Greetings, gang.
Some light is peeking out through the blackout curtains put up by the NWS last night. 68 now going to the low 90s today and tomorrow. Looks like I'll need to fire up the a/c later on.
Yesterday went fairly well. After a quick trip to a nearby grocery store I started cleaning and putting away the tools from the last 4 weeks. I did break down and get a couple of independent opinions. One sided with me and the other chose the lighter color. A second set of the darker color has been ordered and the lighter color will be returned for a credit. I still need to order a small curtain for the last window and something for the mostly glass front door.
I also got the acorns cleaned up and as I was finishing up a neighbor stopped over and said he would haul them away for me. Cool! In the evening I went to the football game where my great-grandson was in the marching band. We all left after half time. The game was pretty much over by then anyway. 41-6 at halftime and a final score of 54-6. Also got to use my season pass for the first time last night.
Today is Saturday and of course that means laundry. Also on the agenda is a bike ride before it gets too hot. Then at 11 is college football. After that will be some additional cleaning and then steak and corn on the cob for supper.
Mikey - thanks for the heads up. Fortunately the new rugs so far are laying very flat. I will definitely be keeping an eye on them though.
After the big price run up of gas on Tuesday it's dropping again. Down to $2.96 when I came back to town last night.
All stay safe.
Tom
