    Well.
    You have options.
    Get rid of the trees.
    Make sure it doesn’t rain at your house.
    Have a helicopter hover over your house blowing the crap away.
    Climb a ladder and scoop out said crap.
    Take the gutters off.
    Just ignore everything…
    You are welcome …

    My gutter screens work great, they’re rigid and are screwed to the gutter. I have a lot of trees and have been a game changer.

    I need to look into these! I have to blow mine out 3-4 times every fall. Starting to feel a bit unsafe.

    Mmmm…my coffee tastes exceptional this beautiful morning! Hoping it starts getting up to the 50s in the mornings so we can sit on our screened porch.
    Make this a special day everybody and take care of yourselves!

    Nothing major or fancy. Just stuff to make it work better for me. Running boards, seat covers, BakFlip
    Gutters? I do it the old fashioned way...I hire one of the grandkids to keep them cleaned out. A couple of years ago I crashed a step-ladder cleaning off the roof and I had to promise my middle-aged kids I wouldn't do that any more.

    A little something every chance we get.
    :rain::notsure: Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! We can't get the big parts of the storms to bless us. We did get about 1/2" about 3 am; a camera said there was small hail for about 10 seconds. Right now, we're in 20% chance going to 50% with TStorms by noon - staring at an empty radar with blue skies outside! We'll take what we can get!

    Thanks guys, and the search was quick and over. We have a pedestal bed frame with 12 drawers under, and a center storage. Not getting rid of that - so an adjustable frame was out of the search off the bat.
    Son has a Purple that he bought online, but that's not for us. We've laid on it. And online for what I figure we needed was not for us either.
    Started at Mattress Firm, because they had the major brands. But, they didn't have anything but the most expensive out. We really didn't like anything we tried, AND, you can't adjust how they feel. And talk about "no pressure sales"; the lady just plain ignored us for a half hour after greeting us - so no questions were asked or answered. But, since you can't adjust anything here, and we want to,....
    Our Sleep Number is over 20 years old. The WIRED remote feature Liquid Crystal Displays! Remember those? Missing a few digit parts. So, we sorted through the options, picked out a new one, and here's hoping another 20 years of service. Delivery in a couple weeks.

    My heart is breaking. My beloved little buddy, my shadow, my constant companion for the past 13 years has gone blind and deaf. He cant play anymore or do any of the silly things that made him so special. I know he’s not happy and what I have to do but I can’t bring myself to do it. I can’t let go.

    Just two months ago we went out for sausage biscuits.

    It's sad, but it's not over; just different. Read about it! :fingerscrossed:
