Another Monday. Got to make some plans for today, I guess. A visit to a new doctor today to arrange for the monthly blood tests to make sure my INR level is OK with my current dosing of Coumadin (a blood thinner).<\/p>\n
Significant event this weekend. I was able to empty and rearrange enough boxes that both cars are now in the garage. It’s a huge garage, though, so there are still many boxes to unpack. I did get the four 24-inch cabinets put together, so now there is a good place for the garage stuff.<\/p>\n
Got the lawn mowed Friday, so it looks good. The weeds in the back yard may need a bit of trimming this week, although I did spray some Roundup on some of them. We need to put together a rough plan for getting a lawn and some trees in the back yard.<\/p>\n
The town here has an anti-weed ordinance, so all property owners need to keep their weeds cut down. There are a lot of empty lots in this subdivision, and the town code enforcement guy was driving around the neighborhood this week. The lots here are owned by several builders; there’s about 10 empty lots around my house owned by the same builder. The builder had a guy with a tractor mower out here Friday cutting down the weeds in those empty lots. He was a lot faster than me with a string trimmer. So all the weeds around my house were cut down, which made the local bird population happy, as they can now get to the insects much easier.<\/p>\n
Our 4th was fun; we had the whole family over on the 3rd for dinner, and set off a few fireworks. Then over to the Jensen’s for the 4th, with a traditional meal of BBQ steak, beans, potato salad, garlic bread, and watermelon. Quite good.<\/p>\n
It gets dark later here than at our CA house, around 930-10pm it was dark enough to set off our collection of fireworks. The two youngest grandchildren (Dane is 3, Lucas is 18 months) were a bit reticent about all the noise, so I took them into the house and watched from an open window in the front room. That worked out good, since the mosquitoes were a bit aggressive. We got done a bit before 11pm.<\/p>\n
We had the gang over for dinner yesterday, and watched the Wimbleton via DVR delay. Quite a good game, even though I am not a big sports fan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
