Gusset increases finished. Heels turned. Wraps knitted. Starting the heel flaps. I’m taking a break after getting to this point due to a bit of eye strain. It’s been overcast all morning and got progressively darker before we had a nice rain shower. Now it’s clearing off a bit and is a very muggy 75° outside.
Even with the lamp on next to my chair I was squinting to get the heels turned and the wraps knitted. It’s nearly time for us to do something about lunch. Soup and a sandwich sounds good to me and Brad agreed. We’re going with Campbell’s Veg Beef soup and sliced turkey and cheddar cheese on toasted wheat bread, topped with spicy brown mustard and my homemade pickled red onions. Yum!
It’s been two weeks since the Generac came online and became ‘self aware’, it’s scheduled to come on and run for five minutes every other week on Wednesdays. Yesterday was the second time we heard it run for it’s regular testing. It’s not even as loud as a lawn mower. Of course, when it kicks in full gear during a power outage it will be a bit louder, but not much.
We made a trip to Earl Owen Auto Parts and Supplies yesterday to finally get rain guards installed on all four windows of my Ford Escape. I’ve been meaning to do that for months now and it’s done. Now I can leave the windows cracked during the summer heat or when it’s raining and it’s not noticeable.
The soup is heating, bread is in the toaster and everything is set out to make sandwiches as soon as the soup is hot. I’m going to work on my socks until it’s time to eat.
Have a blessed Thursday afternoon and evening, ya’ll. Life is good at Blankenship Acres.
