...and 150kw 3-phase transfer switches are "fun" when they go wrong. (I could provide you with the appropriate tee-shirt, but it's somewhat singed round the edges after the last "event")

If my home had a generator, it would be one of those battery units made by EcoFlow hooked up to Solar and of course it would need a shelf built above my washer and dryer here. Of course my home will never see an ecoflow, my search.

This is getting to be really boring real fast being hobbled and not being able to do much at all.

We also reached 18C (felt like 16C) here before scattered showers and lite rain started to show up around the area.

Oh well I guess that I'll take a break from streaming catch ups and go back to my book again.

Cheers.

The sun is going down too quickly. It's not giving the snow a chance to melt. Oh well guess I am not driving over the pass anytime soon.

As soon as my card gets here I'm taking my gf shopping for food, as they are out of everything.

I need to buy some food too, though not as much.

The DARK times are upon us all. The predicted low here is 37F.

Temp: 46 F(8 C) and Clear
Wind Speed: WNW 4 mph (6 kph)
Wind Gusts: 0 mph (-- kph)
Humidity: 18%
Dewpoint: 5 F (-15 C)
Visibility: 10.00 mi (16 km)
Barometer: 30.1 in (1019.6 mb)
Air Quality: 34 (Good)
Daylight: 10:09 (Hrs:Mins)

Well that weather soon headed north so that we could make it to 19C (felt like 17C) and as the sun is about to set we're back to 15C (feels like 13C) with 9C expected in the morning.

Anyhow it's back to being bored.

Cheers.

No... I don't think so... as the Australian summer soon will also begin in Wiggo's Highlands.

Yes from Sunday for a few days we'll certainly be treated to some late spring/early summer weather before more rain returns cooling things off again.

I also got sick of trying to keep this bandage up on my leg so this late this afternoon I decided to take it off and re-wrap the thing back on a bit tighter so that it wouldn't slip down again before tomorrow's removal and a proper shower and in doing so I soon sprung a leak, but at least wasn't a bloody 1 this time and those stitches arn't pulling so much now. Oh well I've taken my antibiotics of which I still have 3 days worth of and added an absorbent pad over the leak so that I can go to bed without worrying about leaking onto my nice new sheets.

Anyhow that bed part sounds good right now.

Cheers.

So the Australians have stolen our sunlight?

You just can't trust these antipodeans!

Yes finally we'll get a sunny weekend here without any chance of that wet stuff falling from the sky for a change.

We got off to an 11C (felt like 9C) start while 24C is expected.

Anyhow it's coffee time.

Cheers.

Waiting for a Milestone to get here.

Went and retrieved my mail today.

Upon returning I had to back into my parking space as the back half had someone else's car in my way.

I've had a song stuck in my head, something about Duncan and Immortal.

Coffee is better here if I level of my scoops, I should have done that weeks ago.

So far no surprises. It's 82F in here, 71 outside, low of 46 predicted, and it's Sunny outside.

Of course there is no garlic here, I used to enjoy garlich butter on toasted bread.

Well I caught up the watering of my veggies, pulled a 10L bucket of carrots, enjoy a few beers and a feed at the pub before removing the dressing off of my leg and having a decent shower followed by several hours of not having a dressing on at all. I just wish that those doc's dressings didn't always leave me with an itchy rash and I certainly have a fair divot in my shin with about 8 stitches in it (hard to tell exactly how many due to many crossovers), but at least they're not pulling at me anything like they were. Now I'm trying to wash down 1 of those horse caps that has got stuck partway down.

We also reached 25C (felt like 24C) here today.

Anyhow I've now put a medistrip over my shin as I'm ready to prepare for another lazy Sunday.

Cheers.

A cloudy sunday morning win.

Well after a 13C (felt like 12C) start here we reached 25C (felt like 24C).

Anyhow after a full Sunday it's time to put a patch back on my leaky leg and hit the sack.

Cheers.

I asked my brother if he knew anything about our stepmothers remains. He said he didn’t know. So I will ask my dad about the matter. Last I knew he was waiting on the death certificate and a cremation permit from the state. I’ll ask him about it this Thursday when I visit.
I was dismayed to learn that a funeral cremation service was not doing their contracted job. Watching the new and heard a crematorium was substituting dirt for remains. Around 200 decomposing bodies were located on site grounds.
I am going to ask my dad if he will use a service provider that will let one of us three to push the button to start the process.

I'm battling some pain in my left arm, in my elbow, I took a muscle relaxant pill and 4 pills to handle the pain, which is likely either a sore muscle or arthritis.

I washed all the dishes, in the morning I could have eggs and sausage or pancakes, I don't have to make coffee at least as I was not too thirsty today.

3 of the 4 litterboxes have been dealt with and I used some carpet cleaner for cats on the carpet near the litterbox near my sofa.

I'm waiting for a piece of mail to arrive that was sent out on the 18th, it might be here on Monday or on Tuesday.

So far I've not seen any new insects, but then I keep giving them a tour of the plumbing everytime I do find one.

Sorry to hear Admiral.
I`m speechless.

Yeah that's not good to hear Admiral.

After a 12C (felt like 11C) start here today we reached 26C (felt like 25C) with a warmer day expected tomorrow.

I had a couple of childhood friends visit me today so several hours were spent at the pub reminiscing on stuff from over 60yrs ago and catching up on what's been going on in our lives since over drinks and a feed so a good, but long, day was had here so I've padded up my still leaking leg and I'm ready for bed with the hope that I don't wake up after only a few hours sleep like the last 2 nights. Hopefully the antihistamine I just took will stop me waking up in the wee hours with a terribly itching leg like the last couple of nights.

I really reckon that there's something about those doctors' dressings and bandages that just doesn't agree with me and my retired nurse friend who was here today said that it is a good possibility, but she was happy enough with the wound itself even if the degree of the rash was surprising.

Anyhow it's past time for me to toddle off.

Cheers.

I speechless, as I was when I heard the story on the news some time ago. Unfortunately I don't know about crematories that aren't in California.

What you are looking for is a "Witness Cremation"

If the doctor won't (or can't) sign the Death Certificate that can be a huge monkey wrench. Then the coroner gets involved with delays. Once the DC is finalized the rest of the permits should happen very quick.

Your state should have a licensing bureau and they should be able to tell you about any actions against the companies you have selected.

Again so sorry to hear of your loss.
