Brief rain shower this morning, but it delivered about an inch and a half.
Supposed to meet Cindy and Cathy for breakfast, but both are not feeling well.
Uploaded some images for John.
Found a $50 bill at the Commons! Gave it to Peter and Robert. Checked out the last block party of the season.
Sweated gallons today and felt like I’d emerged from a sewer for most of this afternoon.
Ron has been watering the “U”.
I did two loads of laundry but used the dryer; it was too humid.
Partially filled in the “cave”, enough to substantially improve the drainage.
Drove Robert to work, brought him a half cake from the senior center. Bought savory at the herb shop.
Returned the hinges to Wood Lumber and got a handle for the door. Ron installed hooks and the handle. Picked up a wired mouse at Staples and a few groceries at Shaw’s.
Tried to catch a showing of “Peter and John” at the library but they were maxed out.
Paid mortgages, state and federal income tax quarterlies, property taxes, HFCU, Home Depot.
Nice message from Matt Mitko about the stump grunding, he plans to be here some day next week.
Did a little task for Jim today. Asked Isabel to please start testing credit card processing.
Picked up Alpha this afternoon and dropped off Ron’s van to GMC. His A/C is on the fritz.
Laura offered the use of her van! Her kindness continues to amaze me. She gave us a nice bunch of rhubarb, too.
We managed to cram three of us in the truck. I needed the step stool to get in and out of the back, but otherwise, it wasn’t too bad except for the stupid seat belts.
More BSODs. I’m about ready to bring this laptop to the “doctor”! The problem seems to be with SonicWall.
Laura invited us to cool off in her pool.
I was Robert’s driver today.
Emma lent me some stencils for the shower sign.
I think I’m done with John’s project.
Hot today – over 90 – didn’t do much outside. Ron is mowing the lawn now. Weed Man was by.
Brought tomatoes, cukes and squash to Edgewater.
More work on John’s project. Finally got access to the administrative interface. Client had given me the wrong URL and login credentials.
Went looking for outdoor shower decorations: Mashpee Commons, Marshalls, the shop on 151, a consignment store. Didn’t find anything I liked until I came upon a pile of what looked like leftover yard sale goods, which included a perfect sign and two post hole diggers. I will repaint the sign which now reads “CHATHAM” to “ROCK THE BOAT”.
Grilled turkey burgers (scallions, bread crumbs and soy sauce), fries, grilled zuccini and salad for supper. Stuffed!
Washed linens, hung them out to dry, made bed.
Transfer station.
Uploaded files to NEPS to fix some bad image links.
Greatly enjoyed the Brazilian festival at the Cotuit Center. They entertained us with a variety of Brazilian music and fed us at a buffet from Brazilian Grille in Hyannis.
What was not to like?!
I was there from 4:30 to after 9 pm. Particularly enjoyed Berkshire Batteria and Clas Da Bossa Nova.
Cleaned out the shed of old chemicals and brought a bagful plus the Scotts to the annual hazardous waste collection. Brought a box of receipts for shredding. Saw Catherine, lobbied again for a swap shop and a coffee bar!
Poked around for decorations for the outdoor shower but didn’t find anything we liked.
Did laundry, saved 50 cents by drying outside.
Some programming.
Ron tried to clean chairs with the power washer.
I lost my reading glasses and can’t find the receipt from Wood Lumber.
Watered the rhodies and skimmias, as well as the grasses by the foundation.
Omelet and English muffins for supper.
One of the best home improvements we’ve made!
The outdoor shower is installed. Ron took the first and loved it!
