Sometimes it works.

I was almost sure of a shower.  Getting out, and to threy stores?  Still, only way to know is to start then see where you get.  I am still hurting for some unknown cause, tired half out of my wits, and that bit of work, half of it on my back just took a lot out of me.  Like it?  No, I loved it.  Wish I could do hours of that sort of thing a day.  The right help and more might be possible.  Even if a woman can't help, she can make other things work.  And, sometimes, if she has the aptitude and want, she can help.  As is I lose focus.

I did get going. H.D. first.  They had no idea.  Maybe the department chief who was done for the day and gone, though the best bet is a repair shop.  I'll call before bothering to drive in tomorrow... if more searching doesn't fetch what is needed tonight yet.  I looked over their compressor.  Nothing really looke right.  I looked through their work lights, "Not for the prices they cost!", as an old friend often suggested.  I think the cheapest I saw was $69, for a floor sqat, one piece.  There were supposed to be others in electrical but I didn't find them.

Walmart.  Had to get hard catfood anyway.  Wasn't sure they would have anything.  Not bad, if I will avoid anything rechargeable... made to fail, quickly, more so if found in walmart or at amazon.  Anything with an internal battery from those outlets is meant to move trash around.  I did find several which use real good bulbs and plug in.  I bought two ground level and an elevated one, if it also can be groud level.  Yeah, I like having more than enough.  Then again this whole set cost less than the one at H.D.  Perhaps, if you are a contractor, and the gov shovels money at you, go for it.  But don't cross your eyes at me when you are lynched, with your crew, for helping to destroy the world economy.  I suppose we should make them build their own hanging rigs, for free.  Hmm?  Right.  Haven't tried them yet.  Even simple things, these days, have to be checked.  I'm won't blame it all on China, walmart amazon and associates all play their part.  If you pay attention you might get by.

Then to groceries.  All needed and a super deal.  I found a thick-cut ribeye, with some bone in, a double cut, light on bone, for less than what intended dinner was going to be.  It's starting in the oven, to be finished on the grill.  Had to be salted and brought to room temp first.  So, yeah, I still got a bite at a drive-through.  My stomach was already driving me to growling far to easily.  I bought veggies, to try with various butters, and some good fall roots to be roasted with beef.  Okay, so some of the other roast types are... not so bad.  Toss in cabbage and tubers and life is good.

Not bad. Exhausted, maybe a touch owly, but it was a good day.  And there is still tomorrow.  Now?  I have food to finish.  You?
