Hello, Geezer coming back to this forum. Paul B

So I completed this very cool Steampunk piece a week ago, and I think I'm going to keep it for myself. I have to "eliminate" another piece first, so Dale doesn't throw me out.

And just now, I acquired another vintage glass dome, so I started building another one. I live to build.

I already ordered a few things for inside, and I will start designing it. I love this stuff

We are invited out tonight for dinner, but I want to make Manhattan Clam Chowder tomorrow night. I went to the supermarket for the Chowder stuff, and I forgot that we are supposed to get a huge snowstorm tomorrow into Monday with maybe 50MPH winds. It's a Nor'easter, and they predict 10 to 18" of snow.

Snow doesn't concern me at all, but apparently it scares many people. I got to the supermarket (where the Supermodels shop) and couldn't find a parking place. I parked so far away that I almost had to get an Uber to get to the place.

I finally get a spot and went in. There are no shopping carts. I have never seen this before. Not one except one that the wheels didn't turn.

My wife gave me a list, and I started to shop. They were almost out of plastic bags, so if you want apples, you have to throw them in the cart, or I assume your pockets.

I wonder how crowded it would be if they predicted a meteor strike like what killed the dinosaurs.

I had a big scare last night that almost gave me a heart attack. I was taking a shower, and I heard Dale scream louder than I have ever heard her scream.

I thought someone was killing her. I ran in there and she was in so much pain that she couldn't stand, breathe or move her mouth. I didn't know what to do. That horrible pain left her a few days ago and we hoped it would stay away at least for a few months.

I don't know what brought it on but we are waiting for a big blizzard today so maybe the drop in atmospheric pressure caused it. She said it was the worst she ever felt like the first time she got it years ago when I had to call an ambulance.

I quickly got her a pill that is for this pain but it takes hours to work, and it rarely works once you already have the pain.
I was going to call an ambulance but the pain started to abate. Now, Thank God, it's gone.

She was fine all day yesterday, this is so scary.

Today, barring any medical issues I am going to get my generator rolled out and ready to go. We are expecting maybe 2' of snow.
I have 20 gallons of gas for my generator which should get me through a couple of days as I don't run it continuously. Only about 15 minutes an hour to keep the heat on.
