Monday, Sep 16th, 2019…… This morning I decided that since
it was raining, I would work inside the house and install the bathroom
fixtures. But first I had to take Quincy out for her little walk/run/poop out
in the field. Lydia or Penny lets out the monster puppy after we work our way
back to the back field. They go through their ‘field tests’ to get treats and
then they come back in and get wiped down and then get their breakfasts. Then
we can eat. I went and got coffee/tea and then came home and ate my breakfast
burrito from yesterday. The lights were pretty easy to do. Simple disconnects
and rewiring and I was done. J&J didn’t have the clear bulbs that Lydia
wanted so I used what we had. These pics are from the next day after I picked
them up and installed them. The old fixtures had three lights each and these
have four.
Much
brighter light and the clear bulbs make it even better so even us blind
squirrels can find our nuts every now and then. Boy, that came out wrong!
The rains
let up a bit and were off and on all day. Still way too wet to pick up the
grass. Forecast is for more of the same for the next week or so. So, stay put
grass, I’ll come and get you later!
My sister
wanted to take us out to dinner tonight and we chose The Depot in Albany. I love their
seafood especially their scallops. The girls had the combo plates. It was all
good (because I got Lydia’s oysters too!). Thanks, Sis! We came home after stopping by Penny’s house
to pick up more of Q’s dog food and rested for the evening.
Tuesday, Sep 17th, 2019…... Rainy morning again. I got the
dogs out with no problem and headed out to get breakfast for us all. Today was
Mickey D’s. I found out they can make an egg and sausage and cheese breakfast
sandwich without the bun! Instead of a wrapper, they just put the whole thing
in a little box. My sister is doing her keto diet and doesn’t want to eat
bread, so this worked out for her and she knows she can go there again when she
wants. A little later, I headed off to Lowe’s to get some sanding discs for my
angle sander. These are for knocking off the rust on the trailer. I found each
one was $8.97 but they had a five pack for $8.97. Guess which one I bought! The
checker thought that they forgot to unwrap the pieces before stocking them but
she said that was on them, and that she was going to give me what it scanned for - $8.97! Score! I also found those clear light bulbs and
bought eight of them.
Kirk came
today and lucky for him it was not raining. I had him weed the blueberry bed.
We talked about a plan for re-installing the five poles around it, which he and I will do
together. While I was out there, I started picking the grapes. These guys are
ready! They are small grapes and we are told they are just called table grapes, but they
are really sweet! I picked a bowlful for us
and some
for Kirk to take home. Meanwhile, Lydia
and Penny left to go to Walmart to pick up stuff for spaghetti for tonight and
a few other things we needed. She and I caught up on Guys Grocery Games and then
later, we watched the finale of America’s Got Talent. We picked our top five in
order so we’ll see tonight who is closer (but we both agreed that Kodi Lee
would win).
Wednesday, Sep 18th, 2019…... Just a goof off day for us. I had
the dogs out and worked them a bit in the back yard. My sister took some pics….
and then
came in and ate breakfast. Later, I worked on my bills for a bit and then went
out to work on the boat trailer some more. Those discs I bought are perfect for
what I needed! I got a few parts sanded down and went out and disassembled a
few more pieces and started on those. I had the tv on out in my shop so I just
kept working away. Finally, I quit for the day and came in and cleaned up and
rested and watched tv. Lydia made burritos
for dinner and we watched our tv programs until it was time for America’s Got Talent. We all
three had picked our final five and the order we liked them. We all got Kodi
right as the winner. It was a no-brainer! But we all missed on the choir. I had
picked Ryan and the Voices of Service and the girls had V Unbeatables. I think
Emanne and Ryan will be stars soon.
