@matigo How do you get the scooter onto the bus, though?
The vet just phoned me. A credit for the euthanasia cost has been applied to my account. They had fitted an IV to administer the drugs but that process plus stress of travel in the car & her poor condition caused her death. The euthanasia had been billed but not performed, hence the refund of that component of the bill.
Worried about my cat’s difficulties in breathing & irregular health plus inability to jump effectively, I called the local vet, just 350 metres away. They examined her and agreed with my assessment that euthanasia was the kindest treatment option. They took her out to another room to fit an IV to help calm her prior to injecting the drug cocktail. I paid the bill after filling out the consent form and learning she was gone.
At a regional Men’s Shed gathering two months ago I participated in a power tool raffle, winning the last prize of the day, a mains-powered submersible pump. Not having any use for it either at home or in our Shed, I donated it to a Rotary tool-collecting program that’s constructing & equipping community tool sheds for bushfire-affected areas. It was gratefully recieved, along with some other surplus power tools which were only taking up space, having been replaced with battery-powered items.
Today, just ten minutes up the road, there was another gathering of the same group. Same process, power tool raffle. I won another item, a choice between a chainsaw sharpener or a hammer drill. I decided the bushfire community shed program could use a chainsaw sharpener, so that was my choice.
There had been several speakers on the day, the last one was the co-ordinator of the Rotary project. I asked a question: “Could you use a chainsaw sharpener? I just happen to have one here.”
Again gratefully received, plus it gets the name of our little group out into the wider community of Men’s Sheds.
Bought some new jeans today, of course in order to fit over my fat arse I have to buy extra-long ones. I need them fairly urgently tomorrow so there’s no time to have them professionally shortened.
So I folded up 12.5 cm of cuff on the inside and stuck it down with duct tape.
Which will last until the first wash…
@streakmachine Someone has recently designed a 3D-printable case to hold an Apple AirTag onto a Siri remote.
@matigo His parents bought the very last Chevrolet sold to a civilian in 1940. There were none available again until the end of WW2.
Going through some of Mum’s old photos I found one from 1955, it was of my oldest cousin’s 15th birthday. Which means he’s now 81.
