We did our 1 mile walk this morning amid a lot of wind, very nice as a tailwind, but it really sucked as a headwind.

We did sit outside for a while, which was OK since the rig blocked the wind from our chairs, Luckily for us, since my anemometer showed wind gusts of almost 25 mph, when I walked out into the open.

But finally it started spritzing a little so we headed inside, just ahead of a heavier drizzle. We’re still looking at 3 or 4 more days of rain, so this is probably just a little taste of what’s to come. But before it got a good start, I had a chore to finish up.

Now that the washer seems to be working OK, I needed to re-install the vent deflector cover on the outside of the rig, so that any rain doesn’t get blown back into the dryer vent. That only took a few minutes and then it was on to a couple of more things.

Getting back inside, I started the seventh load of laundry in the re-repaired washer, and during the rest of the afternoon, it ran through its cycle with no problems, so I guess the seventh time really is the charm.

Back inside I finished up with washer cabinet by installing the keeper bar and the doors, so hopefully it will be a couple of more years before I have to take them off again.

I did a print out of my Pantry List for Jan so she could tape it up on the pantry door. Since Alexa does everything in lower case, which is hard to read, I first ran it through a program that let’s me capitalize every word. So, rather than reading like this,

fifth shelf   left side    hazelnut coffee
fifth shelf   left side    jim & nicks cheese biscuit mix
fifth shelf   left side    mini-moo half & half creamers
fifth shelf   right side   lance captain’s wafers
fifth shelf   right side   drinking straws
fifth shelf   right side   hot tea packets

it now looks like this. Much more readable.

Fifth Shelf   Left Side    Hazelnut Coffee
Fifth Shelf   Left Side    Jim & Nicks Cheese Biscuit Mix
Fifth Shelf   Left Side    Mini Moo Half & Half Creamers
Fifth Shelf   Right Side   Lance Captain’s Wafers
Fifth Shelf   Right Side   Drinking Straws
Fifth Shelf   Right Side   Hot Tea Packets

Then I also tacked up a pen so Jan can add and delete stuff as it’s used and replaced.

Then every now and then I’ll update the master list in the computer and then print out a new one.

Jan and I have decided that Karma must be able to tell time. She spends most of the day sleeping up on the dashboard, but then every day at almost exactly 4pm, she comes back to her food bowl and meows to be fed. Smarter than the average cat.

About 4:30 Jan and I headed up to La Grange to have dinner at the Sonic Drive-in. We both really like their hot dogs, Jan’s Chili-Cheese Coney with Grilled Onions and my New York Dog with Mustard, Sauerkraut, and Grilled Onions.

After that it was right down the road to the Wal-Mart for a prescription and a few supplies, before finally getting home just as it started to rain again.

Another nice day in the neighborhood.
