78 already, going to high 80's, humid, rain later



I helped hubby put up a fence yesterday, just the small front fence by the deck.

My son showed up and helped build the gate while I supervised. Next weekend the

back fence is going up.

Hot and muggy again but some clouds to keep it a little cooler.

Went for my sonagram for the kidney again this morning.   No change, all is

well.

Now, I have no idea what I want to do today - hard to get started when the

morning is disrupted - my mind is discombobbled.   Hate to start big jobs.  

when in doubt - dust!!



Glad your son came by to help Earline.  Jobs are easier with the right kind of

muscle.



Sheri - enjoy your Birthday Party

75 going to 90, thunderstorms later



I think I'll start sewing cushions this morning, I have to keep the dogs inside,

they're paving the alley and the dogs will be barking continuously.

I haven't been getting much blogging or researching done at all lately, I'll get

back to it when the work on the boat is finished.

Same ole weather here - no changes.   Today was a day for puttering and putting

the finishing touches on the end of jobs.   Had to reconcile my Statements from

the Brokers and get those files up to date.  Did Bank statements last week, so

paperwork is getting out of the way, which keeps the piles down.   I refuse to

let them grow again and get out of hand.  Still have more scanning to do, but it

takes me as long to decide if I need them or if I can just enter data rather

then scanning.   But progress is still being made.   Yesterday I spent a few

hours on the Irish records looking for those elusive Sullivans.    They are

starting to come together little by little.   A new Parent here, a sibling there

and the whole family is emerging.   All I had before was the direct line only.



I like ice cream with a straw - so much easier to get down.   The cold hurts my

teeth.



Now it is time to go cool off in the pool.

No change in the weather - hot and humid.   Got to take my car in for service

this morning.   Going to look at new ones while I am there.   If I can get a

sweetheart deal, I may purchase a new one, otherwise, I will keep the one I

have.   I am looking for another van, but want one a little smaller so I have

more room in the garage and one that gets better gas mileage.   The new 2011

models are coming out so it is usually a good time to get a good deal on the

2010 model.   I hate purchasing new cars - such a hassel, but I can't resist a

good deal if there is one.

Well, the Salesman and I went around and around and we crunched numbers and

recrunched numbers but we could not come to a meeting of the two.   He wants two

thousand more then I want to give.   Finally, my old car was ready from the

service dept. so I took that home and saved me a lot of money.   I never even

got to a test drive or sit inside the car.   IF he calls me with a better offer,

I may go down to look at the car and test drive it then we will talk turkey

again.  In the meantime, my car is running like a top again and except for the

trouble Ihave fitting it in the garage, there is nothing wrong. with it.   We

have a narrow two car garage and the two of us park inside, but if Geo. doesn't

leave me enough room, I can't get my door open to get out of the car once I get

parked.

I put one sheet on the line before I left this morning and it got rained on

before I got home.   I am rinsing it again and will hang it in the garage and

finish the other sheet tomorrow.  Geo. was supposed to watch it, but he mowed

the lawn and came in to rest and that is when the rains came.   He had the mower

out yet, so had to go dry that down and put it away - of course, the sheet was

the last thing on his mind.

High of 88 today, humid, dropping to 80 by 7pm.



I've got the largest 2 cushions sewn and I'm taking a break outside and it's

still hot and muggy, no cold front yet, it's getting pretty breezy though.

The engine is going to be put in the boat this weekend but neither of us has our

boater's licenses yet, I'm hoping to get mine next week, I don't drive so it'll

be interesting. So I have til one of us is licensed to finish the reupholstry.

Little cooler this morning but it will be another hot and muggy day before it is

over.   Rained a little in the afternoon yesterday and I think that is what

cooled it down.

Making good progress Earline, I know you will enjoy them when they are finished.

I finally installed Brothers Keeper on this computer.   I had installed it on

the other one but procrastinated putting it on this one, because I still liked

my old version 5.2.   Well, now I found that I can get the old look on the newer

version by just going to the edit button, so I am really delighted with it now.

Amazing what a little exploring will do.  I should have done that sooner.  After

I make sure that everything and everyone transferred and converted from 5 to 6,

I will take the old version 5 off the cpu.  I feel like it will be loosing an

old friend, but much more pleased with the new one now.

Yesterday, I found where my Daniel Sullivan, Jr. was buried in Colchester, Ct.

which was a surprise to me.  I thought he had moved to New York.  I knew he had

one daughter, so did some research on her and found where she lived in the town

next to ours all her life and didn't died until 1978.   Mom died in 1969, and I

have a feeling she never knew her cousin, once removed, was so close.

56 with a high of 80, it's almost chilly this morning



So much for the boat engine being done this weekend, the guy that was supposed

to do it took off for Pelee Island last night for the weekend. He's been

promising to do it for a couple of months now, it was suppposed to be done

before we went on vacation, we're getting frustrated, hubby's about to take it

somewhere else. He had the nerve to ask hubby if he'll help another guy pull his

motor out today, hubby said he's too busy. I'm going to search for instructions

on the internet for changing boat motors and see how difficult it is, maybe

hubby and the boys can do it themselves.

the National Guard will be practicing again.  I hate it.  The da** choppers

deafen you, and they fly so low the entire building shakes.  I don't understand

how all this can prepare them for the big sand box.  I know several of the boys

in the exercises and I don't want to see them messed up 'over there'.  I know

one of them wants to make several jumps this time because they pay the guy for

every jump.   He's hopeful he can go several times.  The last time there was so

much wind that it caught his chute just before he hit the ground and he was

injured and still hasn't completely healed.  I can't say that I am proud of what

we are doing anywhere in the world.  It could be that in the search for

"rock-stardom", the news people forget to cover the good things in the world. 

It's not really news anymore, just sensationalism.  I think I need a 'news-less'

weekend.  B.O. has been such a disappointment.  And we had such hope . . . . . .

Nice this morning.  It's also very quiet here in the building.  Not often a

Saturday morning is quiet.



I found out last night that hotmail is not delivering a lot of mail either way. 

In the middle of my trying to figure it out, the thing threw me to a page

wanting me to verify my email.  I was pretty steamed to learn that my empty box

was not because I had no mail.  It was just not getting into my box.  A lot of

my emails were not getting out either.   Anyway I sent out a test email to my

account in gmail last night and waited.  Nothing.  This morning it was in my

hotmail box with a delivery failure notice on it.  Well I am back to gmail for

my lists and here for the group.  Very frustrating. <sigh>



I took a break from Brock research yesterday.  Nice.



Sheri

A slight breeze out there this morning - still hot and humid but the breeze

makes it more tolerable.

I worked on pruning the bougaviellia this morning.   Near ate me up before I

quit.  That thing has thornes that make a rose look like bumps.   Has some fern

vines entangled along with some other vines that were choking it out.    I cut a

great deal back, but had to quit when I got too hot and sweaty.   Filled up a

trash can, and will try to get the rest finished next week.  Thinned out some of

my aloe plants that were multiplying like rabbits and got rid of the ones that

outgrew their usefulness.  Then I jumped in the pool to cool down and now I am

in for the rest of the afternoon.

Earline - I don't envy your hubby with that job, but it looks like if he wants

it done, that is the only way to do it.   I make the assumption that it is an

inboard motor.   Does he have a hoist to get it out?   The biggest problems my

Dad had was making sure he lined up the shaft when re-installing and caulk

around that shaft good when finished.  Don't want all that work to go down in

the lake.

Sheri - maybe that is why we have seen as many posts for you lately, they have

been going to cyber space?

75(his morning, high of 89, looks like the cool temps are gone for the next

week.



The boys came over and helped put up the back fence yesterday, it looks great.

The dogs don't like it, they can't see out in the alley and the fence is higher,

Angus used to jump up in the air like a kangaroo to see over the old fence,

scaring anyone using the alley.



Sheri, I don't know what's up with your hotmail, all of my contacts for Hotmail,

messenger and Windows Live got deleted a few months ago when I changed my

password. I haven't gotten around to adding them again, I'm waiting until all of

the changes with Windows Live are done and it's more stable.



Norma, yes, it is an inboard motor, the old one has to be taken out,

we bought a newly rebuilt engine for it a couple of months ago hubby uses the

winch on his tow-truck to lift the engines, he helps our neighbour out quite a

bit, so that's why he offered to do our boat. I told hubby to hire him to do it,

maybe it'll get done.

Only 76 deg. this morning but the humidity was 99%.   Felt like walking in

moisture.   Unbearable.   All the rains we had yesterday have left clouds

hanging overhead with no place for all that moisture to go.

I just discovered that my Military ID expires on Monday the 16th.   Supposed to

be on my birthday which would be next month - so someone screwed up.   I have to

find out what paperwork I need to renew the ID before Monday.   Sometimes they

want the sponsor (Geo.) to be present and sometimes I can get a authorization

from him notarized and he don't have to go.   Since the rules change so often, I

want to call first so Idon't make a run to Patrick AFB for nothing.   The good

thing is that this time, they will issue it for life.  No expiration date. 

Another reason why I need to know if I can renew it on my own or need Geo.   He

hates to go over there, which is why I go to get the prescriptions and the

commissary.

Norma, you have to include those stories in your memoirs. I have led a fairly

boring life, I've lived in the same county all my life, only been out of Ontario

once, for a weekend bowling tournament in Cincinatti, other than going shopping

in Detroit a couple of times. I think if I wrote my memoirs it would be more

like a pamphlet than a book, lol.

My dad was officially a veteran, but he got through basic training, went to

California and by the time the train arrived, the war was over. My sister has

some pictures of him and his buddies under the HOLLYWOOD sign. I have his army

photo when he was 18, my youngest son looks a lot like him.

hot and humid, going to 90



I set up another blog this morning, a LiveJournal one that I can post to

anytime. I can post with my Blackberry, IM, or even voice post with a phone

call. It's at: http://ejbradt.livejournal.com/



We got our new firepit yesterday, hubby had it made like the one at the

campground but it ended up bigger than he specified, he wanted 30" and it was

36" so he wasn't charged for labour, just materials. he won't have to cut the

fiewood now. It is made of 1/4" steel with a grate on top made with 1/2" square

steel rods. It will last longer than we will, it's going to be our family

heirloom we can pass down to future generations,lol.

We have another Extreme Heat Warning today.  The sprinklers are out everywhere. 

I wish I could have run through them.



Yesterday just before noon I got a call that I still have trouble believing.  I

didn't talk about it then and still feels funny to put it down.  My cousin was

killed in a wreck in Illinois.  He had to be identified by dental records.  The

cab of his truck burst into flames, and he could not get out. He was my brothers

best man many years ago.  He tormented my sister at work just the other day. 

You know, one of those good guys no one can say anything bad about.  He had just

told my brother a couple of days ago that in 6 months he would have enough time

in to retire from driving, and he was going to.  His wife Debbie had finished

treatment for breast cancer and her hair was growing back. I can't stop thinking

about how she feels.  They were so close.



There is a small article here:

http://www.tribtown.com/news/killed-23796-body-seymour.html



You never know what the day holds.





Sheri

That's terrible, Sheri. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sheri - I am so sorry for your loss.   What a horrible way to have to go.  Not

much one can say to ease the pain of such a horrible accident other then I am

sorry.

Had an early morning appointment with the Periodontist.   Came out and noticed

that a big shower must have occured while I was inside.   The car was wet and so

was the parking lot.

Got home and the heavens opened up again.   Not one drop on rain on me.

Geo. had surgery on his nose this morning.   He had a biopsy done about a month

ago and it was a melanoma so today they took the rest of it out and

reconstructed the skin to cover the hole.   Tomorrow he goes to another Dr. for

additional removal of one on his side cheek the same thing.   Weather cooler

today because of the rain.

Tomorrow I have an appointment in the a.m. to get my eyes examined and new

glasses.  Busy week.   Thursday Geo. had to go with me to Patrick to get my new

ID.    I need his signature and I have to get it before it expires next Monday

so this week is nothing but run, run and run.    The good thing is that after

this week it should all be done.

My stories will have to go on hold for a while.

Just for the record Sheri - I was not always a Gutsy person.   The life style

changed me to be able to do what had to be done.  A great improvement over the

old mousey me that people walked all over.

80 deg. this morning with a high of 90.  Maybe some showers later.   Tropical

depression down South of the Florida that may turn into a storm, so we will or

can get outter bands of rain.



Off to the optomatrist this morning for my annual eye exam and new glasses.  

Didn't get new frames last year, so looking forward to something new and a

little different this year.

A friend of my daughters from Virginia was on the plane crash in Alaska

yesterday.   Too much sad new lately, we are due for a change.

It's going to be another hot one.  Maybe storms later.  I am already hot though.

So same old stuff.



Have a nice day, Norma.  You too, Earline.



Sheri

We still have the Extreme Heat Warning out until 8 p.m. tonight.  This has been

a terrible summer for weather.



I have a busy day today.  Hope to do some research later.  Should be home by mid

afternoon.  Still on the Brock family.  I have some holes because I don't have

1830 and 1840 census access.  But even with that I have had to remove a couple

of my Henry's children and rearrange a few others.  I love it when you feel

right about the search!



Everyone have a good day!



Sheri

It's officially the hottest summer on record in our area, average is 3 days of

90+ temps., so far we've had 11 days and 2 more coming in the next few days and

there's still over a month to go.



I have started adding images to my tree on WeRelate, I wish that the images got

uploaded along with the gedcom. I figure the easiest way is to do one family at

a time. I started with my paternal grandfather's family since I have been

researching my loyalist lines.

Not too hot here today - 88 deg. with a nice breeze.   Left here at 7:00 this

morning to get over to the Base early.   At 7:30 they will take walk-ins without

an appointment to get the new ID's, and since we couldn't get an appointment

until the 18th, I had no choice but be a early walk in.   We were second in

line, and had to park half a mile from the building.   The Pharmacy and

commisary do not open until 8:30 so we went to BurgerKing for some coffee and

then I left Geo. at the Parmacy with the car and I walked about a mile to the

Commisary.  When he finished, he drove over and met me in the middle of the

store and helped me finish.  Then we came home and unpacked etc.   In the

meantime, I decided my new eye glasses we not adjusted properly and they tinted

the glass to dark.   So as soon as I put away the majority of the food, ran down

to Lenscrafters and left the new glasses there for fixen.   Have to pick them up

later this afternoon.   This whole week has been one errand after the other, but

when I finish up this afternoon, I am done for a while.



Earline, with that much work, I think I would be a little concerned that someone

can or will make changes that maybe are not correct and screw it all up.   Can

that Happen?   Can you revert the changes back?

Norma, I think you can make the pages semi-protected, others can add to the page

but can't remove anything.
