Doing time...

Ho hum, a rather boring day today.  I feel like I'm doing time.  Andy and his family left around 9:00 to go garage sailing.  They invited me to go, but I spent several hours yesterday doing that with Kelly and the kids.  That's about my limit of enjoyment for the next ten years!

Once they left, I thought I might do a couple of loads of laundry, but they locked the house up tight.  Okay, maybe I'll take a drive over to Rice Lake State Park and look for morel mushrooms.  Hmmm, my car is pinned between the front of the RV and Andy's work car.  Alrighty then, it looks like a day at home.  I expected the family back about 11:00, so that shouldn't be much of a problem.  Well, it's now almost 6:00, and they just pulled into the driveway.  The boys are crying and Andy said he's exhausted. 

Guess I'll just settle in for a night of Netflix movies.  :)  Apart from being bored today, the time just isn't flying for me until Tuesday when I have a 2:00 appointment to see the rig.  If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'm definitely going somewhere!

Tuesday is chore day

Yep, once a week I try to cram all my chores into one day.  Today was the day.  I threw a load of laundry into the washer as I headed out for groceries.  I decided to drive to Beaumont, TX, today to the HEB store.  The two big grocery chains in this neck of the woods are Kroger and HEB.  I like HEB.  The Market Basket store in Winnie is a lot closer, but they just don't have the selection that HEB does, and their prices are higher.  I filled my three re-usable bags to the brim, so I'm set for a while.  I also like HEB because today I could buy two nice pork chops instead of a family sized package.  I don't have room for six pork chops in the little freezer compartment if I want to have a variety of frozen protein.

Next was the hardware store in Winnie.  I wanted to replace the nozzle on my kitchen faucet.  For almost five years I've had one of those swivel things where you have a choice of a steady flow or a spray.  I almost exclusively use the spray, but lately when I turn on the water, it sprays all over the counter.  I've tried cleaning it, but to no avail.  When I got home, I replaced the old one so now I won't have to wear a raincoat when I do the dishes.  ;)

About the only exciting thing that happened today was when Stephanie stopped over at the RV pads this afternoon.  She wanted to let me know that we would be doing some more salinity tests on Thursday or Friday.  The exciting part is that the water control structures where we will be testing can not be reached by car.  We'll be taking the air boat to cruise over the marsh.  A ride through the marsh on an air boat is one of my favorite things.  Yahoo!!!

Do any of you remember the TV mini-series from the 70's called Centennial?  It was based on a book of the same name by Michener.  I enjoyed when it first aired, and decided to watch it again using my Netflix account.  I've finished with five disks so far and am waiting for the last disk to arrive.  There were so many big name stars in this mini-series.  I'm really enjoying it.  Remember Clay Basket, Pasquinal, Levi Zendt, Brumbaugh, and the others?  What a great story.  It's no wonder that it was recommended by the National Education Association.

Maybe tomorrow for excitement I'll clean the community building, or start the massive laminating job that is awaiting me. LOL
