This morning, though cloudy was dry and warm. High 40’s and no wind to allow me to get outside to for a much needed repair project at the mailbox.
When I did the flower bed around the mail box I kept the mulch to our side of the lawn up to where the post is on the road side. Our mail delivery people do not drive up to the box off the road making it a mute point. When Al and I did the dirt along the drive we put a small load in front of the box up to the new drive edge. The problem is the new newspaper carrier puts the paper in the newspaper slot of the box. Great service, but she is driving up to the box and through the mud. Big mess leaving a large mud rut. I took the wheel barrow up to Bonnie’s this morning and asked her if I could have a load of gravel from her side spot, which, is actually our gravel they took out when the paved the drive. I put two loads of gravel down in the front of the box and smoothed out the rut.
Once I finished that project I put the large load of flattened large cardboard boxes from the big delivery in the Trooper and hauled it to the landfill just outside of town off hwy 18.
I still had a couple of things to unbox and put on the shelves from the big kit supply delivery. I took care of that and cleaned out the shop vac and put a on new dry filter, which has not been done in years.
I have Friends bookstore duty this afternoon from 1:30 to 5.
