Good morning. 39 in Carolina and suspected to get warmer later. For the past coupla days, I have been pain free, so think I will cancel the tests unless it comes back.
Here's one for you auld timers. Does anyone remember Elvin Pelvin from the late 50s?
For now.... Everyone take care

blownout cylinderI spent most of my afternoon yesterday trying to find a simple screwdriver--it was not where I thought it would be--in a toolbox--but I did find it--in a drawer by the bed Why I put it there I will never know
The rain came through after dark, and we just missed a frost by about 0.1 degrees this morning. The paper says Indian Summer is about to end, though. We'll just have to be thankful that we've gotten as much as a reprieve as we have.
On to the day's activities!

Tom.....I did not remember that name, but I see he {the name}, was associated with the former {50's}, Sgt. Bilko program.
Our morning here is mostly sunny with some high thin clouds. Rather a cool morning, but to "warm" a bit by this afternoon, and as soon as it does, the John deere and I will attack leaves. {and grass}.

You got it right on round 1, Mookie: Love Me Tender was Elvis' first movie. And Tom, your question: he was Joe Flynn's second in command, right? Played by Bob Hughes. In about 20 minutes, McHale's Navy will be locally on Retro TV on Channel 21.4 here in Louisville Metro area.
For lunch today, I've sliced some of the turkey from yesterday, and we have turkey open face sandwiches w/mashed taters and turkey gravy, green beans, fresh hot from the oven biscuits and dinner rolls (you get a choice of your bread).
Dessert: Yellow cake w/chocolate icing or chocolate cake w/white icing.
Our thermostat is set on 78 degrees, and I'm still feeling chilly here in the house. Need to put on a jacket and go out and collect our recycling bins from the curb.
Wishing everyone a good afternoon, take care all of you, and see you all later.
I was an Elvis fan along with Annette and Frankie and was at the right age (Annette is a year older) to enjoy all the songs & movies,
It really was a good time to be a teenager!

Quentin, you are on target. When Elvis entered the service, the guys who wrote YOU'LL NEVER GET RICH wrote in a character named Elvin Pelvin. We never saw Elvin, but he was assigned to Bilko's platoon, and on his arrival, the females caused such an uproar that the army lost three men and a tank just getting him onto Fort Baxter. Col Hall promptly transferred him, relieving Bilko of his dreams of riches. Never have forgotten that show!
Mookie I was an Elvis fan along with Annette and Frankie and was at the right age (Annette is a year older) to enjoy all the songs & movies, It really was a good time to be a teenager!
There certainly was a lot of hupla / attention /excitement, etc.....around wherever Elvis was. In my opinion, he really, honestly, put his all into his music.....and his performances showed it...!
And Jen, I too thought Annette was a gal with it all back then.....And she certainly had a terrible downturn later in life....I assume she is still living, but know not what kind of health condition she might be living with now.
When I was doing automotive test work out in Az., Jean visited me several times and we managed to get tickets for an Elvis performance up in Vegas, at the {then} International Hotel. {1970}...
It included dinner and a record package {which I still have}, and a great, all out, wild performance. It seemed he performed for about 2 hrs. without hardly a break. And we really enjoyed it. A great stage full of orchestra and backup singers.....Most of which we saw checking in earlier that afternoon.
And....10-4 Tom, on the Sgt. Bliko programs....
South Carolina's Alvin Green, who came out of nowhere to win the democratic primary for U S Senate is at it again. Mr Green who is unemployed and who has a general discharge from the army, and who is under indictment on felony obscenity charges, was ridiculed and disowned by his own party before being thoroughly whomped by the incumbent in the general election, is reportedly considering taking on Obama for the presidential election in 2012. He has apparently learned very little over the past few months. He had no campaign, fundraising was less than $5,000 and he howled like a hound dog at TV reporters who tried to interview him. He could go places in DC.

I never saw many of his movies; I did not see much of one that I went to because I kept going to sleep (I had gotten up early that morning to catch a bus in Johnson City to be back in Bristol by work time). My then fianceé (who, with her family, was visiting her grandmother in Johnson City) decided that there was no use staying for the whole movie, so we left. No, we did not marry.
I was able to get most of the leaves that have fallen in the backyard chopped up this afternoon; I think the maple has lost only about half of its crop.

Good Tuesday morning everyone. Running a tad on the late side this morning. Not due to me oversleeping, but due to ISP being messed up this morning. Kept getting "Page Cannot Be Displayed" messages, on any and all browsers. Sarah got it back working. Thank you Sarah!!
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Ceral, bacon, sausage, bagels, bear claws, and other breakfast menu faves are on the serving station. See you all sometime later this afternoon, and you all take care.
Greetings humans! Take me to your ladder.... 61 and partly cloudy in Carolina with 70 and rain promised for later. Not a whole lot to report, so thanks for breakfast and everyone have a great day.
......Overcast and quite cool and fog, started our day here. Dry still, but a possibility of some rain later.
Successfully accomplished my yard mowing / leaf mulching yesterday. John Deere and I had a good run at the final clean up of the yard for this season. Most leaves {here}, are down off the trees now.
Actually, overlapped enough to equal at least 2 or more mowings....
So this year I actually got away without bagging one bag of leaves...! All accomplished with doing the mowing / mulching bit each week for a couple of weeks, and it seems we were rather successful, and looks good. Now need rain / snow {oh no...}, for moisture next Spring for it to fully recover from our Aug. to current, draught.
Believe I remember seeing 35 on the instrument earlier this morning.
Did remember to put new batteries in the outdoor temp sending unit, so I'm good thru the Winter season.
Removed the shells from 2 doz. hard boiled eggs this morning to be "pickled" and taken to Church as a contribution to the big Thanksgiving meal Wednesday evening. Church supplies Turkey and all it's peripherals and each family brings "other" sides to the meal....it's always really great. Best noodles I've eaten anywhere...!
Produce went well this morning. We had a total of 65 people for Produce. Not quite as many for the Bread Truck. I managed to get a bag of sliced Italian bread, a box of 100% whole wheat bagels and a box of doughnut holes. In the way of produce, I brought home a couple of purple onions, 5 bananas, & 1 sweet red pepper.
The rain started right around 9 a.m., and still coming down, moderately heavy at times, otherwise a steady rain. We had Produce inside the gym.
Instead of our Tuesday Mexican Fiesta today, I decided on the following:
1. Tomato basil soup w/grilled cheese or PB&J sandwiches and garden salad
2. Cream of broccoli soup (with above mentioned sandwiches)
3. Beef stew w/baked cornbread
Everyone have a good afternoon, keep as dry and warm as possible and take care. See you all later.
#1 (gr chz) and ranch dressing.
They are talking rain/snow mix for overnite. Ugh!
Driver thought I was nuts because I have been cold all day. So I stuck my nose in his hand. Cold & Wet! Must be very, very healthy!
Played Mrs. Domestic yesterday. Curtains a lot cleaner. Paying for it today!
Meteorological prognosticators indicating precipitation for us later tonight. By the looks of the radar, they're right on the mark. It's been a good run weatherwise, though, and this coming weekend actually looks decent as well.
Got the mulch on the bulb garden out front, so that's ready for winter.
Next big outdoor projects are getting the snowblower out and putting the mower away, and Christmas decorations - which can wait until after Turkey Day.
afternoon

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Good morning from Carolina. 55 and partly clear an hour before sunrise. Since I seem the first one here, the diner is open, with the usual fare on the bar and juices or soft drinks available at the fountain.
We had some rain last night, along with some heavy weather west of us. Apparently, no damage from any of it.
I am an early riser today, since the wife and the girls are have a snoring contest. Sounds like the battle of Midway in here.....
More later. Enjoy yourselves
Good Wednesday morning. Tom, thanks so much for taking care of breakfast this morning. I appreciate the help you guys give me around here.
At 6:07, we have 43 degrees w/cloudy skies. Rain is out of here, at least until about tomorrow afternoon or evening. Then, we're to get more rain. Figures, I have my last meeting tomorrow afternoon at 1:30.
Not much happening around here this morning. The cats and I are the only ones awake and moving around. Walt is still getting his beauty rest. Sarah's working.
Everyone have a good morning, keep warm and dry and take care.
I wonder if it is "if this is Wednesday, it is snore day"? Driver is usually a very quiet sleeper, but last nite was a little on the noisy side.
Up to now, we have always had a dog or a cat and it would always rattle me for a minute to wake up to a third party snoring.
morning
cold and damp out now.have errands to run this afternoon.Tom thanks for breakfast.time to get matt on the bus.
Our morning started off a bit unusual. Everyone up, including our little pup {miniture Dachshund}, @ 11 lbs.....Getting everything started and next it's time to put "Ella" out to do her business in the yard.
I opened the patio door and out she went in a normal fashion, and while that was happening, I walked over to the west window in the family room, just to see if any more leaves came to visit us....There standing along side the house was a pretty good sized deer...! Not knowing what that might do with pup, etc....I hurried out to get to the little pup, and by that time she was chasing it around the front of the house, where we found 2 more deer.....Not sure just how many there actually was, as Jean was seeing some on the east side at about the same time....Perhap two to five...
To my surprise as I hurried around to the front of the house, and called our pup as she had chased the deer in that direction...To my surprise "Ella" came to me and we got her into the house. She is so interested in the squirrels out back near the big trees on the golf course, but these deer this morning.....that was something different for her....and us.
Although we see deer tracks here between the houses in Wintertime in the snow....They sure did surprise me and the pup this morning.
We have sunshine and a few fluffy clouds this morning, and low 40s for temp. Should be a dry day.
Carpet cleaners coming about noon, so that requires a bit of prep. And must get that accomplished.
Q - just saw a news video of a cat challenging one and then two alligators. Seems the smaller guys are more intimidating than their larger family members.
Deer get confused this time of year. We see them on our streets every so often (our pop is about 250K so not small town) Also - hunting season so what better place to hide than next to family home sans dog/cat.

Jen....I did see that news video with the cat staring down two alligators. Believe it even took a swing with a paw at one of them...!
That was really neat.
And these deer really were a surprise...but this is not the first time we've seen deer here or running down the golf course fairway.
Out here in the valley, we do not see any deer or such, but people on the benches, and others on the east side, do have to watch for deer and other quadrupeds (including an occasional big cat).
The only wild life I have observed are birds--no squirrels or other rodents (from time to time, I do have to set a mousetrap or two in the house). Several years ago, we had a duck and a drake, along with a young dog. If you were in the yard, and looking at the drake, he would behave as though you were nothing to him, but when you started away from him, he would start after you, with his head down, until you turned to look again, whereupon he would stop and say, "What, I wouldn't dream of going after you." One day, we did not see him at all, but we did find a beakin the yard. Did the young dog (not as big as he was) finish him off?
Tom, I presume, since you have said nothing about your medical situation, that you have heard nothing, either good or bad?
Bright and sunshiny this morning.
Got back home about an hour ago; went to the grocery, to do more shopping, hoping to stock up on things for next week. Trying to avoid the Thanksgiving- rush -to -the- grocery- store -people. Lines weren't too backed up, either!
Weather's not too bad out, either. A little bit of a breeze, but sun shining brightly.
Quentin, Mookie, Johnny, et. al., we don't usually seen any deer in our neighborhood. About the only wildlife we see are the mice, rats, squirrels, possums, and have seen one or two raccoons.
For this afternoon and tonight, you have a nice selection (I think) to whet your appetites:
1. Leftover soups/stew
2. Turkey (little bit left)
3. Chinese rice (beef, chicken, pork, shrimp and house with a little bit of all of the mentioned rices)
4. Tacos, burritos, Spanish rice, chimichangas, fajitatas, quesadillas
Everyone enjoy, have a good evening, take care and see you all later.
cw thanks for supper.errands are done.as far as deer we have deer,squirrels,rabbits etc come by in our back yard once in awhile.Thats what happens when you have woods for a neighbor.Time to check matts homework then its off to get things ready for work.

Oh, Quentin, I forgot ask if Ella called for the carpet cleaners.
Deggesty Oh, Quentin, I forgot ask if Ella called for the carpet cleaners.
Well Johnny, if she could have....she should have. She was a new pup to us this past Spring. She did pretty good, but a niece & nephew came up from Florida in April for the Summer...{they have purchased a small house here to use in that season}, and they too have a Dachshund pup and the two would get together quite often, and somehow they got into a spare bedroom and got a bit too active....
So it was time to try to take care of that situation. {Resolve didn't quite do it}....And the result...has been everything now back to "normal"....The white carpet in that room now has cleaned up just fine.
But since we had it done over the complete house, it required some, {more than some}, furniture moving. So glad that process is complete.
Just some of the furniture is back in place for tonight. The rest will be done tomorrow.
Good Thursday morning everyone. 44 degrees and light rain here in Louisville this morning. It is supposed to clear up sometime this afternoon.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go, and the regular breakfast menu is on the serving station.
I have a couple of large soup/stew pots on the stove, simmering for this afternoon/evening. One pot has vegetable beef soup, and the other pot minestrone soup. Today's the day (afternoon) I have my final meeting to go to. Appointment is for 1:30, but will probably leave just before or after noon, to go catch a TARC bus.
Everyone have a good day, keep dry (if you're in the rain zones) and take care.
rain here in nw ohio.going to do errands in town after a nap.matt gets to bowl as part of his afterschool program.Cw thanks for breakfast.time for bed.
