20240428

20240428 - L headed over to Gma&paB’s to see a concert with Nicole. Up late and carried all the things I have to do out to the table in the porch. Stack of stuff is so big I decided to do none of it and took Hazel to the dog park. We stopped at Wendy's to get some food on the way home and then ate on the back porch while watching TV. I think thought I should go in and get a pad of paper to organize all this stuff I have to do... Then I thought, no, I need to put it in OneNote so I should get my computer. But if I use my computer I will have to run an extension cord. But I' haven't finished installing the new outlet on the back porch yet, so what if I add another outlet where I sit so I don't need an extension cord?! SO I started construction that took WAY LONGER than expected, but now i have an outlet right above where I sit, so no more extension cords needed! Then I noticed the bug zapper wasn't working and many of the lights we have strung up don't work... So I took down all the lights, ordered a new bulb for the bug zapper and started hanging new lights. L home, not impressed her new storm door wasn't on :-) but she helped be find lights and we got some new ones up and it looks great. It took in the stuff from the porch I didn't get done and couldn't leave outside and relaxed the rest of the evening.

20240427 + Up in the am and L&I headed to the ball field with a stop at Kroger to get weiners. Got the stand opened up and headed up to the pressbox. G started and played well today and the boys won. Perfect day for a game. Home and L started mowing, then scratch and BOM! A little old lady pulled right out in front of someone at the end of our road. I called 911 and observed for a couple min before starting on the license plate project. Got L’s new plate on and then started to install a new outlet on the back porch. L finished mowing and we headed across the street to sit and chat with Doc for a bit. He’s skinny as can be, hunched up a can’t see a thing. It was great to see him outside and catch up. L then wanted to go to Home Depot to get a new storm door for the front of the house. We picked up sandwiches from Popyey’s on the way home. Got things unloaded then sat on the porch for a bit. L in to color her hair. Hazel and I in. We turned on Netflix, another slow show, so tried another. I stayed up late researching CarPlay for L’s new car. 

20240426 - New Wheels for L

20240426 - Up in the am and at the desk. Took Hazel on a walk and made some calls. D stopped over so I had him go with me to the car lot to test drive the car we’re looking at. We drove it and they fixed the  brakes and shake. They had another nice car there that D and I took out and swung by the house for L to try, she didn’t like it.  Back to the dealer and started the deal on a car for L. D had to leave for a game so I took him home and got J to run me to TUFFY to get the license plate off of G’s old car and then to the dealership to finish the deal on a 2010 Mercedes Benz GLK 350. Got everything done and headed to G’s game in New Albany with the new (used) car. Got to the field and got the camera set up. Gma&paW were there to watch the game. G played well but the boys lost. Gma&paW, L, D, DGF13 & I headed to Rusty Bucket for a nice dinner. Home and L checked out her new car.

Headed home and stopped at the car place to check out the car and get a Carfax report, they got eh front rotors replaced today and the seat they ordered was the wrong color. Home and sat on the back porch with L and Hazel. J home and told us about his day. G home and chatted a bit. He took his car title to Tuffy and got the cash for the car, cleaned it out and taught the guy how to use the fancy stereo he had installed. Pretty proud of him for doing all that... In and L&I tried to watch a movie "Hold the Dark", it was supposed to be a thriller but it was slow and SUCKED! I filled our applications for car loan. Up late on phone scrolling through stupid stuff.

Got to the office and met with Spectrum about our new Internet service we are getting, and shortly after with AT&T about our backup service we plan to install. Hijgmout and chatted with Cory a bunch today. Spent time with Lonie and MattR in the basement doing IT stuff. Late in the afternoon 4:19pm I got some texts from parents asking if we had a game today. Apparently we do. I guess I’m out of the loop for sure. So I created the event in Team App to let the parents know. There was no way I was going to make it there by 5 and I texted G and he’s not playing, so I just kept working. Finished up my day, took out the trash and headed home. Home and J&I had some pizza and wings on the back porch while I chilled out and threw the ball to Hazel.

I forgot Hazel outside and she got soaked. I was at the desk most of the day. Took a break to take Hazel on a walk. Headed to the baseball field and got things set up in the concession stand and then headed to the press box. Got everything up, got the rosters 7 min before game start… and got things rolling. 1 inning in and lightning struck and the skies opened up with rain and hail. Game got suspended to another day and we headed for the car and got SOAKED! I dropped L off at home and then headed to Signature’s for bingo with Tom.
