May flowers break room 4/30 to 5/6 2017

The last day of April is here and May begins.
To Do List:
Remember the wife's birthday.
Remember our 36th wedding anniversary.
It was a pretty dry April, so I don't think there will be very many flowers until June. Days are getting longer and warmer, about 16 hours now.
Still no one around so I feed the dragon and took the seal for a walk.
Later

Good morning from Paradise where it is warmer than normal, but still wonderful. Warm enough that it is that time of the year not to leave hand tools in the sun for more than 10 minutes, or else ................ ouch!

Korfee, ph00 and hot water is ready. Somebody else bring some munchies.

Off to continue to try to whittle down my growing to-do list. There is something drastically wrong with this picture. Howcum the more I work, the more work gets added to the list?

Ciao.

Sounds like you are busy too. Moving "big" girl to more private quarters - - nice. Come on down - - I have lots of stuff you can do down here. Stan, come too and I can have a long list for you here. Yeh, while I go on vacation.

Finally back home - - weather has cooled down some but still in the high 80's - - one of our warmest April on record. Several days broke the record high by over 10 degrees - - and humid. Plants sure seem to love it.

Grabbing my ph00 and out of here.................

Good morning to a beautiful blue ski and cool breezes (finally) after a nice and much needed rain last night. Put some fresh coffee and ph00 on for y00 along with fresh apple fritters. Enjoy. Off to try and figure why my sis-in-laws AC unit is being fickle. GGGGRRRRRR

Good afternoon/evening. It's too hot for phoo, coffee or tea. We are still having unusually hot weather here and every day for the about the last week the daily temps are in the 31 - 34C range. Never seen it so hot in all my time here.

Claude, you mentioned a Mayflower and for some reason my mind went back a few decades to a car that I owned. It was a Triumph Mayflower. Google it. I called it my mini Rolls. It had an anemic 4 cylinder engine that needed frequent head gasket changes. I eventually cut the top off and turned it into an open air vehicle. Can't call it a convertible because I never made a ragtop for it.

See y'all later, like tomorrow. Maybe.

Claude, I remember those cars. My boss at the time drove one. His wife hated it as she was a rather large woman.

Coffee, hot water and ph00 is ready.

Another hot day starting down here.

Adios

The Minx had just about as much power as the Mayflower. Top speed about 60 MPH downhill and with the wind behind you. Lousy brakes.
