Notes and Roasts

By on January 5th, 2016 in Just Saying ...

I spent almost 2 hours practicing a song on the piano – I get to accompany a group of teenage girls in their Church presentation next Sunday. One song is sort of easy, the other is harder. Need to practice some more tomorrow to see if I can get these old fingers to bang on the correct keys.

Also helped the Financial Clerk with some beginning-of-year stuff while I was at the Church building.

Yesterday, I got some plastic shelve units from the orange-box store. Put one of the smaller ones up in the corner where there were some leftover paint cans. All were from the previous/original owner of the house, and they are mostly dried up. So I gathered up the ‘dead’ paint cans and drove over to the county waste place, where they told me they don’t take old paint unless it is ‘solid’.

That’s different from CA, which has a hazardous waste collection area at their waste place. So I put the cans back in the trunk, and stopped by the grocery store for a small bag of cat litter (their recommendation). That’s a project for later this week; I’ll solidify the old paint with the cat litter, then stick the cans in the regular garbage.

Some minor web site stuff done. And there is a roast beef in the oven; this time we seasoned it overnight with the steak seasoning (like we do for tri-tip roasts), so that is cooking slowly at 225F for a couple of hours. Will be interesting to see how that turns out.

Tonight’s activity: favorite TV shows – new episodes of NCIS and Limitless. Along with some more binge-watching of old NCIS episodes.
