what a day
Bob spent almost all day trying to get the tired to stay inflated.... no luck which meant we had to find a way to get the car to Goodyear.
I tried to get him to call AAA ( we have memberships) but he was positive that they wouldn't tow the car from our driveway. By late afternoon he was willing to call. A tow truck came and hopefully got the car to Goodyear before it closed.
Now we see what happens tomorrow... if necessary we will rent an Enterprise car so I can get to my electrocardiogram on Monday

Busy Thursday
Today has been quite a bit cooler.. nice! We had errands etc to run starting with my haircut. Bob sat and read while my stylist left hair all over the floor.
Then we were headed to the library but Bob heard weird noises from a tire. We stopped at QuikTrip's free air pump and filled the tires.
Bob decided it was safer to hear home and put off the other errands. Good thing... within an hour the tire was flat to the ground! Bet this is all part of Saturday's trip to Warrensburg.
Bob refilled the tires from our compressor and when the tired couldn't stay inflated ... called Goodyear.We now have an appointment tomorrow to replace the tire pressure sensors and to see what's wrong with the tire.... he will have to fill the tire extra-full and drive slowly to Goodyear.. fun!
We had many many spam calls today... all supposedly from Medicare. They're not going to get me!!

Blog
I am having trouble posting ... Here's hoping I'll be successful today.
It's been another hot day so other than getting ready for the quilting/craft group tonight we haven't done much of anything.
The quilting/craft group get together went well...Lots of talking ,,, working on projects ... and munching on all kinds of food items!!
Bob and I will check out the temps tomorrow morning and if things aren't too hot we will head out to the Brass Armadillo . We need some "steps" !
another errand go around
We headed out again...starting this time with returning a library book. Then we stopped at one of the "Mater Man" booths for tomatoes. peaches and a small watermelon. Then Bob and I "split up" . he went next door to CVS for his prescriptions while I went into our Neighborhood Walmart with a shopping list. By the time Bob was waiting for me and I had finished my list I was really feeling sick...it was hot and I was really thirsty.
But with Bob's loading and unloading the car everything was put away and I crashed in the recliner with something to drink!!
The craft/quilting group meets tomorrow so after recuperating it was time to get the dining room ready and the kitchen floor mopped...the cats do leave all sorts of stuff around!!
Speaking of stuff left around I have to put my work stuff away too!
Bob has already put his ham fest purchases away ... he is really pleased with them. After some work he will probably put some up for sale...

hamfest
Bob and I left at 7 am for the hamfest in Warrensburg. It was a nice trip until the tire pressure sensor went off....Not much Bob could do about it since Mo 50 is so rural. ( after we arrived he did check the tires..nothing he could see.)
We found the county fairgrounds which is the usual site and unloaded everything after finding our table.
Early birds started arriving "early" ...even before Bob had unloaded his boxes! It was a good day. Bob enjoyed talking to the "vintage" lookers. Those are the ones interested in his vintage stuff. He told enough and another old ham talked him into buying his old stuff.... think Bob broke even!!
I worked on my stuff.. a few wives were interested enough to ask... guess they had been following ham husbands around enough!!
The tire sensor thingy still making itself know but our trip back was uneventful. The car has been unloaded and we are back to normal.
Bob will check into the car's problem... hopefully an easy thing and no expensive trip to the dealer!!
Bob did get invited to an even bigger ham fest this fall in Sedalia ... two days..Sedalia is about another half hour east... home of the Missouri State Fairgrounds.

Another one of those round trips...
We headed out this morning for another round trip... starting with a sonogram at my doctor's office. Boy was it a quickie... results early next week. Then off to the bank. Bob needed cash for his ham fest sales. Then to Price Chopper - drinks etc for the icebox.... then to QT to fill the car's tank.
The hamfest is held annually in Warrensburg which is is about an hours drive south and east...We are leaving early so we can set up Bob's sales table.... and NOT taking I-70! Looking forward to the MO 50 route. It's rural and scenic!
I've prepped some things to work on while I keep Bob company .
BTW Jack's pain shot seems to be working... he was quiet and comfortable today!!
