It was still hot on Tuesday. I hustled in the morning,
trying to beat the oncoming rain to work. But, I had to stop at Home Depot
first. One of my 24-inch bar clamps had gone missing. So, I made a quick pit
stop and had to walk into work in the light rain.
The rain did pick up and I even heard a rumble of thunder. However,
it was all but stopped by the time I took my morning walk.
I thought I’d get some Chinese food at Ten Yen at lunch. The
traffic light were out on Wayne Road, so it took a while to get there and when
I did, they didn’t have any electricity!
Still craving ethnic food, I drove down Wayne to a Mexican restaurant
(that shall remain nameless) I'd never been to but the folks at work love. I ordered beef
enchiladas. My first clue this was not going to be a gourmet experience was
when she brought the chips and salsa. The chips were obviously out of a bag
(and not a good brand) and the salsa was exciting and chunk-free as tomato
juice!
The food was just as bland. I had to ask for bottled hot
sauce to try to make it even taste like Mexican food. It didn't work. All in all, I was very disappointed! Then I
had to “four-way stop” my way back to work.
I let my restaurant review be known (loudly) to my fellow
employees. As far as "authentic" Mexican food, this place rated a step below Taco
Bell!
I got home after work and retrieved my trashcan. I went out
and checked the rain gauge, but I had less that 1/4 in of rain in it. Damn!
Well, there was another chance of storms later in the evening.
I changed clothes and went out into the garage. I worked
steadily (except for water and bathroom breaks) until after 7:00 PM. Then I
shut that up and went out to the shed. I put eye bolts in the handles of the
grass whip, the post hole digger and the broom. I figured out where I wanted
them and put up nails to hang them.
Then I put a hook into a rafter and hung up the Earthway
garden seed planter. I used it on Palms Road, but have no need for it here. In
fact, I gave it to Sadie and Luanne, but asked for it back when I realized they
did not plant a vegetable garden. It always worked well for me and I may use it
again someday, somewhere.
I would have taken photos for you, but it was getting too
dark by then.
I went inside and it was after 8:00 PM. I took my necessary
rinse-off shower and then made dinner (beans and smoked sausage).
My daughter Melissa called to wish me a belated Father’s
Day. They had been up here in Michigan for job interviews and house hunting
that weekend.
She is still torn up about having to put her dog down. I
felt bad for her.
I watched the taped Longmire episode and then went to bed.
It was raining again with a lot more thunder and lightning this time.
Sidebar: I checked the rain gauge first thing Wednesday
morning and I got another 1/2 inch of rain overnight.
