77F and Sunny @ 09:15, heading up to around 90F for the day’s high.
Woman still in the sack.
My alarm went off at 06:00, I shut it off and went back to bed.
Woke up about an hour ago, bad cramp in my left calf so decided to get up. Cramp now gone.
Got cleaned up yesterday afternoon, shaved, and put on nice duds.
The original plan was for me to head over to the Depot and have a look at those chairs and then swing by the grocery to pick up the dogs.
Woman was going to stay home and make Her macaroni salad and a dessert with the blueberries She had picked.
Turns out we were out of elbows so She decided to come along at the last minute.
Got to the Depot and went in through Garden Center, asked where the outdoor furniture was … all the way at the other end of the building.
%*#!
So we walked down there … chairs I’m looking for are nowhere in sight.
Ask an associate and are told “everything we have” is in that area.
So we go look again … nada.
The app gives no location for the item.
Ask a manager and calls someone from the Garden Center who is supposed to come down and help up look.
Finally go over to the Pro Desk and ask a guy there to look it up on his terminal and get the location of the item.
His terminal doesn’t give a location either.
So he calls the guy who was supposed to be headed down to help us locate the item and asks. That guy is going to research and says he will call him back once he figures it out.
They supposed to have like 18 of the item.
He calls back in a couple of minutes … item is located in a display in the entryway at the main entrance … which is like halfway back across the store.
Keep in mind that walking any distance for me is pretty painful.
So long story short, we scope out the chairs and they seem pretty decent and fairly comfortable for what they are … and the price is even $5 cheaper than what was listed online. $15 bucks a pop.
Woman doesn’t particularly like this style of chair (Adirondack), they don’t fit Her but suggests we go ahead and get 2 anyways for company. So we do.
Of course they won’t fit in the backseat of the car and the trunk lid won’t close with them in the trunk.
So I used the jumper cables we keep in the car to secure them and the draw string on the jumper cable bag to tie the trunk lid down.
Was quite the sight I’m sure …
Decided to head back home and unload the chairs and then Woman would head to the grocery by Herself.
Did stop by the liquor store on the way back and pick up a 12 pack of Mikes … which will handle the adult beverage situation for probably the next month.
She got some ice cream at the shop next door.
After we unloaded and She headed off to grocery I headed out and started mowing the front.
Had that half done by the time She got back.
Hebrew Nationals, Grandma’s Mustard Potato Salad and Bush’s Baked Beans for dinner … was very tasty.
After dinner I went back out and started mowing again and She headed off with the neighbor lady to watch fireworks in Akron.
Finished the front lawn just as the sun had set.
Probably head out here in a few and get some more peppers planted while I still have some shade.
Hope everyone had a decent 4th.
