Wednesday Thursday

Two days in one.   Not a lot happened yesterday.   Though had nice Italian beef sandwiches courtesy of mother.

I managed to get to the driving range.   The local course is in Bear Canyon,  though they call Oso here.   Occasionally the Bears come into town looking for easy eats.  Sadly,  rarely.

My current problem is to make my driver swing match my iron swing,  which I will put up against just about anyone.

A guy at the range did ask me to move down as the sound of my hits was intimidating.   Success!

Thursday was a day of getting some errands taken care of.   My car went in,  diagnosed as a bad tire,  but not too bad; charged me $0.00 for the effort.

Then we took mother's car in,  which had some minor paint damage.   Owner came out and cleaned and touched up the paint,  gave us a bottle of the paint,  total cost $0.00.  It is an inexpensive place to get help.

The off to XFINITY to fight the phone/tv/internet bill.   Got that reduce by $50 per month.

Basically we saved a bunch of money on the day.

Then some solar lights for the backyard,  long on mother's list of wanted items,  then finally to the food store where staples and some Black Butte Porter were laid in hand.

Weather:  Still over 90 and that with some clouds.  There are some small chances of rain,  more towards the weekend.  

We're cooking spaghetti tonight,  which rumor suggests was my first spoken word.   I might have been Italian in another life.

I've been making some calls for mother,  who finds the phones a problem due to hearing issues.   I don't mind it.   That is surprising to me as I usually would prefer not to talk to folks on the phone.   Maybe I'm getting better at that.   But I think some of that is due to talking for someone else.

The list of things to do is shrinking.   Mother is impressed.

OH,  and laundry got done today.   I've been saving up and traveling light,  a combination that requires some washing occasionally.

On a sad note,  the Reached book I started,  I think I've read it.   But I don't remember the story,  so will allow it to spin out.

That's about it.   Maybe some golf tomorrow,  probably a bit more of the list.   Anyone want to buy a lathe or band saw?
