is this March???

I totally cannot believe that this warm, no-snow, weather continues! Other than a couple of days in early March when it snowed on and off for a few days, it has been positively balmy weather for this time of year. I have not worn boots or winter coat for 3 weeks!! I like it, but it's a bit freaky too!

For those enterprising people reading this - here are two innovations that need doing
#1. lights for laptops - I have my laptop in the living room where I can surf, email etc. while watching TV. Our living room tends to be dark and I cannot see the lap top keyboard - causing me to often mis-type! sooo annoying! If only my laptop came with a tiny light that lit up just the keyboard! how handy would that be????

#2. rotary bathtub cleaner (or something like that) This one is care of Jamie who claims he uses this method for cleaning his bathroom. Take a regular electric drill with wire brush attachment and then stick a thick sponge on the wire brush (so you don't scratch your tub) then a nice sprinkle of Comet on the sponge and away you go! Works well - Rick actually tried it on our tub - only problem is the flying bits of Comet generated by the speed of the drill. A proper unit would likely come with a slower speed, no wire brush and a screen deflector so the scrub-ee doesn't have to change clothes afterwards!!

Well, there you go, kids - two inventions just waiting for the right person to come along and do something with them.

Been a busy week this week - lots of running around for real estate - two deals in the works and 2 houses listed! Wheeeeee.... This morning I drove from Mink Lake (Pembroke area) to Calabogie to get an offer signed - lots of driving in rural real estate!

If fact, we were so busy running around, that I was quite sure I had missed the NASCAR race this afternoon, but turns out it had been cancelled due to rain, so if I can wrap things up at the office tomorrow morning, I can get home by noon & watch the rain-delayed race.

Last Sunday we had a great afternoon watching the race at Bill and Andrea's house. In deference to my low/no carb diet, Andrea outdid herself in snacks and goodies I could legitimately eat & followed it up with a great steak and Caesar salad. Super day, guys! - too bad Jimmie Johnson had to sneak up and win the race!!!! We're all just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick of Jimmie Johnson! (I may have mentioned that before)

As I'm typing this, I'm watching a Led Zeppelin concert from 1976 on the VH1 Classic channel- amazing! We've seen a ton of old videos and concerts from the 70's since subscribing to VH1 Classic. Most of it is stuff we're seeing for the first time - back then, we only heard the music - we didn't really have any visuals other than album covers and photos, so this is all new to us. As I said - amazing!

Today's picture - deer in Bill and Andrea's back yard! and Buddy, cuz, he's so freaking CUTE!!!!
