Well in reality I tried to get a picture of some. My morning was to get out and do my 3+ mile walk… got that accomplished before *8:30… Then was getting ready to hit the closet doors with some final coats of poly but noticed some of the Scissortail flycathers flipping and ??? in the trees out back so I got the camera and went out to catch some… unfortunately they were too far off by the time I got there and then wouldn’t come back close enough for me to get a good picture… maybe tomorrow.
I got the first coat on the back side of the doors and then loaded up some more of the cardboard boxes here to haul off. Then made a trip to the local car rental place…
I had been checking my closed credit card (work) account and found a charge on there from “after I had retired”… and the card had been cancelled so I suspect that the company with held that amount from my final check, although I have not gotten a statement for that either… they are not very prompt nor are do they have any real contact with retirees, it is a wave and your gone… I also sent an email to someone I knew and the HR person about needed that final statement so I can track out the charge.
At the car rental they looked it up and knew the guy that rented the car and he also works for the same company but for some reason it got put on my card and not his… They are to get the correct charges figured out and credit my account but hell, the card is closed? so how do I get my money in this deal?… more tracking on my part I guess…
After that I took the excess cardboard to the city collection for recycle and then went to pick up Sherrie for lunch… when I got there I noticed that a big hatch of something??? bugs was filling the area… got a picture and still no real idea what they were?
They were pretty thick and people were having to swat their way through…
I also noticed a student ride up on a bicycle and then proceed to lock it to the bench… HELL the university provided a bike rack right there but ‘’SHE” had to tie it to the bench… I think that is just too lazy or ill mannered… but hey, I am old, what do I know…
Notice the bike rack in the background… only a few steps away and the biker had to pass by the rack… and this one was not alone as there are two tied off to the benches… I felt like going over and letting all the air out of the tires…? but then I would get in trouble… oh well…
Our lunch was with Sherries sister and niece and the nieces son… he is pretty cute and really full of it… I think he is 3 or 4? and he says what ever comes to his mind…
We ate at the Red Lobster to we have had our “more” upscale dining for this week… or month? Would rather of had some decent fresh fish from down south but not happening up here…
I got home after a few more errands and sanded down the mornings finish coat on the doors to smooth it out… and get ready for the final coat… then the Bug Spray guy showed up and he did the perimeter of the house and laid out some snake repellant and then I had to gather up the pets and get out as he dusted the craw spaces to make sure we don’t have too many spiders and such down there… forgot to have him do the attic??? maybe next time…
That about summed up the day for me…Other than when I went out to pick up some 1/2 price burgers (Meal for 2 at $6.64 included a 44oz cherry limeade) for dinner I spotted this big smoke to the west… assumed it was a oil well flaring off some returns or something cause it didn’t last long…
after dinner it was a little radio, some emails and other things and ended my day… kind of tired from the walk this morning… out of shape…
