Rainy Day

We've been hoping to get some real rain to test the repairs to our leaks. It's been raining steadily for hours now, and so far, so good.

This morning Ken took the truck in to have the alignment corrected. One of the front tires was showing uneven wear. When the repair was done, the mechanic mentioned to Ken that the hubs were locked so the truck was in four-wheel drive. How did that happen? Ken asked the guy to unlock them, so now we're in normal two-wheel drive. We certainly never locked the hubs, so we're thinking they must have been that way for a long time. Maybe our fuel economy will improve now.

While Ken was out with the truck, I defrosted the freezer and cleaned out the fridge.

This afternoon we went over to Carol and Dick's with the fixings for dinner. Carol has a long day on Tuesdays with work both in the morning and in the afternoon. We had baked dijon salmon, harvest grains, and fresh green beans. Carol fixed a spinach salad and brown bread, and she had made stovetop candies, so we had dessert. We enjoyed spending time with our friends and ended the evening by watching a new episode of NCIS, which is one of Carol's favorites. Ours too: we watch it in syndication.
