RNG, actually I agree with you and so far haven't gone inside any restaurant.
Remember this is the town where the mayor died in an unmasked restaurant last year and still
many of the locals won't wear masks.

I delivered some apples to the lady doc who used to be my primary here and waited an hour in the waiting room for her, had plenty of time, but she was in the middle of something and could not stop, so I got to observe for an hour. Most young males did not wear masks coming in but were all given one to wear, and all the old folks came in wearing masks. I guess age brings
a little wisdom.

that's a very cool lift, should save a bunch on tree surgeon bills plus let you do things much more safely.

David, I'm not sure I'm smart enough any more to play that game. It seems really complicated.
Just when I was learning how to say Gin... ;)

So RNG I go to the local Food Lion which had been very nicely remodeled and bought some chicken, bananas and an apple turnover back to hotel room. First I had to wipe the whole area down with clorox wipe and then it actually had all I needed, tiny fridge, a Keurig with two pods, and a microwave. But no chair. And no desk. And not much light either. Lamp missing where that wire is coming out of the wall. If they actually just repainted this with that horrible avocado color paint, which matches nothing else in room, which is all fake plastic wood.

However, the linens are very good and the mattress seems like a new pillow top.
I got what I paid for but I sure will ask next time if room has a desk for my laptop.

now for a nap.

Watched our HS football team win their playoff game. Was streamed on YouTube.
Youngest sons birthday, so did a video call.

Wife made vegetable beef soup for supper, that was good.

Cha ching2, ordered one of the hose reels Don recommended. Did go for slightly lower cost pole mount version, with extra capacity option. Amazon didn’t carry the pole mount version, so ordered direct from company.
If I feel up to it, might plant a post tomorrow for it. Then again, maybe I won’t.
Going to breakfast at the PA diner with our group in the morning. Then might pick up a couple bags of quickcrete.

Coffee is done brewing. 26° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 52° with sun and clouds mix. Got my shopping done. Was able to get everything that I wanted. But a lot of open spots on shelves. After putting everything away I layed down and took a nap. Rest day was conserve energy. My aunt is going to spend a couple of days with me. We have no plans. But sure we will find something to do.
Sandhill Cranes and Turkeys had a meeting.

Drew, stay in way to many Hotel/Motels during my working years. No plans to do it again.

Deserteagle, nice picture.

Don, I checked out the Cha-Ching hose reel. Still has inflated tires. Will be shot after couple years in the sun.

Riptides, want to move to Michigan with your now tool.

Randy, hope C removal goes well.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning all from Williamston NC
first cup of hotel coffee pretty good

saw hundreds of folks on bicycles yesterday, some big bicycle rally, mostly older folks it seemed.

weather turning crummy today and tomorrow due to storm system going up the coast.
reg gas was 3.15 here; I treated the truck to a fill of E-0 93 octane for 3.79
I think I averaged about 19mpg on drive down, maybe a little more

headed down to Washington this morning to visit with old next door neighbor and peek in at my old farm. Neighbor is the fireman who was badly hurt in a building collapse so really wanted to see him. Plus I got some monogrammed pencils for his 5 year old son, who is starting school.

then back to hotel, take a nap, then out again to visit another old friend and we are going out to a nice restaurant tonight. I didn't bring a raincoat, think I'm going to get wet.

RNG, no worry about this restaurant, nicest place in town and no jeans allowed...or at least severely frowned upon. Kinda nice to have one place in town that is good for a special dinner.

hope you all have a nice weekend.

nice chat over greasy breakfast with lady my age by herself.
Are you a bicyclist?
oh yes, I'm up early to get going before the rains come.
I forgot to ask her what group it was but must be big, I think it goes from Washington to Greenville. Back roads will be full of bicycles this morning.
She was in this hotel for same reason I was, no room anywhere in Washington hotels.
But it's only a half hour ride south down Rt 17 past huge fields of cotton, all white and pretty.
I keep looking for a place to pull off and take a picture. Logging trucks haul at high speeds on that road so need to be careful.

for those of you pedal powered folks, seems like some fun routes here:

Other than getting a worn out box spring to the dump, not much need for a dump run. It's really too big for the Tacoma's bed, so I'll need to figure something else out. Main thing is, I don't want it to fall off the truck on the 3-4 mile trip to the dump.
Other than that, get some fuel for the mower's winter hibernation.
That's about it for me today...

Roy, get a neighbor to help you load it, and use lots of straps, even if you have to go slow with your flashers on. Dragging it out should be easier. Good luck with that.
