Sorry, I thought I had already posted this blog…. Guess not!
Tuesday, November 10th, 2020…… Another cold day. But here when it rains, the temps usually go up. Hey, don’t ask me – I’m not a weatherman! So, it was in the high 40s most of the day. Just on and off rainshowers. We usually get light drizzly showers, but one or two times today it came down pretty hard for maybe as much as a minute or two! Kirk had Carter here by himself and I watched as he called it quits and headed for my shop for cover for a few minutes. But today I only had him cleaning up the piles of leaves around the small trees out front. It looks good again, just bare. Here is a pic of the Oregon Ash tree that is next to the driveway, before and after the frost!
Today, I had several things on my agenda. I had received a call yesterday that the replacement cord for my blind had come in. So, I took the time to go to get that plus while I was in town, I went to City Hall to pay my property taxes, then went to Costco to get a few things. The last stop on the way back home was in Lebanon at Wilco to get another bag of dog food while it was on sale. I got back home and got things put away and started laundry. While that was going, I put the assembled blind back up. They couldn’t find a cord exactly the same length as the old one so I had to relocate the bottom bracket but that was only two small screws and I was done. I guess I should have ordered two cords because I’m expecting the other one to fail at any time. Oh well…. I got all of the laundry done and put away and settled in to work on this blog for a while, only to look up and find it was already dark outside! Poor Rylee. I completely passed up her feeding time! It’s funny but dogs don’t have a time change in their habits, so she was really ready! No worries – she still loves me! I had leftover salmon and settled in to watch tv until bedtime.
Wednesday, November 11th, 2020…… Veterans Day! Please take some time today to thank a veteran for his/her service!
Another crappy day. Not a lot of
rain but just cloudy and yucky. Sis brought Quincy over for a run/walk with
Rylee. We brought them in and fed them and then headed off to Shirley May’s for
breakfast. Once we got home, I spent
some time cleaning the house a bit, then went on my phone and sent text messages out to my veteran
friends. I also worked a little on Lydia’s picture file on my laptop. I have
been having issues lately with my laptop. I have Microsoft edge and it seems to
always wanting to be installing updates. Teri says she will take a look at it.
She professes to be pretty good on computer systems and software. I made spaghetti for dinner and watched The
Amazing Race and The Masked Singer. I picked the Snow Owls correctly.
Thursday, November 12th, 2020…… Today, the weather was just ok. But after walking Rylee, I decided it was good enough to take a trip over to Albany. The other day, I had seen some floormats for my truck at Ross (I know – go figure!) and I wanted to go back and get them. I left but first headed south and went to Tractor Supply to check on my Cub Cadet touchup paint for the zero turn. Neither David nor Brian was there today, so I spoke to Jeff who took my name and number. Hopefully they will get that going. I made my way home via Albany and stopped and got the floormats and came home. It was raining so vacuuming the truck and installing the mats will have to wait…. I had leftover spaghetti for dinner and settled in and watched tv until bedtime.
Friday, November 13th, 2020…… I got up and going early this morning. I had Ryle walked and fed and then made my breakfast. Unfortunately, Teri texted me a little too late to ask me to breakfast but I went anyway and had coffee with her. I got home and spent a little time on my computer issues. Well, I’ve had to move my operation over to Lydia’s computer because I’m still struggling with mine. The new shelf I made for her sewing desk, for the keyboard (which I prefer over the laptop), works well and I may move everything in here soon.
