Been a lot of places, did a lot of Googling and phone work today. Mostly all in search of data. For instance the going rate to get half soles and heels on a pair of boots IS NOT 35-$50. It’s 60-$80 PLUS tax of course. I doubt they’ll even brush them off but I’ll give them some extra attention when I get them back. They are my favorite pair of boots due to comfort and they are Dan Post so they are fairly good boots. The down side is I can’t recall how long I’ve had them but it’s a LONG TIME. They don’t owe me a dime but I’m not ready to pitch them that’s for sure. A half hour work when I get them back and people will ask if they're new. All the was just one of several fact finding projects. Trips to two banks but the second installment of the real estate taxes got paid along the way. A couple other endeavors didn’t conclude as successfully so there’s more tomorrow.
By mid afternoon I was headed home but wanted a break in thinking & maybe a laugh or two. About 70% of the time the Legion is good bet for both. A ration of (fun) crap from the barmaid got that started. My friend Eugene was there and talked about all manner of stuff. I learned he has a 1968 Triumph motorcycle with 159 miles on it stashed in his garage. It wasn’t a happy story but . . . Anyway the Legion visit was a good thing anyway. It ended up refreshing and mostly fun.
A snack and a book plus semi reclining brought the day to dusk. A fire is laid in and I expect to make it a fairly short evening. Lots of things awaiting my attention and some are getting critical – one big (I mean REALLY BIG) thing is laundry. I could make it till the weekend but then it would be even BIGGER! Ha Ha
