Interesting couple of weeks. Some good and bad, but mostly all taken care of. I got a letter from the community management that they were going to do a 4 sided inspection last Monday. LUCKILY on last Saturday we had the contractor scheduled to come over and take care of some things outside the house. Like painting the window boxes and the metal railing around the front porch. Also the fix and paint the facia boards, they were getting a little shabby looking. Also repaint all the skirting around the house as the old paint didn't match the walls - more than few shades off. Also some rocks to replace the ones washed away from the flood. All that got done and things look good. On Sunday I went out on the patio and brought in my two planters with the artificial flowers in them. Waited with baited breath for my letter, it came on Wednesday. It said Congratulations, your home passed inspection. Well bless their hearts! Flowers are back out on patio.
Also on Monday we took the Jeep to be smogged - didn't pass. Because the battery had been disconnected all the sensors failed inspection. Lovely. But we were on the way to mechanic to get the air conditioning fixed any way. So now AC is working, all sensors are working and the mechanic smogged it. So all three vehicles are done and legal to be driven. I thought - yesterday I got a letter from the DMV saying they had no proof of insurance for the RV. WHAT!!! But I could go on line to fix it. Turns out the insurance company left out one letter in the Vin number. Called insurance and had them fix it. But still had to get corrections to DMV - Then I checked my proof of insurance card and it wasn't complete - I had an effective date but the expiration date was "Temporary". I don't think the DMV would like that. Went on line to the insurance site, to ID Cards..Still Temporary... So called them. TWICE - They said they would send me an email with the corrected ID card. NOPE still wasn't right. Called again. This morning got another email with ID Cards for all three vehicles - now they all say Temporary. UGHHHHH. So another call today.
Tomorrow we go to the eye doctor for Bill's eye shot. This one seems to be working pretty good. And last shot was two months ago. He has had 10 good days in a row, hope that keeps up.
We haven't been doing too much. Only groceries, mechanic and...well I guess that is it.
When I walk I can see the Sphere way downtown, but too far away to see what it is doing. I stole these off line. Pretty amazing.
Been trying to walk three days a week, not always making it. And it is getting hot even at 8:30 in the morning. Did get out yesterday and there was a lot of water in the river, running really fast.
He was sitting really still watching for something to go swimming by. No idea what type a bird he is.We did see several bunnies - they are finally coming back. Also stopped to check out the baby owls, They are getting bigger. Still three of them in the nest. Been getting in close to 3 miles a walk.

ReplyDeleteGlad things are going OK for you and Bill. Judy
Forgot. Lower down on that site is a photo of a female, just in case you see one. They look a lot different from the males. Judy
ReplyDeleteThat Sphere must be something to see a little closer. Your little birdie sure has a big foot. Guess that is why it is so easy to stand on just one leg. As always very nice photos.
ReplyDeleteAudrey - it is so nice to be able to outside with the greenery and rivers and wild life.
ReplyDeleteJudy - thank you. He is still hanging out right next to the river waiting for something to swim by.
Sandy - I would like to see the Sphere in person, but don't want to get into the mess of traffic on The Strip.
