January 29, 2026

Good morning, it's above freezing this morning and we are happy. I did get Alex to school on time and safely. I have a photo from this morning as Tres, and I went to the front yard I noticed the beautiful sun rise. The sun rise was prettier in real life than it is on the photo.

                 Yesterday's events: I did get to go to the store, and I bought a lot of things. I did not find any chili beans as I wanted 4 cans. There was a place in one aisle and its sign said Chili. They had various cans of chili, but I wanted Chili beans not chili, I can make the chili if I have the ingredients. Since I did not find the beans, I also did not get any ground beef.  My favorite wife said I should have got the ground beef so we could have used it to make other food items. Wow, I guess I will get to go to the store again. I noticed that a lot of shelves were almost empty. I guess everyone is shopping and maybe not all the employees are coming to work.

                I went to George's restaurant yesterday afternoon to get a couple items for supper. I got the orders to go after sitting there for about 20 minutes. I should call the order in and then I would not need to wait as long if I called them in.

                Yesterday morning when I went to the store the side streets were partially clear and partly covered with ice. I did not have any problems driving but I did drive carefully. Yesterday afternoon when I went for supper most of the side streets were clear. I was careful this morning when I went to get Alex, there were very few areas with ice on the streets and most of the streets will be clear.

Wow, I did get a real cup of coffee from the star coffee company this morning before picking up Alex.    

                We were supposed to get 7 pieces of mail and one small package yesterday. The mail man left one letter, and it wasn't important. Where are the rest of our mail and the package? Today we are supposed to get 8 pieces of mail and one small package, we will see if they deliver or not.

                The trash people did not pick up any trash yesterday; our trash cart has been on the curb for four days now and they have not come by. A good friend called the city and learned that the trash pickup will not be until next Monday, but they will be picking up the recycling items today. They normally get the recycle on Wednesday.

                I guess I should take the kerosene heater and fuel back to the shed, but we have another cold front coming in a couple days so maybe I will wait.

                I need to get a new vehicle to replace the van, I need to get busy with this. The van needs to be cleaned and all the items inside it removed and donated. For some reason I think about this but do not get to work on it. If I start talking to a dealer about price, I need to have the van available as a trade in. The van is in good condition with only a couple of small problems, no mechanical problems and it only has 40,000 miles on it. Yep, I guess I am just lazy, or maybe my favorite wife needs to stay on me to not sit around.

                I am stopping for now, we hope you have a good day and that we all stay safe in all we do.

Don the Ford

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