Good morning..

Sunny with a temp of 64° heading towards the 80's, then tomorrow rain :thumbup: .
The technician is to come today to put the new modem in, now I can retire the turtle that was delivering my messages. I hoppe the new package now with unlimited internet works out. They are precise on the time he will be here.....between 8 -5 :2funny:  That's ok lots to do here .

Rick , it seems we have two temps, freeze and fry. Hope your area is a little cooler today.

OLM, the log splitter is a Yardworks, son put it up on a stand that you can move about and he installed a foot pedal leaving your hands free when you are splitting the block. It has a two way splitter or you can chnge to a 4 way. Sure beats the ax!

Better get dressed, don't wish to be caught in pj's!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

We're starting at 7:00 O;clock at 82°, but it's not supposed to reach the 100 we had the prior two days. I dread my electric bill this month - with the A/C's running

Just talked with Jane, her computer is misbehaving but she will be back as soon as she can.

Rick, small price to pay for your comfort. Ours will be high also but I am enjoying the cool and so is everyone else.

Good morning Amy, Rick and all!
I'm joining you after my morning's wood cutting. I wanted to get it done while it was cooler. Our high today is 76°F, not hot, if I'm not doing manual labor. I over heat myself🥵. It will be 90°F next week. I'm not looking forward to it. Glad you all have A/C! I have A/C, on solars. In the RV, its loud!!! I've been looking at a mini split for the tiny house. They're supposed to be quieter.

Amy, thank you for the make of your splitter. I looked it up. Nice model; looks just the right size!

Good morning, Last night the rains came and will occur off and on until July first. It's 61 presently with an expected high of 70.

Many of the larger fires, such as the Gilmore Trail one on the edge of town, have stopped their forward movement, but we'll need more of the steady rain to demobilize it.

The people cutting into the wall, exposing pipes, have been at it since eight, and it looks as if my apartment will be up in the second week of July.

Good Afternoon;

I was thinking of, but couldn't recall, a saying about your head in a basket and that's what inspired me to make that graphic.

As Bubble is unfortunately occupied, I'm stepping back in for some PSP graphics.

Here goes....

Good morning.
We get a bit of reprieve today..with the possibilities of rain. Temp is 61 0176 can live with that! :thumbup:

A trip into town to pick up a few things then home to finish making chicken soup. Not sure what else I will get into????

Patricia, I was trying to get a head but now see where it went. Love your work that you posted in Card Shoppe....don't stop!

better scoot.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning!
Its 53°F, sunny, with clouds on the horizon.

I want to follow up on my indoor bug zapper. It rarely makes any noise, or obviously zaps anything like the outside ones do, however I have not had a night time mosquito plaguing me yet. We have had mosquito hatches, and they hound me through the screens in the evening. Occasionally I hear a whining wind up, then it quits. I'm assuming thats when its incinerating a bug. It glows purple and is an effective night light. I'm quite pleased with it.

Today, like yesterday, more wood cutting. More laundry.

I am back!
Finally there is a ceasefire - We all hope it will hold - and I had my first uninterrupted sleep for a long time. I managed to sleep for 16 hours with just 'nature calls' that barely disturbed that sleep.
It is astonishing to realize how the body was stressed while I thought I was taking things quietly.

Our town did not suffer any damage but our phones kept blaring alerts day and night, to make us run to shelters.

This building has an underground shelter, but the lift stop at the lobby and not lower down.  These steps cannot be managed in my wheel chair, so that I was sheltering in the staircase with my transistor and my cellphone.

All is well now, we are back to normal! I am going to read all the post I have missed. 

JaneS

ok. Here we go again. This is a try!!  I miss being here every day but I still can't get there on line. Daughter Cathy might be here later and maybe she can figure it out.

I read everything so I'm all caught up with you all!  I miss my on line time with all of you and I wish you well and I hope this posts!!

Bubble, Jane, I'm echoing Amy; Good to see you both!

Rick, I remembered the saying, although it doesn't quite fit the graphic I turned it into, It was hell in a handbasket.

Bubble it was so nice to see your posts, and not being able to rest, and worrying can really do a number on one's system!

OLM, do you ever sit back with a cup of soothing tea and a good book, even for a moment?

Amy, I really need to do a Shepard slash basket graphic for you!

Jane, small steps, but we're glad to see each one.

It's presently 57 and still raining from last night, another high of only 70 so the heat has moved on, and I hope the cooler temperatures and rain will have an effect on the fires.

Last night, the closest one was only eight miles from the city, but it was alarming to see one in the suburbs with evacuations. We have five fires out according to the Alaska Wildfires current info page, but the one at the city limits gun range is still staffed.

Unfortunately, now they're saying the eighties will return on the first.

OnLonelyMountain

Hey Patricia,
8 miles, Yikes! Very stressful!

Yes, I do. I just finished 2 Agatha Christie collections a couple of weeks ago. I devour research papers. I don't drink tea, but do drink herbal decoctions, commonly called "herbal teas." I have limited energy due to fibromyalgia. So I work until I can't, then rest. While I rest my body I feed my mind, and often do handwork.

I get lonely and/or bored living in solitary confinement. I've been living in isolation for 14 years. Doing stuff helps my mental health. The winter before this one, before I could get up to the mountain, and while I was forced to stay inside the RV (except for pottying the dogs 2x/day) I turned the dead space under my refrigerator into a pan cupboard with 2 pull out shelves and horizontal tambour doors. The project kept me from going stir crazy, as well as increasing storage.😁 I usually spend 2 months "incarcerated" there, with very little cell or internet access. Sometimes none. With that much forced inactivity when I get the chance to do things, I take advantage of it.
