Found the Lions disaster. Hardly worth the bother. They've already a worse record than all of last year. Boy do they have lots of work to do :o the Packers seem to be decent. Thankfully we had spur of the moment plans and didn't waste the day watching them. Joined friends for dinner and cards.  ;)

Replaced blades on the zero turn then mowed. Hitting the rack worn out.

Good Morning All,

Today for breakfast is coffee, cereal, cinnamon and pecan rolls from a Amish bakery, yogurt, OJ, and soda.

Started the day with a walk at 73F which is cooler but still lots of moisture in the air from the late night thunderstorms.

I started the cabin car project but discovered one of the 2 marker lights would not light. While I was attempting to buy a new set I discovered that our checking account had been hacked. Turns out 3 accounts in total had been. :-X  :-X  :-X. MOH finally got everything fixed with new account numbers and all that entails. This morning we have to get new check cards. :-X  :-X  :-X

That's all I got.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning,

Curt thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Sorry to hear you got hacked and the associated stuff that goes along with it. That happened to my Daughter years ago but the bank made it right.

What's your plans for the day?

It's a sunny 49 with a high of 68 in New York. The Contractor should be here today to redo my back roof on the house and fix the first guys mistakes; ugh. A couple of errands to run then the rest of the day is up in the air.

Have a great day!! Be well and stay safe.

Good morning, Curt, Larry and later arrivals.  I'll put some Summercrisp pears on the counter.  The NH seacoast is clear and sunny, starting to warm up from a low around 50F. I'm off to the Trolley Museum after breakfast, to move some cars out of the way of track construction.

Sorry to hear of the banking attack, Curt. So far I've avoided on-line access to anything but credit cards. Luckily I've got a local mutual savings bank; its management answers ultimately to its customers, not Wall St. greedheads, so its branches are well-staffed and responsive.  On top of that, a health insurance company lost my social etc. My credit reports have been locked since, but at least it stopped the new card offers.

Morning everyone

Curt thanks for the coffee & breakfast.
Sorry to hear you got hacked.
We had it done last year what a PITA it was to get everything fixed.

Larry have a good day running those errands.

James good morning and thanks for the pears.

Weather in South Jersey is cool/57.  Later on 68.
We have to make a trip to North Jersey today.
So that will be on the agenda today.

Everyone have a wonderful day!!  :)

Good morning everyone.

Mostly cloudy with a high in the mid 70's here in Washington.

Curt thanks for the coffee and breakfast and sorry about the hack.

On the phone this morning so I'll be brief today.

Won another $53 at the slots yesterday which paid for my breakfast and drinks while I watched the Redskins win.
Gym, REI for new hiking boots, maybe a haircut and pick up my prescription are planned for today.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning Curt, Larry, James, Jerry, Rick and the rest of the crew that drops in later.

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Curt, I haven't had cinnamon and pecan rolls from a Amish bakery since my sister was living in Pennsylvania, best rolls I've ever had.  Sorry to hear that you got hacked, hope the bank resolve the issue to your satisfaction.

Larry, hope the back roof gets replaced today.

James, enjoy your day.

Jerry, safe driving.

Rick, sounds like a maintenance day, hope you find hiking boots.

Currently 10c (50f) and sunny.  Made more progress in the pile bent yesterday.  I'm thinking another evening or two and it will be completed.  I'll try to post an update this evening.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast Curt. Sorry to hear about the banking hack. I do have other markers if you want to stop by and get them.

Sounds like everyone else is having a busy day. Enjoy and stay safe.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning crew. What an ordeal Curt. Glad your able to sort it out.

Nice Rick! cha ching! ;D

A slow Monday here with 45 degree weather. Replacing the wheelbarrow tire tube today and mowing later.

Harvested about 70 pounds of potato's this year. Not a good year gardening.

Have a great week!

Good morning from Wisconsin. All of a sudden the guessers are saying we are in a warming trend. 45f degrees now and 75 later! I'll take and be happy back in shorts!

No plans other than to relax. It's been go go for me the last few days

KARL, I watched the 2nd half of the Packers/Lions. The lions will be fine. That game in GB was an aberration of what the pack really is. Nantz/Romo are clueless as to really what's happening on the field. This  Packer coach like any Viking team will find a way to screw up a good team.

Nope the son in Texas did not have that winning Powerball ticket

Enjoy your day

Good afternoon folks,

Curt, thanks for opening.  Yikes on the account hacks. Glad you were able to straighten things out.  Good luck with the marker lights.

Larry, hope you have success with the back roof.

James, it's a full-time job guarding financial accounts and personal information.

Jerry, safe travels on your trip.

Rick, congrats on the wins.  Good luck with the boot purchase.

Ron, looking forward to your photo update of your bents.

TomACL, hope you had a nice day.

Philip, congrats on the harvest.  While not what you expected, it's still good.

TomO, glad you got some rest time.

Karl, not frost, say it's not so!

It was another hazy day with a high of 78°F.  I should have worked outside a bit, but I headed upstairs this morning and just came down.  Progress on the Masonic Lodge was minimal, but still progress.

Have fun,
mike
