Carol & I slept in till 8:45 AM. That’s rare. We rushed down to the Jack In The Box and had their $2.99 jumbo breakfast along with their 50 cent senior coffee. Then it was off to Basha’s grocery store. They had asparagus on sale for 99 cents a pound. They were out of stock so we got a rain check along with other groceries we didn’t really need besides beer. Then on to get regular gas in the two 5 gallon cans for the ATV. Gas was $3.65 a gallon. then on to CVS to get three drugs. That turned out to be $45 for three 90 day supply. We ran out of money so it was time to go back to North Ranch. Mark came over to give the ATV a once over. He made several suggestions and Ed & I put him to work immediately on his suggestions. No problem and a 1/2 hour later WE were all done. Ed likes the supervisor job. I continued being the gopher. Go for this and go for that – gopher. Everybody departed and I oiled locks and adjusted the ratchets on the trailer for Tuesday's run to Lake Havasu.
I then decided to use some tools. I needed to screw a handle onto the LP heater and fix the leaky line. I took the LP line apart and then put back together using LP tape. I didn’t make it worse and it didn’t leak. I’m on a role. Next was the handle on the LP heater. Well, I nearly screwed my finger off when the drill slipped…oops. Nice little hole in my finger down to the bone. I think I need to refill my blood I’m running a little low this month. Now I know why Ed wouldn’t let me use his tools…liability and my well being.
I decided to take the rest of the day off. It got cold as the day went on and in the evening it even rained.
See ya….
