111 this cloudy morning.

42° was the high yesterday. Forecast for today is 42° with overnight of 26°.

Glad you are OK Grammabear! I hear you re all the appointments I had my share earlier this year. Monday I see the eye dr then I'm through for the year.

73 this morning.

As the day progresses, so does my BG numbers.  I have had this problem for days in spite of constant adjustments.  Now I think I know why because at the ear doctor yesterday she said I have an ear infection.  She has prescribed steroid ear drops for two weeks and then I return for a recheck.  Except for the odd earache I didn't know I had the infection.  Still tired of going to the doctor, will be glad when this is done.

101 this morning.  It looks like the rain is out of here for a few days and temps will be in the high 50s to low 60s. 
Missing Tamagno this morning so hope all is OK.

Sorry to be so late - I'm just now catching up with myself today. I somehow way overslept and then had to make the drive to pick up contrast fluid for CAT scan Monday (speaking of endless appointments).

Wally, my Mac Pro comment was made with tongue firmly in cheek. I'll be much more interested in what you put together yourself.

127 this morning.

A better night than usual.

It'll be nothing but cold today, so shortly I'll get ashes out of the stoves and get them running. No snow today, I hope, but I doubt we'll get up to 30.

It is just 28 deg F here today, no snow, but it sure looks like we could get some anytime.

Hope everyone is warm and safe.  We have a lot of "in house" chores to get caught up on today.

96 this morning.  We got a little bit of rain overnight.  Not a lot but it is wet outside.  You have to love the weather guys.  Yesterday it showed only a 10% chance of rain for only a couple of days for the next 10 days.  Today it shows a 40-50% chance of rain every day for the next 10 days !   ~tnk~
At least it is not going to be cold and the rain is a very good thing.

112 this mostly cloudy morning. Slept poorly last night so am dragging today.

41° was the high yesterday. Today's forecast is 42° with overnight of 32° with possibility of snow late tonight. It is 32° now so I'm not sure 42° will happen. Snow still in the forecast for tomorrow, but it doesn't look like there will be much.

Yeah Wally, sometimes I think the more accurate predictor is to look out the window and see what is actually happening.

Only 15 here this morning with no precipitation.

Moreover, experience has taught me that may not be at all reliable...

What a wonderful comment bigskygal.

98 bs this morning.

I received the Dexcom G6 systems several days ago and finally have it set up correctly, I think.  Last night it was within 4 points of my blood glucose meter - so that was a good thing.

Weather here is just 32 deg and cold.  Some of the farmers are still harvesting field corn which is really late for that process.

88 this morning.  It is going to be a cloudy day but probably no rain today.  It always cracked me up to be driving in the pouring rain and the person on the radio who is in a studio with no windows is reading the weather report saying that it is partly cloudy with no rain for today.  If they only did look out a window maybe they wouldn't be broadcasting nonsense.
Yeah Tamagno, looking out the window is probably not reliable to predict the coming weather but if you look out the window and it is raining you can be pretty sure that it is going to rain that day.   `8)

110 this partly cloudy morning.

42° was the high yesterday. Forecast today was for 41° and it hit that a bit ago. Overnight forecast 21°. Had some drizzly rain during the day, no snow at all. I have to go to the eye dr tomorrow and it makes me happy there was no snow. Pretty sure new glasses are in the future, it seems all the labels have gotten smaller and it is harder to see the birds out the windows.

High this morning - looks like the new insertion set I put in yesterday is no good - likely have to change it shortly.

Grammabear, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the G6! A number of new features that look very cool.

Having a CAT scan this afternoon, so no eating or drinking after 11am. Tedious, but I'll live.

Cold this morning but headed into the low 50s later. Predicted high Thursday is 57.
