What's on your agenda today?

nhplowboi · 02-13-2023, 08:46 AM

Car shopping....wish me luck. My 2016 350 truck will not be a trade-in. The truck gets like 12 per gallon and I need something more traveling friendly. I will be paying cash so I hope that gets me some bargining power. Looking at either a Subaru Crosstrek or Forester. I drive so little I am thinking I might be able to get by with a used vehicle as they now can easily get 100k plus miles. I guess there is something good to be said about getting old.....expensive purchases can be considered your last.

Hey nh I hear ya bud. I bought what I thought would be my last buy and got used van and paid cash. Done, lol. Thats good thinking or so I thought. Van has given me not 10cents worth of trouble. As you know you lose a huge chunk of cash on whatever vehicle you buy if it is new. Hope you are doing ok my friend. Like said before I need to get down there to see you or you pop up here for a week. Anyway take care of you .

my agenda today got me groceries and a much needed haircut.

Good luck car shopping! I've had the same thought about getting a used Subaru Forester or an Outback, and how it will probably be my last car.

I also had a similar thought about my dog - how she will probably be my last dog.

Today I have to:
- go to the grocery store on Valentine's Day

because I forgot to purchase 2 cards instead of just 1 (thank goodness I remembered 2 gifts, I just forgot the card, it's Old Timer's disease)
- make dinner
- be home when the Orkin guy comes
- be home when Amazon Fresh delivers groceries (on the day I'm going to the grocery store; I know, it's ironic)

A doctors visit for the hand I burned on the wood stove. My fourth visit and yes, it was that bad of a burn.
Stop at the state liquor store for some of my downfall poison.
A trip to Wally for groceries.
Then to Tractor Supply for a wood bundle and to see if their winter coats are any cheaper. I have plenty of wood outside at the house but their wood is extra dry and split.

- Cook 3 meals with my Mom's "help". Breakfast is going to be a frittata with pasta, meatballs, tomato basil sauce and whatever veggies I can find.
- Watch TV with Mom.
- Keep Mom entertained.
- Make sure Mom and I both take all our meds on time.

Thinking I'm going to go down the driveway and pick up some starter firewood for the coming cold spell.
Cut up the one log blocking me from doing a drive/plow through to the back woodpile.
Haul in a few bigger chunks for the stove so they can dry out a little more after setting out in the snow/weather.
Yep, it is ALL about wood this week with the weather I see that's coming.

- Recover from trip to see Mom.
- Play with dog.

Babysit, my place while J sees the chiropractor
Babysit latter, their place while J gets a massage

She and my grandson were involved in a minor fender bender the other day. The man who caused it tore out of there like a bet out of hell. Fortunately no one was hurt and they all have insurance. I guess my grandson handled it well and didn't start crying until he realized his mom was. Even then it was only just a bit. Everyone was calm and very polite. The woman who rear ended J gave Little Man a healthy snack treat and a stuffed toy hedgehog. No one wants a car wreck but if one can't be avoided this one went pretty well so far as these things go.

After J is done with her wellness trip then a quick run to the store to pick up a few things for dinner. Then home again home again jiggity jig.
