We took another short boat ride yesterday. Started up the lake and around the corner to pick up a few other folks, Keith, Doris and Ruthie but the boat ran so bad we scuttled that idea. Went back home, put the boat up and called them on the phone. Told them our woes and invited them over for a porch visit. Russell came on over bringing little Daisy so Mikey could have some company too.
While they were here the guy came by to fix the boat. The main culprit seemed to be a fuel filter that he replaced but he poured a bottle of cleaner??? into the gas tank. Anyway we all took a ride. The boat missed a little for awhile then cleaned up so I think the magic in the bottle did it's share of the repair. Mechanic in a bottle is what he told me it was. I failed to ask him to be more specific because of the astonishment of seeing him the same day we called had me near speechless. You just never know around here.
Today Glenda and Ruthie are heading out again. Going to a few furniture stores in Jeff City. Ruthie is the one looking for new furniture.
Me, on the other hand, am never left without a recommended couple three chores that I might tend to while the queen is out. I may do one or two if they don't interfere too much with any of my desires. I've completely quit fishing and in so doing added a few extra hours in my day. That being, I may have time to do all three chores tho, going to town for a much needed haircut may put the kiss to them for another day. Who knows? The Shadow knows but the sun isn't out.
