Today someone is coming to do maintenance on my standby generator. It's expensive; but I want to make sure I have AC this summer. I have a feeling that it's going to be a scorcher of a summer and filled with strong storms..
With the cease-fire deal, oil prices have dropped below $100. I wonder if we will see the difference at the pumps?
Breakfast - Low salt nuts
Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Hamburger, potato wedges, baked beans, fruit cocktail
Dessert/Snack - Nuts
Dinner - Turkey/vegan cheese sandwich, potato poppables, cherries
What did you eat yesterday?

Yes, if we get some strong storms and the power goes out, I want to make sure I still have my AC.

@LindaOHio A couple of years ago my air conditioner was broken for 16 days in May. Oklahoma gets hot in April. By the third day the air was broken, I would wake up in the middle of the night and pour rivulets of bottled water over my head. So I completely understand.

Of course we won't see a difference at the pump. The price of oil goes up a dollar, the price of gas goes up 20c. The price of oil comes DOWN 20 dollars, the price of gas comes down a penny.
I had the usual for lunch and some chicken cheese rice for dinner. And more peach applesauce!

@LindaOHio — yeah, now that it seems our “leader” has turned his attention to attacking the Vatican…

@FourWalls I did see that. Nothing escapes his odious attention.

We shall see. They will probably close the Strait again anyway.

They will probably start fighting again anyway.

Tater tots and some smoked beef sausage and, of course, ice cream sandwiches and Ding Dongs.

@LindaOHio thank you for asking. Just fine. I write every day and post about twice a week and on Mondays and Fridays I do my blogging.

@DianneN I'm afraid so. I'm so glad I have the standby generator.

I have a feeling it's going to be a hot summer with a lot of storms.

I hope we'll see gas prices go down...they are outrageous right now. Potato wedges sound good

If they keep the Strait of Hormuz open, the prices will drop.

@MommyOfEli2013 It's through that Strait that the oil tankers travel. When it's closed by fighting, prices go up.

@LindaOHio the who what now? But that would be nice if they would drop...don't like only filling up the car halfway with $20.

Probably yes but it might take awhile to trickle down.

@LindaOHio - Everything is moved by trucks, as the gas price increased all the goods will go up.

Gas prices here jumped yesterday just before closing at the local stations. It went from $3.27 to $3.50. I still have 3/4 of a tank and don't want to pay higher prices.
I ate a red plum and an apple for breakfast, ate a bowl of rotini noodles with ground beef for lunch and had a grilled Cheddar cheese on sourdough bread for supper last night.

@LindaOHio I hope so, too, even if Pretty is the one paying for the gas now.

Yes. I want to make sure I have AC and my fridge and freezer are running.

We can only hope prices at the pump drop.
Glad you're getting your generator ready for the summer. It would be horrible to have to suffer with extreme heat if the power went out.
Last night we had our favorite "go to" roasted chicken with a Caesar Salad. Didn't want to eat a heavy meal and wanted to indulge in some cake leftover from Easter.

Definitely need that AC working in the summer. I hope it is not a scorcher.

I sure hope the oil prices stay down. Gas prices won't come down as fast, but eventually they should.
