MAINTENANCE

After a great new groundbreaking three way walk this morning, it was time to do some maintenance. A hair cut.

What about the walk?

Booker gets to choose. Unless he doesn't. And today, he went straight up Baristo and on past Sunrise. We went past the library, the drive to the community swimming pool, then on past the semi-pro ball field which actually has a team these past few summers (The Palm Springs Power--mostly college stars). Then on past the theater that shows all the art films and finally, to the high school complex. We turned right along Farrell and crossed Ramon (not one car on a Sunday morning) and went to the Mesquite golf course where I used to bike through.

Today, we walked through. Very nice.

Then to Sunrise, headed north, then west on Baristo and home.

The time was just about the traditional hour and fifteen minutes for a Sunday walk.

It was cool. We left at 6AM, a little late for summer, but no problem. Just a little damp on the back of my neck. 78 degrees.

Home and off in the Jeep to fill the gas tank for the selling process. Tomorrow he will get new shoes on the front and the brakes checked. Spiffy. A smog check and then he will get an airing on CraigsList.

I am glad to have a friend do all this for me. He will get 10%.

The Jeep is in good condition and, for its age, low milage. The problem will be the stick shift. We will have to find someone who loves it like I did.

Then home, the back of my neck dried off, I cut my hair.

It takes about 20 minutes to do. I need to go slow and go over it many times to be sure not to leave small patches.

Then a shower and on with the day for which nothing but a movie is planned.
