Day #6064 – (Thu., Aug. 13, 2026) – DNA Testing Kit

I mentioned to Bobby that the paddock needs mowing, but he was not too eager (see photo to the right). He went into great detail on how all the empty package wrappers were not his, but Katie’s… 🙂 Now that he has learned the motor bike he was wanting is not legal to drive on the road, and it appears he is not getting it, he’s not too eager to do chores anymore… 🙂

Bobby is back into drawing and doing a great job (see photo to the left). His hand is getting steadier and stronger…

This afternoon I took the completed “DNA Testing Kit” that Katie got in the mail the other day to the post office near the Real Canadian Superstore so that it could be shipped off to the US. We had to have customs declarations, and since I wanted tracking it had to go into a dedicated envelope, but for $17.50 CND it’s on it’s way. They gave us a tracking number and said that it should arrive in about 8 days.

Katie’s journals are very colorful and a great memory keepsake (see photo to the right).

My wife ordered water filters for the house’s reverse osmosis system and will try to replace them as there is no way I will be able to get into that crawlspace. If that doesn’t work we will have to hire someone. I wonder if Bobby could do it? Maybe take a phone in and one of us could walk him through it? He could also watch some YouTube videos to learn how to do this as well. If Bobby learns how to do it we won’t need to keep getting someone each time.
