Today was one of those days that we did more running in and out of town that we did work. At least it was all one day instead of every day. Things like getting the mower tires fixed, Post Office, bank, gas, drug store. It took at least two hours from getting to Farm & Fleet to picking up the finished tires. Then we drive off without the new wheel barrow, duh. I am going to start keeping post it notes in the truck, WITH a pen.
So this is what we accomplished. We loaded the lumber on the truck and then started to clean up the plaster. About 5 or 6 wheel barrow loads later we decided to go and unload the truck. That way we take a short break and get the truck unload. We also wanted to get in town to have the mower tires fixed and get a new ignition for the mower. Oh and after that we needed to go the the Morrison Post Office. Of course the Farm & Fleet is in Sterling. When we get to the store they can't help us with the ignition, which we have with us, they need the model of the mower. So then we have to was about 15 minutes to get the tires started. Only one person in at the tire desk. While there I get a call the my prescription was called in by the doctor & I can pick it up. Now we wait for them to finish the tires. So we walk around the store for a while and wait some more. We finely get the tires and drive away.
We run over to Rock Falls, its across the Rock River from Sterling. That is where the drug store is. Of course it wasn't ready so we would have to come back. So off to Morrison.
We get to Morrison and make our stops and off we go back to Round Grove. As we unload we realize that we didn't pick-up the wheel barrow. We were to get that by driving around to the east side of the building at Farm & Fleet. So, oh well lets just go back and get it now we thought, had to get my prescription anyway. So off we go, back to Sterling.
From there things went as planned. When we were done it was after 5pm. I when off to the farm, that is where the mower is and took a picture of the mower to have to model number. Then I occurred to me that I couldn't remember where the lug nuts were.
Now you might be thinking that I'm really really stupid. This is not normal for me. I just over did it this last week. The additional meds should take care of this. Cross your fingers.
And I do think I know where the lug nuts are. ;-&
I had to go out tonight and get this picture of the lumber now stacked in the garage. Tomorrow we started at 9am and hope to finish taking the plaster off the walls and dumped into the basement. I guess we shall see????
Firstly would you prefer me to call you Gordon or Sterling. I know what you mean about interuptions to your work - I do farm work to and it frustrates me to when you are half way through a job and your missing a tool or a part it certainly messes your day up - least you you took a day to tidy up loose ends.
ReplyDeleteTalk about tidy you guys did a great job judging by the last photo in this post.
Glad the meds are working ok but just be careful they help problems and not temporarily mask the problem. Loosing 20 pounds - great, your just under the half way mark to your goal. Amazing what working can do. I'll just drop you a line on your other post [got the 2 of them together when I checked by tonight.
