I actually returned home finally on the 11th... I'd gone up there particularly for an all-day occasion on the 9th, went up Saturday so as to make it easier to just be there already and not have to travel on Sunday... ended up being able to spend time on the 10th with my son, so came home the next day... BM>> True. The Burning Bush in the back yard has the snippable branches BM>> gone now; need to saw the remainder as larger than can be trimmed with BM>> the loppers. And as those are hidden from the front/usualy viewing BM>> angle not at the top of the list to be done any more. Will get done, BM>> but got some other projects to get caught up on (weeding and other BM>> trimming) and may as well wait a couple of weeks as those larger BM>> branches need to be bundled anway, and may as well put them out during BM>> the free Fall Clean Up weeks. NB>> Sounds like a reasonable plan.... :) BM> And LIS in other messages, just too hot out there to do extensive yard BM> work. One thing to work up a sweat, another to just be standing and BM> dripping profusely! For sure.... no need to put yourself at risk, either.... BM>>> She used to stay up late and get up early to get things done and make BM>>> everything organized/back to normal immediately. I think she finally BM>>> 'smartened up' and realized doors can be closed and things don't have BM>>> to be done _now_. NB>>> Most important is to get things taken care of that will be in use NB>>> right away or at least soon... if it isn't likely to be needed NB>>> until the next trip, there's no rush.... :) BM>> She has cleaned up -- figured she would! Not sure of her put-away BM>> routine; she doesn't need the electrical converters/adapters like I do BM>> -- mine do get stored in the luggage. NB>> Yup, some stuff does just need to be used right away, so gets NB>> unpacked quickly... other stuff might even just as well wait in NB>> the suitcase for the next trip... BM> Plus doesn't take up valuable storage space if stored inside the BM> suitcase, especially if not going to be used until the next trip Exactly. :) NB>> (You didn't answer anything below this... got distracted...? I NB>> left it as is, but unquoted my stuff...) BM> Me? Get distract -- oo, wow! Look at that!! Uh-hunh... ;) NB>>> That would be sufficiently "non-city" to be nice to live in... :) NB>>> My youngest brother, though, now lives and works in NYC... lives in NB>>> Brooklyn, and works in the whole area... He seems to like the milieu NB>>> just fine... I've visited him there, but wouldn't want to live there.. BM>> "Different strokes" and all that! I don't mind 'hustle and bustle' BM>> (up to a point!); sometimes think during the newsshots of the floor of BM>> the New York Stock Exchange that's one job I definitely would not want: BM>> "now" is too late! Of course some people thrive on it. NB>> Yup, some people thrive on it.... but I'm with you... I'd not want NB>> that job, either.... 'hustle and bustle' is ok in the short term, but NB>> I'd not want it constantly.... BM> To me it's fun as something exciting and different but overall like my BM> low-key lifestyle. OTOH sittin' on the veranda shooin' flies is too BM> laid back for me. Again would be nice for a vacation, but I like a BM> little more excitement than that. (Also makes me cringe at the BM> thought of the shuffle board retirment community.) Low-key, but not deadly boring... ;) I'm with you on that... ;) ttyl neb ....
