We received more than just a brief passing of the tail of the front. It rained and dropped some pea sized hail. It dropped 1.11" in less than thirty minutes. We need the rain but not so much at a time that most of it just runs off the yards and down the street. Some is far better than no rain.

So this doesn't seriously grind my gears, but it is irritating.

I often use expedia as a quick check for travel stuff. Sometimes I book with them and sometimes not, but I do have an account.

We'll be renting a car and I ran the parameters...note that the special "member price" for these "manager specials" (where they give you whatever they like, so it might be a crackerbox or a gas-guzzling suv) are HIGHER for the member price than if you're just a guest on the site. It's not a lot of difference, but it's the principle of the thing. Ugh.

Today was one of those lucky ducky days. I did my spring service on my mowers and equipment today. Normally, after sitting all winter, I have trouble with something. Not so today. Everything started and was more enthusiastic about mowing than I was. I changed oil and lubed the mowers and cleaned the air filters. I sharpened the blades and cleaned the decks. I even mowed my grass today and will start mowing Thursday. I'm more than ready!

That's excellent.
We have had such spring weather that I have already had to start up the irrigation system. It's an annual chore I dread, because something is always broken or messed up. Same deal this year, but at least it's all nozzle-related repairs, so I don't have to dig anything up.
An added benefit of living in big brother country (California) is that you can't buy regular in-ground sprinklers anymore. They have to be pressure-regulated to 30 pounds so they're about double the cost if you have to replace one. The huge downside is that old systems were based on higher pressure, so if you you have to replace one, it won't cover the same area due to the lowered pressure. Thanks, CA!

Another "hold my beer" episode.

Italian sausage slow cooked in real butter over a bed of yellow squash, red, yellow, and orange bell pepper slices.

Cook covered until veges are soft and sausage is done but not browned !

Ummm ummmm good !

I remember the good old day's when all you had to do is go buy a 5 dollar crystal from Radio Shack and plug it into your scanner ...

I had a digital trunking (receive only) scanner a long time ago, I was not smart enough to program it nor did I know the frequencies to program in.

A buddy who was a city fire department employee, kept it up to date for me, until he could not get the police freaks anymore ...

Now I use this but as stated, I can not hear the car transmissions in my city, nor does it track the laptop traffic.

I can't remember, this was a problem from years ago on another phone.

Fixated

After considering the new features of the S26 Ultra, our genuine need for them and how seldom we would use them, the Darling Bride and I decided that it's not worth the $700 (with trade-in) to get the new phone. I'll wait a few weeks and see what the Moto G Stylus (2026) will offer for a far lower price.

Becoming an adult in the 1980s meant being a little child in the mid-1960s, when women were obsessed with trying to hit the "perfect" measurement: 36-24-36. They would get together for "lunch" at Woolworth's and lunch would be a lettuce leaf with a slice of pineapple on it; a scoop of cottage cheese on that, with a cherry on top; and two slices of Melba toast. That was it... and either a Tab or Fresca to drink.
