Thursday 8-16 Doing Weekly Stuff

What should we do today?

Larry started the day out by mowing the front yard. It wasn't out of control but it was a little tall. The lawn crew doesn't come this week. Larry got the lawn mower out and it started right up. It didn't take him long at all, about twenty minutes. Then he blew the drive and walkway off. All finished for today.

When Larry finished we went to shopping at HEB. It didn't take too long because we only needed a few things. Next stop was the UPS Store to pickup a package and our mail.

I have mentioned many times that Larry participates in The Home Depot Seeds Program. He hadn't gotten anything from the program in months because he couldn't find anything he wanted. Last month he got the shelving unit we installed in the garage and this month he found a few items. The package at the UPS Store was one of the items, it was a Rachio 3 Smart Water System Sprinkler Controller. He already has an earlier version of the Rachio Controller so our sprinkler system was already wired for the new one. He removed the old system and the new one went in perfectly. All of the settings transferred from the old one to the new one via their smart phone app. The only problem he had was getting the rain sensor to work, it wired in differently than the old system and that information was not provided in the directions, he had to find it online.

While Larry was doing his projects I worked on my puzzle and did my weekly chores. I did laundry, vacuumed the house and cleaned the bathrooms.

In the evening Larry and Patricia met up with us and we went to the Sundancers Thursday A Dance. We were shy one couple to make two squares. We danced every other tip so we had plenty of time to rest. We danced to calls where the callers made it more complex.

When we got home I watched my weekly PBS shows. I stayed up until 1:00 and finished assembling my puzzle, Feline Bookcase. It was very challenging because there was a lot of browns but I had fun.
