Tuesday, July 18th, 2017….. Lydia
still is having trouble catching up on sleep.
I think the Vegas trip and getting little sleep on the redeye home is
still affecting her a bit. I’m watching
her closely and making sure she stays off her feet and rests today. Meanwhile, I went back to work on the
pod#3. It only took me about an hour to
completely empty it. I called and they
will be picking up all three on Thursday. After resting for a bit, we (ok
Lydia) decided we needed to go to Albany’s Costco. We have all of the refrigerators and freezers
up and running now so she wants to stock up.
We also stopped at Home Depot on the way to finish up our search for
microwaves. Lowe’s is now our
choice. We filled up the back of the
Honda with groceries and took a few minutes to get hot dogs and drinks before
leaving Costco. We then headed to Lowe’s and bought the microwave. It fit in the back seat. Boy, I am missing my truck! Anyway, we got
that all home and unloaded and the microwave up and running and then went back
out to the rig where we had last week’s America’s Got Talent taped and watched
that before we called it a night.
Wednesday, July 19th, 2017….. Good nights sleep for both of us. Lydia is back to normal (?). Today
work starts on the yard. I had met with
my neighbor who put me in contact with the guy (Allen) who mows their ‘field’
grass. He had given me a price ($200.) to
do two cuttings (so we won’t have a ton of large clippings in the field). He has a large mower but it still took hours
to finish. Meanwhile Kirk, the gardener, started today on the flower beds. He will clear the weeds, remove the old mulch
and the dead plants, replant new flowers and shrubs, and put in new mulch. He’s
starting his business so he can only work on Wednesdays at this time so this
will take a while. The sprinkler work that Walt had done still has a leak – the
guys will be here Friday. They will also
give me a bid to go through all of the irrigation system, including the drip
lines that have been seriously neglected.
The work went smoothly and both jobs progressed well. Allen did his cuts and Kirk cut weeds and
cleaned flower beds. We won’t need Allen
back for a month or so. Kirk will return
next week. But it looks better already!
I got out my trimmer and cut around the motorhome.
Here you can see before and after:
After half of
day of yard work for me, we took off and went back to Home Depot for rock salt
for the water softener and to Costco for an entertainment center for my office
plus a storage shelf system for the master bedroom closet. We returned and deposited the boxed in their
respective rooms. Still have to put those together. Another task to do! Later,
we decided to leave Kirk and head off to Coburg for dinner. We had a scratch off for Coburg Pizza we need
to use. We ordered our pizza and yay, we
got a free dessert pizza. We ordered
apple cinnamon, my favorite. We ate the
pizza and brought the dessert home for later. We watched the Tour and then
called it a night.
Did your mower show up yet?
