Mirabeau Blue Gen­e­sis Coupe

Bike rode to pay our bills (cable, water, power & doc­tor) this morn­ing and ended up at Atlanta Bread Com­pany for break­fast. Maybe tomor­row I’ll tell the paper cup story.

This after­noon I fixed some­thing, which is a rare occur­rence around here. Last time I went to use the leaf blower it wouldn’t go. The gas line from the tank to the “car­bu­re­tor” was bro­ken. It had dried out and cracked in a cou­ple places. We found a kit at Big Box Home Store and I man­aged to replacethem with­out too much trou­ble. I did have to enlarge one hole in the plas­tic tank to fit one of the plas­tic tubes through. There appears to be a minis­cule bit of leak­age at that point, but I doubt it cre­ates any hazard.

With that repaired, I pro­ceeded to blow the oak pollen clus­ters off the roof and back deck. Donna then took over and cleaned the front walk and dri­ve­way. While she did that, I fin­ished hos­ing the pine pollen off the screened porch, so that maybe we can enjoy our din­ner out on Monday.

Tonight I’m watch­ing the Red Sox — Yan­kees game on ESPN, but lis­ten­ing to it on the WEEI off the ‘net. I’ve tried sev­eral times in the past to do this, but the audio and video never lined up. Tonight, for some rea­son, they are in sync.
