One of my ham friends (who is blind) asked me yesterday if I could provide transportation for him home from his workplace noonish today, if he bought lunch. Free lunch sounded good to me! I picked up Bill and his service dog Chance around 11:45. We had lunch at a Chinese buffet, then we took the opportunity to make a run to his bank. It wasn't much of a side trip, but it did sap me of my energy at home.
Then the other shoe hit. Meg called to ask me if I could come up to Muncie in order to provide the second car so she could get the brakes fixed on my old Taurus, which she drives. The brake situation has been bad almost since she got the car. I haven't had the funds to fix them...but she finally does. I will go up tomorrow and return on Friday.
Meanwhile, my little Ryan is sick. He has caught a cold and is running a fever high enough that Apple Tree called and told Meg to come get him. (I think 101 degrees is their limit.) They all have the "cold" in that household now, but Ryan seems to be the only one who is feeling bad...
Grandma Judy and I talked about taking one child for a weekend...she with one and me with the other...just to see how it goes. My guess is that Robin will want to come with me, and Ryan will want to be with Bampa. (Grandpa Phil is his hero!) We'll see how that goes... Tune in later for that news.
I'm out of here for a couple of days, then. On Saturday, one of my revered ham friends is coming over to help me get "stuff" done. I hope so! I need help here!
