Awake 6:08 am Temp downtown 31 Light rain 6 hrs 31 min of daylight
Alaska Club exercise...upstairs @ 8:15...finish @ 11:00. We all have
things to do so we leave the club @ 11:30.
Kathy & I stop @ our credit union for money business...then to Wal-Mart
for some light grocery shopping....then to Fred Meyers for a turkey &
other condiments to compliment our turkey dinner tomorrow. We select a
small turkey that will be nearly half price if we spend $25.00 or more. We
both look in our cart & guess how much we have spent on the cart items(not
counting the turkey). My guess $ 32.00. Kathy's guess $27.00. At the check
out station, Kathy wins: Total is $26.00. Does this girl know her stuff or
what? We are delighted...now we get the small turkey @ half price. "Oops,
wait a minute" says the checker. "This is refrigerated turkey. You have to
select a frozen turkey to qualify." Meanwhile the line behind us is
getting longer. I volunteer to take this small bird back where we got it &
pick out a frozen one from across the aisle. A running I do go. I have
difficulty in picking out a small sized turkey in the frozen
section...they are all huge. But at the last second, I find a bag that is
a mere 10 lbs. Good enough & I speed run back to the checker. The line
behind us is longer now but the people are patient. The checker begins
ringing up our frozen item. "Oops" says Kathy, "it's not a whole turkey,
it's only a turkey breast!"
"I could be happy with a turkey breast" I mumble, but Kathy says she
can't. So this time the checker makes a phone call back to the department
of turkeys & has the agent pick out a frozen turkey for us....the smallest
he could fine...18 lbs. We take it even tho it's too BIG. En route home we
make a library stop to drop off some movies & books, then pick up movies &
books. Back to our home @ 3:15.
In retrospect, Kathy realizes that she should have kept the turkey breast.
The 18 lb bird is just too BIG for 2 people. Then she puts the bird in our
freezer to save for the Christmas holidays when our kids will be here to
help eat it all.
I disconnect the brown bathroom toilet & with Kathy's help, lift it up,
off & set it aside. Sure enough, the wax ring shows signs of a possible
leakage condition. That's all I want to do tonight. That turkey adventure
wore me out.
8:00 pm Dinner: Leftover pepper steak with fresh noodles, fresh salad &
toast.
Late evening: Watch library DVD movie: "All roads lead to Perdition." A
serious & attention getting flick. Too much killing for me tho.
Lights out: 12:02 am
