“Mercury Forecast Edmonton -3 degrees, Calgary 5 degrees, Mesa 28 (82) degrees”

This month always is a great month. Most importantly it is heart month. It is Valentines day month. It is Darlene’s birthday. It is Larry’s birthday. It is Daisy’s birthday. it is Family day month. It is Penny’s birthday, and it is the month Jackie heads back to Calgary for a bit.

You sure can’t beat that weather. Love it.

Put away all of the block party stuff. The tables, chairs, napkins, etc. Our extra chairs put away in the back shed. Our camping chairs away in the back of the car.

Whipped over to Dwight’s place to remove and reset his smoke/CO detector as it was going off and was amazingly loud. It has a sealed battery so if it a low battery it is a replacement required. Personally I would check it with a match. It appears to be ok though.

Then a quick google search on my two way spring tension hinges. They work similar to a garage door spring and are very tight. The are a little dangerous with the snap back. There are 4 spring tension controllers. You need pliers and a rod. Turn them tight to keep the sag out. This will allow it to self-center when returning from either direction.

The little silver pin is the tension holder which is under a lot of pressure. At $50 each they are pricey.

The sag is gone and it seems to be working like a charm.

Booked a special golf course for my birthday. Golfing and then dinning out for steak after.

This morning Jackie & Sandy stopped by for a cup of tea. The dogs had a blast running back and forth between the couches. They were tired after a long haul of playing. I think Daisy thinks she is heaven with all of her play mates and things she gets to do.

We watched the Farmers Golf with Justin Rose blowing away the field. Koepka struggled in his debut but it was mainly putting. Excellent tournament.

Tonight we had BBQ’d chicken breast, sliced potatoes with onions and roasted asparagus. They have the biggest breasted chicken ever down here, We actually cut one in half and had plenty. I love asparagus done this way. 5 Salt & Pepper Spices, tossed in olive oil and a fresh lemon squeezed over them. Delicious.

What a warm day but for couch comfort we decided after spending all day outside to watch the Grammy’s indoors. Great show and host.

In our conversation we wondered how Audrey was enjoying the Grammy’s with the closed caption on. She only uses this to watch TV. It was quite funny.

Nice to see Justin Beiber doing well. His performance was amazing. It was quite mesmerizing and unique.

Jelly Roll looks awesome. I am going to say at least a 200 pound weight loss. Great singer.

Lady Gaga has an incredible voice.

Thought of the Day

I don’t need a stage to sing. My shower is sold out !
