Fanny who is normally afraid of her own shadow, was terrified at the transfer station. A small dump truck pulled up next to us as Jeff was unloading the trailer and Fanny hid...crouched on the floor in the back seat as it dumped it's load. We stopped at Lowe's in Riverside before heading over to Jeff's sister's house to get some wallboard for her and construction on the arterial made for an interesting trip. Between closed exits and city drivers...but we finally made it. Jeff's getting quite good...with practice and a replacement set of tail lights...backing up the trailer. Sherry's driveway is long and narrow and Jeff slid the set up back with no trouble. Monday he had insisted I drive the set up over to his friend's house in Schuyler. Now I use to tow our boat when we went camping so I do have experience but the boat trailer was longer and I think easier to tow. Jeff was doing the navigating so we went 'the back way' up and down a couple of hills before getting on Rte 5. I don't think I went over 45 mph the entire trip. The trailer does pull well and there wasn't any trouble but Jeff did drive home...at bit faster than 45 mph.
Jeff's trying to get the last load of pallets cut up before getting another but there're a couple of nice piles at the places he usually picks and he doesn't want to lose them so I don't know if he's going to collect pallets today or not. I'm going to mow some more lawn this afternoon. He started Monday doing a practice strip after getting the lawn mower out and I cut along one side of the house. I use to be able to cut the entire lawn in one day but now it takes 2 or 3. Does that mean I'm slowing down or am I just getting old?
I ripped out that yellow shrug and finished it a 3rd time...finally achieving what or close to what I intended. I also got a size 9mo hoodie finished...except for the buttons. I don't like what I bought at Walmart but I'm smart enough
Hoodie in need of buttons |
Shrug finished at last...3 times is the charm! |
