Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? Man, did I have a case of the Mondays yesterday. I don't know if the weather or my back issue threw me off more, but I only got through the first 2-3 items on the to-do list. By the time we hit mid-afternoon, BDH and Little Buddha agreed we should throw in the towel and get ready for today. Oof. Fortunately, I feel better now, and the "real feel" high temperature is supposed to hit a balmy 57 degrees, so here's hoping things go smoother this time. Let's check out the headlines. The...

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. Today is May 19, and BDH and Little Buddha just told me the current "real feel" is 43 degrees. Say what now? Last night's howling wind is apparently expected to last all day, and then we have showers coming this afternoon. That's not a fun weather report, guys. I'm also dealing with a bit of a back issue at the moment, so we'll have to revisit the to-do list after we finish here. Speaking of which, let's get to work. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What's the plan for this weekend? Our crew has been running around all week, so I'm pretty sure we're going to take it easy. I wish I had something new for BDH and Little Buddha to read, but they told me not to worry about it. They're happy to watch the Red Sox and Doctor Who, and relax for a while. Works for me. Let's take a gander at today's headlines. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? I think I've mostly recovered from dealing with this week's compost delivery. Now I'm just sore from overdoing it in the garden in general. However, that tends to be my usual state of being from now through late September. BDH and Little Buddha are still trying to understand today's weather forecast. They think we're getting some rain later this morning, but they're not sure if that will be it for the entire day. I guess we'll have to play it by ear and adjust the to-do list as needed. Let's check out the... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! How are you? It's been a crazy few days on this end, but it's so good to be back with all of you again. We had a celebration of Dad Clutter's life this past Sunday. It was a lovely event that gave his family and friends the chance to share some terrific memories. A variety of emotions were involved, but I think we did right by him, which is all I wanted. Monday saw the arrival of our annual compost delivery for the garden. It usually comes in the afternoon, but the nursery folks were here... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How's your week going? We're plugging away on this end. BDH and Little Buddha just gave me my marching orders for today. The to-do list isn't too crazy, and the guys said we'll have more nice weather before things cool off tomorrow, so this should be fun. Programming note: Due to a combination of events over the next few days, we will be out of the office from Friday until probably Wednesday (apart from this weekend's Doctor Who review.) We'll post any changes on our Facebook page, but try not to get into too much trouble... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? BDH and Little Buddha were just telling me that we might actually get a pause in the rain today, and that the high temperature should be 70 degrees. I can work with that. Plus, the guys said today's to-do list isn't all that long, which is also good news. I suspect they're giving me some time off because we have a busy stretch coming up soon. Those two are always looking out for me. Let's get started. There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, so grab yourself a nice medium DD,... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back. How are you? BDH and Little Buddha just told me the weather forecast now calls for a chance of heavy rainfall at some point today, but it doesn't specify when. Can't say I love that. Hopefully it just won't be while I'm driving, because that's never a fun situation. Are you ready to get started? Let's do this. The guys made a fresh pot of coffee, so grab yourself a nice medium DD, because it's time to clear out some Tuesday Clutter. Donald Trump is scheduled to meet new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Monday to you all. We hope you had a good weekend. No complaints on this end, apart from the Red Sox losing two games they should have won. BDH and Little Buddha are hard at work on this week's to-do list. There's a lot of rain in the forecast, so several things will probably need to be moved around on the schedule. It also looks like we will be out of the office for a stretch soon, but we'll get back to that later. In the meantime, let's check out the headlines. There's... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back, and a happy Friday to you all. What are you up to this weekend? BDH and Little Buddha say the forecast calls for rain, so that will probably keep me out of the garden. We've got a busy stretch coming up later this month, so I wouldn't mind a little quiet time, actually. Maybe our crew will just watch the Red Sox and listen to the new Mammoth song a few more hundred times. Yeah, that sounds like a plan. Let's see what's happening in the news. The guys made a fresh pot of coffee, so... Read more →
