It has been dang hot for the past week or so in Pocatello. Today hot was combined with humid, which is a rare occurrence in this part of the country.<\/p>\n

That hasn’t stopped outside yard work, though. I’ve been working on watering systems for the garden beds so that we can go away for a few days without everything drying up and blowing away. Not only did I have to make a couple of trips to Home Depot and Lowes for parts, some of the parts didn’t work and needed to be further repaired. That becomes very time consuming and makes me a bit grumpy.<\/p>\n

My favorite brother and his wife came here on Friday and spent the night. We all went to Soda Springs on Saturday to begin the process of getting ready to sell off most of dad’s tools in his workshop. His eyesight is deteriorating as his macular degeneration has turned wet in both eyes. He’s decided that now is the time to clean out the shop and see what the stuff will sell for. We’ve decided to hold the sale on Friday and Saturday, August 1st and 2nd. It’ll be held in their backyard in Soda Springs. So, we spent much of the day on Saturday in dad’s workshop sorting like tools together, finding which of the electric tools worked, cleaning up the shop, and making it ready for the big set of work still to come … to price and lay out everything for the sale.<\/p>\n

I made my monthly trip to Provo last week for the CTO Breakfast. I rode the motorcycle down and back, spending Thursday night at Heather’s place in North Salt Lake. The ride down was a lot of fun. The ride back got long and boring. I went down in the late afternoon and early evening when it was getting cooler. I came back in the late morning and early afternoon when it was very hot and quite windy. Getting enough to drink was an issue! I finally stopped and bought four bottles of water at a convenience store and downed them all on the rest of the ride. The motorcycle costs about half as much to drive down as the car and is usually twice as much fun!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we’ll go down to Heathers for a few days. Thursday, July 24th is a Very Big Holiday in Salt Lake, commemorating the arrival of the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley. The day starts with a concert and ceremony in the LDS Tabernacle on Temple Square at 7:00 a.m. and our daughter Heather is singing in the choir. We think that is a marvelous opportunity and we’ll be there to watch and listen.<\/p>\n

It’s also more than sweltering in Salt Lake City … so I’m hoping to have some quality swimming pool time as well as some air-conditioned time on the computer. We’ll also stop by the Apple Store to see if they have any iPhones. Time to upgrade! I may even blog….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
