Good morning and happy hump day to all you wonderful people! Not expecting any rain showers here today - just lots of sun and heat.
Karen - Glad you and the family all had fun yesterday. That would be so nice if your brother gets to rent right there by you. I see lots of family gatherings in the future with you all so close to each other. Just don't volunteer to do any home improvement projects for them! LOL How's the setting up of the pool coming along? Find anyone to do it yet?
Kathie - That is the same melatonin I took before. Guess I need another trip to BJ's to see if they ever got any in or maybe Walgreen's carries it. I'll have to check.
I don't know if your resident handyman fixed your sprinkler yet, but mine fixed 2 or 3 yesterday that we didn't even know were broken. When M&J were here the other day we got to talking about how our sprinklers haven't come on in weeks. They went outside with Bert and tested them. Found out that some of the sprinkler heads were overgrown with grass which they removed and then found the broken sprinkler heads in the front. That would be thanks to our landscapers. If the sprinkler head doesn't go all the way down like it should, they just run over it with the lawnmower and never say anything. Makes us very angry with how careless they are.
Lee - Glad the rains with the t&l didn't come up your way either. I'm sure Bear was very happy about that too. Sorry the sleeping isn't getting any better. When are you sup[posed to see Dr Tom? The sooner the better, right? Yes, I got a battery for my one watch. The Rolex will have to wait a while. There's only 1 place I can take it to and that's in the Florida Mall. They will want to do a full service on it and the last time I had that done, it costs over $400. If I do eventually get it fixed, I would like to sell it and get something else that is reasonably priced. Only problem with the watch I am using now is that it is not waterproof, so I have to remember to take it off if I'm anywhere near water. Bummer!!
Dave - We never had a sprinkler system and rarely watered the lawn up in Ocala. We had some grass, but being totally sandy soil, as soon as pater hit the ground, it immediately soaked right into the sand. We tried more than once to have a real lawn by buying sod, but learned that was a waste of time and money and the grass would eventually die anyway.
I'd take a Timex anytime over the Rolex. When the state took our plaza years ago in Ocala, buying those Rolexes was our gift to ourselves. Funny part is that Bert's has never been serviced in all these years. Mine has been in the shop more times than I can remember.
Not sure what all is on tap for today. Haven't seen Bert yet this morning. He was still sleeping when I left the bedroom, so who knows when he'll show up. Probably looking for that BLT I said I'd make for lunch today! After that I haven't a clue what we'll do. We've been slowly but surely getting all the stuff we'll need for our trip north. I've already got all the clothes I'm taking ready to pack. I think dinner at the Grille is on tap for tonight. The special sounds good - red snapper. Other than that my day is open.
One last question before I head out of here - Anyone else watching America's Got Talent? They've got some really great acts so far this year. It's on on Tuesday night and is well worth watching. That's my recommendation!!
Have agreat day, everyone!
