Wednesday, September 5th, 2018…… Today was mowing day. We wanted
to mow all of the property (except the west 40) so I wanted to wait until Kirk
brought back our co-owned tractor. That way we could reduce the total time out
in the yard. I always get started by first string trimming all of the areas we
can’t reach with the mower. I can do that as early as I want. But we usually
have to wait until the dew gets off the lawn and the grass dries out a bit
before we mow. We started that about 11:00am. My sister came over to help. I
took the orange 48” Husqvarna out and did the tight-turn trimming and Lydia
took the black 54” Craftsman Pro out to do the lawn area. My sister took over
for Lydia and we got everything, including the back field, knocked out in short
time. Lydia went to pick up Subway for lunch and then Penny left to shower and
I got my shower and then it was Lydia’s turn. After that, we were beat and
rested for the day. Lydia threw chicken pot pies in the oven for an easy
meal.

6th, 2018…… Super pooper let us sleep in this morning. But she is always anxious to
go on our walk. I try to do that right after showering and before breakfast. I
took off on a breakfast/coffee run after the walk. But since Lydia was heading off for pickleball, I drove to Albany and
had breakfast there. I made my usual visit to Habitat for Humanity then went
over to the Linn County Dog Control office to get Rylee’s dog license. I took
my folder that has everything. Problem was I held out the spay certificate and
the rabies certificate and put them in a separate folder and then went and left
that at home! Duuuuhhhh! Oh well, I’ll
come back tomorrow. When I got home, I got a call from the RV shop that the
motorhome was ready for pickup. They reset the code and it was working so the charge
would only be $55.00! I was
thrilled! When Lydia got home we ate
lunch and then drove to Sweet Home and she dropped me off. I paid for the work
plus a fee to dump the tanks and headed out to do that. But first I checked the
fridge and found that the error code was back! So, I headed back in and we
decided I should leave it to be further analyzed. I’m thinking I still have the
cooling unit problem but they will keep it overnight and check it to see if
codes again. Bummer! Later, I had Lydia
come help me hang the license plates in the shop. This is before and after
pictures.
The collection has
all 50 states. Some are newer plates, some are older. All are actual plates and
came to me boxed up, complete with road grit on them. I had soaked them and scrubbed
all of it off and they look pretty good hanging on the shop walls. I now can
look as we travel to see if there are other state plates in better shape and/or
different styles to replace as needed…
My sister came by to
spend the night. She has agreed to help out at her housekeeper’s yard sale
tomorrow and asked me to walk Quincy. They live just around the corner so it
works out for her to just stay here tonight. She had her treatment in Salem
today and had an early linner so Lydia fixed dinner for just us. We let the
dogs play outside until they were pooped and then we all settled in for the
night.
