T.G.I.F.
One more work week just about done. Harley is in the shop for 5,000 mile service. Switched out plugs Monday night, and front cyclinder plug was badly fouled. Mechanic said front cyclinder was getting too much fuel. Hopefully they can and will adjust this. Shipment of tires is due in next Tuesday, so have appointment Thursday for new rear tire before I leave Sunday for Sturgis.
Finally got word that the TERI check had reached its destination in NH. Took two weeks, and I was getting nervous. Was mailed from Columbia on the 10th but did not reach New England until the 17th, and they won't post it until the 22nd. Worked too hard and too long for that check to get lost!
Went to River Club last night---Thursday evening commitment. Cards were not good. Lost first two games but was leading third when time was called---we always stop at 9 PM. No money involved, but the competition is fierce among members as we play Setback, an old card game. Median age of club members must be 80. I am next to youngest member! Oldest is 82. We have dinner at 6:30 and then play for about two hours. Need new members. Club has dwindled to only a dozen or so. More than twenty years ago, when I first joined, we must have had 40 members. Age has taken its toll.
Headed to Winnsboro tomorrow for part of weekend and then on to Greenville Sunday for PASCAL board planning retreat at Furman. Hope to have dinner Monday evening with daughter Shannon, grandson Tucker and cousin Andrea in Greenville.
Still have two hay fields near Winnsboro that very much need cutting but can't find time to work that in yet. Maybe after the Sturgis expedition...
