Missing Trash Can Lid

Last night I took out the trash can. That's because the trash man comes early on Friday. Momoko told me Friday was supposed to be windy. So I placed the can right up against the back of my truck.

Sure enough the trash man came and left by the time I woke up this morning. Before work I like to roll in the trash cans. However I could not find the lid. I looked down the street. I looked under the truck. It was nowhere to be found.

So I thought about what the trash dudes do. They normally throw the lid on the curb in the yard. I looked around and found the lid by our house. The thing must have blown across the front yard to the house. Gail force winds.

All Wet

Yesterday we packed up our belongings from the camp site. It had rained the previous night. So there were a lot of things that were wet. I decided we should just wrap them up and throw them in the car.

When we got home, I tossed the wet stuff back on the patio. I figured we would dry them before putting them away. This morning it looked like it might rain again. So I decided to leave the stuff out on the patio. When I got home, I hoisted everything up on the patio fence rails to air out.

It is quite windy here. The air show dry everything out. I think I will let the kids take down all the stuff and fold it up properly. It is a chore to get this big tent to fold up and fit into the small bag. We don't need to store the stuff too permanently. I think we are going to go camping as a family next month. We will not be hiking 10 miles during our trip like the Boy Scouts do.
