Midweek's muddlings

This morning I got up a little after 0700 and after spending an hour on my computer, I got ready to meet up with the guys for breakfast. We met at a different place this morning, it was different, but I am not sure if it was any better. The food and service was good and it did have windows that we could look out.

I had the light breakfast, a couple eggs, bacon, toast and coffee and it was plenty. Everyone had something different, one ordered a pancake and it covered the whole plate. Another had a waffle and it was about the same size. One of the other guys had a side order of a sausage patty, and it was almost as big as the pancake was, it must have been a pound of meat...too much for me.

After breakfast, we went to visit Duane Huntley, in the care facility. He was suppose to go in for a Gamma knife surgery tomorrow, but his insurance has not approved it yet, so he will have to wait until that happens. We spent about an hour talking and praying with him. He was looking good and was pretty alert.

After leaving there, I stopped at Loews, to try to find some tubing connectors to modify or heater water exhaust line. After looking around for about forty-five minutes, I could not find the right combination, so I did not get any of it. Next, I stopped at Kohl's to try to find something for Kathleen and did not have any better luck there, so I started for home.

On the way I got gas for the Wrangler, it had been four months since I got gas for it. That shows you how much I have been driving it lately. I use to fill it up once a week, now it is a lot less frequently, which is a good thing.

After leaving the gas station, I decided to stop at the Parkrose True Value store to try to find the connections. After looking around for a while and with some help from one of the employees I was able to put together something that I think will work okay.

I arrived home about 1240 and Kathleen was just about out the door heading to her hair appointment. So I read the paper and opened the mail, even though the only thing that I wound up keeping was my jury summons for January 9th.

About 1500 I decided to make myself something to eat, so I heated up the little bit of left over turkey soup, split a croissant, sliced some cheese, and made a croissant melt to go along with the soup.

When Kathleen came home, she was not sure what to do for dinner, so I suggested using some of the left over ham from Sunday's potluck and make scalloped potatoes. So she did, I now I feel like just sitting around for the rest of the night. It is not that I really did much of anything today, it has just been one of those waiting for the next storm to get here kind of day.

With that said, I think that it will be an early evening as Zander is having his preschool Christmas program tomorrow and we will need to leave the house around 0930 to get there in time. So good night!
