Good morning, meet and greets, morning routine, feeding Farrah and making coffee was all done to the sound of drills. Yesterday, they finished my apartment but today, no water usage until five PM, as they're working across the hall and on the apartment below me. After that, they'll be too far from my pipes to affect any of my water usage.
Last night, I set the coffee pot for today, made up a few ready to heat meals and besides my water bottles and Britta, I tried to anticipate and clean anything I could, so there would be less for today. It's surprising how we're used to always having water at hand. Farrah spent yesterday confined to the bedroom, but just in case, she remained between the bed and the wall until the men left. While she tolerates women with a wary eye, she still remembers that it was a man who abused her. Today, she's on her perch, watching the pigeons canoodling on my balcony.
I repotted my new cactus group last night in the special cacti soil, I bought on Tuesday, and this morning they're already spread out and look a few inches taller. They'd been sold in one of those six inch pots, and I transferred them all to an 11-inch pot.
After the construction crew leaves for today, I'll do the same to the heart shaped philodendron I bought with the cactus, in my regular soil. I have a large plant, a couple of feet tall, that looks like a heart shaped philodendron, on speed. No one seems to know what it is, and I can't find it in my plant books or online.
Amy, we left that steady rain behind for a few days and heading back up until the 21st, when we'll have another week of rain. The skies are blue and cleared of smoke, so the rain must have helped with the fires surrounding us, or sent the smoke in another direction. I looked at the Forestry information page just now, not much has changed, evidently, there are six still burning within twenty miles, and we are still at a Preparedness Level 5.
I know we live in a huge boreal or taiga forest that covers over 175,000 miles, so fires aren't exactly unknown during summer, but climate change and heat lightening have made it worse.
Amy, have you talked to Jane to see how she's doing, or any progress on a new computer?
OLM, when I read your post, it brings me back to my childhood days at our cabin up the Salcha river. Our cabin was built on stilts on a treed foothill as the rivers flows through and around several of them. The Interior is a plain surrounded by forested foothills and three mountain ranges. The only mountain taller than those ranges is Everest, and only because it sits at a higher elevation.
While looking that up, Everest isn't even the tallest. That honor belongs to Ecuador's Chimborazo.
"Basically, since Earth isn't flat, it bulges outward at the equator and flattens near the poles.
This means that mountains near the equator are technically higher than those in other areas, and it just so happens that Chimborazo is almost smack-dab on our planet's waistline, while Everest is 28 degrees north."

Quote from: RAMMEL on July 10, 2025, 10:21:32 PMDoes anyone remember Marty From Miami from SeniorNet? I have a copy of a series of his posts called "Marty's Radio Days". I just read it again, and if anyone remembers him and wants a copy, let me know.
I can't believe you still have that and yes, it's something I'd love to have!

Soda Shoppe / Re: Soda Shoppe July 1 , ...
Last post by OnLonelyMountain - July 11, 2025, 09:34:19 AMGood morning Amy and all,Yesterday was perfect, 76°F breezy, partly cloudy. Today is expected to be + 6°. The widow maker did not come down. Ron suggested throwing a rope around it and pulling it out. I could do that, if I could throw a rope worth beans.
He thought he may come today. Most likely later. Its cool enough now I'm going out to do filthy, grubby things like cleaning the forest and cutting up more blow downs, or pushed overs. Have a great day everybody! Love yourself and love others. 🥰

Here is another of the British Invasion era that I liked.

I remember them. They visited the Harrisburg area sometime in the sixties. For a while I was friends with a gal whose dad ran the local radio station in Carlisle. She interviewed them for the station. As I recall she was not very impressed by their attitudes, but I might be confusing that with the Rolling Stones when they were here.

Good morning..
Going to be another uncomfortable day outside.A/C is our best friend in this heat! Work inside today and gather up "stuff" to take to Habitat for Humanity.
Patricia, any cool weather you can share?
Rick, yes we did complain and want warmer weather I said warmer......not hot! Guess we should be thankful for what we do get and not what others have had to deal with.
Phyllis, salads work for meals and your baked custard for dessert.
Enjoy your day and stay safe.
