Randomly got a large silicone baking mat delivered to me, addressed to me. I didn't order this and no one that I know of sent it. It's nice, but... weird.

It's ok. I can understand the cold affecting your mental performance

We've had two days without rain...so I took a chance and mowed the lawn. Grass was 8-10" tall in some spots...which, of course, are the dog's preferred poop spots. Got it mowed and MOSTLY weed whacked...starting to feel a few drops.

The power is so unstable in my area now. Every time there's a thunderstorm I pretty much just brace for it to be out for an hour or so. Sometimes not even a storm it just happens out of nowhere in summer. At least it's never for long though and I have enough battery to ride through it.

'They' say we're almost two inches below normal for the month. I don't see how ... I still have mud and puddles in a few places. Been a few days without rain, but storms forecast for the weekend, just like last weekend.

Got pulled over for speeding this morning. The occifer had just taken my license and registration heading back to his truck to write the ticket when he turned around, handed them back and said, “I got another call; today is your lucky day”, and left.

Paid off the car today. Time to trade it in and lose a bunch of money!
