20220525 - Up in the am and to the desk. L already doing party prep stuff. G and Trent up eventually and I got them started mowing the neighbors yard while L headed out for supplies. Back to the desk and G having all kinds of problems with mowing... I helped him get things running. Hazel heard a siren and we heard her howl for the first time today hahahaha! Back to the desk, L home and painted the threshold and walked around touching things up. J home for a minute before heading to work. I finished up my day and then listed some things on ebay. I headed out back with G and we put some stuff in the shed and then I got him started on stitching up the hole that started in the trampoline. Nate and Leo, his new puppy, came over to pay G for the mowing, let the dogs play and catch up from the winter isolation. We chatted for a bit and then J got home with JGF6, one of her friends and her dog Otis. So it was a pup-a-palooza in the backyard with dogs running everywhere, and they all got along. Nate, G and I headed out front to put new side lights in the Mercedes. We couldn't get them to work... Nate & Leo headed out and so did the girls and Otis. I went to move the car and the new side lights lit up! It was the light sensor, the lights only come on at night... They look cool! In and L&I watched Survivor. G had gone swimming some place and came home all in a tizzy because he swore they just saw the 'manchette killer' on Carpenter Rd. So we called the police and he filed a report. The rest of the evening was calm and we watched the season finale of Survivor and headed to bed.

Gathered up some mail, checked in with Cory and headed home. Home and getting a couple of things done at the desk. Lonie called and they are letting him out of the hospital early, so I jumped in the car and headed to Lancaster. Picked Lonie up, took him to his car and then followed him home and made sure he didn't need anything. Headed home, swung through the carwash on the way. Home and made some left over Chinese and got settled at the computer for the rest of the day. L ran G to baseball practice. After work I started taking the front door threshold apart and figuring out how to clean it up. Then I did a bit of repair work on Shelly’s arm and nose. L&G home and we ate. Gary and Marlene stopped by to drop off a table, check out my car and chat for a bit. L&I then headed to Home Depot and searched for the stuff to fix up the threshold.

Got the Mercedes and picked up the Mallonns and we headed to Forty Deuce for dinner. A really neat place that has a hidden speakeasy in it. The food was really good and we'll be back to go to the hidden section. We walked around Restoration Hardware a bit and looked at all the overpriced stuff. I took some pick of some kids there to get prom pictures. We stopped at the Mallonn's for a couple drinks and to chat some more. Home not to late but really tired and to bed early.

Back to the desk for a call exploring new phone systems for the business and then our external IT call. L home, it was her last day of school. I got a couple of ebay things shipped and had to run to the shipping place for one of them, a big old heavy metal crimping tool, so they could ship it for me. It was right next to the new gyro place so I put an order in and tried to call L to let her know she wouldn't have to cook tonight. By the time I got her to answer the phone the order was placed and she had started cooking hamburgers on the grill... Home and we ate. The gyros are not near as good as the ones at Nazareth. After dinner Lori, Hazel and I took walk, Stopped to look at Barnette's new roof, to chat with Penn along the road, met a new neighbor, Banja and his wife Sara, and walked through the car lot guy peeing behind the building.
