New stuff
Well, it’s been an interesting week or two, for me at least.
A tree in front of our house gave up the ghost in a recent thunder/wind storm. We had some really high winds with this storm, and when I came home for lunch, half of this tree was sitting in my driveway, having been blown off the main tree. The tree was ripped from one main branch down to the ground, exposing the insides of the tree. It was pretty bad, and the arborologist or whatever they’re called said it was a goner, so we had it cut down and the stump ground out. We were considering putting in another tree, but we’ve decided to let it be and do nothing for now.
Apparently Plano has an ordinance about old cars that don’t run. You can’t have them in your driveway out where everyone can see them. My old ‘89 Toyota is a case in point, apparently. I admit it doesn’t run. I stopped driving it maybe five or six years ago when it needed brake work. Nothing else is really wrong with it, but it just hasn’t been driven. I’m not sure what it would take to get it running again. Well, probably just fixing the brakes, tune-up, oil change, fluid replacement, air in the tires and getting some gas into it or getting the gas that’s in it to work again. I need to get it fixed or towed and junked, so I have a decision to make. Need to discuss it with Anne.
Also, got my copies of 4th edition D&D, for a steal on Amazon.com. They’re supposed to be around $110 for all three books ($35 each), but the set in a slipcover was on sale for $64 and I decided to get it. I’m going through them now to see what’s different from 3.5e. We’ll see.
That’s about it for now. Today is Thursday, so tomorrow is when we celebrate Independence Day here. We’re planning to go see the fireworks here in town if we can.
