Lawnmower ~ Chaka ~ BBQ ~ Thumb Drive ~ Napalm Girl ~ Fast Change In Your Day ~ Egg Day

Good 51º semi-cloudy morning.

Yesterday Dave called, he had read my blog about the sprayer so told me to come over and he'd take a look at it. He fixed it!!!! YEAH! It was the switch on the lawnmower. So, Dave put in a new one he had laying around!! LOL. Dave has everything! But........... with the 80% rain chance, I'm not going to spray weeds/grass today. Dang.

and... PJ loaned me a book to read... Cleo by Helen Brown...

Sounds like a sweet and heartwarming story.

I have been invited to a barbecue dinner today at Bill and Jeannie's. YEAH.... someone is cooking for ME! Yes, Chaka, I'm bringing you Milk Bones! Silly dog.

Also, going to show them how to save pictures from their computer to a thumb drive.

I have been consolidating my documents and pictures onto external hard drives.... it holds hundreds of gigabytes. The thumb drive I copied had over 700 pictures on it, so I think it will work for them for now.
