The good, the bad, ,the broken

 Oh boy, I have a lot to say tonight


    Got an e mail from Capital One about a charge by Avantgard for $45.

    I checked our on line orders and nothing showed.  Jackie did not order anything either, and it was her card that had the charge.

    The e mail said there had been complaints about this company. 

    So I called he number on the back of my card, talked to a nice rep, who told me the charge was made at an automotive store in California.

     The lady asked me if it was possible Jackie went to California and forgot about a purchase.

    I said doubtful because she is in a wheelchair.

    Jackie is getting a new card.  The $45 came off our card.

    Had a short but nice visit with Dan and Linda yesterday.  We met at the library and Dan and I  talked in hushed tones

    Went to a Buffet party at TC's house  today.  

    It was a small group, but lots of good conversation and great cheeseburgers!  Thanks to the Camplains for hosting.

    And now the broken.

    After the party I mowed our  yard.  Grass was kind of long and the yard does not look good.

    So I pulled out my tow behind the tractor yard sweeper.

    First off, the tow bar was way off center.  Once I took it apart I could not get it back together very easily.

    In fact, it took a little over half an hour to get the parts on the sweeper.

    After I did get it together, I hitched it to my mower and made a couple of passes in the back yard.

No grass was in the catcher.

    The wheel that drives the brushes did not move.  It rolls when I push it backward, but it does not roll when going forward, hence ho grass in the catcher

    By this point it was 8:30 and I just said to myself, "Gove up.  Try tomorrow."

    So I did and I will.

    If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Peace and Love

        Especially Peace
