Thursday, ............just after noon....

The noontime 'air raid' siren/noon whistle just went off about 5 minutes ago. Can't hear it from home but it's loud and clear downtown at the office. I'm listening to XM, of course, and listening to My Friend Irma. They don't have many episodes of this show but I haven't heard this episode in quite a while. The actress that plays Irma sounds very much like a girl I used to know, and even has her logic! You have to know the show, but as written and played, she must have been one of the early really ditsy blond characters.

Not much going on, it's been spring like and much of the snow has evaporated as the temps climbed. EVERYTHING is getting green very fast! Although just about 60 right now, a couple of days ago was practically a heat wave with temps getting into low 70's! I'm guessing no more sticking snow until next fall now! When your body gets used to those much cooler temps a sudden rise like this can seem so hot and like 90 instead of 70. Here at the office the maintenance guy said he can't turn down or off the building heat so in the afternoons I'm already running my window A/C unit because it climbs to about 80 because heat rises and we're on the second floor.

Laura has been calling as grand baby Tyler has been pretty sick for much of a week. For a while it was thought he may have Pneumonia, now it is the Flu and Strep Throat instead. He's only 3! He's feeling better today according to Laura and by his next appointment on Monday, if it is the Flu, he should be feeling a lot better. We're hoping he'll be better really soon.

Sandy and Erik both ran a 5 K run last weekend in the L.A. area. We've very proud of them both, they both finished and were only about 7 minutes apart time wise. She's still working and teaching and taking lots of photos. They're giving up with the management of the apartment they've been living at for the last few years. Constant rate increases, lack of maintenance support, they've had it and are planning to move by the end of May.

Sean and Brandy are doing fine and just cruising along.

Today Stacy is at a meeting with her boss down in Coeur D' Alene. She drove the truck, I drove the Solstice today!

That's the update today! Tad

I can't say I'm on a roll just yet, but here's a new post!

So, to continue with last weeks story. In August, Stacy finally got the trailer she's been wanting all along. Yes, while I like the larger, around 28 to 30 foot or so, RVs, Stacy has kept the idea that smaller is better. Smaller can go pretty much anyplace you'd want to camp and our 5th wheel, at 34-feet long, while it can go most places, it can't go 'anyplace' due to the length. When we got the 5th wheel in July 2017, I was surprised Stacy was willing and even suggested, we go for it trading in our 33-foot travel trailer to get the Jayco. Again, the "Wildcat Maxx" was a nice travel trailer. It had made several short and two long trips in the almost two years we'd owned it. We lucked out as in an era of the rapid assembly to make the crazy sales numbers the RV industry has been having, the Wildcat was "completed on a Wednesday by happy Amish at the factory" as we didn't have any of the build issues I still read about from the appar...

So, Winter Decided It Wasn't Done Quite Yet Around Here!

After last weeks post of me talking about the somewhat short winter so far, it got cold! I mean really cold over the weekend, like two mornings with the lows of +8 (-13C) and +9 (-12C) and 'highs' around 25 (-3C). No one I had talked with thought it would be that THAT cold again this season! Then last night, 02/13/18, there had been a "Winter Storm Watch" issued for the time period of 10 PM Tuesday to 12 noon Wednesday for "up to" 11 inches of snow. Luckily, we didn't get anything near that with about 4 inches overnight and the snow stopped around 10 am and warmed into the mid-30s during the day so what had fallen had begun to melt, clearing off the roads and walkways but staying on the grass. However, for its last blast, we still could get a few more inches of accumulation between now and next Sunday the 18th. Then, the long-term forecast has the daytime temps going back into the mid to upper 30s again in about a week. We'll see! On Monday t...

I Must Agree, 2020 Is The Year That Isn't.

 I know there are many, many people feeling along those lines.  Luckily, our area has yet to experience a large spike. Even in this rural area, the virus has made it here too. As mentioned before, most of the state cases are in the heavily populated south end of the state but there is still a count of over 38,000 positive and 451-deaths in the state.  As of this post, there has been one confirmed death of a 70-year old male, and there are currently 56-cases in this county. The most recent cases are high school sports students as schools opened on September 8th and at the last minute decided to go back to all 'in-person' classes even with all the preparations of having 'hybrid' classes of 2-days a week at school, 2-days a week online, and rotating to keep the student count down to the advised numbers to limit exposure. Our area schools are all on a 4-day week and have been for many years.  However, with those kids, are also over 65 other students who were identified w...
