Dennis and I are on top of the “to do” list on Stauffer. We have our handyman nailed down to put the new ridge cap on the back garage. He delivered what he needed from the lumberyard and will start work in the morning. In visiting with Kenny, he said he would also paint the Onduline roof on the front garage. Dennis and I made a trip to Mankato for the black high gloss paint needed to seal it for the next five to six years. We would have purchased it locally, but they only had one gallon on hand. When you have a handyman on site, the last thing one needs is to have him stall out for lack of materials. As soon as I am done with this update, I will be going online for the rebate of $5.00 per gallon of paint, which will pay for the trip to Mankato.

As we drove into the driveway from Mankato, there was a package with the new modem from Mediacom on the front steps. That has been successfully installed and all that needs to run off of it is working properly. Of course, it didn’t happen without a call for tech support. It is most likely an old lady thing working with modern technology. Dennis is already out to the UPS station with the old one boxed up. The warning was stated that there would be a $300 charge if Mediacom did not receive the old one within 5 to 7 business days. Have at it!

We just don’t know how our counter parts, people our age, can tell us they are bored.
