🥍 # 30 it is

  🥍..... ' boro is getting a wetting. Not torrential but steady. Typical, hot steamy turning to rain

Last night, the girls promised that I wouldn't have to deal w / masses of leftovers. Almost everything got ' doggy bagged ' and taken. We have a veggie tray, shrimp and rice.
The rice was my fault. I cooked it late and forgot it anyway.
Well, I love leftover rice. [ I suppose if I don't say that, it would be worse ]

OK coffee and typing. And listen to the pouring rain.

last night, warmth and rolling laughter. Stories of Leacock , a bit. Mostly, travels and work.

exercise is done. and so am I. Sunday was rail moving day [ I did try and be useful ], dug out stones and grass. Fetched tools, shucked corn and prepped the steaks. Rode shotgun on the trip to replace bolts that failed on the rails.
and yesterday on the go from 9:30 AM 

🚜 say, Hi, 29 days in

  🚜 ..... or bye ....

back in the window, sunny and the Eternal Blue. Summer warmth is settling in w / 88 F coming at you

Re furbished in the front 

The decision has been on going, we need help

Can't do it all. Shouldn't do it all. Ask for the help 
Ah. Sounds easy and it isn't. We are slowly and reluctantly wrapping our heads around the whole package

From the real world. I'm watching a ' lady pilot in Viet Nam ???? ' run her cargo boat. Crikey, it s all sub titles. She picks up rice and transport s it down river. Give me a break !. 
BUT its tranquil and a work a day job. Could I do it. In your dreams !!!!
I doubt that I could walk down the side of the boat, on the gunwales, as she does

Back to life here. Tonight we host, a finale or celebration. of the Chipotle people or the Leacock grads that come and meet  thru the year at Scarborough Town Centre from Sep 2025 to May 2026

We offer the chance and you come. 

I'm slowly learning. The gulf between what you think that you type or message and what gets interpreted. Startling and terrifying
B/c this type of interaction makes the business world. Or not 

Grand evening. Everyone helped and made the evening so simple

🚢 closing out the month

  🚢 ... that ship has sailed. Sunny and the Eternal Blue, all day

Up at the Q ' on the ' bee. big doings. I drove up w / two friends. My bassboat was outside   [ all winter ] sitting on a trolley and able to move on marine rails down and to the water then up to land 
At 4:30 PM, the bassboat was sitting on a trolley and able to move on marine rails down to the water then up to land
BUT
this was inside the boathouse .... so, the rails and trolley moved from outside where they have been for 28 years ..... and now reside in the boathouse. 4 guys and me [ doing not much ] did this work in one day

Kudo s all round.

Thank you  

🛍 27 th of Jun

  🛍 .... the ' boro report. sunny and Eternal Blue w / chance of rain very low [ I think ]

typing in the window and coffee just finished burbling

and the test is in the testing, a 7. 

I slipped out for party food. For Monday, fish sticks, veggy spring rolls and appetizers in crust.

Not the whole shebang but a start

Read a review of C14+. The keyboard was judged better than average.  Back lighting. Yes. Screen pops yes.
and some limitation of ability to run apps [ games ? ]

my exercise app, has been updated, approx 7 months ago. The Wahoo app now asks you to categorize your workout. Hard, easy ......... and add the comments to a log. I answered once but stopped at logging on.
so. today, the workout was tiring mentally. I chose between a nap and workout. I am guessing that I did the minimum but made the 35 min and the 400 Kcal, goals. Actually, I exceeded both.
Finishing w/ half a can of Kostrizter, Edel Pils. BTW there is a double dot over the ' o ' .

I await the arrival of new slippers. No, there is wear left on the current ones but I think that they smell, not nice either. I decided that washing might work BUT Amazon Prime day had 35 reduced to $ 25. Yeah, sucker here

follow up.
the day was entirely as advertised.
the coffee was at least a 7
fish sticks are tasty
slippers arrived and are magic. wide toe box, cushy insides

the neighbour lady de weeded the front ' flowerbeds ' [but there are no flowers ]. Later she will mulch. Normally, she works indoors tidying and cleaning the house. But the cleaning service comes on Monday. Thus, we offered the outside work which she had agreed dto. Her son runs a landscaping service and there was / is a chance that one of her part time jobs besides us would be landscaping. 

⮔ XXVI of VI

  ⮔ ...... the view shows muted light and a sky that is cloud. not bad for work. rain chance should be small
coffee and typing in the window seat. coffee is from the thermos, so 1 day old

today s symbol is arrows in a counter clockwise motion

 another slow day, wait, do we have fast days ???? slipped out for beverage and vitamins
what a combo.
joined another club or store program at Healthy Planet, where an attendant came over and asked if she could help
yes, please, Answered all my vitamin questions. slightly expensive products but ..... the right stuff

💸 the 2 five of jun

  💸  .... and reporting rain, overnight and a cloudy view out the window, early day for us, coffee is burbling  .... and typing to the void

I hope the brew is a winner. My morning method is to microwave a 1/4 C of water.
The coffee goes in the filter w / the hot water mixed in and waiting a bit, turn on the coffee maker.
Otherwise,  the coffee maker sends that first water thru as it is beginning to warm. Then the coffee grounds sit in lukewarm water and the first bloom is weak. 
What proof that the change works, none.

Ah, coffee is stratospheric ! 

a compromise. rather than go for a ' powerwash ' on the Duet, I opted for a ' safety reset '. Last night, frustration set in w / the Duet.
Duet was slow and glitchy [ or I was, never can tell ].
Safety reset does what - " if your device is acting up, you can use the built in system menu '

So. Better ? I'm going to say yes, b /c I'm a coward and also hoping for the best

We shall see said the Zen Master
back on the C14+ typing, and its not fair to compare. but the Duet was less troublesome after the ' safety reset '.
Important b / c it will be the backup machine til 2030. 

Interestingly, both machines were hyped as ' ARM' devices, better able to handle Chrome OS or Plus and running MediaTek Companio processors [ the cat s miaow ]. The Duet never caught on here. 
C14+ however, boasting of the MT 910 chipset, did / does.

💒 two 4 Juin

  💒 .... tea for two ... or ... twofer and yes June is slipping away.

coffee, Si senor. Typing, aussi Si Senor. outlook, beauti. Green outside and sunny and the Eternal Blue Sky 

I want to say that there has been a shift in the running of the house. not subtle but more people are coming to the house. the PSW s are here, Tues thru Fri, one hour but here. the neighbour is scheduled for 2 - 3 h on Saturday. Plus the new arrangement for weeding and mulching

and I am much more relaxed ... except, I cannot imagine ' me' relaxed. I tend to wound up more or less always. I over think and then overthink .... the overthink

a bit of grocery shopping after a pedicure - thank goodness, that guy can bend over my toes. He doesn't even hesitate, clip, clip. His eyesight is better too, right.
