' There'll Be a Change in the Weather '

there'll be a change in me '

Goes the lyrics
but not here

The same old , same old
Sun - mostly - and colder than normal by 6 - 10 degrees

The pest guys came and removed the one way door. The boss dude left bait station boxes to place in likely places. I'm supposed to try the furnace room. The mouseys like the warm.

Netflix: ' Fallet ' a crime series. A trigger happy Swedish cop and a over bumbling English detective are thrown to-gether. Both of their bosses can't wait to dump these two. Lovable in their own way but not team players. A murder in Sweden, has an identified Englishman as victim.
To prove that incompetence is international just watch this baby !

For the first time, while watching Epsiode 5 or some such - a window pops up on the screen  " Are you still watching ' Fallet '.
If you don't check ' YES ',  think the system shuts off.
As in, ' did you fall asleep ? '

To finish the pest control dilemma, I needed to go into the attic. The vent opening was wired shut w/caging material. But experimentation showed that somehow the duct connecting power fan to the roof vent was not connected.
The roof is high but the cross beams are about three feet off the attic floor. Thus, I was on my knees for 40 ft across the attic.
The original assessment had the vent as the entry point and if so, the duct ( plastic reinforced w/ wire )must be broken.
Unfortunately, the duct was loosely hanging at the vent in the roof top. As well, the duct was not attached at the fan either.
I went out and got aluminum tape to seal duct work.
Back into the attic.
For approximately, 45 minutes I worked in the shallow space up there. I reattached both ends and more importantly shortened the plastic duct ( by 4 ft ! ). You see, I had left extra duct in case. In case of what ? Dunno !
I came back alive and cramped. And in the house proper, ceiling drywall popped loose from my weight up there in the attic.

OK ! a job done

We still haven't heard a sound from the attic other than me.

This day was perfect for working in the attic. The temperature up there must have been in the 50 s and no wind.

play in the Sun

wearing your long underwear

Plus, I could hear the wind echoing through the trees earlier.

Netflix winner : the Zookeepers Wife
w/ Jessica Chastain
grim parts but happy ( ish  ) ending. I mean Warsaw in 1945 post - pogrom, uprising and liberation
In real life, 300 escapees hid at the zoo. 2 died after being turned in by fellow citizens

big Snowflakes

fell through the morning

41 F and raw, wind is slight

icing Sugar

sprinkled all around

Yes, the white stuff is on the ground but 

And a drop in degrees as well

On the buds, last night, an interview w/ the Pres of Soybean Growers ( U.S. ). He represents an export value of 4 B $. The announced Chinese tariff on soybeans estimated by an university economic group, to have an effect of dropping exports by 40 % and losses in dollars close to 70 %.
China imports almost a 1/3 of its soybean demand.
CORRECTION ?

On CBC online, the value quoted by the U.S. Soya Bean Growers
is  14 BILLION $
Why the discrepancy ? Cuz, I was 1/2 awake in the night
or maybe the guy represented the Western soybean growers b/c he was in Iowa

And full sun for the afternoon


Mouse Tales
Well, the pest guys come back to-morrow. They will take away the one-way door cage and re-attach the screen.
We have not heard a sound from the attic since they've been.
We have not caught a mouse in 2 weeks.
However, next door. The appraisers and adjusters were in again, to-day. The house has been vacant for 5 months. the water is off and the agents were using our washroom.
While waiting their turn, one told Margaret that the house is infested w/ mice. As in the mouseys are everywhere. 
Their opinion is that the house cannot be sold until fully de-moused.

RAW

say is all re:our weather out there

The wind did roar last night, and the ground is soaking wet

Sunny Not Too Warm

and rain is possible
and worse, the call is for snow / sleet ?????

Out of the blue, so to speak, guck will happen, likely overnight

The awful stuff held off for the daylight

On our main tube service, broadcast ( I guess ). A BBC series called " Unforgotten " highlighting a cold case unit out of London, UK. was on the last 2 Sundays, something like a mini-marathon. They are showing 4 episodes in a row.

B/c its British, if you've seen enough Brit Drama, the same actors keep appearing.  Like old home week, for devoted Brit crime followers.

The rain came w/ foul conditions. Strong winds, in fact warnings are out for power outages across the region.

We bought a mattress and box spring at Sleep Country Canada aka the Walmart of bedding in Cda.
Also, new ergo - something pillows that resist disease, stay cool and spring back to shape after being beaten to a pulp.
Plus, a mattress cover that is everything proof. Oh, tucks in very well.

We got the newbie in a week. They agreed to wait til we got the spare room ready. It means that I need to pick up and clean. The queen ( old ) mattress and spring will obliterate the room. But we'll have an extra real bed for B and M out of Akron. When they come to stay this summer.

Netflix news : I watched the " Circle ". this film could have been named < FaceBook gone berserk but can be controlled and made better. >

1990

post # 1990

Sun for us
Clouding over at 11 AM

A revelation - I've been saying the name wrong, my whole life.
Tycho Brahe  or " tie ko - o bra "

Actually , pronounced " tik - o bra - hee "

Oh well, I'd never heard but rather read the name

Health talk : I arrived home overweight ( for me ) a tad above          # 181 
Slowly, the number has fallen to #176 ( as at this morning )

The real problem : my whole life no matter what my weight ( the number ) - somebody has always said ' You need to get in shape '

I guess that there is something about the way that I look. 
Chunky looking ?
Chubby-kins ( as we use to say )
Chubby little creature was another fav

Thus, I'm looking out of shape - I'm sure

No scurrying sounds
No bodies in the traps
