It
felt good to be awake before 7:30 this morning. I had everything
ready for breakfast before starting to look at some of the News
on my Computer when Kathy came downstairs before 8:00. Even
though she was slightly congested she was at least breathing better.
After
breakfast before sitting back at the Computer I set about
doing my inside chores. Once my Coffee was finished I went
outside in hopes of getting more of the waxing finished on the
Trailer. When I went to replace the Bonnet on the
Polisher with one of the new ones purchased yesterday I ran
into the first problem. Somehow I thought the Head on the
Buffer was smaller then it actually was so there was no way they
were going to fit. I thought that I would just carry on doing it all
by hand but then where I stored my cache of Micro-Fiber Clothes
was suddenly empty.
So
the morning would not be a total waste I moved our Car over to
Mike and Pats Site since they have been gone for nearly Two
Weeks. I then brought out our Garden Sprayer and mixed several
batches of Homemade Weed Killer using Vinegar and Dawn
Dish Soap. When I mow our grass many times some of the trimmings
end up in our parking spots. With time many actually take root
eventually making the driveway nearly as green as the Grass
itself. Since it didn’t Rain yesterday
and it was warm today all the unwanted growth would be thirsty. I
also sprayed under our neighbour’s Trailer as well as our
own where grass was also beginning to take root.
I
had just finished putting the Sprayer away when Kathy called
me in for lunch. She was cooking Egg Noodles to go with the
Peppered Pork dish she made the other day. With a little
Parmesan Cheese sprinkled on it tasted wonderful. As we
were eating I explained what happen with the Bonnets and that
we would have to return them to get the proper size. That was when
Kathy said someone in a Black Truck was stopped out front.
When I looked it was our neighbour Mike where I had parked the Car.
After
I moved the Car and he got the Truck parked we talked
for a bit. He knew it was our Car and had no problem that I
had temporarily used his spot. He and Pat had gone visiting some of
their kids in Saskatchewan then
went out to British Columbia to
visit with their other child. They had planned on being gone a month
but received a call that Pat’s father had to have Emergency
Surgery so they high tailed it back home. She was
with her mother and he came to check on their Trailer. He was
showing me the Electronics that were in his new Truck
because of the built-in Navigation System. Ten Years
makes a big difference.
I
changed my shoes before Kathy and I headed out the door. Our first
destination in Windsor was
Princess Auto where we returned
the unopened Buffing Bonnets. They came with other Bonnets
in the packages that I wouldn’t use on the Trailer.
After
the return we headed back to Canadian Tire
where they had exactly the Bonnets that I needed and they came
Two in a package meaning I only purchased half as many which
saved us money. We also purchased a large package of Micro Fiber
Clothes that were On Sale for even more savings. (Had to
recover the cost of the Gasoline somehow.)
Earlier
this morning Kathy had noticed that she was running low on Daytime
Tylenol Sinus Tablets so we swung over to the nearby Shoppers
Drug Mart where we found the larger sized bottle.
Just
walking back and forth from the Car to the Businesses these
warm temperatures were getting us down so we went through the
Drive-Thru at McDonald’s
and got a couple Blueberry/Pomegranate Smoothies that helped
us to cool down.
Our
last stop was the Canadian Post Office
Distribution Center on Walker
Road to mail a letter. The advantage of mailing it there
is Kathy was able to post it without getting out of the Car.
By
the time we got Home our parking spots were completely brown meaning
the Vinegar had done its job. Our get up and go also got up and went
so we got caught up on our Computer reading. There was a
slight problem though because we both had a hard time keeping our
eyes open.
For
supper we microwaved some Corn on the Cob along with a couple
of Chicken Legs. By leaving the Husk on the Corn it
holds in the Moisture. Then you cut the end off that connected to the
stalk and simply squeeze from the other end. The ear of Corn
slides out with hardly any silk on. When you eat it this way it
taste better and the entire Kernel comes off the cob.
The Kernels come completely out after cooking it in the Microwave. |
This
evening we watched the movie “Wild Horses” starring Robert
Duvall, James Franco and Josh Hartnett. An interesting movie about
Texas horse ranching years ago.
We gave it an Eight out of Ten.
Hopefully
by getting an early start tomorrow I can make a big difference on
waxing the Trailer
because
the Humidex
will
be over the Century
Mark
again. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

I wish I had had the same success with the homemade weed killing solution consisting of Dawn and vinegar except I also added salt to no avail.
ReplyDeleteThe Recycling Center is caddy corner to McDonald's. It was so hot that I remembered that you and Kathy always enjoy a Blueberry/Pomegranate smoothie so decided to stop and try one. However, they told me it was seasonal and they no longer have it on their menu. Mentioned it was still available in Canada and she just shrugged her shoulders.
I totally love cooking corn that way, thanks to your advice a year or so ago.
ReplyDeleteYou two had another run around day again getting lots done! Gotta love corn on the cob!
ReplyDeleteI have never had any luck with home made weed killers. Maybe desert weeds are tougher. Which reminds me I better get out there early tomorrow and spray before the rains come this weekend.
