Hay, it looks like another good morning here at the Ford homestead. I just changed my mind; the day is starting off not so good. I am at the ole desk and I have a half glass of milk along with a breakfast sandwich. The cat jumped on the desk, so I move the half glass of milk and sandwich placing it on top of the shredder. The cat jumps off the desk, so I reach for the half glass of milk, and I knock it over onto the floor. Then I began the clean-up. What a start to a day.
Yesterday I did nothing again, well I did a couple things starting with a haircut. The lady who cut my hair was the first to ever comment on my neckless. Photo to follow.
I made the cross out of a piece of scrap wood and I where it most of the time in an effort to let others know I believe in God. This lady was the only person who ever commented on the neckless. Oh, by the way, she did an excellent job on my hair, I now have about half as much hair as before. 😊
After the haircut I went and picked some clothes up from the cleaners. My favorite wife and I went to the Wally world to see if we needed a flu shot, we learned that we did not need it, yet. On the way home I stopped at the chicken place to get some lunch, and I forgot to ask for the senior discount. Back at home I had lunch and then rested from all the morning events.
Resting over, I decided to continue the removal of leaves from the flower beds in the front yard. I was using the leaf blower and a rake. The wind was also blowing so when I used the leaf blower some of the leaves would stay air born and float away. Yep, the street and neighbors got a few leaves. The photo shows some of the leaves that have been removed and there are more to remove.
Tres and I went out into the back 40 to get an item from the shed when Tres began to growl. It was as if he saw a stranger in the yard, so I looked around and I saw it. There was a buzzard in the tree about 10 feet above us. Then the buzzard flew off and Tres ran barking at him.
After the battery on the blower went dead, and the things put away, my favorite wife and I decided to sit outside for a while. I got a call from Dave saying they were off from work, and he would get the kids from school, so my favorite wife and I decided to go to town and see if we could get another leaf blower. I had checked the prices on the blowers and the price of the battery. We were able to get a leaf blower, battery and charger for $179.00 plus tax, and the battery online was $169.00.
Back at home I put the blower together, it is mostly like my ole blower, and I put the battery on the charger. Then we decided to change things and go to supper, aka date night, on Wednesday instead of Thursday. The food was good, and the service was also good.
Food eaten we returned to the homestead, and I did a little testing of the new blower, it worked as expected. We did sit outside until about 6:30 yesterday, the weather was good, and the days are getting longer.
That is all for now, we hope you have a good day, please stay safe in all you do.
Person who moves leaves.
Senior ole person who needs a break from all this work, Don the Ford
May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
