Shorts and T-shirt weather / Running out of space

This past week it has been nothing but shorts and t-shirt weather. While the mornings have been gray and foggy by noon the sun has been making an appearance making it warm and charging my solar lights. I have not had to turn on the heater and I am saving money which is good because yesterday I received the invoice from Western Air Conditioning for the services they provided last month.

I now know that they repaired a short in 24V wiring and replaced 3 blown AMP fuses, actually it was a very reasonable $57.36. While I like them I hope I do not have to see them again anytime soon.

I am running out of space in Google Photos and I really do not want to have to pay a monthly fee but it looks like I do not have much choice. I messed up my computer a few years back and if I try to upload from my phone to my PC it loads them without paying attention to the date so I am not able to keep them in chronological order.

I am also running out of space for my food prepping. When I purchase my supplies I write the date I bought them and the price I paid for them. One of the Prepper Channels I watch suggested it was better to write the expiration date but I check that when I make my purchase so I know which products will expire sooner.

I also have to download the pictures I have in PhotoBucket before they erase them. I think I have already lost some that I had posted on this blog back when I had inferior internet service through DISH and Cricket.

We have added two kittens to our already large feline family. When I find the time I will write about that in my other blog. Here is a teaser photo 💓

Gasoline prices continue to go down...$2.539 for regular unleaded and $4.099 for Diesel fuel.

This Skoolie had just crossed the border from México and it made me wonder where they had been and if they had a YouTube Channel would love to see how they have it set up inside. I tried to get a glimpse of their license plate but with so many stickers and I presume a motorcycle (?) it was hard to tell. I was hoping they would turn at HEB but they headed east on highway 90 so I was not able to satisfy my curiosity. 😄

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Yardwork / Ross / DD's / Miscellaneous Purchases

You know how Google Photos sends albums of what you did last year and/or 2 years ago... It was then that I saw how out of control the yard was at this same time period in comparison to now. I suppose I have to credit the freeze and the twelve inches of snow we received this year for it still being manageable. With that in mind, I have been doing some yard work and was able to fill a 55-gallon contractor bag of garden debris.

Yesterday I drove into town to pick up the mail and decided to stop at Ross a store I have not been to for months. Immediately saw an item I could use for my bad back.

I liked the fact that it could be strapped either to your car seat or in my case my chair as I did last night.

I was not looking for this next item but I could not pass up these Cedar Hanger Rings for only $2.99.

At another time in my life, I would have bought this tea kettle solely because it came in a lovely color and could be used as a decorative piece...glad I am over that phase.

Not a bad price either.

I was near DD's which is owned by the same company that owns Ross and has very reasonable prices. I use Olive Oil on my salads and even though this is Canola Oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil you can not beat the price.

The following item was like it was waiting for me to show up to purchase it. I have no idea how to use it but perhaps someone that comes to help me (Triple-A guy) might be able to make it work. I  bought it without hesitation and left it in my glove box.

DD's has a lot of As Seen On TV items at discount prices. As you know I have no use for my cellphone other than taking pictures. I usually carry it in a separate bag in my purse that is hard to get to when driving. A couple of years ago I bought one of these from Amazon paying four times as much for mine so I could have the phone near me...it did not work out in the end and is somewhere in my many containers.

This evening we are expecting thunderstorms per KENS-5 they are currently falling in the northern part of Val Verde County.  I have my rain catchment ready to harvest however much mother nature decides to send our way.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
