Fantastic day today for Veteran's Day. Mrs. AZ was off so we sent to check on progress for the new house as well as have lunch.

Place we went to is more of a yuppie place but it was a great day to have lunch outside. Skies clear in all directions. Outstanding views.

Made trip to Home Depot. Had to stock up on air filters. System requires 2 20"x20". Bought 2 3-packs. With what we had already, that will carry us well into March based on a 30-day change that I like to do when the system is running.

Easy to be embarrassed when you come up short, eh?

Speaking of which, my local friends got some treats for Veterans Day. The guy is a US Navy Veteran. A $60 steak for free for him. Not sure if she paid for her lasagna.
PS. In barely a week, they are going on a 53 day South America /Antarctica cruise mostly thanks to the Casino Cruise Deals. OMG! I am so jealous!!

....and start doing 4-5 mile ruck marches with a pack again.

Figured I just did 2 1/2 miles herding FOUR cats around the block this morning.

Midnight, the nearly blind Bombay kitten, insisted on joining us.



Buddy deserves much of the credit. Whenever Midnight ventured across the street, Buddy steered Midnight back to the sidewalk.

Midnight, full of excitement, ran back and forth along Delaware and Maple Streets. I, of course, tried to keep up with him.

BTW, yesterday was Armistice Day, not Veterans Day, for those of us who know real American history.

Though it is only about the middle of the Fall season here but "The Winter has come!"

We have rain in the forecast again. Sometime tomorrow. Then again on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.

I woke up at 4am laughing my butt off we had a storm pass through overnight and I guess a thundercell passed over my neighborhood and two loud booms 2 seconds apart rang out with the first boom waking me up and the second loud one, and I kid you not, sounding like the thunder you hear in classic movies and TV series and for some reason it made me laugh half asleep. As a kid I always wondered why real thunder never sounded like thunder in the movies and lo and behold this morning I experienced a total cliche thunder boom.

It sounded exactly like this.


I don't know why I'm still laughing

HS buddy of mine and his wife are currently at their house in Florida. Guess they went down at the right time.
