70s and a few clouds in the NV desert today.

Today's Question(s):

How many of our QOTD family "overslept" this morning because of the time change ? Me!

How many clocks in your home still need to be changed ? One --spare bedroom.

How about your vehicles ? This one's done.

What had you recently saying:
That was money well spent ? Getting a handyman to paint, change light fittings/fans, plumbing fixtures, shower door in new (to me) house.

I didn't know you couldn't/shouldn't put birdfeeders out in the back yard (an HOA violation!)?

Happy Monday everyone!

Good afternoon all and Happy Pi Day!!!


Today's Question(s):

How many or our QOTD family "overslept" this morning because of the time change ?
Nope. Got up a little earlier today. Must be my love for Monday's!

Bonus Question:

How many clocks in your home still need to be changed ?
I know of one. It's in my den. This clock is programmed to change by itself at the "normal" time when the clocks are supposed to change. I guess that will be in a few weeks.

How about your vehicles ?
Only 1 is correct. I have to figure out the others.

Extra Credit Question:

What had you recently saying:
That was money well spent ?This great dinner that DW and I had the other night.
I wish I had gotten one years ago ? My motorcycle.
Well, that was a bigger mess than I thought it would be ? My kid and his antics! (Gotta' love him!)
I didn't know you couldn't/shouldn't _ I've got nothing for this one._ ?


Just for Fun:

What was the last thing that had you saying "oops" ?
One of those discussions where DW was telling me something and as it turns out, I was supposed to be listening and comprehending. However, I was preoccupied and whatever it was that I was doing had a higher level of importance to me at the time. Needsless to say, I was "unprepared" to give her a response when she looked for my feedback. OOPS!!!

Today is:
National Potato Chip Day I can't remember the last time I had one!
National Children's Craft Day Would this include the kids in China making Kathie Lee clothing and Nike sneakers?
Celebrate Scientists Day Three cheers for the nerd herd!
Learn about Butterflies Day
Save a Spider Day No. Spiders must die is DW's rule in our house.
Pi (3.14159265...) Day A well-'round'ed celebration!

Have a great day gang!
