We had a road date to Mankato today. Sun shining and shirt sleeve weather. We have reached the halfway point in November and every day such as this is a blessing. I know it can’t last, but I surely am not going to take this for granted.
Gutter Helmet from Mankato came on Friday to trick out the garages: car garage with the pickup garage attached plus the garage porch. Two very friendly fellows. I know that the corrugated Onduline roofing would not be a roof of choice for the product to be installed onto. They were happy with their work and we were very happy to have it done . . . a win, win. That was the last of the property “fix-its” for Stauffer Avenue.
That same day, the city crew came and poured a portion of our sidewalk that had to be removed in the process of burying overhead lines. Mediacom and the city worked together for the hope that problems for service will be at a minimum.
Now it is up to Dennis and me to kick back a bit and let the checkbook take a breather. Well . . . that was after the pickup needed transmission fluid changed out and the fuel system cleaned. Jiffy Lube was one of our pit stops today. I admit, we go by the book. If the mileage indicates that items should be serviced, we do it. Both Dennis and I are too old to take chances for vehicle problems. The pickup has been a good ride, and it is paid for, and we have no intentions of shopping for a replacement due to negligence.
Here we are, looking another week square in the eye and I do have a few things in my sewing room that need my attention. Priority #1 is to work on a crocheted afghan that has had a hole chewed into it. Carrie’s no longer have the dog that was part Dingo and would chew, chew, chew. I am always up for a good challenge. It keeps the cobwebs at bay.
