Tuesday, August 20, 2024 – Started on Floor, Went Shopping

Hiya Babe,
Woke up too early this morning, but it helped me get an early start on a busy day! After chores and breakfast, I started working on the bathroom floor, cutting out the old floor and using it for a template for the new floor. Fortunately there's a nice area in the barn with a concrete floor, so I cleaned that all up and it was perfect for the cutting I had to do. I looked at some Youtube videos to glean as much from those as I could, then got busy. One thing I learned was that the adhesive I bought is useless for what I'm doing, but I did need to get some double-sided tape instead. I managed to get the floor laid down in a rough cut, even taking off the toilet to get it right up to the flange underneath (though I had to do that twice to get it right), and when I finally reached a point where I couldn't go any further, I gathered up my propane tanks and Meg's batteries and headed into town. Picked up her batteries first (and even got a four-year battery at three-year prices, since he didn't have two of the three-years!), then went down to the Tractor Supply to get my propane tanks filled. Unfortunately, they didn't refill tanks there (why am I not surprised that in NJ they wouldn't let a mere company employee handle such dangerous substances, when they don't even allow self-serve gasoline here!), so that was a wasted stop. Then I went to Home Depot and bought what I needed to finish my flooring job, plus a big cabinet for Meg that she asked me to pick up. That took a lot longer than I expected, but I got it done. Next stop was Lowes to return the items that I had erroneously bought based on the bad advice I received when I bought them, and finally Walmart to do some much needed grocery shopping. Didn't get back home Until nearly 7:00, so no more work today. I had a salad I had bought at Walmart and a good stiff bourbon, watched a couple of Farscapes, and am looking forward to a good night sleep tonight. Need to figure out where to pick up the shelving unit I picked up for Meg, but other than that, it's my flooring job first tomorrow, then batteries in her truck, then maybe I might even get a ride in, hopefully, since the weather is absolutely perfect! Enough wishful thinking, time to get to bed. Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
