What’s the odds, for 20 years no problem then I get a new (used) truck & I’m hit twice!

Anyway, groceries is an all day event & about 95 miles of driving.

And of course think good thoughts, exercise and be good...
 
As Storm Eunice seems to have moved on, I plan to go for a walk and stop off at the supermarket on my way back. Most exciting thing today is that I have some Ray Wings (like Skate) which I have not tried before. It is now in the fridge marinating in lemon juice, white wine and a splash of vinegar. I will pan fry it later with some stir fried veg. Hopefully it's nice or I have wasted half a bottle of wine :( :)
 
I am pleased to resume scuba training today after 2 weeks off due to bad weather and my wife needing transportation. The dive shop I am affiliated with has a tall silo like water holding tank that opens at the top for divers to enter and exit. There is a large rectangular window at the base of the tank so onlookers can see in and divers can see out into the shop.

My former buoyancy control device (BCD) was back inflate, this pushed me forward and downward at the surface. I bought a jacket style BCD, with a wraparound air bladder support system that works very well for me.
The other thing is, my mask does not fit snugly on my face and continues to seep in water after clearing water from mask. I wear corrective lenses and the ones I am using now are bifocal type that moves around inside mask window. I want to replace current mask for one that incorporates grounded correctional lenses into mask window.

I’m in the market for a new car. I have fours cars for two drivers, but I don’t count the Corvette. That’s a weekender. I’m looking at a Mercedes SUV. It’s a little more than I want to pay, but I believe we should all enjoy our money. The Mercedes is on my “maybe” list, along with a GMC Terrain and a GMC Acadia.

You are a BIG vehicle man are you sure you're not from Texas?
 
More of that white stuff here and high winds.

Haven' driven my car since thumb job but now less painful and dressing is smaller so thought I might have a little trip out today.
I don't have a sled, snowshoes or other mode of snow transport so I guess I will be spending the day 'thusly'.......

Right now I am trying to accept the fact that we are still firmly in the grips of winter. Was just outside in -14F and it felt it! It has been below zero most days or nights since the beginning of January.

But otherwise, I am continuing on a drywall project in our basement family room that just keeps expanding. As I fix up one area, the surrounding areas then look bad. Now I am looking at flooring!
