Good morning all, starting to get a bit chilly here, mornings are in the low 60's, and up to the high 70's later on. Suppose to get back to normal soon, low 70's for a high. Also, those TV guessers guessed wrong and have reverted back to 0% chance of rain for the foreseeable future (about a week).
We put up the meager few Christmas decorations that we have left and bought a few since we didn't have that many. When we moved from a house to the retirement apartment, we gave most of what we had away, thinking that we'd never need outdoor decorations and not have space for a lot indoors. Now that we're back in a house, we could use that stuff we gave away. Went to Walmart to find that a string of 50 lights cost more than strings of 100.
We just went with LED's, I never had the patience to try to find the one bulb that was the problem in a string, and now LED's are getting cheap enough. I've also replace most of our house lighting with LED bulbs. We can now see what's going on in the kitchen, twice the brightness at around a fourth the wattage.
