Yesterday morning after getting the boys to school I headed to my weekly session which was good and I had a couple good realizations that should help with what will be happening Saturday. After I headed down to my job for the day which was a bath tub spigot replacement. The house is for sale and is empty which made it super mellow.
I popped the old spigot off which THANKFULLY had a standard 1/2" copper stub to work with that ended up being the exact right length. No cutting needed.
Off to Home Depot I went in north Spokane and I picked up the replacement trying to match the color of the old as close as possible. Brushed nickel was the only option that worked as the others were chrome and black. I got the new one installed easily and it worked first try. The owner was very pleased and I was offered reno jobs if I had a crew... but that is a bit much for just me. I really like my business as it is now.
Got home in time to watch the abortion of a match Utd played against Athletico Madrid where they of course lost. Dumb shits got a red card ejection in the 2nd half which lead to the guaranteed loss. Worst start to a season for them in decades... Lol.
I had gone out to get the Amazon deliveries and then went back around the property once I hauled them in to see the vast numbers of mushrooms that are exploding all over. This one is HUGE!
Others are nearly as big. Amanitas I think... Still need to id them.
These ones looked more like possibly edible, like giant button mushrooms that are in the stores with the black gills and smooth white tops.
R got home from school then half an hour later we headed the 6 miles south to J's last cross country meet.
Varsity girls ran first then Varsity boys. It was much faster than prior meets as there were no slower runners and they all came in closer together.
J ran his PR for the mile and a half at 10:35. He was last in the varsity run but that mattered not at all as he cares only about his personal time and not his place. One of the great things with him is his view on running being a personal competition and not a placement competition. It makes the effort MUCH less pressure for him and he is always in a good mood after. We don't put ANY pressure on him for placement and are just very happy he runs for himself.
The Kraken played their 3rd away game in Philly and nearly threw the game away as regular time ended tied 2-2. They managed to win in the shoot out though and are now 5-2 and 3rd in their conference and 7th in the league. Great start to the season!
We were nearing bed time and all of a sudden a bird flew through the house and smacked into the slider near me. The damn cat brought another one inside. The little shit has a bell on in hopes of reducing this but she STILL manages to catch them. At least it seemed okay and flew off once R let it out the door.
Today I will get the boys to school in a while, then I have a job up north replacing a threshold on a garage man door, reworking a gate, installing brackets for a security system, and likely a few other tasks. R has STEM this afternoon I will pick him up from then @stryeyz and I have our couple's session this evening and dinner after.
