Daily thread # 188

I liked the burger I ate today even better than a Big Mac.

I usually don't make comments to online forums during the morning. I usually do so in the afternoon and evening.

But here I am this morning. Should be a good day for me. Hope everyone has a fine day.

Enjoy today's weather, Karen, especially since the weather isn't supposed be so great tomorrow as well as this weekend in your neck of the woods.

Maine can get cold during the winter, Karen, although not as cold as it sometimes got when I was a teen back in the 1990s.

We had our snowstorm this morning. Not many inches but terrible visibility , icy roads and a bunch of nutso drivers. It took me 2.5 hours to get to work. I had to stop to clear my windshield wipers twice. I think this may get into my top ten terrible winter drives list, mostly because it was during rush hour.

Don't worry, Karen, I was a teen in the seventies, too. I graduated from high school in 1976 (Buena High School - thus my user name). But this was in Southern California , so no snow.

I graduated in 76 too Kathy. The years have gone by so fast.. I miss the old days too...

I remember a song that said "it never rains in southern California" from when I was a kid. Ha...

Have a good day Kathy. Have a good day all. Hey Jamie, yes numbers are over rated...

Hugs, Karen...

In 1976 I went to Washington DC for the Bicentennial with the California Cavalcade of Bands. There were over 700 students from a bunch of different high schools. I did not play an instrument but was in the pageantry squad. I carried the N in California in the parades.

Skies were clear today, but it was windy and cold.

I'm doing good today.

But tomorrow I don't have as much to do because the New England Patriots won't be playing tomorrow afternoon like they usually do on Sunday afternoons this time of year. They already played on Thursday night against the Giants.

Keep 💪. The jab does make ya a bit under the weather for a bit. Yep i op shop....our term down under and it helps me. Having a rpugh trot then the jab....double whack. Know it will pass and you will rebound. 🐢 sends many healing thoughts. HT

I need to get my flu shot soon as well.

Today I've been doing a lot of chores around the house I live in. I've cleaned the awning on the backdoor deck, cleaned up the inside of my car, and put some tires away in the shed.

And now I'm taking a break.

Wow, Mike, you got a lot done today! I started feeling better last night. This is the first time I have every had a reaction to a flu shot that I can remember. If I had one when my kids were little I probably wouldn't have known anyway, because I was always tired then!

I worked today and had enough energy when I got home to sort through my sweaters and ruthlessly get rid of about half of them (going to the Goodwill). Shoes are next on the list.

Hi All


HT. hey mate! I am being bad, and having fun doing it! Trying to be good, but it is hard at the moment.
finishing a book today. The Goldfinch, by Donna Tartt. first night at book club tomorrow at 7pm. I will bravely attend on my own. Need to change my actions to change my isolation. Hard stuff!!

I was in Wash D.C. for the 1976 bicentennial also! Graduated in 79.

I loved winter, was always outside, well I was outside all year round, so winter does not really count.

I made to the Harvest Fest. Stayed off my feet, except for caring for the dogs, until Friday night.
Sold 3 paintings and some book marks. Well done, considering the crowd was 1/2 of what was expected.

Thing is you never know who will buy what, size of crowd does not really matter.

I was wrecked on Sunday, physical limitations were pushed on a 14 hour day. Slept most of the day Sunday.

Speaking of burgers, I think I will go to a place named the Pour House, best burgers around here. I don't eat meat much, but when I do, I go there.

Peace all.
