After getting lattes this Sunday morning, I finally convinced the hubster to go to a yard-sale that was down Clagstone Road. He was teasing me the whole way, but the sign had indicated there were TOOLS available. Hubby looked around and actually got a deal on a $420 250 pound Proto Torque Wrench for only $80-and the guy even threw in a special something-something for free 4 our son-in-law. The kids will need a lot of "home" tools for their new house!
The day started out quite mild with overcast skies. Almost the perfect weather, but later it got to be hot, humid & muggy. Bugs flitting in your face-driving you nuts!
When our child was still living at home with us, Sunday mornings were always devoted to family breakfast. Now that she is living out on her own, we fix Sunday dog grog for the kids (until such time as the grandkids arrive, and they will have to share a bowl of grog with the dogs!).
After mixing all the leftovers in the fridge together with eggs; Harriet, Angus, Isabelle, Bravo, and 'Lil Bit all went about busily eating. Bravo expanded the barrel tummy, 'Lil Bit was ready to burst at his button button! When hubby went to use the food disposal to get rid of the disgusting leftover bbq ribs that he had made a few weeks ago, the p-trap under the sink BURST! There was water & mush-like bbq ribs coming out of the cabinet. Disgusting.
Taking almost 2 hours to clean it all up - herded the dogs outside so that they would not be tempted to taste the vileness. Everything under the sink was doused with the sloppy, mucky mess. I had to rinse off, then drain vases, sponges, & dishwashing bottles in the bathroom tub. Hubby got the shop-vac up fron his shop and proceeded to suck up the muck. Gross. The house smelled like burnt poop!
Needless to say, I'm washing LOTS of towels today.
After that was over, we worked on the kids' Cougar to charge up the battery & air up a tire. Kelsey called to leave a message that they were going with friends to raft on the river; so they would call later to pick up their car.
Before we left for town, Leo brought over the lawn blade so that his kids could finish mowing the large area of the property. Greg talked to him for a while.
Then we went into town to check out new flooring for the loft-hubby suggested getting hard wood flooring & fix sub-floor instead of putting carpet up there as the carpeted area gets SO dirty. I would save the $250-350 to have it cleaned every year. Plus, the same stains would then not come back a week after being cleaned. Much better to have hard wood. We could even put in a nice rug under the bed to step out onto in the mornings!
Went to Costco; picked up Foster Farms chicken, Tamales, Chicken&Cheese Flautas, Guacamole, & more Clorox wipes to pick up 'Lil Bit poop. Looked at prices on hard wood flooring there.
Then went over to Lowe's to pick up a new p-trap for under the sink; and looked at flooring there, too!
Picked up Wendy's cheeseburgers for Isabelle (plus one each for all the other dogs at home) then over to CDA City Park to eat. Izzy was quite happy to stick her head out the window and be the "only" dog in the car again. No other dumb dogs to share "her" truck!
On the way home, we decided to drive up Lochhaven Dr to view upper Hayden Lake. We unexpectedly drove right next to a deer that was wandering the neighborhood. She stopped to look at us, then crossed the road directly in front of our vehicle. A car in the on-coming lane almost hit her, as the stupid woman was obviously day-dreaming and not paying attention to where she was driving! We beeped our horn to alert her when she was almost upon the deer. Duh!
When we got home, hubby fixed the plumbing while I put away groceries & picked up dog poo. Then hubster fixed the upper mini blinds that the window cleaners had not left in proper working order.
After he was done working, he decided to pour himself a water through the dispenser in the fridge door-it wouldn't turn off! We soon had a pool of water in front of the refrigerator. What crap luck!
The day isn't over yet. What else can go wrong?
