Good To Go

 Ruth, Joan and I walked, Diane is now in Gulf Shores. After the walk the laundry was started first at the farm house but when I went to start the barn laundry I had to remove the stick bug from the door so it wouldn't end up inside the barn. As soon as I tried to pick it up it scurried up to the top of the door then on to the wall.

Once both washing machines were running I went home to make breakfast. After breakfast I drove to Sam's club and bought $200 worth of food and supplies. We were just about out of everything. Mark went to work on repairing the farmhouse downstairs toilet. It had developed a leak from the tank. Yesterday I had emptied the tank of water and then washed it out with bleach but then left for Morton so didn't finish. Today Mark needed my help to get the screws out. He had ordered new hardware and that is supposed to be delivered tomorrow so we can put the toilet back together then and that should fix the leak. I kept both machines running today and worked at both places until 2:00 pm then cleaned up and left for East Peoria Tire with the motorhome. The appointment was at 3:00 pm and I arrived about 15 minutes early. 
This wasn't just for an oil change, I also wanted them to look at front end to make sure everything on the underside was good and the last job was to look at the date codes on the back tires and change them if they were old. When the motorhome came off the first time I was told the underside was all in good shape and the tires all look good but they had not checked out the codes. Unfortunately they had to take it back up on the rack to check the codes. It turned out the 2 front tires were 2023 and 2 of the back tires were 2025 but the back inside tires were 2016 making them the original tires. I bought 2 new tires, they moved the 2023 tires from the front and put them where the 2016 tires were then the new tires were put on the front. That motorhome is now good to go. J Everything is in good shape and everything is working. Just as they were finishing up Dan arrived to pick up a tire. Levi had a flat so Dan dropped the tire off this morning and had just come to pick it up as the motorhome was finished. 
Funny how often I run into siblings.
I didn't get home until 5:40 pm and went straight to work making supper. Tonight we had salad, chicken strips and an egg roll then some ice cream for dessert. 
The puppies are doing well, Rilla is leaving them more often and asking to go outside then back in and back out and back in and back out. She discovered the cat food in the garage so we had to move that up on a shelf so she can't get into it. The mama cat has no problem getting up to the shelf, not sure if the kittens will try. 
The lady buying Harli's colt has scheduled to pick him up on Nov 5th. I will wean him at the same time as Tessa's filly.  Rosaleigh's colt is ready to wean now but I'm waiting one more week so he can be weaned with Star's filly.
