It was less windy and a bit warmer on Friday and I, for one,
was glad.
Work was quiet, with most people still off. I went to Time
Out for lunch and had a bowl of the creamy ham and potato soup. Then I went to
the Foodland 24-hour grocery store and bought some eggs, a bag of salt and
vinegar chips and a bottle of yellow mustard.
It was 36 degrees (today’s high) when I left for home at
5:00 p.m. I stopped at CVS and bought a new battery for the digital scale.
After I treated the cat, I changed clothes and then installed the battery.
Nope, no dice! The scale still did not work. Sigh…
I checked the weather one last time and then I called Betsy.
I explained I’d planned on delivering the desk Saturday, but we have a winter
storm warning. We are supposed to get snow starting at dawn, then freezing
rain, then heavy rain for the rest of the day.
I said that, since I’m bringing it in an open pickup truck bed,
that would be a real problem. She said she’d rather wait than get a sopping wet
desk. So, if it’s as bad as they say, I’ll try again on Sunday.
I sliced half an onion and caramelized it in butter and
canola oil. Then I fried up the last three small burgers. This time I put them
on the potato dinner rolls, with the dill pickles chips, yellow mustard and
fried onions. I served them with the chips and dinner was great. I think it was
the fancy mustard that made the first batch so “un-slider” like.
I checked my DVD recorder and deleted about half of the shows
and movies that had built up while I was gone. I watched one NCIS episode that
I’d missed and then read until bedtime.
When will we see the finished desk?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I want to see your craftsmanship!
ReplyDelete@ Jake: I'll post them now
ReplyDelete@ Carla: Bah! I did learn lots of things on this one, (like snapping that chalk line) but I'm not that proud of it.
