Snap Barbara, 107 for me today also.  We did get to 80° yesterday and it is supposed to be the same today.  It looks like we will have that string of nice and dry days here although it may be on the warm side but then I kind of like that.

Barbara, the fitbit logo looks like this :

Quote from: bigskygal on May 08, 2023, 10:28:22 AMYes, skb, I too often go back and remember the good times and it does make me smile. The good memories do sometimes lead to some not so good ones, but they are a part of the whole so I have to consider them too. They are all part of my life.
Yep. Life is a mixed bag and you have to take in your stride.

105 this cloudy morning.

62° was the high yesterday. Today's forecast is 58°/40° with periods of showers.
My bug spray people are coming this afternoon. Hope it stays dry enough for the spray to set between showers. Kind of worried how kitties will take the intrusion. Fortunately the next 9 days look like really nice days. Looking forward to that!

79 this morning.  We got to 81° yesterday with the wind picking up in the afternoon and it is supposed to be the same today.  Starting tomorrow we are going to get into the 90s and it looks like we will be there for the next few days.
A crew came yesterday and ran the "drop" which is the line from the main lone running on the poles to the house, all of our utilities are running above ground on poles, power, telephone and internet cables.  Now on Thursday a tech. will come and finish hooking us up to the fiber line that now in attached to the house.  I don't really expect to see any real difference as our cable service is running at 300Mbps and that is as fast as necessary for anything I do but better reliability is my hope.

Ours is set at 30 Mbps but we get around 20-25 Mbps downloads and even that is good enough. That's good enough for the TV, computers and the Camera. At some point of time we will all switch to satellite and cables will be a thing of the past. The satellites are in place, when will the service be consumer friendly.

107 this morning.  Our high yesterday was 80° and is supposed to be the same today then we warm up starting tomorrow and will be in the 90s.
I had satellite internet when I was on the mountain as it was the only option.  That was before Starlink which advertises from 50-200 Mbps   but I was getting around 25-30Mbps and like you said it was good enough for most things.  The biggest problem was the cap at 25 GB per month then you got throttled down and the best you could do was maybe some email and it was expensive.  I think that the Starlink is going to be a big thing for areas that don't have a faster method to access the internet.

Snap again Wally! 107 this cloudy morning.

60° was the high yesterday, just a few showers early in the day. Today's forecast is 67°/40° some clouds but no rain...Yay!

Today was weigh day...124.8# (down 1.7# from last time again normal fluctuation I suppose) not worrying about it. Dr. wants record so I do it...

Laundry day and will go outside and uncover cat beds and put rags back in them as looks like a nice dry spell coming. Otherwise, lazy day, saving energy for errands end of the week.

Well, form what I can tell my internet speed is pathetic. I ran one of those tests and got .66 Mbps download and .54Mbps upload. Test says slow well duh! Seems to be good. enough for me as I don't stream on computer just watch a few YouTube clips. Not a lot of options available here. I use Century Link which is cable.

That seems pretty low for a cable. I suggest you call someone and have them check your connection. Those speeds are like the dial-up modem age or maybe even slower.

Hmmm, maybe I will give them a call and see if there is anything they can do to get my speed up.

109 this sunny morning.

65° was the high yesterday. Worked outside getting kitty beds and their boxes they sun on all set up with soft rags again. Looks to be dry for a while. Today's forecast is 70°/40° and dry, yay!

I need to call the clinic where my new pcp is located. They sent "new patient" forms for me to fill out. Pages and pages of history which really annoys me. This clinic is in the same group as current pcp. All they have to do is look me up on their computer to see my last 18-19 years of medical history. It is all already in their files. If they need hard copy for their files, can't they just print it out? There are a couple of consent forms that I will sign but the history....argh!

80 this morning.  We had a high of 82° yesterday and it is heading to 86° today and keeping on a warming trend through the weekend. 
Yeah Barbara I imagine that is a package that they send to any "new" patient but since it is the same clinic I would not think that they would need it from you as you are not really a new patient.
Yeah like SKB said for cable you should really have decent speeds and what you are showing just doesn't look right.  Download speed on my cable is around 300Mbps so something isn't right.

103 this sunny morning.

69° was the high yesterday, a few sprinkles in the afternoon. Today's forecast is 75°/43° and sun (but Mother Nature had other ideas for a bit yesterday so who knows?). It was 32° when I got up this morning just before 7AM so still cold nights. With the bright sun and dry weather I have already had to feed the hungry yard tigers! It is light so much earlier now they expect to eat right now Mom!

Got side tracked and didn't call Clinic yesterday. It is on today's must do list. Errands tomorrow.

85 this morning.  We got to the predicted 86° yesterday and it is heading to 92° today and no wind, yeah! 
The new fiber internet was installed yesterday and it is fast as advertised, over 900Mbps down and up.  The up speed is not really a benefit for our use but would be important to someone that is addicted to on-line gaming.  The main thing I am looking for is reliability as the other company would not replace old worn out equipment and it showed.  Now I have to go through the house and reconnect everything that uses the internet using the new password for the new modem including the TVs, my weather station, outdoor cameras and probably something I am not thinking of.
