Another nice night for sleeping. Again I woke up around 4 AM ready to start the day. A warmish morning helped to warm things but a cool wind seemed to want to keep the heat at bay. A propane tank went empty and so I used that as an motivating factor to clean the fridge. I know that makes no sense but it was the thing that tipped me into doing it. I’ve been planning on getting it defrosted and cleaned up for a few days now.
After that little exercise I also managed to tidy up a cupboard that was beginning to annoy me. I’m sure we all have a cupboard like this, things just move around, no matter how well you stack things they just don’t stay put. I’m thinking of redesigning the interior over the summer where I will have access to some tools that I don’t have with me now. However that project is for another day, today was just a tidy up.
We had tentative plans for the next few days and decided to do a few of the errands that need to be accomplished even if plans change in the days ahead. We loaded up some small water jugs, two big drinking water jugs, and the garbage before climbing into the Dogsled for our errands. We ended up checking out a few other places to park in the area before heading to the rest area on I-8 West for the dumpsters and some water for the small jugs. Next we headed down to the Chevron station for drinking water before coming home. It was nice to get those few things accomplished. After everything was inside I did wander over to see if the folks have found any evidence of their dog. Unfortunately not.
Back home I puttered around for a bit, reading a little as well. We enjoyed our garden salads around noon but weren’t hungry for lunch yet. We both had a small nap before I started BBQing lunch. Bourbon Chicken Breast, cauliflower (cheese came later), and grilled potatoes. Jello of course finished off lunch. As we were cleaning up Scott and Annie were walking by when Annie came tearing over to say she’d missed us. We chatted for a bit before Scott and Annie headed off home to make their dinner.
Riley and I played a few games of Yatzee before I remembered I needed to write a blog. Sorry no pictures today, I didn’t take a single one. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit.
Until next time.. take care, be safe,

Always nice to get things out of the way. Small accomplishments make for reading time too!
ReplyDeleteI rearranged a cupboard over the sofa a week ago and added a wire rack that worked great! Things don't move up there as much now. Every tweak is an improvement. :)
Oh I agree, every tweak is important. I looked carefully at your picture of the rearranged cupboard as I thought some of your ideas might help us but this cupboard is an odd shape but after I put a shelf in there your idea will help a lot.
