Greetings, gang.
Hot and windy this morning in the remote reaches of northern Iowa. 79 now going to 99 later with 80% humidity and winds 25-35 mph. A very good day to stay indoors.
I went out early yesterday (6:30) for a bike ride. The rebuilt bike allowed me to shave 4 minutes off my best time of the year over a 12.6 mile route. VERY happy with the bike. After the bike ride I went to Harbor Freight to get a cordless leaf blower for cleaning the sidewalk after mowing. Found one for $50 and headed for the checkout. Seems I needed to buy the battery and charger separately for another$50. Nope. found another one for $80 that I thought included the battery and charger. Got it home and on the way from the car to the house I saw that they were not included. I misread the sign. Back to HF. Then on to Menards where I found one for $70 that did include the battery and charger. Then the 11% rebate brought the price down further. Sold!
Only thing on the agenda fir today other than the usual laundry is a trip to the farmers market to pick up a couple ears of corn.
All stay safe.
