Yesterday morning I headed to the store for some items needed for the day. On the way the mists were hanging over the fields, backed by the sun they looked pretty cool.
7-11 is keeping their $.50/gal discount going on the 7th and 11th of the month so I managed to get gas for $3.92/gal which helped a good bit to top off my truck's tank. I then went to the store and was home around 8am.
At 9am @stryeyz went to pick R up from the sleepover and I had to go take tarps up to my client in Deer Park to cover the leaf pile I will be hauling off on Monday. Wind was expected and she didn't want her pile to get blown all over the yard, undoing the raking she did. I was home by 10am and R had been home for a few minutes.
We ordered him his real presents. His new laptop will be here in a few days and the drawing pad to go with it arrives today. He loves to draw and this will allow him to learn to animate drawings.
For his birthday meal we went to the Onion on the north side.
Good food and they have delicious onion rings.
The big draw is the free mondo birthday sundae they have. We had to bring a lot of it home as we were all a bit full from the meal.
Stopped at the card shop on the way home and the boys got some packs of Pokemon cards which they opened after washing their hands once home.
The Kraken had a mid day game and shit the bed badly right away. Ny was all over them and ran up the score in the 1st period.
After the 1st period of the Kraken game I went and brought the Outback up into the carport to begin the process of diagnosing the problem in the passenger side head. I didn't do too much but have it ready so I can pull the valve cover off. Really hoping it is something simple that I can fix easily and not something deeper.
@stryeyz asked J to snuggle a bit and he plopped on top of her. Our nearly teenager makes an heavy blanket.
They nearly pulled off the comeback... But in the end lost 4-3. They got 3 goals in the 3rd period though and looked FAR better than the first two periods.
J did a bang up job of making R's birthday cake. We have a Pampered Chef letters/numbers cake pan so he was able to make the 10 for our 10 year old. Dude almost caught his hair on fire as he was swinging it around in his blowing out the candles...
He got to open 3 more packs of cards in the evening of which he got some nifty artwork Pikachus. He was hoping for "god packs" but alas they were normal packs. All in all he had a great birthday.
Warm this morning thanks to the clouds, it's 48f now. Man Utd play in a while and will likely lose as is the norm this year, they are 2nd to last in the table and sitting in relegation. I will watch to watch them lose and keep their worst season in decades aimed at being relegated.
I will work on the Outback and hopefully get the cover off, I printed out the pages from the FSM that are pertinent yesterday. I really need to deal with the garden rows that are still alive, celery, chard, kale and pull the dead beans. I have work scheduled a few days this coming week so may get more, but I have to try and finish the water feature.
