A mundane day in Paradise

Had one of those days where it felt that nothing got done but a lot happened.

Took care of the critters: Horse, Mule, Three Llamas, Two Dogs, Two Cats.

Went out for morning coffee and then visited a bridge where the foundation is starting to get eroded away - January's dump of rain opened a new stream channel and it is aiming right at the bridge abutments. Brand new bridge too...

On my way back, I took some photos of where the main highway has been reduced to a single lane - parts of the asphalt on the edge now have a noticeable droop. Thinking of painting a marker and going to the same spot every day for a few weeks - shoot a time-lapse.

Went up to a friends house to try to fix his wife's computer - network issues and I can not see what is the problem - hardware is all fine, just no connection to the internet. Tried resetting the IP address. The husband's computer works just fine off the same wireless router. He is a machinist and gunsmith so we spent a bit of time ogling over two very interesting firearms - this month's projects.

Went to the post office, retrieved my mail, paid a couple bills, went back to the post office and dropped them in the mail along with the outgoing mail from the store.

Headed into town to pick up some wood I had ordered for a project, some supplies for painting (a replacement taper - something like this - I had loaned my old one out and it was never returned).

Got some food at Costco and some stuff for the new trailer at WalMart. Also picked up a couple things for the store and went to the bank.

Had dinner in town and got back two hours ago.

Took care of the critters: Horse, Mule, Three Llamas, Two Dogs, Two Cats.

Like I said, I don't feel that anything really got done today but I sure was busy...
