I made the right choice - it’s definitely breezy out there (I just went to fetch the mail.) The garden that I raked the other day needs to be raked again. Dammit. Not sure what to do about supper. I had a big bowl of soup for lunch, so I’m not really hungry, but **FCD** needs to eat, and if I don’t have something, I’ll be starving around 8. I dunno. We got the final Medicare statement for MIL’s hospice - it wasn’t nearly as expensive as I’d have guessed. Then again, it was just for visits by the nurses and aides, unlike a facility that has lots more charges. Anyway, I hope it’s the last of the stuff we get for her. I had to chuckle - the envelope said “To Be Opened by Addressee Only” - yeah, not gonna happen, Skippy. > [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > My 7 yo granddaughter is a whiz at sudokus. I showed Roxy how to do the 2X2 sudokus. She whipped those out and moved on - she’s definitely got a STEM brain. Her brother, OTOH, is a little smarty-pants. Today, he went to Daughter and said “Mom, I want to tell you something.” Then he mooned her and ran down the hall giggling. What is that high-priced preschool teaching him?!?!? Grands are a hoot! I’m thinking I’ll sleep with Mel tonight - it’s been a draggy day. ---

Thanks for the tip. I have only iPads (Apple iOS) but I’ll look and see if there’s a Free Glow app in the Apple App Store. I could use some more low demand puzzles, add some variety, which is good for a bonked brain’s neuro-plasticity. Thanks! I’m trying to find just the right Solitaire game but haven’t found one yet that comes with a good tutorial. ---

> [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > I might go back and try Spelling Bee or Wordle since so many Mumpers like those. That might also mean I’ll need a Mumper to coach me initially via PMs. Spelling Bee is pretty intuitive: you get 7 letters, arranged in a circle of six with one in the middle, and you make as many words with them as you can. The rules are that every word has to use the center letter at least once, and words have to be 4 or more letters long. If you make a word that uses all of the letters, that’s called a “pangram”: there is always at least one to be found. There are hints available, and you can also find out how many pangrams and possible words there are. If you decide to try it and would like some help, feel free to PM me! 😃 ---

Unfortunately, I could convince none of my friends that delicious Hatch chiles needed to be eaten today. Philistines. But we did end up at a pretty good Mexican restaurant, and their margaritas are quite tasty as well. There’s a nice steady rain going on outside, and even the kitties seem subdued. I think it’s time for cuddles on the couch and some sort of true crime doc on the TV. ---

If you decide to try it and would like some help, feel free to PM me! 😃 I went and tried Wordle and Spelling Bee but it seems that you have to pay an extra fee to subscribe to NYT games at those levels. I could do some words in Spelling Bee but once I got to 7 words it bumped me to needing to subscribe. It was fun though, I see why you like it. I’ll buckle down and try to make myself do the mini crossword and Connections every day-they are the ‘gateway’ puzzles🤣 and still free. I got two of the 4 Connections sets, the middle two but not the easiest and the hardest. I’m out of practice, gotta get back in fighting trim. ---

@Seanette, which Free Flow game do you recommend? iOS has 6 to choose from, various shapes. ---

I’d start with the basic Free Flow as a beginner. Some of the bits with shapes and paths that can leave the board and re-enter at the other side and so on are IMO a bit complex for someone just learning the game. ---

> [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > I might go back and try Spelling Bee or Wordle since so many Mumpers like those. Both have their own level of frustration at times. Spelling goes quickly at first, but by the time you close in on finishing it, your brain goes into a death spiral as you desperately try to figure out those last two words. I usually have to leave it and come back much later to finish. But I have a lot of spare time. . . Wordle has its own frustrations, of course. Having a brain fart or two like I did today is especially frustrating. Then there is the whole “do I use word lists or not” argument. I managed to man up and go for a walk today. Did about a half mile, but I feel like I could have gone longer. I just don’t want to push it too hard yet. Maybe I’ll give it another shot tomorrow. ---

And a good evening all. Spent a little time shopping, a couple of hours at the soccer fields, and a couple more hours at the gym, so a fairly active day for me. Resting now and with rain expected shortly and the temperature at 54F and dropping, have no plans to leave my humble abode until tomorrow. **Taters** , I need to vacuum too, but I really don’t like my vacuum cleaner, will be shopping for a new one once the budget settles down. As for chores, I did bring the stepladder in and set the two wall clocks I have ahead one hour, so that is done for tomorrow (albeit it will probably confuse me tonight…). > [@Misnomer](#): > > that dog narrowly avoided theriocide Damn, nice to know I am still young enough to learn a new word now and then. Thanks!! **Oopsie** , good luck on the job search, it is nice to know that you have some fallbacks for the next few weeks. For other NY Times game-players, I am fond of the Ken-Ken game (kind of like Sudoku, but you have to solve equations to complete the square). **Piper** , good choice, I wonder if it will be enough to pressure those tariff folks to back off…we’ll see. **doggio** , the Girl Scouts got me outside of Wal-Mart today, so bought a couple boxes of Adventurefuls (caramel/brownie cookies) which I am struggling not to over-consume. And that’s all I wrote for now. Hugs and happy thoughts to all, will check in before bedtime (whenever that is with the screwy clocks…) ---

The place was a mess (even worse than usual), the goods left were mostly the ‘weird’ or outlier things. That was pretty much my experience. I wasn’t the only one walking out without a purchase either. I kind of made up for it today by stopping at [Smart Art](https://smartartandcraft.org/) on the way home from SIL. You may want to check if you have something similar in your neck of the woods. They offer classes, thrift art and sewing supplies and employment opportunities to intellectually challenged individuals (the proceeds go to ARC). My sister in Houston always wants to hit them up when she’s in town (she quilts, knits, crochets, sews, does beadwork, etc). The bonus is that the strip mall that it’s in has a cool, eclectic array of shops and honky tonks, as well as a cat cafe. The St. Patrick’s themed tea at SIL’s today was good. My niece was showing off pics of her new chicks (she lives on the outskirts of a kind of a town that is big into marching to the beat of a different drum and she bought 13 peeps to raise some chickens). The plan for the next tea is to go to her house and have a chicken / egg theme. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > As I came out of the office, I saw bird poop on my car roof, so I decided to make a detour and drive thru the automated car wash. I even sprang for the $12 wash - prices range from $9 to $14 and I got the second to the most expensive - go me! 😉 A while back we signed up for unlimited premier car washes. The monthly fees are about the same as two washes. I run my truck through the wash almost every time I drive it. My wife doesn’t like running her car through so I take it two or three times a week so we are averaging about six washes a week or twenty four a month so it boils down to two or three dollars a wash ---

I bought some USDA Choice chuck stew meat from the buy-it-before-it-rots bin at the supermarket last week. Thawed (since I’d stored it in the freezer), I made [chili colorado](https://www.beyondtheacorn.net/articles/gebhardts-1896-chili-con-carne/). I didn’t follow the recipe (of course), using it only to see how much Gebhardt’s they used. I used more. And I didn’t follow their cooking sequence. The result was delicious. (FWIW, I seared the meat coated in flour and salt in vegetable oil, then sautéed the onions, then added the garlic, then returned the meat – seasoned with the chile powder – to the pot and added water.) Mi Esposa had hers (with sour cream and shredded cheese) on top of Fritos for a ‘pepper belly’ (regional term, for us, for ‘walking tacos’ or ‘Frito pie’). I mixed some cayenne pepper into mine, with sour cream and shredded cheese. I had two bowls. ---

So not a lot happened here today. I got a swim in and then came home and sat on my butt and stitched and smoked weed and looked at the forest. The sausage raven came and knocked at the french doors and I grabbed a hot dog and started across the gully. Smart bird didn’t waste any time flap hopping after me, he just flew straight to Harry’s bell and started ringing it like an over-caffeinated toddler. Harry always takes the hot dog, but doesn’t give it to raven then, bird gets other treats in the morning and gets the hot dog at dinner time. That’s a lot of big brain work for a little bird with a whole bunch of steps for a future reward. I thought I had successfully avoided the orange elephant in the room until I fired up Diablo and his cult members were ranting on all the channels. That’s fine, I’ll just play Farmville instead. I had ordered some kitchen curtains that Hubs put up today. I looked at them all afternoon and had him take them back down so I can send them back and get a different color. I’ve always just had mini-blinds over the kitchen window in the past, but I’m going to need insulated curtains in the summer because the sun is so intense on that side of the house. Around 1500 Hubs was out in the kitchen and told me how much he missed playing board games with Angel and Herk. I thought that was odd because we have only played board games with them twice. When I asked which board game he liked the best, he said his favorite was the one where I would arrange cheese, meats, crackers and orange slices on a board and we would all eat it. OK, I can take a hint! I set up a “game” and yeah, he was really good at it, LOL!!! ---

Saskatchewan doesn’t do DST. We’re the only province that doesn’t. The dividing line between Central Time zone and Mountain Time zone runs right up the middle of the province, so we just picked Central Time and stick with it. ---

There are cling window films that you can put on the glass to deflect that beating down sun (under the blinds or curtains) so you can still enjoy the pretty curtains or blinds of your choice. If you want the sun’s warmth in the winter you can take it off in the fall and them put it up in the spring, plus you don’t have to lose your view of your pretty forest, trees, river, etc. > [@peedin](#): > > can’t wait til I can ride her.
