Tha Cayman Islands is still in the hurricane spiral, even though the current storm, Helene, isn’t a hurricane and isn’t close to us.

Hurricane Beryl went by as a category 5 hurricane and Cayman hardly felt any effects at all. Tropical storm Helene wasn’t yet a named storm, wasn’t very close, and has been moving away since it began and we’re still getting howling wind and driving rain from it.

You never can tell what’s going on with the storms these days.

I’m headed back to work this morning, still stormy, screamingly windy and raining, probably worse than yesterday. I’m glad, yesterday was boring, depressing and lonely. I didn’t leave the house, except for the dog walks.

Oh well, have a good day!

work just called and gave us the day off. I was literally ready to walk out the door to head into work. Airport closed!

Stay Dry!

Schools are closed today, Conditions are expected to deteriorate throughout the day. Come on rain! We need it! The wind has already knocked over some of my bananas. The plants seem to be falling easily these days.

A locksmith unstuck the key Friday. Took the lock out of the steering column and disassembled it. I’m glad that’s behind me.

I used to have chickens stealing cat food, now I have a problem with ants. They fill the cat food bowl before the cats can even eat it. Requires immediate action.

Here’s a picture of a moth in my downstairs:

Happy Monday! Have a great week!

The key for my new car was one of those big old fat keys with buttons on it and whatnot. I like an old fashioned key that fits on my keychain. Also then I can put a spare key in my wallet.

Yesterday, I went to the hardware store and had a key made for my new car. When I was tested the new key it wouldn’t start and a key icon came on on the dashboard. Referring to the owner’s manual, the key is required to have the electronics in the big old black box on the key.

When I tried to take the locksmith key out of the ignition, it wouldn’t push in to go over to the lock position to come out. So I can’t get it out.

I suppose I might have to have the vehicle towed to the dealer to get the locksmith key taken out.

And of course it’s a Friday, so I doubt I’ll be driving my new car until next week. Rereading it above doesn’t sound like I’m as as stupid as I feel

At least I still have the van!

Have a good weekend!

Yesterday I got the Suzuki signed over to me and it’s officially mine. I was planning on driving the van to work today and get my stuff out and have a mobile car wash come clean it, but this morning I want to drive the new one…

Obviously, I cannot drive it today, because the cats are already using it!.

Lookin’ like it ought to be a good day!

Its Wednesday , didn’t post yesterday. I started to, but delayed, then had technical difficulties.

below is a roof shot from yesterday . It keeps almost raining but seldom does. (Unless I need to mow grass)

I should be picking up the new vehicle today. I thought I’d be cool, waiting, but I’m eager and excited. It’s making time move really slow this week… Wasn’t yesterday Thursday?

Have a great day!

this weekend on mow the yard, which was very wet and thick. It was very difficult to mow. When I woke up Sunday I was quite sore from mowing the yard.

Sunday I started cleaning out my store room, the room under the stairs downstairs. It is quite a daunting task. I have a lot more to go.

I still feel quite sore in the muscles today. Weak.

I made the decision to purchase the Suzuki. I will transfer the money this week and probably have it by Wednesday.

Have a great week

i went back and looked at that Suzuki again. I’m pretty interested. The drawback is that it doesn’t have the electronics package, (Smart play Pro +), and a dent on the front bumper.

This is the third Jimny I’ve looked at, and you know what they say, Third Time’s The Charm!

There’s a blue one I’m going to go look at today. BlIt has the electronics, but it has a smaller engine.. it’s not going to work with a smaller engine.

Happy Friday !

I went and looked at another Suzuki Jimny yesterday. This one didn’t have a lot of the electronic options like the first two did. And it was a 2022, being sold by an individual, instead of someone who’s just trying to make money importing vehicles and increasing the price..

I might go look at it again today…

in the bedroom, I have a clock with big red numbers. When I wake up I look what time it is. When I was visiting the US, the spare bedroom at my mother’s house didn’t have any clock in it. Without my glasses, I cannot see my watch. It was interesting sleeping with no clock, waking up wondering what time it was, but being too lazy to go look I’m picking up my phone, or putting on my glasses.

this reminds me of an article I may or may not have read a long time ago about counting down, and calculating how much time I have left to sleep. For example, wake up, look at the clock, and say “oh goody four more hours before I have to get up!” Or looking at the clock saying “oh crap, the alarm is going to go off in 5 minutes.”

I considered buying a clock to leave in that bedroom, but decided to observe the phenomenon of sleeping without a clock. I don’t really have an opinion either way. I find that I got up at about the same time with or without the clock in the room or knowing what time it was.

Another thing I did, was to calculate the time difference back home. For example when it’s 7:00 I say oh it’s only six back home. This may or may not be beneficial.

Anyway, this is kind of a pointless post today just something on my mind. Rambling.

have a great day!
