Time to Garden

I was just looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow and the rest of this week.  Tomorrow I have time to stay home all day and was planning to do some outside work.  I want to plant some vegetable seeds that require cool weather to do their best.  I also want to move some bricks and make a couple raised bed gardens with them.  I got 4 bales of old hay given to me recently and I plan to use them to try my hand at making Lasagna Gardens, having been told about them by a friend where I do volunteer work, and I read several articles on How To here on the internet. If interested, just Google "Lasagna Gardens" and you will find a lot of info on it.  I was really hoping that tomorrow would be a warm and sunny Tuesday, and unfortunately, it is forecast to be raining while the rest of the week is looking much dryer and I am going to be busy with other things.  Figures!! Maybe my body needs an extra day or 4 after the Chiropractor treatment I just had before I go doing heavy work involving bending, so I guess the rain could be a good thing.  At least I will go out and plant the seeds I have waiting on the table.

Looking For A Bird

Today I was browsing the For Sale Ads on the internet.  I saw things like dogs for sale, cats for sale, lots of different birds for sale, strangely, even bobcats for sale... (okay, so I'm being funny here, this kind of bobcat is the machine, not the animal).  I saw lots of things for sale, yet I didn't see what I was actually looking for.  You know how it can be on the internet, you Google something and it sometimes brings up lots and lots of things that you weren't actually wanting, or sometimes it brings up lots and lots of what you were wanting depending on the day.  Anyway, I am thinking again about getting a male Indian Ringneck Parrot/Parakeet. My female, DW really wants a male and I would love to get her one... or  at least I think I would, lol. Raising baby birds would be a lot of work and commitment, and they would be so sweet and wonderful.  I'm not sure I'm up to the work and commitment at this time, but hey, it doesn't hurt to browse the ads and see what is out there.

Musing About My Day

Today I put in 2 hours or so doing inventory at Ray's.  I actually really get into doing it and don't want to stop and leave.  I feel like I'm doing something important and valuable.  Oddly enough, this is somewhat like when I did crafts and wrote poetry, I couldn't stop until it was all done.  Hmmmmm... now that's something to think about.  I haven't done crafts for several years and I used to so love the creativity of it, and it's been too long since I've had the poems come to me so I could write them down. I found myself thinking I maybe need to 'inventory' my house to get it cleaned up, after all, I am enjoying organizing all the parts and supplies at the shop.  While I was there, Ray showed me a set of leaf springs, 25 1/2 inches, that he got at the auto wrecker, for FREE, and will use on my trike.  Until now it's had no suspension, it's 'hard tail' and this will make it so much nicer to ride!! Anyway, I had to leave Ray's shop as I had a Chiropractor appointment to go to again today.  I depend on these treatments to help me function in life with less pain than I otherwise would have.

Inventory

Blade Bolt... find number, write, count, catalog, put into appropriate box.
Gasket - tank... find number, write, count, catalog, put into appropriate box.
Lag screw... find number, write, count, catalog, put into appropriate box.
Gasket - Oil Seal... find number, write, count, catalog, put into appropriate box.

On and on it goes.  This is what doing inventory involves.  You pick up a part, find it's number on the package if it's in a package, find the number in the many pages long list of parts, and write down how many of them you found in this particular box. If you find more in another box you add the number to this number for a total. It is time consuming work and most people find it rather boring, though I actually don't mind it.  I am about to go over to Ray's now and continue my job of inventorying all his parts and supplies in his shop. It's a big job, this will be day 3 of my being there doing this. 

It's a fairly cloudy day, though also reasonably warm, though inside Ray's shop it can be very chilly, so I will wear warm clothes and drink lots of hot tea while I work.

Watch Out For Bikers!!!

Happy Birthday, Jeremy

Tomorrow is April Fools Day.... it is also my wonderful nephew Jeremy's birthday.  I wish I could buy him something really nice, like a car or a newer truck, but I can't.  I would even be happy to give him a new iphone case, if I was sure he had that kind of phone.  Unfortunately, as much as I love this awesome young man, I don't get to see him very often as we don't live close to each other, so I don't know what he does or doesn't have.... and of course, whatever I would give has to fit in my budget.  I guess I will just send him copious amounts of LOVE and HAPPY THOUGHTS for his birthday as I do for every other day and for all my family members.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEREMY!!!
