  1. Was out a bit more than an hour and a half and had to quit. The temp and bright sun got to be too much. Fortunately I accomplished what I'd hope to. Now, after a shower and lunch, I'm relaxing and hoping the building migraine doesn't become too severe. It's currently 81/27° and sunny. The sea breeze is just beginning so that should help moderate things. Tomorrow's high is forecast to be about 20° cooler than today.
  2. Gonna go out and play in the dirt ...
  3. Isn't that how the "Herd" got started ...
  4. So @Valkyrie are you effected by the governor's order that all non-essential workers stay home? I see the Governor of Illinois is issuing a similiar order.
  5. Is your mare likely to kick her hard enough to hurt or just enough to make a point of leaving her alone?
  6. Yeah, I think it was just yesterday ...

    The Graduation

    Okay, I read this before and cried and reading it again I cried. We know from Hail to the Chief just how successful Brad is in meeting his dreams but this is when he first tells someone what he wants for his future. I am so damn proud of him ... and you, because he sprang from your imagination. Thank you for gifting him to us.

    The Graduation

    Not to worry eventually you'll get the porridge to be just the right temperature. I'd have said the bed would be just right but who the hell cares if the mattress is lumpy with this bunch ...
  10. I went to Publix when they opened at 8am this morning. The first hour for older shoppers. I was greeted with "Good morning. Yes, we have toilet paper." Sadly I did not need toilet paper as there were two skids of it. I was more pleased that I could get milk. Also picked up a small bottle of Southern Comfort at the package store across the highway. Mum has been feeling a throat tickle recently, I blame it on the pollen, so has requested a hot toddy the last few nights. My bottle of very nice rye whiskey is just about gone and as it came from a small purveyor in Charleston I'm not likely to replace it soon.
  11. G'day y'all from warm, very warm and sunny SC. It's currently 75/24° with bright sunshine. I understand it's much warmer further inland, potentially record breaking. However, the temp here near the beach is being moderated by a lovely sea breeze. Ocean surface water temps are 60/16°. Because it's Spring Break the Myrtle Beach city beach has crowds of college students. They're not worried by the virus because they think themselves invincible. My understanding that today the police are dispersing them.
  12. It took more than 20 seconds but then there was more than hand washing involved ...
  13. He's pretty much already isolated ... well except for the sexy young plumber who he paid an exorbitant amount to come for a visit ... oh, and he got his ejector fixed.
  14. Well the joke was funny.
  15. What about a Cottage Pie?
  16. Where did you get a Sears catalog?
  17. Save a horse ...
  18. I have it growing on a trellis in my garden in PA. Here it is mostly growing wild in the trees along the roads. I remember one spring a few years ago driving along I95 in NC and seeing masses of it growing wild in the trees. I didn't realize what is was at first. Some of it was 40-60 feet up in the trees.
  19. We are, other than a building migraine I'm dealing with. Mum is watching the mid-day coronavirus briefing but I became frustrated with the blather and bluster and retreated to my room to rest. I took Mum's car to fill up the gas tank. Wanted to be certain we had a fully fueled back up vehicle. Other than that we're limiting our exposure. Are you and Steve well?
  20. Took our usual walk with the pup this morning. The azalea are in full bloom, a number of trees are in flower and the wisteria has begun to bloom. Nature continues it's course regardless of our troubles. Has the Earth just given us a smack-upside-the-head?
  21. Just what was the problem with your plumbing ...
  22. Better than "Go directly to jail".
