Hi Potties - Still being blessed with nice weather but a few less than beautiful days scheduled early next week.
Katie - I had no idea about the valve stems. Not sure how old Kermit's tires are but guess I should see if the sales receipt is in the glove box.
I went over to the old house Fri. afternoon & stayed long enough to put together 2 more bags of trash from the room I've been working in. To my surprise I found an Ultrex slow cooker still in the unopened box it was shipped in. The box is trash but the slow cooker is pristine. I also found the paperwork for the Ultrex pressure cooker so now I can put it in the booth if Selena doesn't want it. It's pristine too - Bear loved the Home Shopping Network & obviously did a fair bit of late night shopping. Saw a couple of boxes that looked interesting but I wanted to come home & watch the NASCAR truck race so left them untouched for that trip.
I was up & around with a couple of hours to spare before the race on Sat. with a late afternoon start so I decided to head back to the old house. I'm glad I made the effort 'cause I found some treasures (no telling what else may be in that room after the current finds). One of the boxes I got into was a Christmas bonanza - it had 3 blown glass ornaments with no boxes, but the real treasure was 5 unopened boxes that were Radko ornaments. Also found 6 cranberry cut-to-clear water glasses that I wasn't expecting. The last box had 2 birdhouses that looked like 1/3 size cowboy boots - Bear must have forgotten he had them since they were never used, nor was the new in the bpx straw hat style bird house. I was able to use a Rubbermaid container to bring the treasures over here. Now to turn the hose on the container & use it to replace one of the many cardboard boxes I have over here. I also was able to put together another bag of trash that was light enough that on my next trip I'll be able to drag it out to the car to bring to my trash can here.
I got an answer back from the VHS tape fellow. He's interested in having them so now all we have to do is figure out when & where to meet so I can hand them over to him. The very back of Kermit is full of boxes for Goodwill so I don't have much room left for bringing the trash over here with the bag of tapes in it, but I may run back to the old house before the race tomorrow & see if I can get 1 or 2 bags loaded & on the way away. I'm hoping the weather keeps co-operating 'cause when it's nice like this, I can put in a couple of hours at a time shoveling & I'm finding unexpected things on every trip.
I think Kermit's A/C is out. Turned it on the other day on the way home from the booth & it didn't seem to do anything. Zac was out in his yard when I came back from the old house & I asked him to see if he could line up his mechanic to take a look at it. While I was there he had a chance to show me how Smoke has improved under his care. He has put on a lot of weight & looks like somebody loves him. I offered again to cover getting him neutered.
Time to feed the zoo & then off to bed with a Dean Koontz book that I don't remember reading.
Everybody take care & enjoy any nice weather that comes your way. Later.
Susan
