Good news is that today was as nice a day as yesterday, bad news is that the pine pollen is not finished. Man the car looks spiffy as heck with it’s new wax job, but there is a small layer of yellow dust all over it. Didn’t get the interior done because my wife talked me into going for a bicycle ride. First time I’ve been on a bike since sometime last fall and after 20 miles, boy was my butt sore. Doesn’t feel too bad now, but I’m sure if I went back out and sat on the seat again the agony would return full force.
On a whim we decided to replace the area rug in the dining room. Off we went to our favorite rug store, Lowes. We have hard wood floors and they really need refinishing, but we just cover them up with cheap $100 8 x 10 rugs. All the others are just plain tan/beige things, but this time we went with a pattern that has most of all the colors in the wallpaper and curtains. Fortunately today was sunny so we could get this rolled up rug home in the family pick-up truck, the Miata. On the way home we had to stop in a mini-mart for a quick item. Donna ran in and left me in the car guarding the rug (like anyone would steal a 9′ long, 12″ diameter roll.) While lolling around waiting I noticed the tag on the rug, underneath the plastic wrapper, it said, “Contents: 100% undetermined fibers.” Soda bottles? Tires? Mattress stuffing? Barbershop floor clippings? I think I’ll keep my socks on.
