Time to jump in the shower and then it's off to the races.  Lots to do today.  Early appointment and then another around lunch time.  Frank got the Okay to start pulling weight on the broken ankle, so it's a trip to the pharmacy for some drugs for him.  Since he'll be out-and-about, it's also time to get 2017 tags for his car.

Coffee is very tasty this morning....  just starting on cup #1 from pot #2.   |^|  Have a great day folks!!!

The coffee is great this morning. Yesterday turned out to be a little rougher that expected with that wet snow turning into several inches of slush. It made it really difficult to even get the dog out.

The good thing is that this year I didn't have to lift the shovel. After last years fiasco the new cleanup crew was great.

Today it's going to be sunny but very cold. Don't know if it's going to get warm enough for any melting but at least the roads and community walkways are free of snow & ice.

Water changes are due yesterday. I've been trying to wait out the water company because in the past the water quality (high nitrates) would fluctuate but it doesn't appear like that going to happen this time. huh

Even tough there will be a different water provider for the new house, I will need to add an RO unit to be on the safe side. I need to protect the fish.

I've been here three years and the water has always been great. This issue is new and the folks at the water company were not able to answer my questions intelligently.

This is not a statewide issue. I think the locality just switched to a different source

..ah ok.....well if the water at your new place is as least stable, you'll be able to adjust accordingly just fine.... |^|

I used to be the same way Ron.  Always had 10 things going and another 10 I wanted to get going.  These last few years have really taken it out of me.

Just need to get my second wind!!!   |^|

Or maybe just let things go...in psychology therapy one time the doc told me I was wound too tight and he was afraid I was going to have a heart attack in his office...that was when I was 33...I've been trying to wind down since then, but it ain't easy, boy!..that was almost 37 years ago.... wfwf
