Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 44.4 here at Alpha compound.
Root Beer gets new front tires this morning & the MKz gets an oil change.
Later this afternoon the Warden gets her semi-annual pump check.

Good afternoon. Took the day off today from my vacation to do some adult things like get chicken feed, get primer paint, and then primer paint the new sheetrock areas. One more step closer to being done with the never ending water leak repair. Need to mow so contemplating jumping on the tractor to get than done today so I fish the next 5 days. LOL
Back to the river tomorrow to hopefully catch more fish. Kinda nice being on the river with no one else around and putting fish in the boat. Everybody is whining about the poor returns and horrible fishing and I'm quietly filling my freezer. I've never seen such good water conditions this late in the season but then I've never fished this particular river before. Better to be lucky than good.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else.
Service job done on Lincoln, tires rotated.
New front tires on F350, finally. Short version, some employee took the tires set aside for my pickup and used them elsewhere. They had to do an emergency rush order form the Portland warehouse. I couldn’t reschedule beyond today. They got it done at 1730 this afternoon. The appt. was at 0800 to be done at 0900.
Wardens heart specialist appt. went well. Changed up some meds & will see her in 6 months.
Stopped at Bi-Mart and had a successful raid on the fishing supply section. Need to get back to Bravo and inventory the “Goldfish” tackle boxes that are up at Bravo.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 56 under clear sky.
Need to make a run to the recycle center with a bunch of milk jugs and cardboard.
1600 this afternoon I have a meeting with the Vet Service Officer and then it’s off for Bravo Compound.
Garage door people will be there in the morning. Going to install a new opener and all the support equipment on one of the big doors and one of the small doors. They were also going to replace / repair some header supports and header on the other big door but I’ve already got that done myself. Rails & chain drive reconnected along with torsion bar and spring brackets. So that door is good for another 30 years and saves some money.

Chris, we have a July 2nd install date for counters and July 9th for backsplash. Bathrooms are getting what we first picked but they didn't have enough for the kitchen so we had to choose a different quartz for it. Backsplash is quartz too.
