I got an early 6 a.m. start to the regular
Monday work grind. I honestly didn’t get
all that much done, but it was a start.
And I did return to the computer later in the afternoon, and I did get a
lot done then, so the workday wasn’t a total loss.
So what was I doing in the meantime? It was take the car in to the mechanic for an
oil change day. It has been continually
bumped to the back burner ever since we started work on the truck, but as my
Dad used to say, “Change the oil, keep the car.” Of course we learned that this particular car
requires synthetic oil. Not an option,
of course. And Synthetic oil is more
expensive that regular oil, of course.
Cha-ching.
We also had to get some yardwork done. The grass was beginning to take over,
especially in the neighbor’s yard right next to our fence. I mowed a strip over there and ran the
weedeater. If I can keep a handle on
that strip it should keep the stickerburs out of our yard. Speaking of which, I had to hand pull a large
pile of them from the front yard. Evil
interlopers. When Chris wasn’t sweeping
up after my edging, she was watering her pot plants. Er … that would be her plants that reside in
pots. Of course you knew that. Didn’t you?
Anyway, the green thumb lady was hard at work.
We finished up just in time. The car was ready for pickup and we made it
back and located the station showing the Astros game right after Altuve hit his
first inning home run. Of course that
was the last real Astros highlight of the day.
Bad loss in that one. Now they
bring back Verlander on short rest. Early
afternoon game again, even though the Yankees already won their game. No respect.
Sometime after the final out it started
raining. Guess we finished the yard work
just in time. The temperature even
dropped below 80 degrees. Now that’s a
development. Feel free to keep more of
that coming …
Deuteronomy 6:4 says, “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one.”
Father, this cool weather really is
nice. Thank you for the pleasant
change. Amen.
