Woke up this morning and it seemed like more light was coming through the back windows than I was expecting. Went and looked outside at the top of the solarium. The buckle holding one corner of the shade fabric had come loose and wind blew the fabric up onto the roof.
It's raining and wet. So, I probably won't get it back into place unless it dries out later. Then I tink I'll just anchor it with a screw.
Okay, it's coming on 10:30 and I've been lazy as heck so far today. Need to get up and start getting some things done.
Stopped raining. Forecast calls for more rain but before then I can probably get on the roof and get the shade fabric back in place. Maybe get the front irrigation zone working.
Most of what I want to do today is inside the house. For some reason I have more problem getting motivated to do things inside the house than outside most of the time.
I had planned to work on the bike this weekend but don;t want to do that in the rain. Need to get the tire valves replaced. One is shot and the other shows signs of dry rot. Pisses me off because I paid a lot of money for those to be replaced just two years ago. New tire valves do not wear out that fast at all. So either they installed used valves or they never did the work at all. Not sorry to say that shop is now out of business. Hmm. Can't imagine why. Sad thing is there is only one scooter repair shop left in town. Went there once and they couldn't fix this bike. They basically only work on things they sell or more expensive brands. It was because of that shop I wound up renting a trailer twice. Once to drop it off and another time to move it to another shop (the one no longer in business) who at least got it running.
Oh, well. I think I can either replace the valve myself or take it to a tire repair shop. For major mechanical I have learned enough that I don't need a repair shop.
F'ing hell! I went out to start working on things and it starts raining again! I got the shade fabric back in place, started working in the irrigation and then it starts to rain. I guess my karma today is to work inside. Too cold and wet to accomplish anything outside in any level of comfort.
8 PM. Never did get a whole lot done today. I did get the front irrigation zone running. Still not enough pressure, so I'll have to dispose of the larger micro-sprinklers and get something smaller.
Turns out someone broke into my car and stole the stereo. There wasn't anything else worth stealing. But the fools left fingerprints on a lot of items and were caught on two cameras. I had to go buy a USB drive, transfer the video to that and then write them to a disc to give to the police. I put everything they obviously touched in a bag and will deliver the disc and items to the police tomorrow evening.
Dishes. Dinner. Grocery shopping.
Tried to get the cable run for the ceiling fan in the office. Ran into a few complications. I have the circuit breakers labeled incorrectly and forgot about that. So, took a while to figure out which breaker controlled that cable which was live. Oops. Finally did that, got the switch box mounted and then.. Two cables coming from the ceiling?! Um, what? So, I have to figure out what the second cable goes to. I expect it runs to the light in the closet. The only other thing it could go to is one of the outlets.. Unless it doesn't go to anything at all, which would not surprise me in the least.
Once again, the dog isn't happy. This morning I went out and he had crapped inside the solarium. I was not happy but tossed it out to show him it did not belong there and tossed oxygen cleanser where it had been. He learned nothing from it. Later in the day, he crapped in the exact same place again. Not only that but apparently forced himself to crap even again. I got pissed this time. Had just given him his dinner. Tossed his own shit directly at him. One piece hit the dge of his food bowl. I left it there. Maybe now he'll learn something.
