Early this morning (7) driving Gary to his Urology doctor's appointment my bright red battery light came on!

per Chris...yellow light warning
red lights problem!
Gary said it was my alternator
so he had me drive all the way to the shop
without
my lights, radio and to turn off anything we could
we made it to the shop
with the plan to drive his Oldsmobile to his appointment
but the Olds had a dead battery!
we did make it to his appointment just a tad bit late

Sometimes when you replace a fan...

it's a Volkswagen 

...you have to remove the bumper.


Dinner...

Salad


Gary - half a baked potato, little piece of baked chicken and spinach

Me - brown rice, mushrooms and chick peas

Saturday

big rain storm coming tomorrow

Made Gary cream of wheat for breakfast...

i haven't made this since the kids were little
Gary added some brown sugar😬
my favorite breakfast as a kid

Made some egg muffins...

got the idea of using a measuring cup to pour the eggs from Instagram😁
worked great...didn't spill a bit

so pretty
Did some paperwork at the shop (W-2's, W-3, 941 etc...) so glad I don't do that for a living anymore...unlike my friend Barbara...she is just starting "tax season"! 😵

Devin stopped by to work on his 4-wheeler
he and his fiance got their marriage license yesterday!
