Temperature Drop

Howdy!

The temperature has dropped here and were in the 50’s.  Plenty of Watches & Warnings yesterday afternoon into the night but we just got some rain out of it.  I tried to stay awake until 11p which is when all of the Watches & Warnings expired but I didn’t make it.  My weekend insomnia kicked in at 2a and I knew that today wasn’t going to be as great of a day as I wanted it to be. 

Woke up with plenty of time to spare, had breakfast at home but of course the cats got fed first.  Showered and dressed, then waited a few minutes before I had to leave.  It was just enough time to get Mora in my lap and enjoy her company for a short bit. 

I came back home after my haircut I wanted to go back to bed and that’s exactly what I did.  Got back to sleep for a bit.  Rudy woke me for lunch and I really didn’t want to get up so I fed him and then went back to bed.  I watched TV and continued to dose off. 

I got up and then Rudy had his second lunch after I ate.  I just had a Diet Coke and Cheetos.  He loves cheese anything.  I let him lick my fingers and he tries gnawing on them like they are Cheetos but they don’t crunch like one.  I think I could feed him a Cheeto and he would eat it.  I was able to enjoy a Granola Bar after washing my hands from Rudy’s slobber.  Then lunch was done. 

Grabbed up my 2 weeks worth of laundry and here I am in the basement.  Space heater on, Mora passed out in one of the chairs behind me guarding me from whatever.  Rudy is upstairs snoozing and waiting for us.  The two of them had some play time for a bit before she came down to be with me. 

Planning on heading out to Red Lobster for supper.  I did find a new place to go to it’s a Mom & Pop kind of place but it’s 53 miles away (that’s one way) and it’s on my list of places to visit.  Found it from a group I am in on social media about restaurants in the area.  Like how I found out about the buffet place.  I meant to hit up the ATM to get some cash but that didn’t happen.  It’s been on my to do list for a couple weeks.  If I am going to a Mom & Pop place I make sure to have cash because some of them don’t take credit cards and it would really suck to travel all that way to find out I can’t eat there because I don’t have cash. 

Tomorrow’s I am planning on going back to my favorite Mexican place.  So a normal weekend for me. 

Really surprised that out of the 3 folks that came to my house none of them have called back with a price on this column or roof brace.  I called one guy and left a message on Thursday.  He’s the one I want to do the work out of all of them but I need a price.  I will probably call him back on Monday.  I had to call him twice just to get the quote.  I am not one to chase after people or beg someone to take my money.  I get that this will be a pain to change out but the work needs to be done, the sooner the better.  However, it’s not like this column is going to disintegrate overnight.  I’m just looking to avoid disaster before it gives way and becomes an emergency.  Damn near every house in the neighborhood has one of these things, one of my neighbors actually has two of them but they are smaller.  One neighbor had his made out of all brick, that’s smart no maintenance or replacement work to do there.  

Looking forward to a nice trip in a few hours and some fish.  Then finding something good to watch on TV as I pass the night away.  Hope your having a great Saturday.  Take care.
