Wednesday, January 31, 2024 – Putter Day

Hey Darlin',
Another day that got off to a slow start, though eventually I got around to puttering a bit. Decided to clean the junk drawer, it had so much stuff in it I couldn't find anything, though that didn't take me too long. Ranger Rick stopped by to tell me they would be out to clear the new host site of trees in the morning. Talked about a bad accident that happened as a result of fog coming in, creating an iversion layer that held down the smoke on the big burn they had on Monday (3300 acres!), and visibility was so low a car ran through a stop sign and a barricade and plowed into a highway worker who died later in the evening. Seems it took over 90 minutes for him to get airlifted, so I heard. After that I ran over to Jo's to pick up a package of stuff I had ordered yesterday, a pair of pants (I've never bought clothing over the internet, except a bathing suite, and was astonished when they fit perfectly!) and a Dremel-like tool. I've always wanted one, and with several projects coming up, I decided it was time. I peeled the sealant out from around the bathroom sink, it needs replacing, and I figured this little grinder would help. I alway am turning a large suet holder into a mineral block holder that I can hang on the highline. The holes were too small for the horses to lick through, so I'm cutting out some of the framing, and I need to grind down the pointy bits so it doesn't hurt the horses. I'm also considering using it on the horses hooves. I watched Jo work on hers, and it sure looked a lot easier than using a rasp! Something to try anyway. There have been many times I thought it would have been helpful to have one, and now I do! I bought a rechargeable cordless one, too, since that seemed to be more practical for me. Finally settled down for the evening to a good movie with Cuba Gooding, Jr., playing Dr. Ben Carson, who, of course, you worked with back in the day. A bowl of soup for dinner, and ready for an early bedtime! Good night, babe! Love you!
