This And That

I am having another time of writer's block and find myself short on ideas and words, so this may be a jumbled mess of nothing to do with anything.

Last Sunday
Last Sunday I got to do something I don't get to do often. Because a severe storm blew through the area last week, the church I serve as music director didn't have power and we didn't have services and my wife and I went to an early service at another church and got home early and were able to relax.

Grandchildren
I was told before my grandson was born that grandchildren were wonderful. Guess what? They are. Because my son-in-law is overseas this past year, I have had a lot of time with my grandson. As I sit with him and listen to him talk about things and watch him grow and play and figure stuff out, I think back to my own children and try to remember, only to remember that I was too busy making a living to listen and watch. He spent the night with us last night. One thing I have learned about him, if he is quiet you better go find out why. He usually is into something that makes a mess.

The Horn Won't Blow
Well, I have been driving the wife's car back and forth to work to try to cut down on gas expense. The other day I needed to blow the horn at a lamebrain that was about to pull out in front of me and nothing happened. I spent an hour or two last night trying and hoping that it was a fuse or relay. Nope. It needs a new horn I think. In most cases that is an easy fix but not on the Explorer. You got to take the battery out and the battery case to get to the horn. Nothing is ever easy.

At The Restaurant
Thursday night we went to a new restaurant here to try them out. The food was good. The grandson upchucked his supper in front of everybody, and to top the evening off when we went back to the truck I stepped on the stepbar and the back section fell off. I didn't have tool one to take off the front so I tied a load strap to it, pulled it up tight handed it to my wife closed the door and drove home. It made for a good laugh.

Back To The Chores
Well I guess I will quit this babble and get outside and see if I cant get through with all I need to do today. Hope you all have a great weekend and be careful.
