First of The Month List. Dinnertime Theme Today.

It was too hot to think about working outside, and I just wanted to rest up my aching bod, and not go in and out of the Mirage today. So Ray and I started on the "First Of The Month List".

We cleaned the filters in the AC's and air cleaners, vacuumed the

ceiling fan blades, washed several things, and just generally got odd inside jobs done. We didn't even check the vehicle's tires today, just didn't want to go outside.

After lunch, I ventured into town to get the right acorn nuts for the Mirage, and several things from the

grocery store. I bought some turnip greens for the tortoise that

Jay found, too.

Every time that I could, I parked in a shady spot, even if it was a good walk to the store, that is how I get more exercise! Just walking around some stores puts more mileage on you!

I keep on trying to get the Live Writer going, but I haven't got it working yet. The pictures are supposed to be so much easier to

manage.

I haven't even started making my dinner, that is what made me

think of a dinner theme, today

Washer Recall. Not Much Going On Today.

It was very humid today, and I was still feeling sore and stiff from taking the anti-biotics. I knew that if I had to function today, I had to get rid of some of the pain, so I took some Aleve. I have been on the anti-biotics for a month now, and I am getting more achy, tired, and sore each day.

Ray and I tried to get the acorn nuts on the bolts that we used for the Mirage drapery hardware, and discovered that they had given us the wrong thread, 32 instead of 24. No wonder that they wouldn't screw on the bolts, so I will have to go back to the store. We tied some string across the inside, and hung one unfinished drape over it to see a mock up of how the drapes will look. I will have to alter my drape pattern a little bit. All those curves in there make it difficult.

We raked the burn pile into a neat pile, and got some of the metal to one side, but it was too hot to touch it, as it was still glowing down at the bottom of the pile. I hate having to have a burn pile again, I thought that curb trash service would be nice, but now we have nowhere to get rid of the pine needles except to burn them, as they won't take them.

We did a couple of jobs with the little carpet cleaner. Got some spots off mine in the house, and did the cab of the Mirage.

After lunch I knew that I had to look into the side effects that I was having from the medcine, and I came across this site: http://www.askapatient.com/rateyourmedicine.htm and found out that others had had the safe side effect. I have had enough of feeling bad, not sleeping well, and I am not going to take them anymore.

Just like checking the recalls on RV fridges, here is one you need to check for your washer: http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2009/07/31/35-000-washing-machines-recalled-for-fire-hazard?icid=mainhtmlws-maindl3link6http%3A%2F%2Fwww.walletpop.com%2Fblog%2F2009%2F07%2F31%2F35-000-washing-machines-recalled-for-fire-hazard

They are Ruining our Mtns. Migraine Reliever. Stove Done

It was still humid after all the rain. Ray and I had intended to finish up with the Mirage drapes, but my neighbor across the street was burning some pine needles. I called our local Fire Marshall's Office, as they have a recording about the Burn Ban, and it said that it was temporarily suspended for two days.
We sprung into action, and strung the water hose out there. We had so much old floor, and carpet that we had taken out of the Coronado, and other parts of it, plus bags and bags of pine needles, that we spent all morning burning it all. The rocker-recliner that was in there, we took all the foam out and put it in a trash bag, and burned the chair. There are so many nails and things that we will have to go through the ashes with a magnet to get all the metal out. We couldn't go around to the other side of the house to work on the Mirage, as we couldn't keep an eye on the fire from there. So we finished up the little stove.

Look what is happening to some mountain tops:

"Mountaintop-removal/valley-fill mining results in the complete removal of the top of a mountain in order to reach hidden coal seams. Millions of tons of dirt and rock that formerly composed the mountaintop are dumped into surrounding valleys, burying streams and their aquatic life forever, and impacting headwaters that supply drinking water for millions of people. More than 1,200 miles of streams and river valleys in West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee have been turned into barren moonscapes by mountaintop mining activities so far, and more is planned. THIS MUST STOP!"

I am fortunate, I don't get headaches, but I know several folks that get migraines. I thought this might be of help to them, I hope so: http://www.aolhealth.com/health/facelift-ends-migraines
