Day #5290 – (Sun., June 30, 2024) – Canada Day Flags!
I’m getting a rather late start to the day this morning, well, physically at least. I am finishing up my breakfast now.
I checked the compost pile this morning. It looks like it is breaking down, but parts of it are “grey”… I’m not sure what this means? Possibly it needs more carbon in the form of cardboard to compensate for all the nitrogen that comes from the grass clippings? Perhaps it will all break down in the end. I’ll keep an eye on it.
I started the process of fixing my wife’s bike this afternoon. Alas, the tire was so under deflated that when I inflated it, it went off the rim. I’ll deflate it now and reflate it tomorrow! I also put some 10W40 on the various gears as they are quite rusty.
I went to Home Depot this afternoon to pick up a “Robertson Screwdriver” for my wife’s curtain rod. I ended up picking up a Husky Ratcheting Screwdriver (see photo to the left), which was a pretty good deal given the price of less than 10 bucks!
I also went to Dollarama to pick up some flags for the van and the front of the house (see photo to the right). A little patriotic girl of about 11 or 12 was there and cheering me on with my patriotic purchases… 🙂 On the way back from Dollarama I had to stop the van twice as the flags on the windows kept falling off. I secured them with duct tape when I got home, so problem solved.
I stopped off at Thrifty’s to pick up a couple of gallons of milk, and some corn dogs at Katie’s request.
This evening Katie and I watched a couple of episodes of “Travels With My Father” on the television in the living room of the main house this evening. We cut the second episode short as we have to get up early tomorrow for Canada Day festivities!
