<\/a>7-day forecast<\/p><\/div>\n
Our local grocery store, City Market, has a loyalty card program that earns us “fuel points” on\u00a0our purchases. We redeemed some this last week (points are good for a month) and paid $1.20 per gallon for regular after our $.70 cent discount. I took my extra fuel cans along and pumped 33.4 gallons total, saving us a bit over $23.00. Fuel prices will\u00a0go up again, but we sure enjoy the current low prices. The 33 gallons will last us about two weeks as we are not running the truck or many of my toys.<\/p>\n
Sanderling Update: We filled out the well permit application and mailed it off to the state, including our docket permit, warranty deed, and check for $100.00. It will be 6 – 8 weeks before we hear back.<\/p>\n
I had dental work done this past week, a root canal and fitting for a crown. It will be 3 weeks before the crown is in and I finish this particular episode. I am not a big fan of dentists, but have two more teeth to work on before I can get an “all is well” so I’ll be back for more work later this year.<\/p>\n
A CD\u00a0player was added to our rehabbed stereo system so we can now move away from playing CDs on the computer. Player came from a Habitat for Humanity store in Grand Junction. I was also looking for a good cassette deck – we still have a couple dozen tapes in our collection – but did not find any so I am bidding on one from eBay. I hope to win it\u00a0this week.<\/p>\n
Daughter Felicity is currently in Malta (an island in the Mediterranean between Italy and Africa) but will begin a house-sit in England shortly. After that she takes the train\u00a0to France for another house-sit. \u00a0Felic\u00a0returns to the States in May to interview for\u00a0an extended (5 month) house-sit back in the USA in\u00a0the Portland, Oregon, area for next winter. Then she’s looking at cruising\u00a0to Alaska. \u00a0That girl does get around.<\/p>\n
The Honda turned over 352,000 miles. I had replaced the thermostat a few weeks ago and the check engine light no longer comes on, a good thing. One of these days \u00a0that car is just going to drop dead, but until then we keep on truckin’ with it.<\/p>\n
My glucose levels are now averaging around 107. 70\u00a0– 130 is considered “normal” by the American\u00a0Diabetes Association. Considering I started with a daily high of 338 in early December I am satisfied with the results so far. I did find that, for me, anything below about 90 results in trembling hands\u2026not good\u2026so I am getting\u00a0closer to establishing the lower end of the levels that seem best for me.<\/p>\n
