            Good morning to all, it is cool with temps in the 40s and we did not get the rain that had been predicted. I may run a test of the lawn sprinklers this afternoon (one minute per area) to see if they are all still working and if I don’t see any problems, I might let the sprinklers run a normal amount of time after the test. 

            Yesterday’s events; Went to Waco for a sandwich and the lady placed our order as usual, without asking us what we wanted. After eating and talking with the lady for a while we went to the cheap store where I purchased some weed and grass killer. The container has two one-gallon bottles in it, that might be enough for the fence along the ditch.

Back at home I decided to water the plants in the greenhouse, but before I started that I watered the black berry beds. We were supposed to get some rain yesterday afternoon but it had not arrived and I was not sure it would come, so I watered the berry beds. That finished I watered the flowers in the hot house, and I kept the water off the electrical wires.

I did get the two-wheeler from the shed and took it to the garage as I have ordered a present for Alex’s birthday and it weighs 90 pounds. The present is two 45-pound weights for his barbell set and I will use the two-wheeler to move them from the front porch when they arrive.

There was a piece of plywood in the hot house and I moved it to the garage. I found some hinges that I may use on the plywood for the folding table top that I hope to make.

I did pickup sticks and some Poopa-Loopa from the back and front yard. All that work done I went into the house where I had a piece of cherry cheese cake, and it was very good.

Today’s events; we will likely go to the cracker store for lunch and it is supposed to be warm enough this afternoon, that an ole senior person can go outside for a while without freezing.

We have two carts in the Fords ole garage and I have now learned that the plywood that I had intended to use to make a table top for the one cart, has been used in the past as a table top for the other cart, and it still fits on the other cart.

Well, I guess that is all for now, we hope you have a good day and please stay safe in all you do.

Weather is better.

Senior ole person who hopes to get outside for a while today, Don the Ford

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
