When the air hose on your compressor goes.

And the only non-garbage hose they have on hand is nearly three times the price of what you were hoping to spend. Gah! New – expensive hose it is then. Good news though, it’s a fifty footer so I nolonger need to haul the compressor out of the garage to reach all four tires from either vehicle. That makes me happy. One small win atleast.

Had hoped to go to the driving range today. But weather and life events for others stepped in the way. No biggie. No point swinging for the fences with my nine iron or #3 driver when there’s such a heavy wind blowing. Plus I pretty much blew up my budget on the new air hose, so not paying to hit balls was also a welcome break.

At least I’ve remembered to pull our tent out of the shed to let it air out for a few hours so that it doesn’t smell of grass clippings and gasoline from the shed.  Not going to be much fun to sleep in if it smells like a landscapers garage shop. Now it’s time for the youngest one to go and do her Girl Guides sleep away camping night. Luckily this one is just for a single night, and not two days like the last one. The eldest has to be up and out the door Saturday morning to make the 7:00am train. Which isn’t ideal, as far as I’m concerned. Why do people want to do shit so gods be damned early on a Saturday. Now I’ll need to be up by six, to sort out breakfast, and drive time in order to get her to the train station in Markham. So no late night playing video games or watching movie(s) plural.

I’ll satisfy myself with just the Rangers Panthers game on tv. I pray it doesn’t go into over time, and that I can be in bed before 11:00pm. Was invited to a Refreshment Friday just over the road, but I have no babysitter on speed dial, wife is out for the night at camp with the youngest, and the inlaws are elbow deep into the farming/planting cycle. As in “not available”. So no party for me. Oh well. There will be others! If the eldest were twelve or more I’d be out like a shot, but nines just too young to be left alone at night for four plus hours.

I might still take a karaoke break to rock some tunes by myself tonight, but I’m not sold on it just yet. Anyway, have a good weekend. Ciao Bella.
