Big Ouchie

Here's a series of pics showing one other improvement to the garage from the weekend. When we moved in, there was a short tool-hanging fixture. It was pretty handy, but...


...we had lots of other tools that needed to be hung, so...


...we installed a fixture that extends almost the full length of the western wall. Much better.


Also, we propped up the tomater plants with thin bamboo tripods.


Some squashes are starting to grow. We think those are the acorn variety, but who knows.



PS
This PS falls in the category of "whatever else comes up" mentioned at the bottom of yesterday's post.

At the end of Sue's last full day at the VA, she said goodbye to her colleagues, then walked to the car. Grover's back foot was hurt though. Oh no!


Looked like a pretty small ouchie from the outside (see the little nubby protrusion?), but...


...it was a big ouchie!



Three-point-five inches of ouchie.


Two thousand miles ago we had our tires replaced (on Wayne's Honda shop's instructions and so we would pass our state inspection) at Firestone around the corner from the house. And last night, the punctured tire had a little air in it, so we drove back home at about ten mph directly to Firestone. Our house and Firestone are only about two miles from the VA.

The tire was new enough that it held its shape pretty well on the drive - no damage to Grover's rim - and the tire was apparently under warranty. So they replaced it for free, and we only paid $17 for Firestone to discard the ruined tire. Pretty fortunate all considered.

It's the last day of internship! Woo hoo! Sue's sleeping in because she has to be in only at 10AM, and her real job today is to orient the new intern taking her place, have a goodbye lunch, and then this evening, we'll go to a program-wide hello-goodbye BBQ thingie.

And it's the last day of the fiscal year, so tomorrow the Advancement office starts a couple months of summer hours: 8-4. Can I get a woo hoo, too? Woo hoo!
