A Normal Morning...

 

Not much going on here this morning.  I overslept.  After 2 mornings of crap for power pole replacement, I'm not surprised.  All we have today is handling trash & some errands.  That should be it.  

That's all for this morning.  Take care.

Another Short Electric Post...

 

I don't have a lot of time left this morning to do much of a post.  The electric company replacing our power pole decided to make it a 2-day job.  They seemed surprised there were rocks in the ground.  That's all this place is; red dirt & rock.  A hole that should've taken them 30 - 40 minutes, took several hours & then they decided to come back to finish up this morning.   They brought things to dig & bore, but nothing to break rock.

It should all be done soon.  I had to put off things for this & I'm still running late.  More tomorrow. take care.

Short Post Electric...

 

The electric company is going to replace our power pole this morning, so this will be short.  They'll be cutting the power for a bit.  I'll post more tomorrow.

Take care.

Maybe Not Odd Bedfellows...

 

By now most of us have heard of Grindr.  This article is about the "social networking" site & how it has acquired telehealth provider, Freddie.  Freddie specializes is providing PrEP.   They will merge this company with their own, Woodwork.  Woodwork also provides PrEP & DoxyPEP.  Besides STI prevention, Woodwork mostly focuses on; ED, muscle growth, hair restoration, weight loss & supplements.  

Maybe this makes sense.  These people are already on the app, it might be enough of a convenience to make a difference.  Still Grindr is not without a rocky history, read their wiki page.  I guess this is no different than 90s gay bars having fundraisers, awareness drives & bowls of condoms.  

It could be, this makes sense.  I wish it well.  Anything to get people to protect themselves is probably a step in the right direction.  I guess, we'll see how it goes.

Take care.

Dark 1st Of The Month...

 

We're 3 dark days into October.  So far this month is not going that great.  I'm glad we got some rain, but this gloom is doing me in.  It's so overcast my room is dark even with lights on.  The clouds have hidden the moon.  Clouds have sucked so hard these last few months.  At least are actually bringing some precipitation.  Still, there's no sunshine, stars or the moon; it's just dark, wet & muggy.

This is the beginning of the month, that means bill stuff is underway.  We'll handle it as we can.  Starting the month like this, throws things off just a bit. But, it'll get done.

That's all for now, take care.

1st Dark...

 

October certainly got the memo about the dark of the year.  It drizzled all day & stayed gloomy.  It was cooler, but also cloudy & moist.  Not a great combo.  It looks like we got about 2.5" of the 4.5" of rain this month calls average.  We missed it last month by 3".  Despite a rainy, late Spring & early Summer, this has been a really dry year.  

That's about all I have this morning.  It's dark & looks to stay that way until Monday.  I didn't handle the sudden dark well yesterday.  It sucked.

Take care.

Hello October 2026...

 

It's October, but September didn't leave without a couple of slaps.   The piece we needed to replace on the kitchen faucet isn't being as easy to find as we'd hoped.  It's still a process.   We got home to test the new aerators & they weren't great.  We went & to get another kind.  In between the trips, the trash was shredded.   The culprit, a pig.  Yes, the neighbors have a pig.  I got the trash gathered & went to get a trash can.  By the time I got back, the pig was back at it.  I called animal control.  I'm not sure what will be done about it.  True to form, it was Sucktember.

This 1st day of October we get notified there will be a planned power outage Monday for several hours in the morning.  Great, there goes my morning routine & It's going to make shopping questionable.  The pole situation had been ongoing since August.  There's been a pole in the side yard for over a month.

Wow, October's starting off just great.

Take care.
