Worked the DED program this morning with the early exercise.

5:40 this morning for a 30 minute walk of the dog, followed by a 6 mile bike ride. A humid and hot day or two in a row. I'll happily take it. Guess I can now drain the gas out of the snowblower.

Tank has no attached balls... they were already gone when he entered the shelter. Poor fella was only 9 months old at the time, but my vet said for dogs his size, 6-9 months is the norm for neutering.

S'awright... pops got him some toy balls to play with. It doesn't hurt if other dogs bite them. Anxious

Yeaaaahhhhh... that's like saying they have snow in Alaska. As the second largest state, I think I wanted it narrowed down a little bit, ya know? Like what part of Texas is considered "hill country".

Anyway... the magic google showed me. Wonder what the housing prices are like... Texas has pretty high property taxes, I hear.

Pull up a Texas map and look right to the heart/middle of Texas.Hill Country is gorgeous and pricey........fookin californie bastids keep movin in.More African game running round in Hill Country than in Africa,great fishing,lots of wineries and more brew shops than you can shake a stick at.While I love the area it is just too populated for this old country boy.I live about 150-200 miles north of Hill Country,close enough for a short drive if I feel the urge plus I live by 3 very under utilized lakes that are full of fish and short on boats...........my favorite kind of lake to sho.

Because by the time we got competing quotes in and made the call, they were booked up. Bound to happen the first hot week coming out of winter/spring. Nobody's run their stuff for 6 months and all the issues are discovered.

Had I done it a week ago, probably two days at most

That's why I replaced mine when I did, 20 years old... it was time. And replaced the water heater before it started leaking, it was almost 22!

It's always a tough thing. Have it crap the bed when it's inconvenient, or get ahead of it and feel like you spent money you didn't need to... d'oh!

Isn't that the way it almost always works whenever any machine sits idle for so long?

I have an annual maintenance contract and they come out twice a year. Now that it is going toward heavy a/c season, I bought a new set of filters and they are coming out next week to do summer preventative maintenance and to make sure everything is in order.

Spent 45 min this morning trying to figgure out why my mom's new laptop and printer wasn't printing PDF's from her e-mail. It print's them just fine if she downloads them and prints from Acrobat Reader but it won't print them from the browser.

She was using Chrome, switched the preferred browser to Firefox and got it to works from there. Prolly some PDF extension or plug-in that's not installed on her Chrome browser.

30 min of the 45 min was small talk. When you get my mom on the phone it's at least an hour conversion of stuff not related to the initial call. Apparently her butterfly plants aren't coming up yet, the rabbits ate them last fall. The other day she went to get flowers to put on the families cemetery plots. They drive across the state to plant flowers on the plots each year on Memorial Day weekend (about a 4 hr drive one way). She rattled off a list of flowers but I kinda zoned out.

Dad bought a new replacement power supply to put into the tower computer she had that crapped out. We think the reason that it died was because of the power supply. But the new one doesn't look exactly like to old one although it has the same ratings and standard plug connections. He wanted to know if he should put it in.

"Dad... you worked at a radio and TV station your whole career as a broadcast engineer. You've worked on huge transformers, and high voltage systems, antennas. You have a HAM shack in your basement that can transmit and receive other HAM radios from all corners of the world. Your HAM set up kicks out more wattage than any computer in your home... x100,000. You're more qualified to determine if the computer transformer will work better than I am. Just install it, easy peasy. Worst thing that could happen is you fry the mother board. The computer doesn't work as is so what do you have to loose."

We have been here since it was built 24 years ago and I did the exact same thing with the a/c unit, roof, exterior paint x 3, water heater, pool equipment, and the like over the last seven or so years for the exact same reason. It's all better quality than what we got from the builder, so now the house is easily set for 20+ years. It keeps both the value and desirability of your house greater for re-sale too. Not to mention this is most people's largest and often sole asset...

Been getting leg cramps at night, always on the right leg. It may or may not be related but this is the side that I have sciatica issues with too when it flares up.

According to a quick Google search and a simplified source (not sure WebMD is something of a valuable resource).

"Experts don’t know the exact cause of nighttime leg cramps. They could happen because your nerves send the wrong signals to your muscles. For example, your brain might mistakenly tell your leg to move while you dream. That confuses your calf muscles and causes them to contract.

You’re more likely to have a leg cramp if you:

Are 50 or older
Work your muscles too much
Sit too long without moving
Don’t drink enough water
Stand too long on hard surfaces"

https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/leg-cramps

So... I hit 3 of the 5 possible contributors.

50 or older (check)
Don't drink enough water (probably)
Stand too long on hard surfaces (most likely, should prolly get some added insoles for standing/walking on cement most of the day).

Oscar, is that you?

But seriously, try eating more yellow mustard to help prevent the cramps. I learned about that 30-ish years ago when I was playing on a mixed doubles tennis team. One humid night at practice, one of the gals opened up a packet of mustard and ate it. I asked why and was told it helped prevent cramping. I like mustard so was easy for me to add it to my food whenever I had the chance. But, I don’t eat mustard every day so I still get an occasional cramp but I think a lot less than before.
