@Yvonne G, you need one of these robots!

I want one of those. I will add it to my wish list next to the robot vacuum. Lol

Sheldon’s tests came back as cancer. He is helping us accept this diagnosis by destroying his brand new mattress. So not happy with him at the moment. The doctor said that we need to watch his appetite, breathing and energy level. He said if it spreads it will more likely go to the liver or lungs. He said on a scale of 1-3, it was a 3. That’s not good. He said it could come back in a month, year, or never since he is so old already. He still seems like he feels fine just loves to drive us crazy while we are gone. The neighbor is having a new fence built and the machine they were using was beeping a lot. He can’t handle beeping so he tore up his bed. I try not to leave him alone for more than an hour but today we had an awards banquet for our daughter. We have him meds to help, but the beeping was too much. The good news is, he didn’t destroy the walls in the hall like he has done in the past. I’d much rather him destroy the mattress.

Sorry about your Sheldon.

He is one naughty boy!!

So, I’m feeding the fish inside and I hear this horrible noise coming from outside like Shelly is knocking a garbage can over and she dragging it around.
I stick my head out the back sliding door and I see Shelly standing on her back legs knocking over the plastic barrier by the other sliding door. [emoji33]
I called out her name and she turned and gave me the infamous side eye and got down as if she was supposed to be there ‍
The adventures of Shelly continue...

Lol. Shelley sounds like quite the character. [emoji23]

Good evenooning everyone.

I popped up to London to do a little shopping and am meeting JoesDad after work for dinner.

Here’s Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square.

And on the wall between the column and the National Gallery is this curiosity

The official standards of length from 1826 (as long as it is 62F.)

Whahaha. I wonder if anybody actually uses it today?

I was able to go all the way around the pond with the weed trimmer and had just started in the leopard yard when the battery gave out. Good thing, too, because my back and arm were ready to give out too. I had moved the handle clear up towards the top of the unit, but that wasn't right either. I found myself grabbing the pipe down beyond the handle. So next time I'll try moving the handle down towards the cutting part of the unit and see if that works better.

I finally figured out the trick to getting the battery charger to accept the battery. The charger has a blinking green light when it's charging, but a blinking red light when something's wrong and it's not charging. Jaizei told me to try allowing the battery to cool down before putting in on the charger, and that worked for a while, but then it started only giving me the blinking red. So I figured out (all by myself, thank you very much) to unplug the charger, place the battery in it, then plug the charger in. Works every time! (Well, it has worked both the two times I've done it!)

Well done on figuring it out. I would get very irritated if I had to fiddle with it constantly everytime I wanted to charge it.

We are having quit the poppy super bloom here in southern Ca.
I’m not sure about up north where Yvonne is.
People are stopping traffic on the freeway and causing back up and parking along side which is dangerous so now you have to get shuttles.
Here’s around our town.

Here’s an arial shot not far from us.

Wow. !! I will even say it backwards.....Wow.

 

[CarolM]

I took a screenshot. My son may be over this weekend and will help me get back on Facebook. I'll go from there. All my other friends have tried to coax me too...you guys or gals won.

Yayyyy, we are the kings and queens!!!

That looks like an awesome start. Can we get a pic or two of snap? We haven't seen him for a while.

Snap is no little guy anymore, he's grown quite a bit. He is also showing more signs that "He" is actually a "She". He/She will still be snap though. Snap and pals will move into the 75 gallon once the bigger turtles move to the pond.

 

[CarolM]

Me too. I'm glad they got caught. Maybe it will get back to what it should be. I'm a complete idiot online and could tell something wasn't right.

Wait.!! What did I miss? Who was caught and what were they caught doing?

 

[CarolM]

It’s really just activity with no force behind it. I feel like I’m doing ok.. I don’t know how good the box will look, but it’s well insulated and should last .

I am sure that Torreto will certainly appreciate it.

 

[CarolM]

I’m great. Things are really so much simpler now but thanks!

I’m so proud of her. Her main interest is Forestry. She is an FFA officer and competes heavily in career and leadership development events. She doesn’t show animals though. Lol... she is just too lazy for that. When she realized how much she would have to do, she opted out My animal gene skipped her and landed on my son.. we all have our talents and interests and the differences make people interesting... [emoji16]

That saddle looks like it took a lot of work, so she is by no means a slouch.

 

[CarolM]

Welp...looks like it ain’t over...I wish I’d live in paradise with you guys...View attachment 267945

Brrrrrrrrrr........

 

[CarolM]

Thank you Carol, I tell him everyday he is my big, handsome boy!!

No Wonder he is a Diva. [emoji6] It has all gone to his head! [emoji23]

[emoji85] [emoji85] [emoji85] [emoji85] Although I don't blame him. It must be awful to listen to that beeping especially with their sound sensitivity levels.

 

[CarolM]

Not quite, but I picked some dandies for Lola - the first of the year!

Yayy. I am waiting for more rainy days before I plant the seeds that i got from Sabine.

Speaking of Summaries, I better do some homework for the summary on Monday. There will be two weeks worth that i will need to summarize.

I thought you did and I couldn't find you. I saw a post that sounded like you had posted after all. So I just lollygaged around on the CDR trying to find it.
