A Simple Saturday

Leave a comment

I’ve had both a busy and lazy day. Wrapped it up with a nice dinner at Kelsey’s Restaurant and Irish Pub in the evening. Great Crab Toast app and Burger with coleslaw. We decided to go out when the power went out from the storms.

My better half’s parents used to dine there often. The place is growing on me. The booths are very nice, and service has always been great, like the food.

BG&E was working earlier in the week on the pole in the backyard and several of the electrical boxes along our street. I’m all for what they are doing because there are less outages and when we do have them, they have been corrected quickly.

The trip to Home Depot on a Saturday wasn’t the smartest idea but we survived. They didn’t have one thing for the mower even though they carry John Deere products.

I did manage to squeeze off a few shots between the clouds, sun, and rain.

I’ve had a major setback. The mower I wanted to purchase won’t fit into my existing shed. And a new shed isn’t in the budget right now even though we need a bigger one anyway. I store a push mower and pressure washer inside because there is no room for them.

So. I guess I’m looking at fixing my old one for the time being, so I don’t have to push cut the whole yard. I’m so ready to be done with the issues with the old tractor. Step 1 is pulling the old dead battery out of it and find a replacement. Completed and it started.

Got the air and oil filter part # and I’ll be off to the store this morning for those and some oil. I hope it last another year till we can get a bigger shed.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • I feel like I’m turning nocturnal again.
  • The only ink on this body is when my grandchildren draw on me.
  • He’s lied to you. He will continue to lie to you. Because that is all that one trick pony knows.
  • I went to a new dentist for the first time in almost 4 decades this week. I was pleased.
