[Today’s run: 3.2 miles]
I finished the shelves in the shed yesterday, or at least what I’m planning to do for the short term.
Then I went and got about half of the boxes from the storage unit. Today I got the rest of the boxes and I sent a note to the storage guy that we want to quit.
Our neighbor down the street is in jail. He doesn’t actually live there. He owns the property and uses it as a place to do car repairs. I don’t know where he lives.
We know him as Mr Blue Truck because he has a very beautiful Caddy half-truck thing in a light shade of blue (I assume it is some flavor of an Escalade). Wife has talked to him many times and says he is personable. My other neighbors know him. One went to school in the same class.
He had done a few years in prison before we moved here. I think he may have gotten out soon after we arrived. Anyway, somehow he decided that he needed a gun. Last fall someone turned him in for it and now he is in jail awaiting trial.
We left a message with his lawyer to see if we should go for a visit. I’ve never visited a jail before.
I don’t have anything against the guy. He isn’t a bad neighbor.
I hope he can get squared away and get back out pretty soon.
I received a new laptop for my work. My old one was having some issues and it was old enough to be eligible for replacement. The new one came a couple of weeks ago and I have most of it sorted out. I’m sure there are parts I am missing. But my “documents”, “desktop” and some other account folders get saved to the cloud automatically, so the new machine already has those available to me.
The attachment ports are different and I didn’t have enough of the right kinds. So I ordered a cheap extender on Amazon which goes into one of the USB-C ports and gives me what I need.
I eventually will need to send the old laptop back. I saved the box that the new one came in. They are very similar in size and weight.
I’ve been driving the Aerostar on short trips, into town and such. I put some AC sauce into the AC system and it now blows cold air.
It still has the shifting issues. I can fudge it by starting out in 1 then 2, then around 35 mph put it in circleD. After that it shifts great until I come to the next full stop. Engine starts right up. Interior is a pit.
We mowed the lawn for the 2nd time this season. It was a bit more than a week since the last time and it had really grown. I need to get my weed eater going soon.
