🌀🌀 a real anomaly

 πŸŒ€πŸŒ€ Nov 5 and we will be 67 or so degrees

bonus

and exactly as promised. I managed to pat h the driveway

However. always howevers. I didn't cut back the asphalt [ ideal solution ]
I'm not sure that I want to be pounding or disturbing more of the driveway
The consequences are that although the ' holes ' are filled. There are low places still remaining
The remaining work is to diminish the unevenness and hope that the temporary fill that results will not wash away

we do what we can

πŸ¦ƒ OC 29

 πŸ¦ƒWalmart had a bin of turkeys 3 - 5 Kg for $ 17 
and 5 -7 Kg for $ 22
no small turkeys. thus $ 22.

M .. says these are leftover from Thanksgiving. well, we didn't do turkey on Thanksgiving
I suppose we will do it in November
Thus, we having leftovers from Thanksgiving - but not cooked yet

rain is coming and we get falling leaves and drops

summary of changes in the house

Dropped a Telco and chose a new thievery system

we no longer have a landline [ actually for 4 yrs, its been VoIP tied to the internet.] So, what the hey .... cellphone or VoIP - no difference to us

plus I have had a cellphone # here in Canada for 10 yrs. Now, Thru electronic magic
.... we ported our home ph # to a cellphone [ SIM ] 
now the phone that I carry is the house phone #
M ... keeps her cellphone #
and yesterday, we ported my ' longtime cellphone # to a backup phone '

our personal phones have talk / text and data.and hopefully my latest cellphone plan which had international calling is still the same for the ex - home phone #

the backup phone is just that, my old cellphone # but the plan is pay as you go per minute
still have answer service and we expect for a while that we will get calls on each phone by 'mistake '

if you can't keep track - no worries. Any number that you call will get us - EVENTUALLY b/c the backup phone will sit in the basement
as emergency [ separate provider, yes, two providers in case ]

alright. yes, we are paying more for phones.BUT prior to yesterday, we were paying for a landline that during this year was out of service for 4 days worth of time
cellphones that were pay as you go w/ no data outside the house

today, the sum would be $ 30 more for phones / month

BUT the new Telco has the new alarm system ' apped ' to our phone. I control arm / disarm, door open and close , garage open and close plus the thermostat from that app
