Oct 1st - Working at Home

We had another new mattress and box springs delivered today. We will see if this one better suits Kathy's back. I moved the one we had been using to the downstairs (guest)bedroom and moved the head board, foot board and frame from the downstairs bedroom up to our bedroom. Kathy had found some matching end tables and wants to get a desk she saw, but hasn't bought yet, to put in the bedroom. That would complete our bedroom furniture.

About a month ago she ordered a new mattress and box spring from Sears. It was supposed to have been delivered last week but Sears screwed up the order and today Kathy could not even get an answer to her query as to when it would be delivered. She cancelled the order at Sears, bought one locally. The guy delivered it this afternoon. Guess he actually wanted our business. After all the problems we have had with the new Whirlpool refrigerators we got from Sears, and now the mattress issues, I can't imagine why we would ever again buy anything from Sears.

I used my tractor today. The bucket is kind of small but lifting capacity if adequate for anything I've wanted to lift so far. I had to chain some of the chunks of wood into the bucket. These are two of the chunks of wood I cut from a log early last week. They were small enough that they rode in the bucket OK.

I used the tractor/bucket to raise the splitter to the upright position, it was not an easy task. (The lean-to in the background, on the right, is where I parked the skid steer and where I parked my tractor.)

 This chunk of wood is similar to the one that took me 118 blows to split last week. Splitting this one was much easier <grin>. It still wasn't a piece of cake since these chunks are HEAVY. The splitter base is not flush with the ground, wrestling these chunks onto the base is a chore.

I got a good nights sleep last night but I was sure tuckered out by the end of the day. Tomorrow I think I will take it easy. I need to go to town and order prescription refills. I think Kathy is going to go along and we will have lunch in town. After we get back I need to mow the lawn and if I'm really motivated I need to run the weed eater and do some trimming.

Good night to all. May God bless you and yours.
