03-25-2026 — Utilize Dinner

Howdy all. Yes, still below freezing morning to start. At least no big winds or rain or snow (TODAY!). Between yesterday’s Sam’s Club order/delivery, and a quick grocery store run this morning to make sure truck got a recharge, pantry is restocked for a couple/three weeks. Oh, gas was between $3.80 and $3.98 for the advertised level. Good octane levels over $4. Fortunately, I have a few more months until I need to fill up the truck. It has reached total mileage of 29,925. Someday this year, it will go over 30K. Perhaps before the next dentist appointment in Mid-May.

The dentist office called yesterday to let me know they got pre-approval from insurance for the next rebuild/crown. The “eye” tooth on the upper right side. It doesn’t cause me issues (yet), but apparently the 40-50 year old fillings are falling apart and it needs a new surface (cap). My portion will be about $550, even with insurance. UGH!

Anyway, life continues. There was another utility marking person painting and flagging the yard. This guy was from the Gas company and planted yellow flags.

The main gas line for the street is across the pavement, and about 3-4 foot into the park land. Notice how the gas line curves away from the “well” corner of the house. Unlike one of the others which went under the mulch area. The 3 orange/red flags are for CATV, Electrical, Phone.

I sure hope OMNI fiber optic cables are put through soon.

Yesterday I “cooked” for dinner. Grabbed a bunch of items reaching their expiry dates, and made what I called a Sausage Tortilla Casserole. The Hispanic dude that delivered from Sam’s Club, thought it smelled great. Of course he used mostly hand and face gestures to state that. I’m guessing English is not even a second language for him.

Might not look super attractive, but it sure was tasty. I’ll warm some up in a bit for lunch today.

Kitty decided to “fit” in the very small hammock on this cat tree/bed area by the window. Too cold to open the window, but she can watch the world go by.

Thus, she is happy and will Enjoy Life
