Tuesday

Tuesday is off to a great start! First thing this morning I got yesterday's blog done. Then I finished turning a bird feeder into a decoration. I repaired another bird feeder, put one of the new receivers in the helicopter to replace the one I robbed and tore the mower deck apart to see why it is making noises. It turned out two of the blades and one pulley had bad bearings. It was fairly clean as I ran it into a ditch full of water at the flying field to clean it. It will blow water a long ways.

This afternoon I ordered the parts for that and a couple of other things that need attention. Right in the middle of ordering Vera said the twins were outside so I took a break to see them. Harper gave me a rock and she was carrying a piece of black top. I asked her if she was going to take it in the house and she did! Steve pitched it back out! I went in and colored for a little while with them and then headed back to finish my order. I now have the order to Sears made, it ended up being 12 items and $300. I have had the mower 12 years so I can't complain.

Evening now, Vera and I made a run to town for a can of paint to use on the nose of the B-36. The can I had was nearly empty! No one in town had that color so I got one that looked close. When I got back I discovered there was one more step to do before I could paint. I sheeted the wheel well and then tried the paint I bought. It did not look right until I sprayed it on a piece of scrap metal and compared it to the covering I am using. It looks like it will be OK! Now I don't have to run all over Longview trying to find the other type. It worked pretty good making entries several times during the day, I didn't forget what I had done.
