pot roast, humidity

Finally finished the pot roast....well, it made five suppers and one lunch....and it's twin is in the freezer, for some other day.....I guess if there were a family of five eating, it would have made one dinner? And it's twin was free, on the two for one deal? Whatever, it's done.....and, looking at the local weather thing online, the temp is 93 degrees F, but the humidity is only 37%, instead of the 97% it was for like nine weeks or something.....this is much more comfortable, even though the thermometer is up there, it's pleasant inside with windows open, and no AC running for days now.....but what will the hurricane bring over the Labor Day Weekend? I can remember in Escondido in the Fall with the Santa Ana blowing and they would say the humidity was 7% or something like that? Scary.....things just burst into flame at a mere thought.....but it's a dry heat! Football is starting this weekend, it should be getting cooler pretty quick?

today is forecast to be

nearly the same.....as yesterday......the weather service shows a clear insight into my life situation....last night I utilized some frozen product to fix sweet-and-sour chicken chow mein.....wasn't too bad.....I've still got more of that pot roast to eat up, and it's almost grocery day again.....just heard the mailbox, so there should be the Tuesday ads there, including the weekly sales flyer for Bi-Lo.....sometimes I can get an idea or two from that.....the rest of the ads are the same every week.....2 things for life insurance, two things for TV services, pizza coupons, and pay-day loan offers.....and maybe something about hearing aids.....I used the last egg this morning, and opened a new carton of orange juice.....I hear a train a'comin'......

63

this morning....so I got out and cut the grass, front and back.....took 'til ten.....there are more tree limbs that need pruning out back, along the fence....if the mornings remain nice and cool, I'll work on that some this week.....the Sunday paper yesterday had a ton of Labor Day ads.....so what? Who has discretionary dollars? But I guess the ad volume is a good sign for the newspapers.....though they continue to struggle....the silly Greenville News wants you to buy an online subscription if you want to read their website .....who's going to do that?

mostly cloudy

lazy Sunday morning....well, every day is lazy at this address I guess....the Padres lost last night, the first time I caught one of their games in months....well, since some time in July maybe, when they were at Atlanta and they showed a game on SportsSouth I think.....Clinton High won their season opener football game, which had been delayed by a thunder storm from Friday to Saturday.....I didn't feel like cooking yesterday at supper time, so I just had a cold pot roast sandwich on half a wheat roll, with the last of my Fritos, and the merlot. Pot roast sandwich is a good thing.....rye bread french toast for Sunday breakfast, with the batter of apple juice and egg.....

Chargers and Saints

last night.....first half was pretty interesting, but I went to bed at half-time.....just as well, the Chargers lost.....the Red Devils opener got rained out, they will play tonight instead, at Newberry....Laurens lost in double overtime to BHP, Belton -Honea Path.....looks like there's a Padres game on TV this afternoon, maybe I'll watch some of that.....already done my walking today, and considered doing some yard work because it's nice out, but said to heck with it....did start some laundry.....the AAA magazine came this morning, and it had an article about Folly Beach, where Cindy and Matt (and Addie and Edson) went for vacation.....sounds like a nice place.....of course the AAA magazine has lots of stuff about the local mountains too, the NC mountains.....there's like casinos and full-blown amusement parks and etc....but I'd have to work up the energy and justify the money before I go anywhere....it's so easy just staying here and sitting on the front porch....and this way I know I'll have a comfortable bed and a good breakfast....

pleasant weather continues

don't even need the ceiling fans today, so far....after the park walk I mopped the kitchen and then took a shower and then went to the drugstore because I forgot to get the low-dose aspirin the other day at the grocery store. CVS is cheaper on the aspirin.....for lunch I'm going to fix a half a wurst on half a whole wheat sandwich roll, with grilled kraut and some deli honey mustard, and a pickle and a pepper and a glass of merlot....how about that? The pot roast came out beyond perfect....and that will be supper again today I guess.....breakfast was oatmeal with raisins and half-and-half, OJ, and black tea.....Saturday breakfast will be poached egg on rye toast with OJ and black french roast......our eggs are NOT from Ohio....to the best of my knowledge, they are from the next county over.....

lunch report

grilled swiss on rye with a little cole slaw, and a glass of merlot imported from Chile....the climate in southern Chile is a lot like the climate in northern California, good for vineyards.....clouds and breeze coming and going enough this morning to keep things comfortable....pot roast aroma towards the rear of the house.....
