Both
Cheri and I didn’t get much accomplished today as we are tired; think old age
is catching up with us. Cheri did her pool exercise and I worked on the
computer getting the cargo trailer on Craigslist for sale with pictures. Cheri
tried to do a few things but she said that she didn’t have the energy to do
much. Early afternoon we went to get our hair cut. I told them how bad the hair
cut was the last time and so today when I got done they said there wouldn’t be
any charge for my hair cut. I do know that the lady that cut my hair the last
time will never cut it again. We made a stop at Lowe’s to get what I need to
move the dining room light fixture as it doesn’t hang in the middle of the
table, going to swag it and needed a hook for it. Then we made a stop at
Wal-Mart to pick up a few things and a for sale sign to put on the trailer.
When we got home Cheri rested and I went over to see my neighbor Mike next door
to see about us going on a motorcycle ride Saturday down to the Lakeland Harley
dealer as they are putting on a performance workshop that I thought would be
interesting. This evening we went out to watch the space station go over but it
was too cloudy and wasn’t able to see it.

Cheri
is having Mary and Marlene come at 1:00 pm for a quilting or sewing or just a
gathering to visit or all of the above. She decided she wanted to fix lasagna and
garlic bed for supper after the ladies gathering. Cheri gave me a list of
things she needed from the grocery store to fix the lasagna. On the way to the
grocery store I stopped by Mike and Mary’s to see if they still had their
rented RV site. We have been informed by the park management that we cannot
store our cargo trailer in the carport. We told them that we just got it
unloaded and need to wash it and get it advertised for sale. Long story short
is that if it doesn’t sell right away I need a place to store it until it
sells. Mike and Mary no longer have their site so I need to look for a place. By
the time I got home from the grocery store it was almost noon. Cheri was trying
to rearrange things in her sewing room so there would be room for them to sew.
After lunch I started washing the cargo trailer and was still washing it when
Norm and Marlene came at 1:00 pm and a few minutes later Mike and Mary came.
Mike didn’t stay as he had a couple of things he need to do. I told Norm that I
had to finish washing the trailer before I could visit. Mike returned before I
got done and visited with Norm while I finished my project. I got done about
the same time as the ladies were done sewing. We visited until it was time for
supper. I think Cheri’s lasagna was the best and everyone liked it. We had Key
Lime pie for dessert. After our friends left we topped off the evening with TV
and going outside to watch the space station pass over.

Not
much to write about today. Cheri did her pool exercises and her knee is
improving as I can see she is walking better. Cheri spent the day cleaning and
trying to get the house back in some kind of order. She is still sorting
through things and she also hung some pictures. I worked on the motorcycle;
finished installing the battery and then it was time for a complete detailing.
I didn’t get done until a little after 4:00 pm. This evening we watched Dancing
with the Stars and were surprised on who got voted out. The weather was a
repeat of yesterday.

It
was another cool 54 degree morning but still turned out to be a nice day in the
mid 70’s. At 9:00 am we picked up Grandma and headed for church. Pastor Dean had
an excellent message to day about Verses for Life. It was just the three of us
that went out for lunch today; the rest of our group was away or had other
plans. On the way home we stopped at Sam’s to see if they had a motorcycle battery
for my bike, no luck there. When we dropped Grandma off at home we see Bud and
Joyce have returned for the winter so we stopped for a visit, which also means
I no longer have to take care of their lawn. Next we stopped at K-Mart, Advance
Auto Parts, and Auto Zone where I was able to get the motorcycle battery. It
was after 2:00 pm before we finally got home. Cheri went back to work in the
sunroom and I put the new battery on the charger and then I was done for the
day. I watched the NASCAR Race or I should say some of it as I had trouble staying
awake, but watched enough to know what was going on. Cheri finally quit working
around 6:00 pm and fixed pizza for supper. We spent the rest of the evening
watching TV and napping before it was time for me to watch the Green Bay
Packers play.

Cheri
was very busy again today; think she has been through everything that was
packed. Now she has to decide what she is going to keep and what she is going
to get rid of. We just don’t have enough room to keep everything. I know she is
going to have a tough time giving up some of the things we have. Cheri also did
at least five loads of laundry today as well as all week getting everything
clean and fresh from the eight years of being in storage. I was tired and slow
today, worked on putting the mufflers on the motorcycle. Coz had taken them off
his motorcycle to put on some different ones so he gave me the ones he took
off. This afternoon we made a trip to Lowe’s to get some stainless steel bolts
for the motorcycle mufflers and then to Wal-Mart to pick up a few groceries and
I was going to buy a new battery for the motorcycle but they didn’t have one
for my bike. On the way home I stopped at a local motorcycle shop and they
wanted $139 for one. I told them I would have to think about it. I should have
bought one up in Wisconsin as they were $90 there. I finished putting the
mufflers on and decided to bit the bullet and get the one for $139 battery which
is still a lot cheaper then at the Harley dealer. Well when I got back to the
local shop it was closed (closed at 3:00 pm). I went back home and put my tools
away and told Cheri I was done for the day. Cheri continued to work for another
hour before I could get her to quit for the day. It was 55 degrees this morning
but still warmed up to the mid 70’s for a pleasant day.
