We had another weird softball preseason game this past week, but at least we played against another full team. And we turned a few 6-4-3 double plays in the process, which is always fun. Natalie had gone to the library for a painting class just before the game and was walking home so I had to do a mad dash to find her and get her and get her home to get to the game on time. Saturday I emptied the storage unit (overdue since the storage loft in the garage has been done for a while, but this will save us $70 per month), which was harder than I thought it was going to be since one of the camper tires was flat flat flat. I couldn’t move it by pushing or pulling, so I had to get creative in wangling the truck into position to pull the camper out enough to be able to get the tire pump to reach as far as the flat tire. But the camper is back in the garage. I may get another unit next winter for the camper, but for now I’m trying to save money. On that same note, I’m switching our TV provider to Comcast cable because the Dish price just went up again and I’m paying nearly $100 now. And the internet just went up too so I’m trying to bundle and save. Looks like I can save around $60 per month there between internet and TV. Although as of today, I’ve been trying to get the downstairs TV working (involving running some cable through the walls downstairs, which is always fun…sort of) for several days and it still can’t communicate with the set-top box. In other news, the church picnic was this weekend, Beth spent way too much time cooking and getting food ready and got up way too early (I helped) to turn the crock pots on in time (I turned one of them on but forgot to plug it in) and such, but in the end we had a beautiful day for it and a good turnout with plenty of food.
