130 this rainy morning. Not sure why....oh well.

68° was the high yesterday. Today's forecast is 54°/38° with rain most of the day. Now some flooding may be a problem. Hopefully this really dampens down the fires though.

I'm tearing my hair right now trying to figure out how to save my hotmail account. I've been getting notices about it needing to have Modern Authentation Methods. I thought I had gone through the steps and had hotmail online not in my Mail. Yesterday I got the message again saying my account would be closed. 9/16/24 with out this new upgrade. Again I read through everything and for mac a choice was to download the app, which I did last night and it seemed to be working. This morning the notice is there again in the app. the instructions seem to be going in circles and are aimed more at windows than mac. I tried typing a simple request for directions on how to add the needed Authentication on mac and I get a page with all sorts of choices that don't seem to answer my question. I am so frustrated! I think I am going to need to call my friend and see if her husband can help me.  This is my main account for all important contacts. Sheeesh!  Sorry , /end rant

Not sure what you have to do there Barbara. My original account with the Microsoft email was Live.com and was changed to outlook.com but it was automatic and I didn't have to do anything. I also have another email at Gmail, Google, and use both but having to change to a new email address is a daunting task if you have to contact everyone and make a change. We depend on our email now to have contact with so many people and institutions it is really necessary nowadays.  I hope you are able to get it resolved.

Oh man, that is just what I am afraid of having to do. It was bad enough with the new bank account, changing emails will be horrendous. I'm so afraid of that happening! My friend's DH is a computer whiz so maybe he can understand what they want me to do. They don't get up until mid morning so I have to wait a bit to call them.....

My account is so old it is hotmail.com, I've had it forever.

127 this morning.

52° was the high yesterday. It rained on and off all day and into the evening. Today's forecast is 68°/43° cloudy in the morning and sunny in the afternoon.

The rain appears to have put out the fire by me and I expect most of the other ones. It was a good heavy rain!

Well, as it turns out the whole hotmail thing was some sort of scam that has been popping up over and over for years. I can usually spot these things but this one really copied Microsoft's headings well. Upon googling it, it seems when they started out they were pretty stupid. The emails were sent out saying hotmail was being shut down on Mar 2013, but they were sent May, 2013!! I guess they have gotten more sophisticated over the years. The ones I got started in June of this year with the last about 5 days ago. I need to change my password today. Sure had me frazzled for a while because I thought I was doing what was needed...

101 this morning. Our high yesterday was 93° so even cooler so nice. It is supposed to be a bit warmer today but still under 100° so staying where it is nicer.
The fires are still causing a lot of problems and getting into some towns causing a lot of damage and destroying more homes but they are making progress on containing them. The vegetation is so dry it is really hard to stop them.

Good Barbara. When I clicked on your Hotmail link it took me to the Outlook page that is now the new version but your hotmail address is still good the same as my Live.com address. It is automatic. Good to change your password though. I use a password manager and have changed many of my passwords to very long ones. It is kind of a pain but I think it is worth it.

I usually can spot the scams but this one had such realistic Microsoft pages and url's and it started so long ago, June this year, that it didn't occur to me it was fake.  Well, I am relieved, I was freaking out a bit about getting a new email out to everyone I use that addy for. It is my main, for all important things email!

108 this morning. Our high yesterday was 97° so a bit warmer but still under the 100° mark. It should be the same today.

Yeah, the scary thing is that the scammers can use an image that looks exactly like an actual web page from any institution like your bank or any other business you use and all it takes is for you to click on it and follow the instructions they give to get your information. I recently got a "message" form a scammer about my credit union that I use for my checking and savings that looked quite real. I never click on those links and log into my account to check to make sure that the message was fake.

129 this morning.

62° was the high yesterday. It was cloudy and some sun. The fires are out and the highest points on the mountains have a dusting of snow! Oh boy!

We got the cat door installed in the door to the kitty house and planned out replacing the broken window. After that another door on the side of the garage with little shelf steps up to it so the cats have 2 ways in and out. My friend is still recuperating so she has to tke it easy and I am pushing her to do just that!!

Now I have to get the cats used to using the door!

89 this morning. Our high yesterday was 96° and it is supposed to be a couple of degrees cooler today then a big drop tomorrow to 77° and it should be in the 80s for the rest of the week.
We have a "doggie door" on our back door going into the back yard and when I brought our dog home from the shelter she was actually afraid to use it and it took a while of pushing her in and out of the door but she finally got used to it and now she charges in and out of it. She was also not house broke so that took some time also but finally it sank in.

115 this morning.

68° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 68°/47° cloudy with rain showers possible in the morning. Weather looks to be settling in this range for the next 10 days. Feels like Fall is here. At least the major part of fire season is over for this area.

ETA: We tried to get Mama Millie to go through the door and she is so fat she had to wiggle her way through, the ferals are going to be harder as they aren't going to let me push them through, My friend says they'll get it but I think it is going to take some time...

65° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 74°/48° cloudy with possible light showers in the morning and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

My ankle feels pretty good today but the neck, though a bit better is still stiff and sore. After I take the garbage up to the road I want to go to PO and grocery store, I think my ankle will be OK with that but I'll have to take care with my neck. sheesh! I was just thinking beginning of last week haw good I was feeling and whamo, all of a sudden I wasn't!

97 this morning. Our high yesterday was 93° and it is going to be much cooler today with a predicted high of 77° as a front goes through. Of course that also means it is going to be windy but we should be in the 80s for the rest of the week then warming back into the 90s next week.
Yeah Barbara, just when we feel good and nothing hurts POW! something seems to pop up and we have to take care of that.

121 this morning.

70° was the high yesterday, today's forecast is 65°/50° cloudy with showers . A bigger system is passing through but we are just getting the edges here.

Got through my errands, ankle was OK but my neck is still bothering me. I guess the driving wasn't such a good idea. At least I don't have anywhere to be for the rest of the week so I can rest it.

103 this morning. Our high yesterday was a cool 75° and windy as expected and now it is going to warm up a bit but we should be in the 80s for the rest of the week.
Apple has now sent out the IOS 18 upgrade for all of their hardware so I spent about an hour yesterday installing the upgrade to all of my devices. I am actually surprised that I have so many now, phone, iPad, watch, MacBook and Apple TV. A few years ago I would never dream that I would own so many Apple devices but I do like them. I always upgrade any time a new version is offered as I want the security upgrade mostly but there is also some new things that are there that may be useful. I still use my Windows desktop computer for most of my on line activity.
