get up to 80 today?

nice so far, in the 40's for the early walk, lots of sunshine......going over to the library, see if I can find anything interesting......don't think I need anything in particular at the store while I'm out, should be good on groceries until Wednesday just eating leftovers for supper, get the fridge cleaned out before I start putting more stuff in it......should I get one of those little hams for Easter? they sell deviled eggs already made......

70, nice

the home teams in these playoffs aren't exactly coasting through the opening games......going to fix tacos and frijoles later.....had salami and pimento cheese sandwich with slaw for lunch....nutmeg french toast for breakfast.....need to take library books back in the morning Monday.......I think this warmer weather is supposed to last for a few days, before more rain comes in late in the week......

calm Sunday morning

that storm that killed 26 people across the country didn't do much to the Upstate, just some wind and rain.....and I think one tree down on a house.....the power glitched here for a second, just enough to click the surge protector.....watched some of the NBA playoffs yesterday, including Atlanta beating Orlando.....I don't like the Heat or the Magic, both those teams seem to have attitude problems......we'll see how the Lakers do this afternoon.....the anaerobic bacteria ate up the clogs in the sewer line, so it is free-flowing once again.....at least it seems so.....the sewer system around here is really old, and not designed with much fall from the house to the street, so shit happens.....

storm in the morning

started raining around 4 I think......I checked the radar before I went to get the paper and decided to drive instead of walk....correct decision: just as I came out of the store "the clouds opened up" as they say.....expect some rain on and off all morning.....area under tornado watch until 1 pm......tuna and peas on toast was a good comfort food supper.....I put some parmesan-romono in the white sauce.....one can of tuna made enough for two meals, looks like.....one piece of cake left now......today I might fix pork-n-pintos over cornbread......with onion.....not raining at the moment, but the wind is picking up again, so I bet another little bit is on the way.......

70F, fair

though some cloudiness blowing in, 90% chance of rain tonight.....I got that fallen branch sawed up and dragged to the curb.....eyeballed the trees and the angle of the satellite dish again.....I either need to hire tree trimming done every year or so.....or just go with over the air local stations and streaming movies and whatever else you can get with some kind of online device......anyway, went for my walks.....and went over to True Value and got a bottle of anaerobic sewer line cleaner.....I have to do that once a year or so, if the line to the street starts backing up.....it's worked overnight the times I've used it before.....had a bean taco for lunch.....might do the tuna and peas on toast this evening....had some pork last night with cole slaw and a piece of bread-and-butter.....still slowly working through the birthday cake.....got a Guitar Player mag in the mail today.....going to fire up the new guitar shortly, for something to do......

Junior model

loaded for delivery

that's what the UPS tracker on Amazon says about the guitar I ordered on my birthday from Musician's Friend....it shipped out of Kansas on the 12th.....so I'll have a new toy to play with sometime today.....and I've been doing Google research again this morning on the idea of dumping Dish TV and instead getting an XM radio to plug into my XM ready stereo, and then getting a Netflix device to stream via ethernet from my AT&T DSL......I figure I could save $40 a month that way.....I'd have to get a HD antenna for the local TV stations, but I found a post from a guy at the College who listed all the stations he gets over-the-air.....and I might give all that a try.....trees keep messing with my satellite reception, is another factor......warm and breezy this morning....took my walks, have pork in the crock pot with a doctored up bbq sauce blend.....got the front door open so I can watch for the UPS through the storm door.....
