Month: April 2019 (Page 1 of 3)

–Went shopping at Bagelry and Safeway.

–Barbed output adapters for Flojet arrived. Didn’t come close to fitting. Turns out with the smaller Flojets you just stick a 1/4″ ID tube into the outlet port. No fittings needed. I might have known this if my memory lasted more than a day or two.

–Slow day. Roasted some Sweet Maria’s Ethiopian decaf. Okay, but not real different from most decaf.

–Took a shower.

–Went to PAMF Urgent Care Watsonville for gout on left second-to-big toe. Same doc saw me as for sudden hearing loss (Vaal Rothman). He thought it was simply an inflammation, as there was more pain pushing on swelling than manipulating the joint. He prescribed an antibiotic (Keflex), for which I stupidly paid $31 at CVS (didn’t show them my insurance cards). I still think it’s gout.

–Benchmade Boguszewski spike auto came in (snuck past the censors at eBay). Nice knife, though blade is way off center when closed.

–Went to the downtown Watsonville farmers market, got some hummus. Preponderance of vendors were selling prepared food. Also no prices showing. Probably higher for gringos…

–Got a tuna steak at Yamashita and grilled it over mesquite. Deelish.

–Went to Carmel Cutlery to return the two Laconicos I accidentally walked off with. Ended up buying a Kizer and a Case.

–Had lunch at Panera in Seaside. Expensive ($16.39) and very good.

–Took the BMW to Carmel to (a) get refund on Speedmaster 50th Anniversary at Hesselbein Jewelry; (b) visit Carmel Cutlery (bought a Bob Jones, walked off accidentally with 2 Laconicos); (c) look for wedding gifts for Susan/Izzy. Bought a coolmusic box at The Music Box; (d) Spend my REI dividend. Got some biking gloves, mosquito net, Tevas.

–Went to Home depot for various water filters. Replaced “whole house” filter. Ordered exterior fridge filter from eBay, will do same for internal fridge filter.

–Rivet bracelet came in from LA Watch Works. Was going to put it on 1972 5512, but noticed the date (1977) so put it on 1977 1680. Duh.

–Selle San Marco Rolls seat came in. Put it on InnerLight for now. Nice seat, nice bike.

–Moved record cabinet from den to living room.

–Jumped rope a little (very little).

–Took a shower.

–Went to harbor Freight for a free moving blanket for transporting bike frame in back seat of BMW. Might be a little small.

–Moved assisted pull-up/dip machine from den to my bathroom. Hard work.

–Built 2 Tekna needles, which actually worked!

–Watched the last episode of Raines.
