7:10 a.m. - Umpires never appreciate arriving to a field for a game with no teams. Yesterday's game was rained out, but no one called me. I made a trip to Wilton, then, but my only effort was to get the HHR filled with fuel. I guess that's not all bad because E85 in Muscatine is $3 a gallon. It's $3.18 in Aledo at Blick and Blick, and I think I might go ahead and get an account there. Speaking of Aledo, after my rained out game in the morning, I completed some tasks in Aledo. I got propane tanks filled - one for the camper and one for the grill. Also, I picked up the drinks for Carmen's reception. So once again, rather than working at umpiring and making money, I spent money...ugh.
After the run to Aledo, I came back home to see the Harrison kids, and then later my afternoon umpiring gig was also cancelled. So there goes more income for the day, but I ended up getting to spend more time with the grandchildren. Today if I get rained out this morning, I'm going to complete a couple of items on my to-do list.
Things to do
- get GMC scheduled for radiator flush and oil change and inspection
- get eye drops prescription (and schedule annual eye exam?)
- get more chlorine
- confirm Aug. 22 at Morrison VB with Braeden and get him to respond about Rockridge
- trim bushes
