123. I got my booster shot yesterday, just a sore arm and a runny nose.

Up early, forgot. 111 after a morning walk in foggy 49F weather.

110 today. Cold and foggy, glad I had hash and one egg over easy.

103 today, foggy again.

105 today. I'll just stick with bacon and eggs thank you. I'll eat eggs just about any way you can fix them.

114 today when I woke up at 4:30. I used to love " italian hash" for breakfast at the Keys cafe, order without potatoes and it was wonderful with eggs over easy; did not eat the toast which was a shame, it was served with their own scrummy raspberry jam, more like spreadable fruit really - I licked the spoon though :) . KEYS ITALIAN HASH Our famous Italian sausage with mushrooms, onions, green peppers, tomatoes (and hash browns). https://www.keyscafe.com/restaurants/white-bear-lake-mn#menu

This morning's reading was 124. As for scrapple* they say it is an acquired taste, one in which I never acquired... thankfully. The eggs and mayo sounds like something I might want to try. I am always trying stuff to mix with eggs. Stuff like French onion dip, bacon horseradish dip, buffalo cream cheese, and ordinary stuff like milk or cream. I tried water but I didn't care for it, it thinned out the eggs too much for my tastes. *My grandmother made is once and it was not a big hit. My father called scrapple and spam depression era food. He hated spam I guess because of WWII it was one of the main rations, as Monty Python said, "...egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam..."

Last night was 98, so this mornings 104 seems right.

On this TGIF morning my reading was 130 Sunset Wednesday night, the bridge to Lieutenant Island, the road is under water at high tide which was higher than normal because of the new moon.

7.4 Snuggled into bed ready for a good nights sleep when I heard an interview on the radio with a lawyer about the practical issues of a " power of attorney". Ooops, that knocked the sand out of my eyes.

87 this morning.

146 On the way up yesterday when I got to town there was a traffic jam on the only road through town... Hmm, I wonder what happened? An accident? A fire? No. It was an Oyster Slam! What the heck is an Oyster Slam? It turned out that micro-brewery, oyster farm, and a restaurant got together to for beer, oysters, and live music on a Saturday to party. It looked like a smashing hit judging by all the people packed in the parking lot listen to the bands.

154 Drove the hour up to GA yesterday and picked up mom and brought her back to my house for the weekend. Nasty weather here all day yesterday and right now. Rain, rain, rain, windy, and chilly. 48F in FL this morning.

Every year I go to a fundraiser for the free health collective where I volunteer, they used to have at a rubber chicken venue but then they changed it to an excellent conference center and the food is first rate (a ticket is $125). Their clientele also improved! The governor and Hartford mayor usually pops in to shake a few hands then pop out. Their auction you don't want to rub your ear because you might find out that you just bid $10,000 for a weekend condo on the Cape or a trip to New York City for a Broadway play, dinner, and a hotel room. But you know what I liked the rubber chicken better and there used to be people there that I knew, now it is all stuffed shirts and I leave after auction. But I still donate one of my photos for the silent auction for a tax deduction, last year the photo went for $150, I do it mainly to watch the bidding on the photo.

I think 107 early this morning. back from groceries.

104 after coffee this morning.

6.9 I'm not paranoid but...is everyone at a christmas party & didnt invite me? My groceries have arrived & occasionally I get something I didnt order like coffee pods, rice crackers etc but todays is a mango. * stress * I just know I'm going to eat that & my BG will tell on me.

me too, 104 today. Now to bundle up and walk. 47 outside

137. I have to fix my mailbox, it got knocked down Friday night. I am doing a temporary fix but I have a property management coming on Wednesday to give me a price on replacing it. I have a number of small projects that needs to be done, I have a couple of thermopane windows that after 30 years they are no longer insulating. I replaced a couple of them by myself but it is getting too much for me now and for these you need a ladder. He did work to my neighbor, he is licensed and insured, I checked with BBB and online. So my thoughts are give him some small jobs, the mailbox and the windows and see how he does. If he does good then I will see if he wants to sand and paint the atrium.
