Cliff Notes Just Because
I am going to speed through my four day weekend recap which has yet to finish it’s fourth day, because I feel like it.
On Friday I got all of the grass maintenance out of the way, weed whacking and mowing the property. The humidity made it as enjoyable as waterboarding. Friday evening I did my first live stream in a long time. It went long as it normally does. I had my bud Marty on for a good portion of the stream where we covered a number of subjects. I also gave away a bunch of stuff, probably more than I should have. It totaled up to 14 items that wound up costing me $75-100 to ship it all. It still was a good time.
On Friday I also pulled the trigger on buying four pallets of bahia sod. There are a number of bare dirt patches in the yard, the side effect of trying to fill them in the past with floritam sod that doesn’t survive dry season without ridiculous amounts of watering. Bahia just goes dormant during dry season and will be a much better and more reasonable fit for the yard. The sod may be delivered today, laying down four pallets of sod myself is not something I am looking forward to.
On Saturday I noticed that Popcorn was again acting sluggish. Her backside was a mess. I once again soaked her and then cleaned her off. She was still not normal on Sunday so she got the finger again. Again I didn’t feel any egg in there. My hope was doing the finger last time seemed to give her some relief so it was worth trying again. I am practically a chicken proctologist at this point.
On Saturday night Deb visited again. We finally introduced her to the world of VR and she loved it. Cindy and her played a bunch of rounds of Beat Saber and then I showed her one of the Star Wars Immortal games. Being a huge Star Wars fan, she found the experience pretty amazing. I expect that she will be buying a headset of her own sometime soon.
I added yet another Ring device to the coop on Saturday, covering the west side of the coop area, which was unmonitored since I pulled the DVR system. That brings the total amount of Ring cameras in the household up to 10. I also went around and placed flags by the sprinkler heads in the spots I am going to add sod to make sure I don’t inadvertently bury any.
Mid Sunday morning Jeremiah stopped by. A couple months ago he stopped by the house to say hi to Cindy, he lives a few blocks away and started riding an EUC. He had seen my videos and thought it was ironic that I was right around the corner. I made arrangements to have him stop over to test ride my wheels. He has only ridden his KingSong 14D, a fun but very small wheel with limited speed and range.
I let him ride almost everything I have, including the One Wheels. We even rode to the new DD to give him some more ride time. He liked all of the wheels and adapted very quickly to riding them, despite them being much different than what he has. I could tell he has more natural riding ability than I have. He has an interesting background and currently sells solar systems. I anticipate we will get out to ride together more often.
Last night Cindy and I watched The Silencing, what I assume was a straight to Blu-Ray release. It was a cool thriller with the King Slayer from Game of Thrones as the main character. I’d give it a B+ We fell asleep watching some show about a realtor that sells properties to nudists in the Tampa Bay area. Evidently there are a number of nudist communities up there. The visuals are pretty insane as you see naked people washing cars, mowing the grass, playing tennis, doing yoga and even jogging. I just don’t understand how it is enjoyable to have that stuff swinging and bouncing around without protection.
We will see how the rest of today pan’s out, I have to drop Sadie back off at Ali’s place and then what happens from there depends on if the sod delivery happens today or not. After doing the budget work this week it is clear that I need to find a few months of more normalized spending to get my numbers where I want them. The trip to KSC, AC repair and now sod purchase has hit the CC bill hard.
