    Hi neighbor!
    The sky was blue then about 6:30 tonight, a big cloud moved in... and just before 7 pm the rain was falling. Not a lot and not for long. I am about 15 miles south of Temecula.
    SpaceX got the rocket launched just after 6. Watched it on YouTube .

    And i have some shrimp in the freezer that need to find my grill. Looks so good.

    Good Morning. Drove for the first time yesterday. Visited my cousin, she is really hurting right now. We were expecting her to be tired and we were only going to be there an hour. Ended up visiting for over two hours. The visit was good for the both of us.
    Visit to the surgeon's office went well. The PA was pleased with my progress, so i just need to keep it up.
    Today I have a handyman coming in to install two grab bars in my bathtub area. First time I have ever used a handyman. I do not trust myself to drill through bath room tiles without cracking the tiles. Went to HD and picked up the grab bars yesterday. Yesterday was my first day out wher the visit was to a place that did not have anything to do with a medical office.

    Rain, thunder, and lightning woke me up around 3-3:30 this morning. Fell back to sleep but it came down hard again before 5 so I just said the heck with it and got up. Friday, so at least we have that going for us! :pccoffee:

    Good morning!
    Rain last night was almost nothing.
    Sunny this Friday.
    Guess I turn the drip irrigation back on, welcoming Spring!

    So far so good this morning. Hope everything is ok for all, after night storms... they are the worst. We didn't have anything major last night, but it's still raining like crazy. Weather seems more iffy, last few years, and getting worse overall. Still storms raging to the south, around the OH river. Me getting less able to deal with everything doesn't help. Prep is the key.
    I may nap a bit this afternoon. Sometimes, I just run out of energy, about 1/2 way through a day.
    We found a prescription drug for my wife's cough. Of course it's very expensive, but it actually works, so worth every penny.

    You won't have any problem selling that. Anyone that knows anything about tillers knows that's a good one.

    Good Saturday Morning. Today is trim back the holly trees day. The extent of my helping is cutting up the bigger trimmings and putting them into the yard waste bag, but every little bit helps.

    Walking around the house without a cane now and starting to go up the stairs one at a time. I have not been able to climb stairs one at time with on pain for years. I am walking farther than I have in years now too.

    Watched The French Connection last night. 70's police/drama movies have changed in the last 55 years.

    Tell me about the cough. What causes it, how long a problem, etc? And what works for you now? My wife and I have been fighting a cough she's had for years. The docs never seem to think it's serious. Eventually we found something that works for us, but the medical profession only gave us clues.

    Good Morning from San Diego County. Bright and sunny at 8 am. Going to a grandson's birthday party in El Cajon (about 45 miles south). He is one of 4 grandsons from three couples. We also have two granddaughters from two other couples. I think that will do it for us. They (all 6) range in age from 4 to 14.
