Friday, March 29th, 2019…... Looks
like we will have two days of sunshine. Today started out nice and got even
better! I took Rylee out for our walk. Our neighbor, Cory, stopped her car and
asked me to keep an eye out for a lost Jack Russell. The next neighborhood from
ours is behind them and across Oak Creek. A lady came around to her house who
was housesitting when the dog got out. She was frantic and thought the dog may
have somehow gotten across the creek. I’m sure Jack (the dog’s name!) is still
over there somewhere but we will keep a look out. Once Rylee and I finished our
walk we checked the property just to make sure. I came in and read the paper
and did the word jumble, and by the time I was done, Lydia was ready to go. She
had recently lost one of the screws out of her glasses and wanted an adjustment
so we needed to go to Albany, where she got them. I drove the Acadia and we
were halfway there when it hit me – I needed to bring the Honda so we could go
back to Costco (where we just got new tires) for the 25-mile lug-tightening
check. Duuuhh! Oh well, next time! We stopped first at Pop’s Branding Iron for
breakfast, then Lowe’s to buy what I needed for my workshop bathroom sink. I
want to replace the shutoff valves under the sink but I think I better remove
one first to see what the threads are (male/female?). We made another stop, at
Safeway, and got a few things for spaghetti for tonight and then headed home.
Once we got there, I guess I got lazy. I hung around the house and went online
and ordered a couple of new leashes for butthead and then paid some bills so I
never made it out to the shop. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow! Later,
Lydia fixed dinner and we had a quiet rest of the night and went to bed early.
Saturday, March 30th, 2019…… Another day of sunshine. But
walking the grass tells me it’s not ready yet to be mowed. Still way too soggy!
My neighbor told me that Walt used to complain about that every year. His was
always the last lawn to dry out enough to mow. He told me that Walt even wanted
to tear it all out and build up some more, harder packed dirt to replant on. I
sure wish he would have done that! But eventually we will be able to mow. Kirk
came by today and we got the Husqvarna mower started and he loaded it up to go
and mow one of his client’s lawns. He also told me that he did get hired by Lou
and they will figure out a schedule coinciding with our work here. I also spent
some time on my tractor. It needed to have the battery charged up a bit but
after a few hours, I was able to get it running. So, I’m ready – whenever the
lawn is!
Sunday, March 31st, 2019…... Nothing planned today. My sister
came by with Quincy and that meant that I had to rinse off and dry our wet and
dirty puppy after their run! Later, I
went and got us breakfast and we just hung around the house and watched tv most
of the day. We were going to go take a car ride (not sure where) but Lydia said
that since I was watching my races and she was doing laundry, and folks would
be out and about today, we would stay home and maybe go tomorrow. So, that’s
what we did. I ate a late lunch and wasn’t hungry for dinner so she ate
leftovers from Burger King. We had each ordered their chicken sandwich deal and
they give you two six-inch sandwiches and we only ate one each. So, she heated
up hers and I didn’t snack until later in the evening. That was our Sunday.
