Oct 10

 Awakening in a different bed. A pullout plus topper. The Ikea pad was for a camp cot affair. A simple folding frame and mattress pad 

On top of the pullout springs and mattress - a little kingdom for the night

Sunny and cool, Eternal Blue is clear

out front on construction - men worked and the machines got closer .... then around dinner. A cement truck is idling along and filling a tractor w / a chute ..... the machine forms the shoulder and pours along. I went for a shower and the machine was finishing our section. Now, guys do come behind and form the driveway curb but that curb maker keeps rolling

🛺 ...seven come eleven ...

  🛺 ... oh, the 7 th of octobrinus.
dull, out there and plenty of noise as they replace sidewalks and curbs

fairly overcast and slight chance of rain

....seven come eleven ... is a call out in craps. 7 or 11 on the come out is a winner

construction was continuing on the street curbs and sidewalks on the other side
construction on this side was .... me ..... I dug out five square pavers and replaced them. I built a wall of pavers outback and started to scavenge those units for the front walk. The pavers get salt and shovel damaged AND it has been twenty years or so.
