Mackinaw City with family

Spent a rainy day with family. Adam drove up and Mary drove down to join us for what was going to be a day on Mackinaw Island, but changed to shopping and dining in Mackinaw City instead.

Back from OKC

It was a 9-day stint.

Fixed that dishwasher (again)

We put in a new 2nd stage filter, but determined the true cause of the arm not spinning correctly was the double-ended screw that holds the arm down. It had backed out a turn or so, causing the arm to be held up, pressing the inner spinner arm upwards to the bottom of the overall cover, restricting the rotation.

Wall painted; Mailbox up

A project that got a boost was David's window, digging out and painting the brick, trying to seal out the water.


Then, I got a hand (or two) to put up the mailbox.

Tinned the roof

Got the long (north) side of the building roof tin on the garage with Dad. From the drive, it looks so much better!

Day of haying

Helped put 1533 bales in the barn with by Dad and brother.

PHS Band calendar

I am toying with making a sharable calendar for the upcoming Petoskey High School Band program. The steps:

• To subscribe to this calendar go to (or create) your Google Calendar account (http://calendar.google.com)
  
• Under "Other Calendars" in the "add a friends Calendar" enter the public address of the band's calendar: 539dl115arq8n0ua5qmvqn4d08@group.calendar.google.com
  
• Once it is in your list, you can go to the "Settings" option beneath that, then "Notifications"
  
• From here you can indicate the types of update messages you need, as well as set a reminder. These updates and reminders can be directed to your email address or a SMS device (text messages to a cell phone)

Happy birthday me!

I managed to make the 9 hour drive home after working for a week in Wisconsin.

While out there, I took a couple rides around on my bike, putting on 35 miles in two days. Check out the map I made:
