Saturday, July 22nd, 2017…..
Today I got up rather
early. The sun comes up at 5:45am plus I still have that habit (after 43 years
of work and 5 years of retirement) of waking up early! Anyway, I got rolling. I
showered and then I started on the drawer pulls in the bathroom and replaced
all 11 of them. They look nice. I can’t mow until the dew gets off the lawn. I
have all my tv programs still on the dvr in the rv so in the house and went out
there and had a little breakfast and watched tv. Then work on more boxes for a while, rest a
bit and watch tv, then work a bit, rest a bit, etc. etc. It’s a tough life! I
did watch the time trials on the Tour. Looks like Chris Froome has the yellow
jersey sewed up. Tomorrow they do the last leg down the Champs-Élysées in Paris. After
that was over, it was close to 10:45am. I went out with the string trimmer and
went around the sprinkler heads in the front and back yards. Ready now for the mower! I needed Lydia for
some extra help. The internet cable is
still lying across the yard from the street to the house. It gets buried sometime down the road but for
now I needed her to lift it up as I passed.
That all went well until I gave her a turn on the tractor.
Now I had to lift the cable! She was like the energizer bunny on that
mower – she just kept going and going! I think I made 2-3 passes – she made the
rest and only got off when we were done!
No worries – it will grow again. I finished up with the string trimmer and
wacked some more weeds and we were done!
Yaaay! We took a break for lunch
and rested for a while before working on more boxes. I went back online for a bit to do some more
updating of our address for magazines, campground memberships, etc. Most I
could do online but some I have to call during the week. We’ll get them all done eventually.
About 6:00pm Randy called and said he was around the corner! He arrived a few minutes later and we
unloaded the truck and rested a bit. Mom
showed him the house and grounds and then I showed him my workshop and tractor!
Lydia
fixed pulled pork sliders and tator tots and we relaxed and watched a bit of tv
then called it a night.
Sunday, July 23rd, 2017….. Lydia
had a rough night with acid reflux so she slept in this morning. Randy and I took off and headed to town for
breakfast and then went on to Albany and the Home Depot to pick up some storage
cabinets for the garage. On the way back
I detoured by my sister’s future home to show him and then we returned home and
assembled the cabinets. With two of us
it went pretty fast. Afterward, we took a break and watched the last day of the
Tour de France. Since it was Sunday, we
didn’t plan anything else for the day.
Lydia showed Randy where the garage freezer was dripping. He didn’t like the way it was cycling on and
off. We unplugged it for a while and will check it later. Might have a bad
compressor and if so we will scrap it and buy a new one. Stay tuned… Later, Lydia fixed steak burritos for dinner (yummy!)
and afterward we took a drive up to Sweet Home to show Randy Foster Lake and the area up
there. We returned and he took a look at
our thermostat (the light stays on) and fixed it for us. I watched Nascar, Lydia watched her programs
and Randy watched tv and caught up on his texts/emails.
