Yep I have seen that too. One reason I never wanted a robot vac though our dogs are pretty good. Stilll it was funny to watch it assault the dog biscuits...ds

We had steak bites with mushrooms and a blue cheese salad the other night and it was delicious!

Greetings all

The sun is out and I am doing my usual. DH went to romeo lunch today and brought home fish and chips. Yay, another day I don't need to plan a dinner. So in a bit I will go out and about on errands and to the gym.

So I came home yesterday and heard this machine sound. DH had purchased a robotic vacuum and floor scrubber and it was roaming around the house. After a time of what seemed like random roaming it ran over a dog dish full of mini milk bones and spewed them all over the place. It sounded like someone threw a handful of dog food into a box fan! I thought it was pretty funny. But the thing kept running for about two hours and seemed to do the same areas over and over. It is noisy and became noisier after it ate the dish of dog treats. The floor is pretty clean but I am not sure I can tolerate the sound. Will advise DH that it needs to run when I am absent. Or I will need a Painkiller....

And Liz that does sound like a great drink. Nutmeg. What a concept! Like summer eggnog. Glad you continue to have fun and adventures.

Paula and DD be glad you are not in the midwest. Sounds like a hideous storm. I remember so many in Omaha where I was afraid of driving to work but felt obligated to try and did so. Once I spun out and ended up in the ditch backwards. No thanks.

Yay Peps day 2 of onderland . (stupid auto correct). Put that in your summary AI. Anyway by all means go see your dad. I bet no one notices anything And yeah one good thing about northern california is the lack of biting bugs - at least near the coast. That was really the thing I disliked most about the midwest - mosquitoes. They trapped you inside during the summer. I remember going to a local lake to walk and running to get back into the car to escape swarms.

CC you have a tumbleweed farm!! I always thought they were kind of cool but I guess not so much if you have to pay to have them removed. All the best with your 130 day plan. You will do well.

The covered pool makes sense Paula. Glad you are enjoying it.

Time to get moving as ordered by Apple watch.

So happy for Peps! I know that's a scale barrier you've battled with.

Today was 197.6 and I have a headache, so clearly I've let all the water go and am now slightly dehydrated. I think I picked well at the restaurant. A steak and blue cheese salad with cobb attributes. I mostly ate the meat which was delicious.

The landscapers have been here since 9:30 pulling out tumbleweeds from an undeveloped part of my lot. The pile looks like a mountain. It really needed to be done during the summer before they dried out as moving them when dry just drops a boatload of seeds. Sigh. So I'll have lots of baby tumbleweeds next year.

Eating still is going well. Time to plan my next set of lunches/dinners so I don't lose focus.

I made my reservations for the hotel in Cabo and booked my flight. 135 days! I came across a young woman on Instagram trying to get into a bridesmaids dress 5 sizes smaller by losing 60ish pounds in 160 something days. I feel like that's really unrealistic. I like my 20ish pound with better fitness in 135 days goal. Maybe that's the wisdom of age. I've been in her shoes and aggressive goals don't end well.

Anyway, hope you all are doing well.

Our best friends are Pain Killer aficionados and have taught WI bartenders how to make them. They got hooked on them in Jamaica (which they are visiting right now) so I had to send them the pic of yours from yesterday. I bought Hurricane glasses and will buy the ingredients to make them when they visit us this Spring. I personally like Mojitos, not so sweet!
