I've got no idea what's going on but my left hip is just hurting like hell. I haven't fallen; haven't bumped into anything; haven't overdone anything; it just hurts like crazy. This getting old sucks! Otherwise things are just fine. We are hitting somewhere in the 90 F (32 C) area during the day and in the 50's (10 C) at night.
We had a guy come in and take out our weeds back in Feburary and, to our surprise, he charged us $700 for something like half a day's work. We've got more weeds now so called him up. He came around and this time we asked what he would charge before he started the job. He's from somewhere south of the border so he called his wife and had her talk with my wife on the phone. They came up with $800! Well, needless to say, we just sent him on his way. We won't be bothering him again!
Every year we donate to various charities. Generally it's a couple hundred of dollars except for our local VFW food bank that gets something like that in food every month or so. I'm good with donating to the charities but, damn, they are really demanding once they have your name! We get 2 or 3 requests a day for more money! We probably get one bill a week for electricity or a magazine or something; then we get 8 or 10 requests for donations. That's bad enough but then we get packages of birthday cards or calendars or who knows what. And the really stupid thing is that we don't donate to any of those charities! You'd think that they would figure it out after a year or so but, no, they just keep on asking for money and sending us crap.
Ok, enough bitching moaning and complaining. I hope you are having a great week. Keeping washing those hands and staying away from the sick folks. Take care.
