They are actually bottle green and cream. My phone camera isn't all that good.
Today I wore them to work just to be sure that they are a good fit. As ever, they
are. Wearing green shoes means I had to go green. Robin Hood, eat your heart
out. (He wore Lincoln green.)

We are having new cameras installed in our property in Florida. These cameras are state of the art with color and night vision. There is also a 2tb hard drive that will save the video before looping. There were two break-ins the past month in the same area, so we decided to spend the extra money to get color cameras. The cops tell us that color helps them much more than black and white because they can see clothing and any vehicles that are being used much clearer. These cameras are even remotely controlled, so if I want, I can rotate the cameras to view a new position without having to remount them. My home here in Pennsylvania has more security in it than Ft. Knox. My wife is a bit paranoid. When she was in college, her and her roommate were accosted in their home (home invasion) and she has been hyper vigilant since those days.

I was thinking the same thing! Those sardines would stay on the shelf until they rot. Canned salmon I can handle (the already cleaned type), in the form of salmon patties with lots of tartar sauce. I'm not much of a fish person. Seafood yes. Lobster, crab, sea scallops...yum!
 

yesterday I got single handed grass edging shears .. they were on Sale for just £4, so I thought at that price I can't turn them down. I already have electric cordless grass edging shears.. , but sometimes they're not as precise as I'd like so these manual ones will be very handy

I have to say that you really know how to dress. I think especially the older British generation knows more about being formally or semi-formally attired than I do. It wasn’t all that long ago, I would go to the theater and people would be dressed at least wearing business casual. Today, anything goes, including jeans and a t-shirt. This Friday, my wife and I are going to see Dion in concert inside a very nice theater. Most people will probably be wearing jeans. I will be dressed in Docker slacks and a sport shirt. It wasn’t always like this, but times have changed. Going to see Dion would be a jeans and t-shirt crowd, but we’ll see. I don’t expect men to wear a jacket and tie, but going to the theater was generally considered a dressy event. Even traveling attire has turned upside down. Today, you can see younger people (mostly) dressed in shorts and a pair of slides sitting in first class on a plane.

I have never seen these. Maybe because we have someone that takes care of the property. I’ll have to ask him.

I tried fish oil capsules many years ago. They repeated on me something awful. A common complaint, it seems.

Mind sharing brand of your new cameras? I currently have Ring Spotlight cams but they are battery powered and it’s a pain to replace the batteries. I am thinking of moving them to another area and having wired cameras installed in their place.

I read that sardines and salmon are mild-flavored fish. I don't like fish, except for canned tuna. I'm with you on the lobster, crab, and sea scallops. My favorite foods of all time are lobster, Alaskan King Crab legs, and sea scallops.

Have bought so many different styles of baby gates for my dogs over the years! :)

As a puppy, my dog tried to jump over a wooden baby gate. It fell with a loud crash, and he's avoided them ever since. This is a good thing. I can block off the kitchen, or lean one against the stove or counter, and he doesn't go near it.

This is a dog who will take pots and pans from the stove, or the cooking utensil out of a pot, and I don't want him to get burned. In fact, I don't want him to do it at all. He will remove anything from a counter - since he has figured out how to stretch enough to reach things. He can move full plates and glasses of beverages from the counter and set them on the floor without spilling a drop. He then eats or drinks the contents.

I have spent a lot of time trying to outwit him. So the baby gate fiasco (from his point of view) was just a stroke of luck. I tried training him about this problem, and he will take a reward, but then goes right back to trying to eat us out of house and home.

Thank you for such a compliment, much appreciated. Whilst I love my collection of Aloha shirts, all hand crafted by my talented lady, a collar and tie just finishes off an appearance.
 
Went to a different grocery store today to get my loss leaders. Low and behold, I stopped by the butter area to check prices. They had Lucerne butter buy one got one free. It was not advertised. There was a limit of two. I paid four dollars for 2 pounds. HOORAY. I will go everyday and get some to restock the freezer.

Pot roast 3.97LB, eggs 1.99/18 count, red grapes .79LB.

Sounds like he might make a good waiter....handling without spilling.
Send him out to work. 😄😄😄.

Wooo, where do you get pot roast at that price??? The last time I bought it- and it wasn't even very good- it was around $14 for less than two pounds!!
