The Good Day All Thread

Good morning all. Temperatures are more on the normal for this time of year scale today, we had 5 days of 60-70 deg but this morning is in the 30s as it should be for February.

Chrisle earthquakes were a rare and scary thing around here until about this time last year. In 2015 there were 57 within 5 miles of me...ranging from 2.0 to 3.0. I have several cracks in the ceilings and walls now.
It is a strange feeling to have the wall you are looking at shift from side to side and hear a crinkling noise come from the roof above you. Fracking is causing it but everyone getting rich off the process is denying it big time.

 

Good morning all. Our internet was down for a while this morning, it still appears to be iffy. They were apparently doing some system upgrading overnight and someone, as Randy and his IT buddies call it, spilled beer on the server. Thankfully for the time it is completely down our phone and iPad are on our cellular WiFi system so there is some connection we can use if needed.

Another money saving scheme is biting the street construction company in the b*** this week. Last summer when they were rebuilding our portion of the street the cement contractor sent some very inferior product to be used and now they are having to tear up a good portion of the other side of the first three streets they worked on and put down better quality cement. We are back to having to come and go only after they stop work for the day at 7 p.m.

I missed figured on how long the Dr. Who scarf will be, not 9 feet but more like 15.....extra length could be from me not being really picky about the stitch gauge on a scarf too

 

Good morning all. Another day of listening to street construction happening right in front of our house, but they are getting the concrete poured so maybe it will be ready to drive on by Monday.

The Dr. Who scarf is now 7 feet long, just barely into the second half of the pattern so it's gonna be about 12-13 feet long when finished and that's not counting the fringe on the ends when it's complete.

 

Good afternoon all. Breakfast at Deli News with oldest daughter, a quick trip to wander through a Half Price Books and yeah I did buy a book but it's a knitting pattern book so that doesn't count against me.....then grocery store before the 'gotta feed the Super Bowl watching crowd' shoppers had a chance to flood the store and then home to do some piddlin' little projects if we felt like it....or sit and veg out if we didn't.

Got Spring like temps coming this week with almost 80 on Thursday. I sure wish Mother Nature had asked my opinion before she ended Winter for us.

 

Good morning all. A little chilly to start the day but warming up a lot later. Too windy for me to be outside, I do not fancy having a Sinus headache for the day, so I will do laundry, a little cleaning (as little as I can get away with that, which I can since nobody else does any and if he complains I can remind him where the cleaning supplies are. He doesn't complain at all )
The forecast has a possibility of Winter showing up the last week of Feb but I am not holding my breath. We have had snow in late March in the past so maybe it's going to be a little late this year.

 

Good afternoon all! Our weather is just horrid. We have had 3 months of this wet and windy weather now and everyone is just sick of it. You can see the wear and tear on everyone's faces as the days go by. This morning we had "Storm Imogen" to contend with. While it didn't hit our area as bad as the south it was still unwelcome.
Hope your day is going better! Have a good one!

 

Good morning all. The weather here has been and will continue to be boring!! The most excitement we have is when a stray cloud skitters across the sky, but they are usually going somewhere else to meet up with friends and give somebody else rain or snow...we get the dry, sunny skies. This is not boding well for our Spring and Summer outlook.

Youngest as PT this morning on her wrist, then we go to breakfast and this evening we pick up youngest grandson to take shopping so he can get a valentine gift for his Mom.

Monday night was spent in the emergency room with oldest daughter....we think she was exhibiting symptoms of an ulcer but the ER Doc kept dismissing that and claiming it could be the flu even though she had no coming down with the flu like symptoms. He had a one track mind on that one, but she goes to her doctor this afternoon to have some tests run.
