Good 56º clear sunny the stupid rooster up the hill is crowing morning!
The temps started rising yesterday:
10am 77º
11am 83º
11:15  85º
noon 91º
1:15   96º
1:45  98º

Never got any hotter after that. Looks like it might today..

Throwback Thursday:


First thing yesterday (7:45) Dude and I went to Dave and PJ's to turn on the sprinklers. We went back in a while and watered the potted plants and fed the fish. Man were they hungry! Thought they were going to jump out of the pond after the food! Their garage duo:

Today is a special birthday.. Dennis Richardson who was our Republican candidate in the governor's election. 
Sadly he lost. Right after the election the governor Kitzhaber (Kitz-blabber!), a creep, resigned because there was/is a scandal re his girlfriend (who lived with him after wife #1 and #2)) and the criminal investigation of the roll she played in his administration... I'm sure he waited until after the election to make his resignation or else Dennis would have won. The governor's spot was taken over by Kate Brown, former Secretary of State. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENNIS!
On that note of politics that sucks...
The problems we face today
are there because of the people
who work for a living are
outnumbered by those who
vote for a living.

Yep! Goodell is a jerk!

Yesterday the Trees Inc folks were here early (this outside my gate...)

and started in back where they were yesterday and the other crew went up the road back towards the BLM... trimming and trimming.

I found out that Ana was made a supervisor or foreman or whatever her title is, just yesterday! Cool Anna!!! These guys came up here in force... by 1:45 there were 5 big units and a supervisor .. bucket trucks, water tenders, and trucks with the chippers.... And then more arrived!

Suddenly a tire company truck went up the road and then here comes a supervisor....
At 3pm they all started leaving... apparently one of the rigs had a flat... the tire truck came back along with the rest of the trucks, chippers, and water tenders....




Here is Anna driving her rig...
They were all leaving and my plumber, Mike Artoff, was coming up the road.. My sink stopped up! It was a busy day for Mike but he managed to get by here. Thanks Mike!!!

Later dinner was a combo of leftover spaghetti that had mushrooms and fake crab and a bunch of fresh vegetables. Sauteé the veggies in olive oil, garlic salt, and a little white wine..




SUPER Good!!!
The moon came over my mountain about 9pm...


All I know. Nuff said. Happy TBT. Ciao.

Amazing to watch tree work. I am so looking forward to really cooking again. Since surgery its been mostly microwave and delivered drive-through.

How nice to have all those folks there cutting dead trees. Is that your property? If so I am amazed that you don't have to pay for that. On top of all that your sink stopped up? Yikes

This morning my lovely microwave has taken a dump. It makes a weird loud noise and smells weird. Good thing we have a spare in the big family room. I am now wondering if it would be cheaper to have it repaired or just buy a new one. hmmm Decisions decisions!

Carpet cleaning day!

Dinner looked yummy. Hope you stayed cool yesterday!

Yes, L, cooking is good therapy!!! xo

T, yes, all my property. They contract with the Pacific Power and remove limbs and trees that would interfere with the power lines ... ie, fall on them etc. Yes stayed cool. Closed up house and turned on ceiling fans. Didn't turn on AC until about 3pm.
