Good Morning, FS Warriors! Another day in the teens. The good news is we are supposed to start moving up into the 40's and 50's in just a couple days. Yesterday, I picked up a parts washer, you know, one of those thing-a-ma-bobbers that have a basin and pump for washing automotive parts. Anyway, I am hoping that getting it will usher in the warmer weather. Then again, I ordered a thermostatically controlled bird bath heater to keep the bird bath water from freezing. Hmmmm, maybe one will negate the other. Oh well, the birds will be happy. Looks like I had better pull the blades off all the mowers and eithe sharpen or replace them. Judging from the performance toward the end of last year, and knowing that hit a lot of immovable and hard objects, I'm thinking it's a bit optimistic to think I can sharpen them.
It's "hump" day! About all that means to me is that they will be serving pizza in the cafeteria. Haha. I haven't even been bringing my lunch on Wednesdays. Why take a chance on eating pizza AND my lunch both. I could kick myself, but it's always after the fact, never before I indulge.
I've got kind of a dilemma. A fairly young couple rent one of my houses, and I'm glad that there is someone there who takes care of the place and keeps everything up. And they do a good job of that. However, he has lost his job - for a couple months now - and they are lucky just to be able to pay the utilities. I'm not going to kick them out, but I've been trying to think of what I can have him do around the schoolhouse - or even there - to help pay his debt. The problem is that everything I think of requires some skill he doesn't have - and that I be there to show hime how to do it step by step, and if I do that, it doesn't pay to have someone else do it. And I'm talking skills like electrical, cabinet making, plumbing, carpenty - stuff that you don't just show someone once and they've got it. C what I mean? It kind of either comes back to cleaning, mowing, organizing or just being a gopher (go-for this; go-for that). Maybe I've answered my own question. Anyway, if someone thinks of something - I have a tendency to overlook the obvious - I'd appreciate you sharing your idea with me.
Tonight I have worship practice at the church. I also want to start adding some songs to our Nursing Home repetoire, one or two at a time, so eventually, we will be pretty fresh to the audience, no matter how often we play there. Practice makes perfect, so I have to strike a balance, and not overwhelm the group with too many changes at once. Our piano player will be back in a month or two and that will take a big load off of me also. You don't realize how much you miss a good piano player until you don't have one.
Ok, enough rambling for one day. Thanks for reading this. I hope you all have a great week. Toodles!
