Sometimes my mind astounds me
Pittsburgh Pirates have a player named Dan Vogelbach. I said to Jackie, he played for the Cubs at one time.
So I Googled the Pirates roster, clicked on his name, and sure enough! Cubs signed him in 2011, he played with them until 2016, mostly in the minors but with a couple of major league call ups, then he was moved to another team.
If I remember, he was playing first base and the Cubs realized they already had a first baseman in Anthony Rizzo, so they traded him.
Why do I remember that, but I can not remember what happened to the hose I bought last year! This was one of those expensive coils up when you turn off the water type that I used for porch plants.
I swear I put it away. But it is nowhere in the garage. Not that my garage is that clean a cursory glance would locate it, but it is not there.
I found the martin house I thought would be put up in my back yard 9 years ago. I found three tank sprayers, a couple of animal traps, some orange vests for people picking up trash along the roadside, and other odds and ends. But no hose.
Understand: my entire afternoon was based on finding that hose!
Jackie had a hair appointment so I was there until almost 3. When I got home I spent time trying to find the hose and also trying to disconnect two hoses so I could use one of them on the garden. As hard as I tried, I could not disconnect them.
So I decided to read for a few minutes on the front porch. I got a blanket out of the car, picked up the mail, sat in my chair.....and slept for about 90 minutes. Julia woke me at 6:15.
It just confuses me that I can remember something from 10 years ago but not last year.
Did that hose develop a leak and I tossed it? Is it in a secret spot? Did I put it in the basement?
Time may tell.
Meanwhile, if you would like a purple martin house, let me know. It's dinged a little, but should still attract those prolific mosquito eaters.
