Housepets!

Actually today I am pleased to report that I no longer feel like I want to throw myself in front of a train! I feel a lot better now! I don't know what it was! Let's just hope it stays that way.

Thats great news! good to hear it!

And today I did a bit of walking and grinding to get ready for EVO. I'm fairly excited about it this year.

Hope things continue to be good for you, Dayzee.

How about you Trekkie? Good day?

Right now I'm trying to combat this awful humidity that we have here.

Know the feeling, Dayzee. It is nasty humid here too.

Yes, thank you.

How are you doing today?

Combat humidity? Boy do I know that. I live in a town that's like constantly 80 percent humidity or higher.


And the day just started so I think alright.

Did some good exercise yesterday, so now it's time for recovery mode so my muscles can get those gains. They're kinda sore, but not intolerably so. One thing I do need to do today is clean out the pantry of all of the old stuff that I was going to eat/use to cook but never got around to it. Feel bad for all that food that went to waste, but having it only filled with essential stuff that will get eaten/used will be much more satisfying.

Good on you friend. I hope you get the gains you want and the food doesn't end up going to waste. I haven't decided to do anything terribly productive, just catch up on a show or two and mess with some sounds.

Right now I'm participating on a soap opera discussion forum to voice my opinions and see what everybody else thinks.

What show?

"Days of our Lives". I have been watching it on and off since I was 11 years old. So that is 16 years of watching it on and off.

Thats one of the shows with like, close to 5k episodes yeah?

Zoom meetings. Maybe go out for ice cream today.

Ooh. What kind of icecream?

Coffee Oreo, one of life's little indulgences ... maybe a Sam Adam's on the side.

Coffee oreo? That's a brand new flavor to me. Nice

That sounds good so I might end up trying that one of these days then.

Super Hero Time is in hiatus. Will continue working on my projects today.

I hope today is productive for you and your projects friend.

Planning on watching the premiere of the newest season of MasterChef which I didn't know started airing. Thank God for DVRs.

Are you much of a chef yourself? Or just enjoy the drama of the competition?

Watching Creepshow and exercising my 21st amendment rights.......

That sounds like a good time!

Gotta replace a couple of the house gutters - would you believe they're wooden and have been on the house since it was built in 1946?

That's a pretty old house. Sound like they've lasted a pretty long time though.

It's the house I was raised in, actually, Jay. We moved into it in 1953 while Dad was still in the Navy. I inherited it in 1998 and eventually, the missus and I moved back into in 2018 after I retired from the college job in Carolina. So...after all this time...the wooden gutters have kinda had it.

Wow, Things were made to last back then it seems. I'm in a relatively new house, maybe 20 years or so, and the the plumbing is starting to go to heck. And a myriad of other things that's starting to pop up here and there.

One of the gutters on the house I am in currently has gotten detached from the house and now swings around when it is very windy.

That sounds a bit dangerous.

It only swings 3 feet away and it isn't far enough to hit anything. And even if it does, it isn't really that hard or a big worry. If it hits you it will just be a super light bonk and capable of damaging anything.

Oh? Well if it only bonks then I'm sure there's not too much to worry about. As long as you think its safe.

Trying to trap chipmunks. We have a family that lives in an outside stonewall. I don't really mind the little scamps but they're starting to explore under the porch - which is a prelude to getting into the garage which is a stage before getting into the house walls. So, before they break "The Treaty" (as Mom used to say), we need to relocate them.

Good luck! Hope those guys aren't too slippery on ya.

Trying to avoid the heat a possible thunderstorms.

I just had a fast thunderstorm pass by me. Power went out for a brief moment.

Figuring out whether the blue jay that I always see in the yard behind me is a different one each time or if it is the same one.

Might be a theatre group doing shifts....

If it is actually the same one, then it has two different nesting sites. One in a tree in my neighbor's yard and the other in a tree that is growing by my old dog's pen.

Avian housing project?

Why not? Seeing as my mother always complains about how the city that we live in now is starting to become one big project so I wouldn't be too surprised.
