Had a good Easter with daughter. Set up the egg hunt part last night and part this morning. We made it official. I knew she had figured out there was no Easter Bunny but we agreed it's fun to pretend.
I filled the fake eggs with one of her favorite candies. Last night, we painted the eggs by hand instead of dying them. Her idea. It was fun!
Her mother wanted me to drop her off early this afternoon for activities at the step-grandmother's house.
Once I dropped her off, I went to Harbor Freight. Still no luck finding a well pump which was returned and they don't sell the gauge through the parts department. I emailed to find out. Picked up a few tools. Admittedly not all of which were really needed but been waiting to get some of them for a long time. Like a solar powered fountain pump. It was on sale plus I had a coupon for 1/4 off. So, I basically got it for around half price. Got some large hole drill bits, spade type, for the tree stumps. The larger the hole, the more of whatever compound you can insert to kill the stumps.
Stopped at Home Depot to get more parts for the compost tumbler and look for something to plug the hole for the gauge in the well pump. Could not find a bolt which would fit. Then had an idea. Finally found a pipe nipple which will mount in the hole and a cap which will plug the nipple. They didn't have a male plug that size. That's okay, long as I can get it working without leaking all over the place.
Got chicken breasts to make fajitas for dinner.
Picked up another 5 gal bag in a box of battery acid for the garden. I ran through the entire 5 gals from last year. Or will be through it this week and need more.
Okay, no more Walking Dead this season. Guess I'm getting out and dealing with some tree stumps now that it's getting cooler.
