Started the day with a trip to the hilltop and taking a few pictures of early wild flowers.
Came back down and spent a few minutes paying all the bills I could online.
Fixed breakfast and got a shower and draped the frame for contact with humans.
First stop was Jacksonville at Cat’s bank and then we went to Marvin’s Building Materials in Anniston.
Got 30 8 ft landscape timbers, 10 pounds of 6″ spiral timber nails, 2 – 40 grit 3 x 21 sanding belts and 2 – 80 grit 3 x 21 sanding belts.
Looked at the receipt when we got back to the truck and discovered that we were charged 2.64 each rather than 2.49 each for the timbers. So back in and through the line to be told that I had to go to another line. Which I did and received nearly $5 back that they had over charged.
Head back here to the farm to swap to the van for the rest of the running around.
Next stop Jacksonville (again) to pay the power bill.
Then to Sav-a-lots grocery store for general provisions and AAA batteries as they have them 12 16 for a buck.
Next stop is a friends house to pick up an anvil and hammer that he is loaning me for my copper work. (and the word copper once again looks right)
While there we talk about a project I am consulting on among other things and thus manage to spend an hour and a half getting nowhere…
From there we head to Wright’s Dairy for milk.
Next stop Alexandria Food Outlet for ground chuck and ice cream.
Then home…
Unload the groceries and eat a bowl of warmed over mac and cheese and hotdogs.
Then take the truck to the creek to unload the landscape timbers. I unload a few and Bill takes over. Was at the end of my energy.
And in to email and check/read feeds and just sit for a while.
