Tuesday.
Today was intended to be an occasion to finish my grades and wrap up the semester. That was not to be.
Fergus needed his Parvo booster and all of our cats are at the end of their Rabies shots, so I told Stephanie I would take them in because she had even more work to do than me.
It wouldn't take long, right?
Our vet's office is open but doing curbside, so I took the truck to get our bbq propane tanks filled first. After getting the tanks filled, however, the truck wouldn't start. It seemed to be the battery, but even booster cables didn't work. It was still the factory battery and the truck is almost 5 years old. Guess I got my money worth. Jarrod from Moore Tire and Auto came out and replaced the battery; I cannot recommend them enough!
Already frustrated, I took in Fergus and Shadow. It took them over 20 minutes to see us (You had to pull up, call them, and wait) but finally, they came out for Shadow and quickly gave him his shot and returned him. Then they took in Fergus but kept him for near 45 minutes. It turned out that they didn't know Shadow had been brought out. They thought they lost the cat!
After that, I drove to Moore's to pay for the battery. He said it is about the most expensive battery made, and it is the one required for the Chevys.
In honor of Cinco de Mayo (and Taco Tuesday), I picked up tacos from Taco Shop. Sadie loves that.
The afternoon was calm, and I worked on Wild Montana Skies on the guitar. After supper (Korean-style Oxtail), I worked with Sadie on her "mandolele" (Ukelele tuned like a mandolin) and Stephanie worked through a lesson for her base.
Meanwhile, I spoke to Raymie who told us about a bluegrass gospel festival at Salmon Lake. I think we may try to take the RV rather than journey to Oklahoma to Lake Murray this time. It is closer and works better with our work-at-home situation.
The governor made another statement today and the barbershops open Friday. Still no word on the state parks.
