We used to pay her sister Sarah's mam to do the gardening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted June 10, 2021 #19031 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Vax hunter news here. All adults in “our circle” were supposed to get second doses in mid-July at the same Public Health Unit location, but since we had our first shots before April 18 we could book new dates starting today. Being proactive we have got ourselves set up wait lists at multiple pharmacies over the last few days. Mom got a call, she goes tomorrow just minutes from her cottage. Lisa and her mom have a double shot date 5 minutes apart, 40 minutes from home. I go Sunday 10 minutes from home. A 5 week advancement sure beats waiting for Mid July. 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted June 10, 2021 #19036 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Off to pick up a U-Haul truck. After a couple of weeks of throwing away things and moving stacks of stuff from one place in the house to another, and occasionally putting some of it in a box, we have our first of several real moving days today. DD23 is moving from our house to an apartment with her BF. She'll take most of what's in her bedroom, her boxes of stuff that's been in our basement after returning home from college, and several pieces of our furniture that we won't be keeping for Florida (yeah...I get to move couches!!). It's a first floor (ground floor Graham 😉) apartment so at least no stairs. On Saturday, we get another U-Haul truck to move DD26's remaining stuff, and some of our stuff that she will keep, into a storage unit. She's in a small apartment now with her BF and they will move to a new apartment on July 1. We'll be gone before then so their move will be in 2 steps...first to the storage unit and then (without us to help) to the new apartment. The rest of the large furniture that we won't be keeping will be picked up by a consignment shop on the 16th. We've taken 20 smaller items to that store already and have one more trip to go. If you bring your stuff to them, you get 50% of whatever they sell it for. If they come pick it up, you get 40%. It's worth 10% to have them pick up the big/heavy stuff. Our friends have used this store and it has worked well for them, but they've warned us not to expect to make much money. Someone is going to get a really nice solid mahogany Lexington Furniture full dining room suite for a good price. The consignment shop only takes furniture and decor items, so I had to look elsewhere for electronics and other gear. I've had a FB account since almost the start of FB but have not done a single thing with FB in more than 10 years. I had some inside knowledge related to their cyber security and decided it wasn't worth the risk. That and I didn't enjoy the kind of stuff that was being posted, so I just stopped using it. I decided to post 7 things on Marketplace (a granite/stone firepit, B&K amp and preamp, B&W speakers, Yakima bike rack) and 6 sold within a day. I hated to get rid of my good stereo stuff but we don't have a place for it. Again, someone got a good deal. I think one buyer, from looking at his Marketplace page, will resell for a profit. I'll still be posting a Thule roof cargo carrier once I find the key to open it. 😁 Net, I'll probably get more $$ for what I sold on Marketplace than I will for everything that we send to the consignment shop. I can see why people get hooked on Marketplace. The final move will be on the 24th. The local Allied Van Lines franchise will load up whatever is left in our house. They won't be able to ship it to Amelia Island until July 1 but we're self-sufficient with what we already have in our Amelia Island house, so no rush. Closing is the 25th and we'll hand over the keys. It's only 2 weeks away. Will be a very strange feeling after living here 29 years. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted June 10, 2021 #19037 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Good morning. @FromSea2ShiningSea We love tribute bands. We have had the opportunity to see the Jimmy Buffett tribute band in Warren Ohio, and his very own back up singers The coral refers performed at the show. Today is one of those days that you have to invest in items to replace them because they have the potential of causing you grief. It is what it is, but still. So I am off to the car repair shop to get a new car battery. Now mind you do you know how much these cost now a days. Damn. Now I did not think there was anything wrong with the last one, I mean the car starts! But the DH says that the battery in the 2006 GTO is getting old. Soon to be 16 years old. I go it still works. So I have to be there before the afternoon predicted storms hit. The DH has one rule, well sorta, the DH has a few rules when dealing with our GTO's, and that is they only get wet when we are gently hand washing them. In fact we only go to car shows when the weather forecast says pleasant weather. No rain, snow, sleet or hail.(exageration). Oh, he goes psycho when a bug dies on the windshield, not for the bug, but got to get the carcass off so the car looks nice. Oh, thank God, he does not go on CC. I am sure he would not admit to reading the above. Take care. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just beat the rain home, and we got 1/2 an inch in 20 minutes or so. I am surprised that Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel wasn't on the your road. I'm not sure if you get the US based Weather Channel - but Jim is always where the weather action is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed Journey Revisited while watching the fluffy clouds roll by. Not the real Journey but these guys were still very good. I think that I saw them on a Royal ship...........I do remember that it was a Journey tribute band but I guess there are more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
