🚂 Chattanooga ....

 🚂 choo, choo

E Tec failed to start
twice

not a winner day

Sunny, brisk to stiff winds out of the N

a day out is a day out

tried a lean cuisine : sweet and sour chicken 
quoth the raven ' never more ' ala E A Poe

🚜 pulling our weight

 🚜 or close to it

a fine day folks
sunny ish b/c clouds are looming off in the distance

aha. today, is ' treat your elders well ' day
A .. and I will meet for lunch and shopping
be aware, M .. says that A .. needs this re - affirmation as much as I do
Me .... its the social
A ... its talking to someone who fishes and is willing to listen / talk about the QMH  [ repairs etc ]

🚊 growing

  🚊 groaning pains ?

Toronto is expanding its urban transport network ... the legend has it that there is a Cross Town subway hidden in plain sight
b/c you can not go anywhere fast on or near Eglinton Av.

kinda a worrisome growth on the landscape
surprise ! almost a decade late and over budget like my shopping at Giant Tiger

a friend who left T.O. to work in Alberta, commented that when he started his job in Edmonton, CrossTown construction was a headline news item

he's back and has to avoid Eglinton [ six blocks S of his home ]
he is not chuckling anymore

🎱 ... for many reasons

🎱 on this day

HOWEVER, this is  M .. s birthday day

so happy 29 th , dear
calls came in from England [ sister and then cousin ]

AND - maybe, the data storage problem is ' understandable ', now
I found recent, ' saved ' documents. TG
plus, discovered a flaw in my thinking. of course. the upshot is :
yes. found what I was looking for
and can find almost anything [ I hope ]

Computers !!! Arggh.

sary bit is - Chrome makes it easy to save documents [ Chrome Unboxed, is a dedicated Chrome YouTube channel ] Yeah ! if you have half a brain

Florida, and us. We were put off this year in Jan 2023 when host rental firm at our Sunrise place - quoted a 40 % increase for 2024. The Sunrise is on the more expensive side. Sadly, much in keeping w/ other venues on St Pete Bch, Treasure Is etc.
Surfing the web, I did find [ as you know ] an unit for rent in the Sunrise via VRBO / Houzlet, for the rental price equal to our Jan 2023 rate.
Recently, an owner, offered his unit and advice ' get out of the Houzlet contract '. 

You likely knew most of that, above. To wit. VRBO has cancelled the contract. VRBO has said that the host [ Houzlet ] has agreed to the cancellation. Houzlet has stated that the refund is in process. Do not think that ' done is done ' .Approx 7 business days from now - we shall see said the Zen Master  

And the owner of 503 has sent along a agreement document which is straight forward and reasonable.

VRBO / Houzlet asked for 1 / 2 the rent in advance [ w/ cancellation rights pre - Dec 2023 ]
Owner 503 is asking for $ 500 as a security deposit

Plus. We mentioned M .. has health problems. All the owner asked is to kept up to date w/ her status. Really, would like a month s notice if he needs to find new renters

🆎 c, d, or so .....

 🆎 ..... you would think

the day is starting sombre

for a Sunday, maybe, thats OK
quiet etc
the day blossomed w/ sun 
quite the day to get things done
