A Successful Weekend

Posted on by

I looked up successful weekend on the internet and found this:

Nah, A successful weekend to me is coming home Friday, and not  leaving the compound till Monday
It was a windy cold cloudy weekend, perfect for staying home, which is what I did.
Saturday I got up, drank some coffee, then took a nap, and got up again, all before most people even get  up the first time. I’m kinda an overachiever like that. Sunday I took a really really good nap around noon, I don’t know how long I was out for, but it was a deep deep sleep.

Football was good yesterday, Redskins lost but there were a lot of really close games.

Now it’s a ho hum Monday. Looking forward to getting a lot done this week, not talking about work either.

That’ll do’er for today, have a good week!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving To All my American friends!

Hope you have a good day and a prosperous year! (
I plan on watching American Football on my tablet at work!)

Got off to a late start today. Alarm went off and I went back to sleep. I popped tall 35 minutes later. Oversleeping hasn’t happened in years. I had to bypass my morning exercises to get back on schedule. Now I’m ready for work on a very windy stormy day.

We have a cold front that’s stalled very near us. That usually means several days of wind and rain. Just in time for the weekend.

Again, have a wonderful day!

Wacky Wednesday

It’s a weird morning. It’s supposed to start raining this afternoon/evening, but sitting on the porch this morning I could hear rain, pretty far away, but approaching. When I looked, it looked like a beautiful Caribbean day to the south, and end of the world to the north.

This picture doesn't do justice to how bad it looked 5 minutes earlier.

(I love our utility pole, transformer and power lines right across our field of view  here)

So I rekkon I’ll be taking the car instead of the bike today, although I was thinking yesterday that I could get home after work before the rain started.

Have a good day!

Weekday Two, that’s why it’s TUEsday!

Rainy Tuesday put a serious hampering on my exercises this morning.

Although it will probably be a nice day.

My Mom wants me/us to go visit soon. The Wife has no vacation time left, I have 6 days. I’m thinking about going….

I got the contract for the real estate job. I have to sign it and pay the registration fees, Thursday is payday and I’m scheduled to take the contract and fees back then. (I always lose my warm fuzzies when it’s time to hand out the cash.) Hopefully this will grow into something that will soon replace my day job. It’s pretty exciting, but I don’t really want to work two jobs. You know me, I just want to go to the beach!

Now it’s not raining any more, and looks totally nice out. Have to check the weather app and make the scooter/car decision!

Have a good day!

Weird Weekend Weather

Weird weather  going on around here all weekend. To start off, we had this tropical depression headed upstream against the wind toward us, but it curved south and got killed over Belize. Then we had a cold  front and a stationary front move in at the same time. Second picture. Since then we’ve been stuck with an almost stationary cold front, moving back and forth over us, giving us rain and clouds all weekend.  And strong winds at times. Where the low is in the above picture,the wind is making a circular pattern, like a depression or a hurricane forming.

And this morning, below

image

The depression/hurricane forming is much stronger looking, although the front is moving south more and HOPEFULLY we’ll get less rain and maybe even some sun.

Just in time for the work week….

Change of Plan (Hopefully)

See that gray cone on this picture? That’s a tropical depression,  9 I think. Yesterday the cone showed the storm coming straight at us, now it’s cruising more over land, which weakens it, which is good.

Yesterday was not as rainy as I expected which is good, tomorrow is Friday, which is also good, so things are looking pretty good! I vowed to swim at lunch rain or shine anyway….

Have a good Thursday!

Red Sky In Morning…

…Sailor take warning.
I haven’t rode my  scooter since last Friday. Today makes a week.
This morning the sky  was very red, and it’s been raining almost every day for about two weeks.

This picture doesn’t do the red sky justice. It was very red.

I guess this will be  another car day.

Sometimes, when people have a near death experience, they want to make more of their life. I feel the same about this blog. Since I almost lost it, I want it to be more now that I have it back.

But I don’t know what, I’ve never known what.

Have a good weekend!

Monday Woes

Posted on by

Well, here we are on a Monday. After months of drought, the forces that be chose  my vacation to make it rain.

I read  some books, Orange Is The New Black, (not like the tv series). I read the Divergent trilogy/ the first two books were good, the third, had to put it  down.

It’s cloudy and thundery right now. It’ll get sunny again when I go back to work.

Rainy Winter Friday

Posted on by

Oh what a difference a day makes!

Yesterday was sunny and hot, today is cloudy  and cold.. It rained hard yesterday afternoon and last night, today, promises more of the same.

Today I was going to load up the kayak and head for East End to try and find the wreck I saw from the air. However the weather isn’t good for such ventures. So, at the moment, I don’t know what I’ll do today.

I’ll just have another cuppa coffee,and give it a think!

Happy FRIDAY!!!
