Thursday, July 28

6:26 a.m.- This morning I'm scheduled to go on a bike ride with Amber and then run some errands.  I'm not sure when we will get home, but I'm hoping to put the mower back together when we return, so I can have some more room in the garage.  Right now I have the mower deck right in the middle of my side, so I'm parking the car outside.

Yesterday was a productive one because I got the ditch weed wacked.  That's a big job, but it was made easier with the cooler temps.  In the morning I also got my beginning of the month bills mailed out.  

3:21 p.m. update - Amber and I went for a bike ride and completed some errands.  Then we came home, and I successfully put the mower back together and decided just to mow the yard.  I then attempted to tackle the problem with the bike rack on the camper.  The best I can figure out is that I left the keys in the lock and the keys bounced out and are lost, or I took them out and lost them somehow.  With that in mind, I just went ahead and ordered another set of keys and a spare knob.  It seems to be the simplest solution.  If the keys don't work, then I'll just use the knob that doesn't have a key lock.  Now, I have had a couple of adult beverages, and I think I will sit out by the pool with the women for a bit.  I'm not sure what I'll be doing tonight.  It's been a good day.
