Greetings, gang.
One more warm day before the temperature starts to fall. 77 for the high today the dropping to the upper 30s by the weekend. Rain chances 40% to 90% for the next several days.
Yesterday was one of those good news, bad news, good news, bad news, etc. days
While I was adding water to the water bed -
bad news - the hose sprung a leak.
good news, it did not soak the carpet in the hallway.
bad news - it got the wood floor in the spare room rather wet.
good news - the room was right next to the main bath so lots of towels were quickly applied to the floor
bad news - the tv in there got a glancing blow from the fountain.
good news - the tv was unplugged.
bad news - one of my wife's American Indian dolls got wet.
good news - I don't think it was too badly damaged.
and on and on.
So, maybe not my best day but not my worst day either.
This morning I'm going to Ames (about an hour away) for some shopping not available here. Several stops to make - Menards (yes I know I have one here but as long as I'm there I might as well), shoe store, Walmart (see previous parenthetical comment), bike shop, etc. Besides, the weather is nice and gas is relatively inexpensive at the moment. Down to $3.02 yesterday afternoon.
All stay safe.
