Ohio Valley Weather Update

 When I went out this morning to bring in the garbage can and get the newspaper, it was actually very pleasant outside - not heavy with humidity like it has been early morning for the last week and a half. .  Highs of upper 80s seems cool compared to what we've had recently. 

Something You Don't See Every Day

 This morning, I went to get some awesome custard filled Long Johns from our favorite local donut shop, and as I was pulling into the shopping center parking lot, I for sure saw something that you don't see every day at 8:30 in the morning.  Across from the shopping center entrance is Cracker Barrel.  I had to do a double take when I saw a lot of vacant parking spaces.  I'd venture to say the parking lot for a normally busy Sunday morning was about 2/3 filled.  That is definitely something you don't see every day. 

Ohio Valley Weather Update

As I post this, the temp here is 94 degrees, with a feels like heat index of 118.  I am still thankful for our Trane a/c still going good.  There's not much relief in sight, unfortunately. 

Ohio Valley Weather Update

 Since Sunday we have been under an Extreme Heat Warning here in the Ohio Valley. Each day so far, the temps have been mid-90s with a feels-like at 100-115.  According to the weatherazzi, this will continue for another week.  The Old Man and I are thankful for our Trane a/c, keeping us comfortable. 

Update From The Compound

 Yesterday morning was crazy here.  We couldn't get a signal or anything on the TV when the Old Man turned it on at 9:00.  To make the long story short, I called Spectrum and they said to unplug the HDMI cord from the cable box and the TV and switch the ends when I plugged them back in. Easier said than done. To get to the HDMI port on the back of the TV you would have have to stand on your head. I truied every way I could but couldn't get it in.,  All of our handy neighbors were at work, so I called our long-time friend up the road and he was down here in 5 minutes.  After he got the cord plugged in, we spent 15 minutes fooling with the cable box and remote, but finally got it going.  You know I breathed a big sigh of relief this morning when the Old Man turned the TV on and it was all good.  It's things like that that drive me crazy.  

Another What A Week Update

 Yesterday morning started out bad but it turned around in the afternoon.  The Old Man was finishing his breakfast and then the power went off.  At least he had breakfast and we both had hot coffee.  We made the best of it, and both just sat in our recliners and didn't do much, of course.  The power came back on around 2:00 and it was welcome.  

What A Week Update

 I was still tired today from the past three days of various appointments.  I didn't do anything today except go get some Long Johns from our new favorite local bakery.  No shame in that.
