Low 80s were nice today but I still ran the AC in the truck due to humidity.

Shopping trip never happened as planned. While on Lowes website a couple of days ago, after having manually chosen a store, they decided a different store was better. Half of what I planned to get was not available in the original store that I had planned on going to.

I just went to the local town and got a couple of things from the hardware/lumber store and did food shopping. Got black poly to kill things off under the tunnel. Only $1.50 more. Grabbed a pair of hinges for the back door of the shed. It’s shimmed and screwed in place. All I need to do is screw the hinges on, take the holding screws and shims out and it’s a door.

Only item I didn’t get that I’m in a hurry for is mig welding wire but I took enough off the spool to get past the rusty wire for the most part so I should be able to weld now. I put the welder in the shed too where it will stay drier.

The “location” sniffing and altering what store I was viewing based on that still pisses me off but hey, their loss not mine. I spent less money and they had one less customer today.

Walmart thinks I live in Sacramento, CA and that I speak Spanish. Have to correct that every time I use their website - which is weekly most months.

That’s why I try to: Shop The Pig! ;)
