The King is Dead . . .
Well, by the time the rain stopped and the weather cleared, it was really too late to fool with taking down the last awning. Maybe tomorrow. At least that’s my story and I’m sticking with it.
As I had hoped, today turned out to be a do-nothing day, just reading, napping, computing and snacking. A perfect day.
The King is Dead. Long Live The New King.
For the last 4 years I’ve used a Bubba Keg like this for my morning coffee.
At 34oz it holds the 5 cups I brew with a little room to spare. Actually, I brew 8 cups, but Jan’s mug holds the other 3 cups. I had another, smaller before that, but I wanted something a little bigger.
But although it was foam-filled, the Bubba Keg just didn’t my coffee warm for more than a couple of hours. But since I normally nurse my caffeine fix over the day, I wanted something a little better.
I had looked at the stainless steel vacuum mugs like the Yeti and the Ozark Trail models, but they weren’t large enough, only 30oz, and that was to the very rim. So a week or so ago when I saw this at WalMart I got one immediately.
It’s the new 40oz model from Ozark Trail, WalMart’s brand. But it needs a handle, so I immediately ordered one from Amazon.
Unfortunately these new mugs haven’t been out long enough for someone to come out with a lid that seals like they have with the smaller ones.
All the new ones just have the drinking hole in them. So I’ll have to find someway to seal it up when I’m taking it into work.
Our daughter Brandi and her family are presently scattered around the country. Brandi herself is out in San Diego at a ‘business conference’. That’s her on the right.
Yep, looks like business to me.
Notice how these ‘business conferences’ are always in places like Las Vegas or Miami, or San Diego? And never places like Duluth, or Des Moines?
Why is that?
And while Brandi is partying out west, Lowell and Landon were up in Pauls Valley, OK with his parents, celebrating Lowell’s birthday, for which Landon and his grandma Sonja baked him a birthday cake.
Sounds like fun.

Today was a busy morning, first with Jan’s 8:30am Pre-Op conference at the hospital for next Wednesday’s Laser Lithotripsy. And then getting her home about 10:30, I dropped her off and headed right back up to Webster for work.
Luckily Jennifer, the office manager, was back at work today. Actually she came back this past Wednesday while I was out with Jan having her checkup. Glad to find out that she didn’t have the flu, but a case of Norovirus that she seems to have caught from family members who had just returned from a cruise and brought it with them, getting sick just as they got home, and just in time to infect Jennifer.
Spent the morning catching up with all the catalog/website updates and changes that had accumulated since I was there on Monday. The afternoon was occupied by taking photos of used/refurbished equipment and emailing them out to potential customers, and then handling the numerous follow-up questions. Very time consuming.
So far my oil pressure problem has not reoccurred, so I guess a defective filter was really the cause. What does bother me however, is that I can’t figure out anyway that the filter could have caused my problem.
I mentioned that I had read online about someone else that found the same fix for their similar problem, and several other readers said that the filter couldn’t possibly be the problem and it must have been something else.
Well, like I said, the problem was gone when I pulled out of the Jiffy Lube parking lot, so I don’t know what else it could be.
We’ve been on the go so much this week that tomorrow and maybe Sunday too, are going to be stay-at-home days. Very nice.
But if the weather cooperates just enough, I go outside and take down the last remaining awning to take over to Sundowner Canvas.
