Monday Morning Brief and Sunday Update

Good morning from cold, windy Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's currently 24 F and reaching a high today of 38 F. It's still winter for another day. I hope Spring lets her guard down and allows winter some spring fun.
Yesterday was a good day. I put the corned beef in the crockpot at 6:30 AM and set it for 8 hours and then went to church. Not right away. Church starts at 9:30.
I hope you all had a Happy St. Patrick's Day. After church I got my steps and talked to a friend on third floor who invited me into her apartment. She introduced me to a fiber rich cereal. I need fiber. So, I'll be getting Kashi Go in the health food aisle.
After getting my steps I settled into the recliner to watch TV and use the foot cycle. I did that twice yesterday as I also ate a lot yesterday.
A few days ago I mentioned to one gentleman in the building, that I was making corned beef today. He said he would come over. I expected it was just something he said and wouldn't be here. He showed up. We had a good visit, and he took some corned beef, potatoes, and carrots back to his apartment. I took selfies of a shamrock head piece. I hope it's not too big for the site. I'm still learning to do selfies and smile for them. I always look so pensive when taking them.
I watched two movies: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Beauty and the Beast - live action with Emma Watson. I forgot I wanted to watch Darby O'Gill and the Little People. I'll watch it today.
It was a very good day.
Today's plans are simple: notifications, work on books, get my steps, and I have a friend coming to pick up all my electronics for recycling, two computers and monitors, one laptop a tablet, and blue ray player. They don't work. Well the monitors do, but I don't need three monitors. Besides one of them has a different HDMI connector. It doesn't work with the computer. I needed the old set up for the connection to the computer. So, it's going along with all the unnecessary cords I've been keeping for too long.
That's how my day looks. How's your day going? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

Good job on the selfie. I have extras in terms of computer equipment, but there is probably too much personal data on them to recycle. They would all have to be wiped first.

My friend who does the decorating stopped by. I asked her if she was strong enough to get the screws out of the computer side. I wanted to get the hard drive out. She did one better. She had a battery powered screwdriver. The hard drive is out.

Minus one C out there today and I thought I saw a couple flakes waft by when I looked out the window. Supposed to warm up to +4°C/40°F. We shall see.

@just4him It's so sad to see winter hang on. We got a dusting of snow overnight and no hope of seeing the sun for the next few days.

@BarBaraPrz You are in Canada after all. I'm glad it's hanging around. We've had next to nothing for winter.

Lashing has some really good cereals, that’s for sure. It was so nice of you to feed that gentleman, and I am glad you had such a good visit with him.
I’m getting ready to leave for Branson, Missouri at 11am, so I’m taking a break from packing, but I need to start up again.

It's great that you have someone to take your electronics for recycling. It's such a pain and I have a few that need to be disposed of but they're in the basement so out of sight out of mind.
Love your selfie
Glad you and your neighbor enjoyed your corned beef dinner. We didn't do a big St. Pattys' Day dinner this year. Actually we had pizza
This week I set myself a goal of increasing my steps.

Your selfie is beautiful. You are aging gracefully.
Corned beef , carrots and potatoes sounds delicious. I would also show up if it were me.
Harry Potter is a movie that never gets old. I've watched few parts of the series but I've never shown interest.

@just4him you're welcome
I liked the part I watched but I'm just not willing to follow the series and watch it all.
