Spent a lot of the day playing phone tag with different offices where I'm supposed to do chart reviews. Several of them hadn't gotten the faxes needed for the reviews. Had to email the company and get them to send the faxes. One was supposed to be tomorrow morning and canceled. Have to reschedule.
Went to the bank to pay on the mortgage. The bike had gotten a little hot, so while ignition was off, I turned on the power so the fan would run. When I went to start the bike, battery was too low. Walked the bike across the street to OReilly's for a jump or charge. They couldn't do a jump. Had them charge the battery, which took them two attempts because one of the employees turned off the charger. Then they told me the battery was no good and wouldn't take any charge at all. I asked if they could loan me cables and a battery for a minute to get the bike started and get it home. They had just loaned out their loaner cables to a woman and did not get an ID. She drove off with the cables. Then they acted lost, like they couldn't figure out what to do, with piles of cables on the shelves. I took the battery back and installed it in the bike. Turned the key and it started instantly. Obviously, the idiots couldn't figure out how to tell if a battery was good, also.
Finally installed a new light fixture for the back yard. Not much light yet, since all I have are CFC bulbs. Need to buy flood lamps for it. Still better than nothing.
Many of the last tomato plants I transplanted out are dead. Many of the seedlings are dying off. Too hot for them. Planted a few in the garden this evening, both tomato and peppers.
While I was at it, planted more bush green beans, watermelon and pumpkin seeds. A few of those things planted previously are coming up but no a lot. Figure it wouldn't hurt to have too many and thin them out.
