Good Morning. 57° here at the 45th as we approach the first day of Meteorological fall tomorrow. Going to feel like it according to NWS. Windyand chilly 60’s at the most. Time to start putting away the summer stuff and get out the fall decorations.
My company had to cancel out as they lost power again yesterday and still wasn’t back when we talked last night. They don’t want to leave home and I don’t blame them. Second tine this week. First was storm related and this one who knows. But there was a lot of power lines damaged in the storms Tuesday down there, so probably all Interrelated. Will try to come up later before cold weather sets in. The whole thing was kind of iffy from the start, when thry had the first power outage. I haven’t started anything here as far as bakinfg or thawing stew meat anyway, so no big deal in this end.
And, as to the saga of the AC, I gave it away. Wasn’t in mood to mess with it and if I had to have somebody come out, would have cost about half the price of a new one just for service call. So advertised it on our local community FB page and a nice gentleman picked it up this morning already. Turns out he’s a master plumber, but said it could be in the evaporator system, so I wouldn’t have been able to do anything anyway. AC season is over anyway. We can still have a hot day here and there, but not long enough to bother with dragging out AC. More likely be turning on the heat.
Judy, here’s latest on Jasper. Looking at all the pictures, the fact the residents aren’t really back and considerable fire damage in the park, I think you should just forget going up there. Some campgrounds are destroyed or damaged as are a lot of businesses. They are suggesting that visitors wait for another time to visit. https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ab/jasper ... t-wildfire
For those of us who have been there, these pictures are a sad sight to look through. Now looks like at least half the town has either been damaged or destroyed.
Anne, love that house and I really think OR would be a great place for you to relocate. Even if not that place, some other one. Keep in mind, as we get older, big house and yard require more work and how much space does one really need. But yes, go take a look and snoop around a bit. You don’t have anything pressing to do except stay inside cause it’s too hot. Joe would love a change of scenery and a chance to get out where he doesn’t have to deal with hot ground under his paws O’Sharon, I hear ya on dirt wet roads. One of the ones we walk on is dirt and I try to avoid it after heavy rain. Being Sandy though, it soaks in pretty quick, so we can walk it usually, just avoiding the puddles. In the spring it’s a muddy mess till the frost is out of the ground completely. That’s when we stay off.
So, since my weekend is free, guess I will go blow the fallen dried leaves and acorns off the POA walkng/bike path and then thinking I might run up to Menards and get the edging blocks for around my flowerbed at the flagpole. Dug it up the other day, now want to move some of the flowers around a bit and add more for next year. Give them a chance to get their roots down in before their long winters nap. So, with that, I will bid you goodbye and have a great day.
