Thanks to all of you for the birthday wishes.
The repairman arrived and replaced the recline mechanism in my new loveseat and sofa. Just as he was leaving, I started getting phone calls from family and friends with birthday wishes and a chance to catch up a bit.
I went to dinner and had an excellent ham & cheese omelette, three strips of bacon, perfectly toasted white bread, and a glass of orange juice. I had just finished eating, and there on the wall was a huge picture of a warm fudge brownie with a scoop of ice cream. I couldn't resist.
So now I'm back at home feeling fat and lazy.
The plan was to go out to Pueblo Lake State Park and do some rockhounding tomorrow. The forecast calls for sunny and 93, so no. Friday is much better at 77 and cloudy.
Since I got my temporary driver's license yesterday, tomorrow I will head over to the county revenue office and get my Jeep registered and new license plates. I can chill out in the AC, then go to the lake on Friday.
@Northern Star Girl mentioned in your blog that early snow indicates a long winter. I was chatting with my uncle today, and he agrees. He does small engine repairs out of his garage, and an early Colorado winter means good business for him, repairing snow blowers and snowmobiles. In summer, his business is lawnmowers and dirt bikes. He also said that not only is it expected to be an early and long winter, but also a brutal one. < sigh > I left the Midwest and moved to the desert (not far from New Mexico) to avoid the brutal winters.
It is almost time for me to crash and burn, but before I go to bed, I need to see if the Powerball drawing gave me a birthday present.
