Weekend Activities

On the way to work. Luckily, he was able to park at the area mall and didn't get caught on the interstate. Backfiring, coolant "bleed out" and some battery charging error message. And he's ready to ditch the car after only nine payments... he doesn't "like it any more."

He got his first experience with AAA. Two hours for a tow - nice driver.

Already, he's looking for a new car. Wants to tap his college fund to pay off this car to get a new one. Yeah, that's not happening.

Have had a slow drip which soaked under the fridge. Thought it was the drip pan being filled, but couldn't find ice blockage in the freezer and cleaned out the dust on the condenser coils for the fridge. Not there...

Pulled it out from under / between cabinets, and found a hose for the in-fridge water dripping where a clamp holds it to the refrigerator. Turned that water off at the valve, and no drips. Next step is how to repair / replace that hose. ChatGPT and YouTube research this week.

In the back yard. Asked the son to do the rest... he "thought" I meant the grass I already cut.

Paid what needed paid. Exciting!

Every once in a while, I check the New Jersey website, and have seen listings for my (deceased) uncle and his kids. Had told them, but they didn't do anything.

This time, there was a $517 unclaimed gift certificate in my name from 2022. No idea where it came from, but am filing to get it. And it will go toward repairing the kid's car...

There's also one in my Dad's name, so I'll have to see how to claim that for his estate.

Did do some football rules study for the upcoming season. Am behind, and candidly not very motivated. I turned back my junior varsity games (Mondays), and didn't go to our association's golf outing. May be may last season...

Sort of... leaned back against the wall in my office chair and dozed off for about ten minutes. But I was refreshed!

Did a full routing Saturday, but because of the kid's car issues, didn't do it yesterday.

Yeah, kinda. Burgers on the grill and some salad. None of us were very much in the mood for a full dinner, so I had no complaints.

Picked up our online order for the week's groceries.
