Either you don't live in the north or you don't leave the house in the winter. Inside, shorts. After it stays in the thirties, long pants for outside. Yep, I'm a wimp.

Yeah Pute. My Cowboys were a little pissed. We kicked that ass 43 to 3. Sent them birds back to Atlanta.
The Broncos got an ass whipping by the Eagles. Go figure. I would have thought the Broncos would have beat the Eagles. Not that it hurt my feelings. 😁

Might have to switch to long pants and hang the shorts up 'til next year, and as soon as we get 6" that sticks, the sandals get swapped out for jungle boots and socks. Yuck.

I've become a wimp in my dotage. I reserve shorts for when it is over 90F and switch from regular jeans to flannel lined jeans when the temperature falls below 50F. I do wear sandals year around, but change to solid shoes when walking in the rain and to boots for the snow.

Better move GW.....the leader of BLM is threating violence if we start arresting people again......interesting to see what happens. If the police bow down to these thugs all of our cities will be just like Portland, SF and NY. This needs to stop NOW. If it doesn't we will become a 3rd world country in months. You will need 2 shotguns and a pistol to go grocery shopping.

We would have sold out and moved already, but for Grayfox who is loath to leave her friends and family. Now at our ages, it would be a major undertaking to sell our properties, unload all of our accumulated "treasures", and move yet another time.

57F @ 84 RH, cloudy with 5 mph winds and predicted to reach 59F.

Well, todays the day for my knee surgery that I’ve been waiting for since early this year, but thwarted by the pandemic. Hopefully just to replace the UHMW wear pad and I will get to return home later yet today, but prepared to replace the whole assembly if anything is loose and spend a day or two in the hospital.

Certainly, more involved that either of my previous knee surgeries, or either of my total knee replacements, in that not only did I have to get Covid tested, but I had to spend quality time with pre-surgery review of my whole medical history, had blood panels taken twice, get clearance from a cardiac physician, go over the same medical history a second time with the hospital, and scrub daily for the last five days with Hibiclens antibacterial soap. I also had to watch a u-tube production on knee replacement with my care giver and discuss my home equipment and arrangement with a specialist.

They also insisted that I obtain a walker, where before I’ve always used crutches or a cane, as well as strongly suggesting that I pick up a “hip kit” of useful tools to assist me dressing, and a shower stool to help me bathe.

A double gorgeous day yesterday for dog walking and clearly a high percent of the population agreed with me and “Promotions Inc.”, because the sidewalks were full of others doing the same thing, requiring a lot of dodging and detouring.

GOOD LUCK I'm sure everything will be fine and we shall hear from you later today or tonight.
Just think you will have a new knee again (well sort of)
Best of Luck GW
 
Morning Misfits. Happy moanday.

@GW....good luck .... Knee replacement is as simple as changing your socks....but that is easy for me to say I'm not the one going under the knife.

@ Hopper. Yup the Cowboys righted their ship and the Broncos returned to bottom feeding.

Warm and another wind event here today. Gardening and my normal walk are on tap today. Still no snow here...record latest snow fall here is this week.....probably gonna break the record. Mid November and I am still watering outside.
 
Windy, dull, and dreary at my end of the island, but no rain or white stuff falling, so I'll take it. Still feeling lazy, but I gotta do something, even if it's wrong. Might get energetic and pick up the road. Today was garbage & recycle day, and crap always manages to blow outta people's trash.

Pute figured it out
 
Waiting for the Mason to fix the new driveway
Why the heck is no one on time anymore?
Years ago my Dad (when we had the 36ft fishing eltro boat) would tell his friends be there by 6:45 we leave the dock at 7am.
At 7am if you were not on boat we left, even if you were pulling up he would not turn around for you, hated people who were not on time,
I too am the same way now.
