Month: September 2021 (Page 2 of 3)

–Mowed the law.

–Tried to test the Mares regulator sent to me from Germany by mistake. Because it’s European (I believe) the fittings don’t match. Don’t know what I’ll do with it–Pauli’s Tauchshop hasn’t responded.

–Took a shower. My birth-year razor (forgot what model it is) worked like a charm.

–Bought lots of stuff at Folsom and Sunrise farmers markets.

–Fair Oaks Chicken Festival moved from downtown to Fair Oaks Park. We learned this when we went at 11 AM; we also learned that it would start at 3 PM. Had lunch at Five Guys, came home.

–Replacement Weishi Timegrapher came in. Seems Fine.

–Cooler weather is here–for a while, anyway.

–Took Grace to Folsom for ultrasound and mammogram. Had “breakfast” at Peet’s; bought floss/Noxzema pads/shampoo at Target.

–Went to Orangevale farmers market for tomatoes, squash, peaches. Still no Salsa Chick.

–Went to the dermatologist. Was seen by a PA, not an MD. BUT it was the most thorough exam I’ve ever had, and she froze a sunspot and a couple of barnacles (seborrheic keratoses) free-for-nothin’.

–Barbecued some turkey burgers/corn/potato slices. (1) Turkey burgers were better on the indoor grill, where (I theorize) they get hotter and more charred, tasting less like thawed turkey. (2) Note to self: don’t use russets for barbecuing; they came out dry and mealy.

–Rode the canal with Tom Elken.

–Grace noticed a spouting leak in the solar panels; Aztec will be out the 24th. That’s like the third (at least) leak.

–Took a swim; took a shower.

–Mowed the lawn.

–Cleaned up a wee bit.

–Took Grace shopping at Bel Air.

–Left hearing aid battery died at 5 PM. Replaced both around 8 PM.

–Went to the Sunrise farmers market for Honeycrisp apples; the vendor selling them last week wasn’t there. Got some tiny Fujis and some Sunsprite pears from (possibly) the same vendor we frequented last season.

–And dot’s about it.

–What a day. Spent 2.5 hours at Verizon trying to get Grace’s phone activated. Seems there was a pending order (probably my first of several) that has to be canceled before activation. Should be any day now…

–Took a shower. Things are better…and it RAINED last night.
