Wednesday, September 19th, 2018…… We need to keep on the grass
mowing so that it’s cut as low as possible right before the rainy season starts
and we have to quit for the season. So, we decided to mow it today. We needed
to wait until the dew dried off the grass. I needed to go to Sweet Home RV to
pick up my checkbook that I had left there so we took muttley for a car ride
and headed there. I talked a bit with them about the progress on the rig. They
are in communication with the Norcold warranty folks in Portland and they are
getting serial numbers so we can see if there is anything they can do. Also, Mary
told me that Sweet Home RV isn’t going to be able to do the install of the cooling
unit. She says that they don’t have the staff and also her husband can’t do the
work by himself. She suggested that we take it up to them in Portland. I have
no issues with that but asked them to coordinate everything and give me some
choices when I can take it there.
On the way home, we
stopped at the Weddle Covered Bridge to give Rylee a chance to run and play a
bit. Later, we got home and I went out and did some string trimming before
mowing. I always get the mowers out and started and left Lydia’s for her. I got
started and she came out and we got everything done pretty quickly. I set both
mowers on the lowest settings to get the grass down as much as I could. That
left a ton of clippings, but that’s on the list for tomorrow.
Oh yeah, we had
heard earlier in the day that my sister had jury duty today and got a seat in
the jury but was not kept. So, she’s done. We cleaned up and had dinner. Lydia
had made a crockpot meal and it was yummy. Later, we watched the finale of
America’s Got Talent. I was surprised at the order that the top ten finished in
but Shin Lim did win. Yeah!
Thursday, September 20th,
2018…... Today
was jury duty for Lydia, and teeth cleaning for me. She got up and going and
out early so she could park in close. I left a few minutes before nine and got
my visit done. I hung around inside the house for a while then went out and put
the catcher on my mower and got the grass clippings picked up. That took about
an hour. Lydia called me to tell me she was on a jury. Well, at least one of
the three of us got on a jury! A DUI
case. She was recessed for lunch. The case was expected to go to the jury later
today. But you know how these things can drag out. We’ll see.
Working out on the clippings, I quickly found out that I
need a bigger trash barrel. I had to wait until this morning after the Thursday
trash pickup was completed so I could start with an empty container. Well, I
filled that up with just the clippings from the west side of the driveway! I
have two more giant piles that will fill up two more containers. They tell me I
can add cans out on the street but each one will be an additional $8-12.00
charge. So, I will put these in the smaller cans I have scattered around and
transfer them when I have room. My sister’s (residential) neighborhood has a
container strictly for yard waste so I will probably go borrow it since she
rarely fills it. That will help a little. We don’t have that service out here
since we’re considered rural and can have burn piles and take care of our
own.
