2017….. We
spent today running errands and working on sprinkler/drip irrigation systems. The property has three ‘islands’ out in the
front and the back, two of which have water lines. Walt set them up with irrigation
systems. Now they haven’t been very well
maintained so I set out to fix them up.
I worked on the back yard system today.
I ended up running to two stores looking for the right lines and heads
for the older system. Hard to find for
sure! I am making headway though and got a few lines up and running. Later, while we were watching out tape of
America’s Got Talent, we had a knock on the door. The guy was from a pest control company
working on the block and wanted to give us a free estimate. We have tons of spiders here plus a lot of
wasp nests. No mice issues nor ants. He looked the place over and wanted to
give us a quote. Penny asked about her
house (she had already had an expensive quote). He agreed to go there tomorrow
and give her a price. We would get the same
price. I was glad to see him come because we had been planning on getting
someone out. Did I mention Lydia hates
spiders! Plus we have hobo and brown recluse spiders here, and both are dangerous.
We went back to the AGT tape. We also watched
the results show and were not shocked on who advanced and who got sent home. We
also watched the Dancing with the Stars announcement earlier and I got those
names noted for the premiere. We will
watch that coming soon. I also googled
and got the cast of Survivor which we will tape as well.

2017….. I slept in a bit later this morning
and showered and ate breakfast and then took some recycling out to the bin and
checked the weather. We are supposed to
get some light rain today and the sky looked gloomy. It sprinkled a bit but not bad. I followed Penny over to her house to work on
her back yard sprinkler heads and got a count of what she needed. I headed off to Home Depot for those and for more
items for my system and got her stuff. I
had found a local Ace Hardware in town that had my stuff so I got what I
needed. Kirk was at penny’s getting
ready to work on the back yard. I kind
of ruined his timing by running the sprinklers to test them so he cut his day
short. But, hey, they were coming here
next anyway to receive the pile of bark mulch for my flower beds. I finished up there and came home and
rested. The truck showed up and dropped the
bark just as the rains came. They
stopped for a few minutes and the pest guy showed up. He had given Penny a really low price and us
too so we set up the start date for our place. Later, Lydia fixed pork shops
and potatoes and green beans for dinner while capped off a busy day! We relaxed
and I watched Thursday night Football and then the first day of the Mecum
Auctions from Dallas and then we called it a night.
