Got coffee and went to the store to check in on things. Slammed! Canada Day as well as the run-up to the Fourth.
One of my employees was looking at getting a new lawnmower for the store (our old one is just worn out) but hadn't been able to get into town. Also, our bread racks look like they had been picked over by locusts. We get bread in Monday and Friday and we had upped our bread order to compensate for the expected extra business but Friday's (yesterday's) bread order was almost all sold out - one pack of hot dog buns left, pan breads were almost all sold out - ditto bagels.
Went into town and picked up a couple hundred bucks worth of bread from one of our vendors as well as a nice new Honda lawnmower - spent a bit more than I was planning but got one with a five year warranty. There is a company north of here in Blaine, WA that makes a gasoline additive (Opti-mizer Max) and if you purchase some of that when you purchase your implement (listed on the invoice), they will double the engine warranty so this mower is now covered for ten years. Have heard very good things about this company and their products - that they have been in business for 35 years.speaks a lot.
Went up to Graham's for dinner and a couple of pints and home for the evening. Watering the plants and the pups got the last of some leftovers with their dinner and are now rumbling around outside. Finally cooling off a bit. Got up to 83.5°F this afternoon but is down to 58.8°F. Making up some more hummingbird nectar so it can cool overnight.
Surf for a bit, some YouTube and then to bed.
