Digital Cameras are Great!

Last night the treadmill belt gave up the ghost, it ran to one side and folded over on its self.  The belt had delaminated and part of the drive pulley covering was gone.  I whipped out my trusty digital camera, leaned down and snapped a picture of the nameplate.  Not having to stand on my head with a flash lite writing down numbers.  I printed out the picture, went online and found the parts I needed in about ten minutes.  After I ordered them, I puttered in the shop until it was time to exercise Sam.  Boy is he picky about which ball to retrieve,  once he did not see where the ball went and was running around looking for it, he found two other balls, but dropped them and kept hunting.  I walked down to where the ball went and he found the right one.  Then I threw one of the others, he ran up, smelled it, and left it there and came back.  He would only bring back the one we started with today.  When I got home, Vera and I headed up to visit Marie and take her a Valentine card and present.  She was not there when we arrived, so I called my friend Bob, he was home, we went up and had a very nice visit with him.  When we left there, Vera went in to check and see if Marie was home, she had just gotten back from getting her hair done, so I parked and went in to visit.  Marie was happy to see us, she got a kick out of the pictures of JP and James driving.  When we left there, Vera and I ate at Applebee's, wandered around Home Depot and headed home.  The traffic was light today and we had a real relaxing drive home.  This evening, I fixed the toaster, did some sanding on the Viking, then put the fuselage in the paint booth and got to use it for the first time.
