Greetings, gang.
Cloudy and 39 outside my window in the remote reaches of northern Iowa this morning. Headed to maybe the mid 40s this afternoon with a 20% chance of some rain this evening.
Yesterday was actually moderately productive. First up was a trip to Menards for some new solar powered security lights for the back yard. The others were 10-15 years old and were no longer reliable. Discovered there was no school which meant the gym would have an increased number of "enthusiastic" teens so that idea was scrapped. When I got home from Menards I discovered the toilet upstairs was not shutting off properly. I had previously purchased a new flush valve so I started to install that. Plastic float arm was too long so I had to make a second trip to Menards for a new one. After lunch I got the new security lights installed. Only items on the agenda for today are laundry this morning and college football this evening.
Gas was down to $2.59 this morning.
All stay safe.
Tom
