Well the heat and humidity are back for a day or so and so is the a/c, oh well. There is plenty of sunshine with a few clouds mixed in and at one time I thought it was going to rain, but that never happened despite the fore cast for rain and much cooler temps with the highs in the low 70's.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my routines that start with a cup of tea while I post this ramble and then some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting up several by name. All seem as well as can be expected. I headed out on my bike to the Rec for a 7:30 meet up with several pickle ballers and got in a good 2 plus hour work out. I came home and piddled around in the garden hand watering and loosening up the soil around those I had transplanted a week ago. I clipped shrubs and piddled around until lunch.
I had a 2 PM appointment with the VA for my 6 month check up on my vision and while its still right at 20/20 there was some concern about macular issues which at this time is "dry". They gave a very through checkup and pronounced me good to go but come back in 6 months and to do a self check up at home with an AMSLER GRID a couple times a week to see if the macular changes. I'm very pleased with the doctors there and their concern for my vision.
I came back and headed outside to hand water the garden and the dad gum pump would not prime, so I'm thinking the check valve is stuck. I'll do some more checking today before digging up the well head. It wasn't run enough this summer while we were gone and it maybe the pump itself, anyhow I'll need well water if I'm to have any garden this summer. That kept me busy until nearly 5'ish and then it was starting to get dark. I did sow a row of sugar peas and purchased some radish and carrot seeds on the way home.
Nancy was whupped after being in the kitchen all day long making a couple Shepard pies for our family dinner on Sunday and a couple desserts for both our life group get together this evening and then again on Sunday. She wanted fish from Culver's for supper so I headed out to pick up a couple platters of cod, fries and Cole slaw. Very good but pricey for a fast food place at nearly 15 bucks a platter. Their prices have gone high as well but the place was jumping with customers both inside and in the drive thru.
I settled into some videos on why the pump would not prime until it was shower time then I read until bedtime around 10'ish, LATER
