Sunday
;
Overcast, cool, extremely heavy rain briefly in the afternoon.
Crappy weather for the last week or so. Crappy weather for the next
week or so.
Joanne
continued working on staining balusters. I sold our surplus
inventory of concrete blocks and paver stones, a couple of dozen
pieces or so, to a new neighbour two doors down. Joanne
harvested a large batch of our rhubarb.
I
eagerly await the final results of that. HA HA HA !
Joanne had a lengthy phone
chat with her sister. While on our daily walk we had a chat with our
neighbour / friend Chris whose husband Bob died about a year ago of
heart valve replacement complications.
I
did some monthly budget work this afternoon. I posted my
weekly blog entry. After
a wonderful supper ( of calf’s liver ) we watched the season finale
“Tell All” show of “90 Day Fiance”. HA HA HA ! Yes, yes …
people are stupid ! ! !
Monday
;
Mostly
sunny, mild, still horrific mosquitoes.
Joanne
did laundry today. And continued staining balusters. I completed
making arrangements to sell the truck tailgate tomorrow in Westbank (
aka West
Kelowna ). I did a teensy bit of yard work. Both of the
projects I have underway require the purchase of more materials
before I can continue. So … I had a bit of a lazy, unproductive
day. Well,
actually … most of my days are a bit lazy and unproductive,
n’est-ce pas ? HA HA HA ! That’s the privilege of being retired
!
Tuesday
; Penticton and Westbank ( West Kelowna )
HMPH ! Found my missing
letter opener ! In the most inexplicable of locations ! ! !
Mostly
cloudy and mild.
We
left home around 11 AM heading for half a day of running errands in
Penticton, then a trip to Westbank to sell the truck tailgate. We
arrived in Westbank a bit earlier than planned, so while I waited for
the buyer to arrive at
5 PM at our meeting location at the Superstore
fuel bar, Joanne went into Superstore and began our grocery shopping.
After selling the truck tailgate I went into the store and helped
with the grocery shopping. We left Westbank around 5:30 PM, which
was a bit earlier than we had planned, and arrived home around 7 PM,
also a bit earlier than planned.
WHEW … we’re tired !
Wednesday
;
Mix
of sun and clouds, warm, humid. Muggy ! Mosquitoes getting worse !
! !
Spent the afternoon working on
the camper bathroom plumbing rebuild project. Finished !
Joanne baked hamburger buns.
From scratch ! So … I barbecued burgers for supper !
Thursday
;
Overcast,
warm, humid, a few brief bouts of rain.
Joanne
continued staining balusters. I installed balusters on one side of
the deck. DARN … split three of them driving screws in.
Friday
;
Mix
of sun and clouds, extremely strong winds late in the afternoon,
intermittent light rain.
Joanne
had an idea this morning to “elevate” the laptop on my desk to
reduce her tendency to adopt “head forward posture”. I mocked up
a tilted laptop stand using some scrap lumber and … we both liked
it, so … late in the afternoon I fabricated a tilted laptop stand
using good lumber. If after using it for awhile we still like the
concept, maybe I’ll order a fancy adjustable laptop stand from
Amazon. We
have been watching a series of posture improvement exercise videos.
We’re both interested in improving our posture, especially Joanne’s
“head forward posture” issue.
Joanne continued staining
balusters. I trimmed my beard, and also continued working on the
baluster project. Yesterday I made an appointment for a haircut. My
local hairstylist is open for business again, but … she is
prohibited from doing beard trims due to coronavirus. Fair enough ! I was going to hold out having my hair cut until our prime minister
got his hair cut, but … Justin wins. HA HA HA !
Saturday
;
Chilly,
raining until late afternoon.
Joanne continued staining
balusters, then she helped me install balusters on the west side of
the living room deck.
Late in the evening we watched
a first year ( 1975 ) episode of Saturday Night Live. Classic !
