Alittle bit of snow this morning when I woke up.. It started around 10 I guess last night, it only got down to about 31-32 and the high today was about 37 so it didn't stick around long, it stayed cloudy all day but only like a 20% chance of precip. They predict a warming for the rest of the week with little or no rain expected and possibly 65 by Sunday.. I went to Wallyworld this morning got a few things for the freezer, when I got back didn't really feel like going out so I just put on a crappy movie and just kinda fell asleep!. Well, it's almost the end of the month, ya know what that means!?. (nothin)

Nice morning here in Girard !. Clear, light breeze,  51.. Have to walk down and get a few  things... well gotta get bread...Just don't know were to go for it, Casey's or our local market, oh well, don't, matter, I'll prolly pay the same no matter were I go!. The last 3 or 4 days were nice, start out clear then partly cloudy-up, last  time it snowed here was about a week ago, we got maybe a quarter inch but it was like 31-32 so it was pretty much all gone by supper time!. For the last few months, well Sept. I suppose I have been sleeping good, I'd turn in between 12 and 2 and get up around 8:30 or 9, I think a few times I slept till 10, but nothing could have prepared me for what was about to happen!. The other night I guess I stayed up till 2:30, and I woke-up the next morning at 10:30!. (if I was down Fla. that would be like....like, almost 12!.) Soon as I woke-up I right away put two fingers on my neck looked at my watch on my wrist!.(I was ok though) Well it's getting on 12:00 here, and I got places......well.....a place to go, the mail should be coming by soon........Oh, that reminds me, somehow the post office thought that I had moved, Idk where they got that from, I've been here for the past 7 months (they thought I moved on Dec.2) but I got t all straightened out!.. In the words of the, 'Duke'   "I'm Burnin Daylight"!.

I seen a 'post' on Fb. earlier of President Obama laying on the floor (in one of his many offices) holding a baby/playing with a baby, and I thought, "That's a great man"!. I'm trying not to be to political here but just look at the two, Obama has made time for Family, his work, playing with  his Daughters, making time for others/the community, just an all around, 'Great Pres./Guy'!. Now let's look at the other side of the coin, 'Trump' what can be said about Trump, "the exact opposite!. He does not care about the community or others, if he does say or do something good it's most likely because something bad is happening and he's trying to get your attention off it!. does not spend time with Fam!. 'PUSHED' the proverbial 'red button'!. Then there are others, like talking about grabbing women here'n'there, or talking about shooting people in the street, I'm  sure he signed a few good bills/passed a few good bills, but look how much bad he's  done.. I wouldn't want to play golf with him, I'd probably loose to him by  an astronomical score, considering all the time he spent out on the course!.

I awoke this morning to the low 20's and we prolly made it all the way to the low 30's but a reaaaalll nice day, no clouds and very very lite wind.. (leaves/feathers) Did get out and walk, I walked all the way around the house to check the mail, (like a 60 foot walk, round trip) anyway, that was my walk for the day!.. I think tomorrow I'm gonna call and arrange me a ride to Wallyworld, and of curse stop at my fav. Bistro!..

Started out cloudy here in Girard, then I guess around 10 the sun started to come out and made way for mostly clear skies but was on the cool side with temps. in the 30's all day, (idk may have got up to 40 for a high) but it was windy all day, atleast till about 5 anyway.. Didn't really do much today, on account of the wind, was gonna walk to the market and get a few things but on the way there I stopped off at, 'Painted Barrels' and sat there for awhile and visited, just pondering what my next move  was.. I ended up walking down to Casey's, it was a nice day, sure it was alittle windy, and  sure I almost got hit in the head by a cow but there was alota blue up there, then came back and watched, 'Robin Hood' with Kevin Costner!..

It was a we bit 'cool' this morning, with  a 32 degree reading and partly cloudy skies with a lite breeze.. Went to Wallyworld today, had to fill the freezer, went to Wendy's too !. (it was cold there too) After I got back, I really didn't do any walking around, just kinda stayed in, did some computing, played with my new 'Bluetooth' I got for a (late) Xmas gift!.

It was cloudy upon waking up, the temp. was in the mid. 40's but there was only a 10% chance of precip. The Sun did peek through a few times, and there was a lite breeze.. Had to do a few things today, walked down and get bread, stop in and pay my Craw-Kan phone bill.. As I was walking by the Eye Dr. the Receptionist at the desk waved me in, (kinda added alittle light to my day) she gave me an eye opp. set for Feb. 13.. Then went to the P.O. had to mail something then it was back home...... Oh, stopped in, 'Painted Barrels' sat there and visited awhile then back home.. Tomorrow I think I'll call and line myself up a ride to 'Wallyworld'!. (my fav. eatery)

Blog post: Jan.12

Well, had me a nice little 2 day vacation, got to eat at my fav. eatery, walked next door, got a new cell phone from Wallyworld even got to witness a snow storm!. The owners and I are getting to know each other pretty well, he wanted me to buy him a big 24oz. can of Bud Lite and I brought back 24 cans, honest mistake, little bit of a lang. barrier (they're Indian) but a nice guy!. (we had a good  laugh over it) Today wasn't bad, got up to 24 I guess sun came out a few times, lite wind, lows are predicted to be in the upper teens and then highs reaching 40 tomorrow, (well later today) must get ready for bed!.

Well, it started out nice, partly cloudy little breezy, 59 got up to 68... (if not the upper 60's!..Yep the upper 60's) now it's 9:30 and about 30!.. The weather started to turn, around afternoon, I guess around 11:30 or 12..Started getting cloudy, breeze was picking up then about 1started raining, not much in the way of lightning though although we did have a few good flashes.. Decided to take myself a little getaway, I got myself a room in the next town,(Pittsburg) walk across to Wallyworld, go to Wendy's!.. I don't know if I'll be able to get out tomorrow, the news man said, up to 3" of snow by noon, I'll say this, with all this rain we're having now then later dipping down into the  low 20's and obviously turning to ice then the snow on top of that, well them's the makings for avalanches!.. I have to walk across the street tomorrow to the 'Dollar store', (that's next to Wallyworld) maybe I can ice skate over, I am up hill from it..........(I think, maybe down) Idk, doesn't matter, I don't know how to ice skate!.I just finished my pizza, now I go get ready for bed!.

Beautiful day, very streaky day!. Probably started out around 32 but quickly warmed up to about 61.. Went to Wallyworld this morning, had to get a few things, I walked down to Walgreens, I wanted to get my pics. I took.. It's not good to take pics. of something at night!. I wanted to get pics. of all the Xmas lights for a friend of mine in Fla. well, all the lights came out, and, close up stuff.. A few things did come out, I took some pics. of inside, so it wasn't all lost... Came back, stopped at Wendy's , all in all it was a pretty nice day!.

Got up to about 55 today, another day with lots of blue in the sky.. Didn't really have any plan on were to go, but I knew I was going for a walk!. So I started out walk'n up to the first stop sign then, 'stop' , Now I got 4 directions to choose, so I end up  going straight, and then I made a right, eventually I went to the market, had to get some stuff for the fridge anyway and I had a few dollars and on top of that it was a nice day.. (not a cloud all day) I came back, put my things away, stayed for about an hr. or so then went back out some more!. I went down to 'Painted Barrels' stayed there awhile then came back, it was starting to get dark.. Now I'll make a couple of hamburgers and watch a couple of movies!.

Ya know, I think the cool weather makes me sleep more, I get a solid 6, 7 hrs. every night, last night I went to bed alittle after 12 (normally I turn in around 1) and I awoke this morning at 9:42, that's like.....like (counts on fingers) a really long time, as soon as I woke up, I checked my pulse to see if I was alive!. (I am) Down Fla. I'd go to sleep at 12 or so, wake at 2 or 3 and then say, "Heyyyy, it's only 3, I can go back to sleep"!. Here, nooOOOooooo, I sleep right thru the whole night!. (No, I don't have a sleeping problem......RIGHT) My friend Carl, added a new menu item, every Sun. from 12-4 is 'Pancakes all you can eat $5.00 then others too like, biscuts'n'gravy /bacon / sausage / and your choice of milk or coffee, all for extra like $1.00 or $1.50... I had bscuts'n'gravy /pancakes / bacon and scrambled eggs.....oh and a pepsi!. (so I just basically said, "yeah" to all) Ya know it's funny, whenever I go in there my belly doesn't quite touch the edge of the table, but when I leave it does!. 'Kimberly's Little Hut' they have a little paper menu of the usual but if they're have a special, they'll make a sign and put it on their wall, "Ask us about our special steak night" or "Ask us about our New Year's Eve. Dinner".. (which was a Ribeye, which all I left was the aluminum foil) A few times a week he has his bbg out there, 1 day is a regular 'Country Fried Steak'  and Thurs. is regular 'Hamburger' day, (that's my day) sat for little while after I finished, watched some tv then walked it of around the 'Square'!. I went up and got some things from Casey's....That's.........that's........about it!.

Today was a beautiful day, not a cloud all day, started out at about 32 warmed up to about 50, alittle breezy, but really nice!. Walked down talked alittle with Carl, he works down at, 'Kimberly's Little Hut' then I walked on down to Casey's, had a candy bar and a root beer by the 'Square'!. Didn't really feel like going back home, so I just stayed out and visited with a few more people, it was such a nice day.. (now I'm getting ready to chow down on my personal pan pizza......err, well, small personal pizza)

Didn't really do much today, just wet down to, 'The Pink Pickle' !. For those of you that don't now what the Pink Pickle is, it's a 'Bar 'n' Grill' .. So I just walked down there for a little lunch then it was back home where I just sat around and watched vids. most of the day..

Blog post: Jan.1

I haven't been here in a long time, June 30/July 1, but I'm gonna try to keep this up and keep posting on Facebook too:
Started out alittle cool this morning but quickly warmed up, I think it got up to about 60 today, if not the upper 50's anyway! Clear, alittle breezy (some little cats and dogs, maybe a cow or two)!. Had to walk down to the market and get afew things for the house, and of those few things I got a candy bar and soda and I sat by the 'Square'!. First the yard crew came by, they do this often, they keep it 'leaf free' on the yard..(Hey just saw the first truck of the new yr!....) Anyway, they keep it nice and tidy.. There wasn't much in the way of cars out.. I seen the first bald eagle of the new yr. fly over, and a couple of zombies, I'd say they were in their early teens and very focused on their fones!. (afew times they almost walked in to each other) It was a nice day here in Girard today, tomorrow I have to go to Walgreens to get my pics. then I shall walk to Wendy's (which isn't far) then to Wallyworld (which is right next door) so I'll be out till 2 anyway...
