Coffee anyone ?

@canesisters Not glued in but poor quality. The flare that holds hose in while allowing nut to swivel sheared. Definitely take it back for refund.

It’s nice to have an engineer in the group!

Well, so much for having lots of time to post this week while the kids were in school. (Babysitting in Chicago.) I had brought crocheting to do too, and only got to that twice.

Friday the kindergartner had the day off school, but the preschooler still had daycare. That worked out great, because the kindergarten teacher sent home a coupon to get two cheap tickets to Disney on Ice if you bought them at the box office in person. So DGS and I got to go on a special outing just the two of us. Man, we got sticker shock when we had looked up regular price tickets on line!! $70-150 per ticket! Guess it’s been a long time since I had an interest in going to any event at a crowded arena in a big city. Not to mention that the name Disney alone brings a huge premium. But the coupon tickets were only $18 each! We had a great time!

Today is our last full day. Parents’ flight comes in early tomorrow morning, and we will leave while the kids are at school. Going to the zoo today. Lincoln Park Zoo has free admission and they have a new indoor play area. That ought to keep the kids occupied for the afternoon and burn off some of all this perpetual energy.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth the trouble to try & coil up 100' of cold-stiff hose & stuff it in my car when I don't have a receipt ....
Might just replace the end. Pick my battles, ya know?
I wonder if they might give me an end repairer if I bring in just a foot of hose & the broken end????

Had a random ad pop up on F.B.
I didn't know Grainger had a livestock dept.
They spelled 'hay feeding shed' wrong though

If you have farm bureau ins, look for a discount.

So I was at the dollar store… and I saw these flower and garden metal tins. And the bottom was spelled fleurs and jardin

Those are way cool! Wonder if my dollar store has any of 'em? Hmmmm....

Foggy again this morning. 53F with high of 72F and will be cloudy today. Rains come back on Wednesday. Boo. It’s getting daylight, sheep are stirring but I’m gonna drink my second cup of coffee.

Coffee over. Chores over. Time to go to work

Gotta keep hay $$ rolling.... sunny out.

Another gorgeous day here. Sun 42 - 64 currently 54. Finishing the first cuppa. Only had the first half before we headed out to graze. Got a pile of little things on the "DO IT" list today - hopefully I'll make a dent.

Mind completely blown! That's more than cost of my 13 acres with house.
