Never did get more on the budget thing as my mortgage lender never got back in touch but did go get bread and hit the grocery store for some stuff but could not get two items at the Harvard Market QFC as they were out. I had to modify one element of the plan and that was I had hoped to see styrofoam trays of bits of chicken meat (they were out) so ( Read more... )

First off, got home from work and promptly reconnected the USB cable to the computer, fired up Kingo Root and proceeded to unroot my phone in hopes it restores the radios, no go.

Awoke yesterday morning at quarter to 8am, rather late for me, only to find we had, had snow fall earlier in the morning and that there was a dusting of snow on grasses, cars and plants - and of course, rooftops. It was pretty while it lasted. We only got to 31.3F yesterday, so cold indeed. Currently it's 30F out there in full sunlight, our high ( Read more... )
