Today was a busy day for me. I was out and went to the local Petco store to make an appointment for Miles to go get his nails clipped. It has been quite a while and he is beginning to get his sharp, long nails caught in the carpet. His appointment is tomorrow afternoon, so he should be doing so much better walking after that.
Then I headed to Alaska Industrial Hardware to find some rain/mud boots. I have been using Rob's to walk into the puddles to set up and remove the water pump. They had a nice selection and I was able to find some nice boots for my needs. Rob's are much heavier, but out where he and Kate live, he needs boots to deal with more puddles and muck. I also found a floor jack so that it will hopefully be easier to remove the tires on my car when we do the tire swap. It was not what I had gone in to buy, but they were next to the boots, so as I waited for the salesman to find my size in the back room, I noted the jack and my salesman helped me to pick out the right one for the job. Hopefully, it will be easier than the tiny bottle jack we used last fall.
The last stop was at Fred's for groceries. I had made a list in the Fred's app and it made things so easier to find stuff. I just had to put in the things on my shopping list and it ordered the list by the aisle where things could be found.
The weather today was a little cooler than the weekend weather had been so there was not nearly the melting happening. The changes were less noticeable.
These pictures were taken around 3:00 PM after I finished my errands. Some changes but nothing major.
Again, not much of a change. Still have the snow hardpack in front of my side of the garage. The car coming in and out all winter packs this stuff down more than the rest. That plus it gets shady here first... it will take longer.
A tad more was melted. I am just happy that it never got big enough to flood the garage.
The pump has really been doing a nice job of keeping up with the melting snow. When I put the pump back out this morning, the bottom of the pump could not be seen. At the time the picture was taken you can see the bottom and areas where the grass is above the water. The snow melting slower might also help the water level staying lower.
See you tomorrow!!
