You know how people say they can predict the weather by the body parts that hurt? I've decided it's not the weather, it's the barometric pressure that causes previously broken bones to ache. Yeah, I've been thinking about this because the ankle that I probably broke (but never went to a doctor for) a few years back is shrieking at me. Oh, and my broken bones scream at me in reverse order - newest to oldest - which is why that ankle is taking the stage ahead of the foot, the pelvis, the thigh, or the collar bone. Actually I'm kinda thankful the pelvis breaks are being quiet. When those hurt, it feels like someone kicked me in the crotch. Not fun.
Potatoes. The package of seedling potatoes I bought says 90-120 days from planting to harvest. Several sites online say you harvest potatoes after the green parts turn brown and die back. I need to research this further because why would they die back if they're happy and well-fed in the greenhouse?? But if that's not the key indicator, how will I know if they're ready at 90 days or at 120 days or somewhere along the way? It's not like I can see the potatoes growing under the dirt there. I told Hubs I need ground-penetrating radar, like they use to look for bodies, but small so I can look for potatoes.
I've been procrastinating about going shopping, so I really have to go today. I have Old Mother Hubbard's freezer. There's one chicken breast and one container of soup. Oh, and a boatload of frozey-pops. This does not bode well for a yummy dinner, so off to Wallyworld later this morning. The cats are also down to one can of food, which is tragic. Or will be if I don't get them more food today.
Hubs just came in with the coffee pot to refill my mug. I picked it up and hovered over it like Golem, saying 'my precious'. We laughed... well, I laughed anyway.
Roku 'monsters' channel was having an Abbott and Costello marathon yesterday - A&C Meet Frankenstein, A&C Meet the Invisible Man, A&C Meet the Mummy. I watched part of the first and part of the last. (The Invisible Man one was never my favorite.) I used to have the mummy one on VHS. I do love me some Abbott and Costello.
Speaking of The Mummy, the best book of that sub-genre is Anne Rice's - The Mummy (or Ramses the Damned). I think it's her best book, but that's me.
Okay, I'd better get back to marketing. (Not that it's doing me much good, but it's better than nothing.) Have a great day wherever you are. Peace out.
I have no clue about potates but if you dig some up and they're smallish, you can have "new potatoes". I mean, I don't think "new potatoes" are actually their own species.
ReplyDeleteI hit Wallyworld first thing this morning. Then Jake and I went to the vet's for a tail check. She took out a few of the stitches but one place had "unsealed" and was oozing so he's back in a bandage with more antibiotic ointment. I have to change them every day until next Wednesday.
Watching the weather. David says rain. Like, in the next hour. I'll believe it when I see wet concrete.
My knees know the weather is going to change. It's likely the barometer as you said. They are especialy whiny when cold fronts are coming.
I am soooo tired of political commercials. Primary is Tuesday. That will clear out about half of them.
I wrote today. It was a Thursday Threads snippet but I managed to attach it to a previously written scene so no new "dangly" scene. Yay.
I'm ready for a nap but it's time to make dinner. I have no clue what I'm fixing. Probably meatloaf though that doesn't excite me much. I do have frozen Chinese stuff. Maybe I'll fix it.
That's about it for me. Glad you enjoyed your A&C marathon. Their "Who's on first" schtick is still a classic! Later, tater.
