Drove to Enterprise at the airport this morning, only to find that we were missing the documentation needed to pick up a rental.  Hate Enterprise and their officious customer service people.

Punted to Hyannis Toyota.  Drove back to Mashpee so Ron could complete the paperwork.  Dan at HyToy took good care of us.  We are hoping for reimbursement from our car insurance company.

We did make arrangements for AAA to reimburse Ron for last night’s tow by the company summoned by the Mashpee police.  The van was blocking access to the intersection of South Sandwich Road and Route 130, so we weren’t permitted to wait for the AAA tow.  I left a message for Chief Collins to thank the officer for his assistance.

Lent Peter $400 to tide him over until payday.

We’ve been driving Peter and the grands the past couple of days.  I put off the carpet installation until next Wednesday.  Got the results of the radon test at Edgewater.  Below EPA threshold but high enough to justify a long-term test.

Ron’s van needed an adjusted computer setting (no charge).

Gent from the solar company was here this morning to silicon a hole in the attic.

Got a quote from Home Depot for the carpeting. Asked Empire to match it.

Continuing to pack up the second bedroom.

The truck made several round trips to Edgewater yesterday. I made potato soup.

Closed Emme’s account at Rockland “now that she’s an adult” so she could add the funds to her First Citizens account.

Quite a bit of melt yesterday, but it’s cold and windy today.

Ron was busy: brought his van to Cormier’s, picked up bagels at the Senior Center, picked up Emma and brought her home (wrong day for her training).

I made pizza, corn/cardamom muffins and grilled chicken. Fell on my right side this evening, on the way out the slider.

Man from Home Depot came this morning to measure the bedrooms.

Booked The Tree Guy for later this week to take care of the dead limbs at Edgewater.

Counterpoint: Immigration debate ignores American public

Hater Beatitudes

It’s quarter to five on Sunday, and it just started snowing.  Not supposed to be a big accumulation this time.

Glad we got the transfer station run done earlier today.

We did a three-fer: Walmart; the Country Store; Lowe’s.

Yesterday, after careful and occasionally spirited consideration, we brought IVAR home for the second bedroom.

Even with remarkably light traffic for a Friday afternoon, driving to Stoughton and back was a time-consuming nuisance, but I think it was worth it. IVAR has everything we wanted in a shelf unit: perfect size, flexibility, the right material (pine). It’ll be a much easier install than using raw wood.

We brought home some groceries from the Swedish store, too, including gooseberry and lingonberry jams and cinnamon rolls.
