Happy May to all. For many I know May means the start of summer over spring although back in the 'old area' of California much of the plants were already starting to go summer dry and brown by now and there would have already been 80 degree days for a while. I recall Memorial Day weekend was often about the time of the first 90 degree days.
Here in Idaho we've had a couple of low 70's days a couple of weeks ago but mainly its still no warmer than mid 50's to 60's. With acclimation to the cooler temps of spring even 70 can feel hot right now. But with the rain the past week green, everything is green, green, green or starting to bloom as my allergies can attest. I'm going around looking like I'm crying much of the time lately with my eyes watering so much. Stacy doesn't get so much the watery eyes as she gets the sneezes and sinus headaches. There's always a trade off right? A nicer area to live and more allergy problems!
Daughter Sandy and her husband found a new apartment to move to at the end of the month. Looks pretty nice in the on-line info she'd sent. Kind of like a condo in arrangement downstairs entry and upstairs bedrooms. Their one bedroom was just too small and since the whole facility had been sold the management has fallen short on repairs and problems yet the rental rates kept going up.
Son Sean told me during the week that his company contract has been renewed for another five years so he's secure for the moment even with the overall economy still down the tubes. He's still a unit supervisor and has been for the last few years now, we're pretty proud of him.
Haven't heard much from Laura lately although she apparently gets a kick out of all the surveys and questionnaires on FaceBook. I don't go on the site all the time usually once a week or two I'll take a look. When I checked it out yesterday most everything on it was something different Laura was trying and 'what did I think?'
Well I'm not interested enough in things like what kind of fish would I like to be, who's my favorite movie star or what my favorite color says about me enough to try any of them but she's been busy!
This weekend? Stacy will be sewing with her friends tomorrow, I'll be changing oil in the vehicles. Worked on my Gold Wing last weekend as the thermostat in one of the two radiators was leaking coolant pretty bad when the pressure would build, so I replaced it and since to replace the sensor you have to drain the coolant out I changed that and the engine oil and filter as well. Still need to change the oil in Stacy's Shadow motorcycle and buy batteries for our Dodge truck. $75 bucks each even at Wal-Mart and the truck takes two of them!
In about two or three weeks I'll have to start mowing again and get the sprayer on the quad to spray the weeds. I'm trying to wait till it's not supposed to rain for a while to do the weed spraying. It is supposed to be rainy by Sunday as well as Tuesday to Thursday next week. Might be able to get a short motorcycle or top down convertible drive in tomorrow for some photos, have to see!
Oh well, that's the update for this May day!
