They probably added the climate-appropriate air when they changed the tires...but it wouldn't hurt to stop at your full-service station and ask the attendant on duty to check the oxygen level of the winter air in your tires. I believe AAA recommends we do this within two weeks of the time change. Improves gas mileage too, a win-win situation. I think the reason truck tires are so costly is because mostly guys drive trucks and we're impulse buyers...we're hungry, we buy food...thirsty, buy beer...need tires, buy tires...and unless Mom is there keeping a weather eye on the salesman...(saleswomen can do no harm)...we get took often. But...we keep up with things like winter/summer air.

You could be right about the impulse buying--probably why men's clothes rarely go on sale (or at least not as often as women's).

You know you're killing me with winter/summer air. Now I have to look it up and find out if that's real or I'm the biggest fish in the pond Thank goodness for the internet.

Feeling a little pressure?

Good morning, everyone. Chilly and rainy here, supposed to be rainy all day. Only 42 right now, real feel of 37. High of only 51 today, and still calling for the rain to transition to snow early tomorrow. High of 39 tomorrow. Perfect! All the gloom matches my mood.

Kids are doing well adjusting to school life again. My Grandma saw a specialist in Denver last week about her eye. The news is that it is healing, just slowly. She is getting impatient and frustrated with it, but it is healing. So that is something to be happy about!

I am going to try to read today, haven't read a word since July and it's starting to really frustrate me. I am missing it. Just can't seem to turn off the worry part of my brain to enjoy anything though.

Hope you all have a great day today. Sending big hugs and positive vibes to all!

Doesn't sound like a beach day, CAT...............

 

[cat in a bag]

Nope, not a beach day. I know my dad has been frustrated with the weather too, it's time to start bean harvest and it's been too wet to get to them. Not the best time to be getting rain or the first freeze. (Although I don't think they are supposed to freeze there yet, it's a worry.)

I can see the Hows The Weather thread blowing up these next few months if your forecast is any indication, Cat.
Maybe you need to try an author or genre you've never tried, something really different. We need to get the other parts of your mind kicking in.

I read pretty much everything except bodice ripper type romance books. I pulled down A Prayer for Owen Meany yesterday, have never read that. I saw Lonesome Dove mentioned in the reading thread, and I looove that book, thought about starting that. Then I think, I have the first two of the Ken Follett Century trilogy waiting too, but the size of them makes me sigh...usually the bigger the book, the more excited I am. Then I think, I'll pull something King down, that will surely work! My brain just wants to go in 50 different directions.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe something very light and funny?

Those are two of my top 5 books ever (Owen Meany and Lonesome Dove)! Have you tried Jen Lancaster? She makes me laugh (most of the time). Or maybe an old stand by like Erma Bombeck? I also like Jan Karon's Mitford series: nice stories about nice people in a nice town. She makes me laugh as well, because I recognize so many 'types' from Thermopolis (where my family is from).

Thermopolis! That was one of our favorite vacation spots growing up. My dad still goes there at least once every winter.

Owen Meany is funny and uplifting, isn't it? I haven't read any Jen Lancaster or the Mitfors series, will look them up, thank you for the suggestions!

I've read about a dozen of the Janet Evanovich/ Stephanie Plum novels. They are light and repetitive but usually good for a giggle and diverting enough to take up a few hours.

Wow - I can't imagine being that cold already. It's supposed to be 93 here today, rain moving in tonight and then cooling things off for the weekend. I would truly enjoy a little rain everyday.

Enjoy your reading time - wishing you peace and a break from the worry - you know it doesn't change anything, but I know it's hard not to do it. I use a practice I learned from a priest friend - detachment. It helps.

Uplifting reading: I second Erma Bombeck, Janet Evanovich, and I'll add Fannie Flagg - oh my gosh: Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man - made me laugh out loud. She's just great!

Happy Hump Day everyone!!
Finally two days off from work. Was a busy workday and my feet is sore, I am not use to stand still many minutes as we do we when serve our
customers. I am use to run around as a crazy in work and do stuff all the time, then my feet not get sore.
Still warm here 21C/70F middle of the day and today it's been sunny most of the day.
I took it easy after work, read Dolores Claiborne and fall asleep on the couch. I have to stay awake for Under the Dome tonight, I can't miss it.

Tina- I am so sorry to hear about the snow, please stay safe. Hope you find a good book and can take it easy and read. Happy
to hear about your grandmother.

Dammit, boss just called me, I promised to go to work tomorrow. OK my own fault I promised to go, so I go now. A co worker is sick.
Well if I look it from the bright side I can be happy when it's the payday. My two days off turned into a one day off.

Take care everyone and be well. Stay safe too.

((((all in need or not))))

Sorry to rain on your parade lepp but I don't think this bag exists, looks to me like the logo has been photo shopped.

Aw... NOOOOOOOOOO! *sniffles*
I'd take it with just the Union Jack, though. Happily.

That is lovely, but way too small for a notebook. I bet you could craft something very near to it, and in the perfect size.

I use one of those little chubs notebooks. It would fit

Sorry, just catching up on the last few posts.

I enjoyed Thermopolis. Went to a dig there and visited their museum, which was quite impressive for that size of a town.

Went to the cardiologist. Good numbers on the cholesterol screen. He told me to come back in a year. I guess he's not too worried. I'm going to take that as good news.

I've turned into an old man who says, "Went to the cardiologist." I mean, I'm glad I got this far, but ... man, I didn't see myself as being this person. The turns that life takes. If you're lucky.

I really liked A Prayer for Owen Meany! I remember it was pretty funny but I'm not so sure about uplifting.

Wow. This makeup artist is amazing. She did herself up to look like different celebs using nothing but contouring and makeup.
