Good evening to everyone on the Front Porch on Thursday May 14, 2020.

We had rain overnight and cloudy skies and 54* here at 10:30 AM. We have an expected high of 69 and a possible shower this afternoon. Tomorrow should be sunny with a high of 73.

My wife is taking her sister to the University Hospital for a test this afternoon.

Hello, Porch Peeps,

It’s Thursday already. My, how time flies when you are having (no) fun.

I was bringing the trash cans back from the street this AM, highlight of my day, and saw my neighbor doing some weeding. She and her husband are usually gone for the months of June through October to their place on PEI. They will be home here this summer since no non-residents are allowed on the island even if they own property. They may go for a few weeks in August if the island opens.

Must be tree week on my street. Yesterday there was a lot of commotion 2 doors up as they took out this huge-trunked tree from behind the house. The tree company is named Monster Tree, and he trucks were huge. They even had a little front loader type vehicle to bring some of the branches back from the yonder part of the property to the chipper truck. This morning, down the block, another tree company was buzzing away at someone’s trees and across the street from that, yet another tree company was at work on another property. Makes me wonder if I should call my tree people. LOL!

Waiting for an UPS delivery that has to be signed for today…I kind of doubt that will happen. The last time the guy said I didn’t have to sign for it. Whew! Tomorrow I will have to sign the renewal service contract for my AC/heater when they come for the maintenance. Not looking forward to that.

Warmer weather is coming. Right now it is 72 and gorgeous .Tomorrow they say 86. I’ll believe that when it happens. 😺

I hope everyone is staying safe!

Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch on Friday May 15, 2020. We are looking at a high temp of 72 and partly cloudy skies changing to sunny this afternoon. Saturday will be the same.

Another day locked in with my loving wife Mary. We have found the Hallmark movies on HBO Channel and look forward to seeing another one this afternoon.

Our Supreme Court cancelled our Governor's Lockdown Order so the state is in turmoil. Several countries including ours passed their own Stay in Place orders. I fired off some emails and phone calls to some of our idiot politicians who sued our Governor and the Supreme Court who created this mess. Several bars where elbow to elbow drunks within hours of the ruling. As of now there is no plan for transitioning after this ruling. Gt

Back to trying to live together in these trying times as Seniors in our mid 70's.

Hoping everyone out there are safe and doing well! Have a peaceful weekend.

Good morning Dave and Mrs McK from Fabulous Las Vegas.

I watched in true horror as the court took this action. I totally support your efforts to curtail the wide openness some are demanding.

We currently have several "business owners" suing our Governor; so far not heard by the Court. I would like to believe our Court will take in all factors (e.g., casinos bring huge crowds; we lost 53 people less than 3 years ago and were all traumatized; we suffered most dramatic depression in the 80s and 90s than any other municipality; our mayor was elected on name only and is a little nuts imho).

Many of us had advance warning and have been plugging away at not opening "Las Vegas" before it is safe. We, like y'all, but 4x; most of us Seniors worked the hospitality business here (the main biz) and dealt with economic and health issues (SARS did come to Vegas). Now we're trying to do what's right and have for the most part stayed in our small apartments and avoided contact that could spread the current virus.

Our Governor has so far stood strong. We'll watch closely whether our Superior Court or Governor fail or succeed in standing strong.

#StaySafe @DaveMcK and Mrs McK

GOOD MORNING AND A HAPPY FRIDAY MAY 15TH TO YOU ALL!! 💃

It's the time of year here in Lake Havasu, AZ that the weather will be warm, warmer, hot until September. 🙂 Unlike a few here, i LOVE this time of year. Although as of today the lockdown here in AZ has been lifted to a degree it's still a little less enjoyable this year, what with this new virus going around, but that's life and we just have to make the best of it. BUT, i can at least enjoy the warm sunny weather! 🙂

I hope EVERYBODY "out there" is happy and well!

Please note that we are a totally politics free zone. If people want to talk politics or support a candidate there are a couple of interesting groups on AARP. As one of our Porchers said! "We are very low keyed and we like it that way"! I hope everyone enjoys their quiet times here on the Front Porch! This was the rule here before I joined the group in January 2009! Please respect this policy and enjoy your time here!

Drats, summer is here today, warm and humid. I really was enjoying the cool temps we had in April and up until now in May. Wearing a a mask will be even more suffocating. Cleaning out a closet I found some 3M masks still in their package so now I have OPTIONS 😎. I really thought the face shield would be the thing but my eyesight is bad anyway, and worse with the shield. Perhaps I can wear the shield with mask for grocery shopping as I already know the store and should be able to navigate. For things that require clear vision I will wear mask only? Decisions! 😆

GOOD Tuesday morning, from Lake Havasu, AZ, everybody!! Looks like we're gonna have a cool down for a few days, in the 80"s and mid 90's. The no triples will make a few of the Havasuvians happy. 🙂

Made a trip to Bealls and Walmart yesterday. That'll probably be my shopping for the week! Not as much fun having to go through the mask, gloves and sanitizer process, but looks like it's gonna be that way for awhile. Still not a lot of places open to shop for clothes. Dillards JUST opened up...all with restrictions, of course. Still not everyone wearing masks, unfortunately, but will be that way through the remainder i'm sure...since there's still people that believe this is all a joke. One of the cashiers that waited on me yesterday was one of those, that surprised me! Oh well, everybody has to do what they feel is best and we all have differing opinions on just about everything.

Hoping you ALL stay healthy and Wishing you whatever kind of Tuesday you want!!

If this site isn't supposed to be political, the last words of your post below the picture shouldn't be there. I was enjoying your post until I saw that. This is enough to make me leave the site if this is ok. Stay safe.

Tuesday 68* sounds about right, experienced my first virtual mourning / wake experience, last night.

Lost a royal PITA/Friend of 63 years, didn’t think masks were required on PD, permanent retirement now!

Now, off in search of Mongol/Chinese treats he introduced us to, for his actual wake, hopefully in July/Aug when he’s interred at secret fishing spot.

Have leads which need to be followed.

Need to work on my balance issues, will be hiking in around 10 miles with 2 remaining friends from youth, and his whipper snappers.

That’s about all I’ve got today, have plans to make, and stuff to find.

ps - virtual leaves a lot to be desired.

@wvgirlforever

There’s more of us, then them hopefully here. Really!

Peace, love and happiness,

Froze

And yes, after long days/nights, I'd still like to swing these hunks of glass , plastic and silicon against the nearest wall Come on retirement!

Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch on Wednesday May 20, 2020. We are looking at a high temp of 70 and partly cloudy skies changing to sunny this afternoon. Thursday and Friday will be the same.

Top news of the day: Severe flooding struck central Michigan on Wednesday after two dams were breached by rain-swollen waters, forcing the evacuation of thousands of residents and prompting officials to warn of life-threatening danger. May we all have these people in our thoughts as they face this catastrophe in these all ready challenging times! Bless them one and all!
