Blog time 1130

Late start today, I slept in until 0700.  The temperature dropped all night.  It was 50 with 20 mph winds at 0700.

 Nancy headed out early for her Thursday swim, followed by a Doctor’s appointment.  Nancy is having foot surgery next week and today she will get more details.

This evening Nancy and I are having dinner at Kathi Kothe’s.  

With the strong, 20 mph, west wind I picked the bike route that is mostly north-south.  It is tough pedaling against a 20 mph wind even on flat terrain.  

This and that;

The stock market rises and the stock market falls.  So what else is new?

A rocket with two Astronauts including one American fails on launch in Kazakhstan.  The capsule made an emergency landing.  Both astronauts are ok.  Scary!

Is an agreement on BRexit coming soon?

I can’t believe I am saying this but “I am tired of reading the trash in the Daily Mail”.

Hurricane Michael and other recent natural disasters should put folks on notice that “Mother Nature Rules”. 

The Feds are going to give us old folks a raise next year.  SS is going up several percentage points.

After lunch I made a quick trip to Costco.  Bought wine, Cheerios and sandwich rolls.  Thursday is a good day for shopping at Costco because of small crowds.

Nancy had a pre-surgery meeting with her Doctor this morning.  She will not know the exact time of next Wednesday’s operation until Tuesday.

Still getting ready for winter.  Moving cold weather clothes out and storing the warm weather shirts and pants.

At 1730 we drove to Kathi Kothe’s for dinner.  We started the evening with an apple cider whiskey cocktail.  It was really good.  Next we had a great cheese tray followed by a meal of chicken stew, pasta and salad.  For dessert Kathi had a cheese cake.  I broke all my dietary rules but it was worth it.  I will survive.

We did not get home until 2130.  No Netflix tonight we headed straight to bed.
