Tuesday, May 7th, 2019…... This
morning I got up early and got Rylee walked, then I headed over to walk Quincy.
My sister was headed up to Salem for an early-morning Drs. appointment. I took the
Q out for to the Santiam River for a good walk/poop and then brought her in and
fixed up her breakfast. On the way home, I stopped by and got our breakfast.
Kirk came over today and worked on our ditch out by the road. I still have
standing water in the ditch and there are green plants that are doing well in
that water. I want that dried up so I had him pull out all of the vegetation,
which will help. He also brought our mower back this time, so now tomorrow we
can use both of them and get the back field mowed. Two makes it go so much
faster. I won’t let Lydia on the mower right now so Sis will come and help
tomorrow. The weather right now is awesome! It was 86º yesterday and got to 78º
today. I saw on the news that SoCal is getting rain, so things are now
reversed! I also spent an hour or so and installed the ceiling fan we just
bought in my room. It’s got a remote so I’m thrilled (it’s a guy thing)!
Not
much else planned today.
Wednesday, May 8th, 2019…… Today was lawn mowing day. My sister wanted to come
over with Quincy and then go to Jack in The Box and get breakfast then come
back and help me mow the lawn. She wanted to get started before it got hot. Good
plan, except that we went to Kevin’s for breakfast. Much better. When we got
back, Lydia watched the puppies and I got the string trimmer out and started
around the faucets, and sprinkler heads and then got both tractors out and
started. We got going and it went smoothly – for the most part. We have three islands, two out back. One of
those is irrigated, the other isn’t. It has a few trees but not much else and
its way back on the property so we decided to let it go back to grass rather
than weed and mulch it. My problem came when I went over the berm and didn’t
see the log laying in the high grass! It caused my drive belt to disengage.
Actually, it came off the pulley. It took a few minutes to get it back to
concrete to be able to get to it and get it back on and get out there again. But
all in all, it went pretty well and looks good. I will get Kirk to string trim
the reeds on the creek and it will be good to go for a while. Afterwards, my sister went home and showered
and did a few errands and then came back for Quincy. I crashed in my chair and actually
slept for a while. Later, it was my turn to go out to get dinner – Taco Bell.
We ate that then later I watched Survivor and Amazing Race. Lydia was tired and
went to bed early. She’ll watch it tomorrow.
Thursday, May 9th, 2019…... Our day was laid back for the
most part. I walked Rylee and then fixed my breakfast. Just before 10:00am Lydia
went to get her nails done but before she left, we had decided to go to Eugene
and see Marvel’s End Game. I took Rylee out and played with her to wear her out
and when Lydia got home, we took off to Cinemark. We liked the movie, although
you really have to know all of the Avenger’s characters to stay caught up. We
did ok, and were able to follow it for the most part so it was a good movie. It
was a long movie so afterward I texted my sister and asked her if she would run
over to the house and feed the monkey butt while we stopped at 5 Guys and had
dinner before heading home. Then it was tv until bedtime.
