20200930 - Up slow and L at work and J&G online for school. I had a slower day so I broke out the new PC and started the install process. I looked for the hard drive and couldn't find it. Lonie informed me that the tiny little chip I am pointing to is now what a 500GB drive looks like. AMAZING! After work L&I took G to a 15U game he got called up for. G held his own and had some nice hits that we caught in the outfield, but for playing up he did his job, especially in the cold and light rain. Home and was up way too late getting the new PC set up, then couldn't sleep...
20200929 + FUNd Run
20200929 + Up in the am and L at work and J&G online for school. I had my morning meetings and then got tangled up in unplanned stuff the shot the rest of the day. L pulled me out of the office to go to G's XC FUNd Run. It was a nice event and L&I walked the mile together in 20:19. I see no reason to run that far or in G's case twice that far... CRAZY After the event we headed home for dinner that we picked up at KFC on the way. We then settled in and watched the Presidential Debate. It was a horrible spectacle. I don't believe either of the men running and with our untrustworthy news providers I don't even know where to go to learn the actual truth. What a horrible state things have fallen to.
20200928 - NO SLEEP
20200928 - Up in the am, L at work and G online, I got J up so he wouldn't miss class and got to work myself. Spent the day at the PC catching up on all sorts of things. L home, G's xc practice cancelled, J in to work. I finished my day at the desk late and headed out to have dinner with L&G. After we ate I headed to Scouts to drop off awards, Home Depot to return pipes I didn't need this weekend, swung through McD's to see how late their lobby was open (trying to find a place for Bible Bangers to start back up...) and dropped off a package at the post office. Home and back at the desk finishing up a couple things and then watched some football with L, G joined us after we shut his internet ff for being too loud... All to bed, I DID NOT SLEEP AT ALL...
20200927 + Farm Work
20200927 + Up in the am and L got G from sleep over and he went to bed, J to work and L&I headed up to the Farm. I got tools and parts loaded up and I opened the garbage disposal we bought last night just to make sure it had a dishwasher connection. It did but I also found out the disposal in the box was an old one that someone had returned... So on the way we stopped at Home Depot and swapped it out for an actual new one, that I opened in the store to confirm it was brand new. It was a nice day and a quick drive. We got there and for whatever reason dad wanted to review all the things we looked at last weekend, so we looked at the breaker in the milkhouse, looked at the wiring to the water heater and then looked at the garbage disposal... Land mom headed out to buy cat and cow food and lunch for us and I got to working on the garbage disposal. 30 min later new disposal in and working perfect and aerators replaced on the kitchen and utility room sinks. L and mom showed up and we had a nice lunch. John and Mary showed up and we chatted for a bit before we headed down to the Farmhouse where in short order I removed and bypassed the old knifed fuse box to the water heater. There was plenty of other small things that could be done but dad wasn't feeling up to it so we all sat on the front porch and chatted a bit before L&I headed home. We got home and L ran G to basketball and we had pork chops on grill and watched football on the back porch while I got next week lined up for work. In and watched some more football until we all headed to bed.
20200926 - 16th and Lead Off
20200926 - Up in the am L had ran G to catch the bus for a XC meet. I got around and L&I headed to Pickerington to watch G run, he got 16th out of 139 kids and was mad because the top 15 got plaques and he missed it by 1 second... We got G and headed to Berliner for a baseball game. it was G's 1st game with new baseball team. G was the lead off hitter and got a standup double on first at bat and he played short the entire game. The boys looked really good for never playing in a game before, but their hitting needs work. The game was a success and they won, Arsenal (7) @ Licking Valley (2). Home and L&I ran to Home Depot to get some supplies to take to the Farm for tomorrow's repairs. L ran G to a bday party sleepover. The McClains came over and we walked downtown for a couple drinks and dinner and to catch up. We walked back home and hung out around the new fire table for a bit before they left. I was up late watching TV and J headed out camping for the night.

20200923 - Busy Doing Little
20200923 - Up in the am and L at work and J&G online for school. I got some work done and got things lined up. Did some Booster stuff and then L home. J headed out with friends and LG&I had dinner. G vanished to his room and L&I took Lilly on a walk. L left us at Bob & Tina's corner and Lily and I took the shorter way home. Back tot he house and finished up Booster stuff. D had his frist day at Amazon today, said it went well. Talked to dad and he's frustrated with a heart monitor he has to wear for 30 days, watched some TV with L and read a book about publishing a blog to an actual book until bed time. Couldn't fall asleep again...

20200921 - This is a mess!
20200921 - Up in the am and L at work and J&G sleeping because they don't have class again today for whatever reason... I got things done around the house and online for work and L texted me, apparently G does have school today and missed all morning... This is a mess!
20200920 + Proof of Light
* Spring in Orchard Notes: there are two plastic tub covers. The one further up the hill is dead, don’t waste time on it. The one downhill is a sump pump basin with no bottom and holes drilled in the sides to let groundwater in. This one is active and connected to the hoses
