We had a lovely, cool\/cold and rainy Sunday (8\/30) and then a sunny pleasant Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little hard to tell, but that picnic table outside is wet. And Emmett is enjoying a rainy Sunday almost snooze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a relief!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open windows, no A\/C and even if overcast\/gloomy skies it was a welcome change to the heat and smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Monday 8\/31 started at 47F outside and 59F in Wild Thing II. I resisted turning on heat as forecast was for sunny and 75F. As I am a cool\/cold temp lover, I just enjoyed putting on some cold weather clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also I had mixed up a dough for focaccia and pizza. It was in the frig overnight and baked this morning so the oven warmed things up nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I neglected to film or photo the focaccia or the small maintenance project I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “basement” storage doors are “hatch type” doors. They have gas struts which allow them to stay fully open. I had 2 doors that would not stay open. I watched some YouTube videos on replacing the struts … took photos of the struts with part numbers and was able to order (Amazon, of course) replacements. As “advertised” on YouTube, they were 5 minute replacements. SHEESH!! One of those things that was an annoyance for months and easily fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a lunch time walk, Emmett and I sat in the shade for a bit. Our view was Wild Thing II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did feel bad that Oscar couldn’t join us. Maybe tomorrow … we’ll see how quiet it gets before Labor Day holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the bread front, I have decided to sell the bread maker. It is on Facebook marketplace. If it does not sell, I will either take it to a Thrift or to my storage locker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT, knowing that I can store something like the bread maker, I will be retrieving my stand mixer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A girl just wants to have bread!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
