Blog settings changed and other stuff

I have made some changes to the blog settings. One of which is the ability to post comments. Years ago I used to have it set so anyone could leave comments but then some unsavory characters left inappropriate ones so I changed it so they were not shown. So now I set it  to allow comments but you are required to be a registered user. So look in the left column and find where you can join and then be able to comment on a post. I think this will add a bit of pizzazz so I hope you decide to join and comment. Some of you have joined in the past so you will not need to rejoin. Also, let me know what you think about the changes.

Butch and I cleaned the vent covers on the roof. Now if you know me at all you know I did the ground work and he did the roof work. We had not cleaned them since they were installed so it was long overdue. A great deal of satisfaction is a result of getting these chores done.
Afterwards we walked over to the flea market. The cheese slicer I have used for my entire married life (55 years) broke. New ones like it are hard to come by. You know the ones I mean with a wire and a roller? My roller was long gone but I had learned to adjust.We saw a new one in the grocery store but the wire was wobbly and would never do a good job so we passed on it. So I looked to see if the Rada company made a cheese slicer and yes they do. It is more like a knife than a wire but I have always liked Rada products so decided to go with it. The Rada factory is in Waverly Iowa! Buy USA!   https://www.radacutlery.com/ 
I have used it once and I am happy with it. There is always a learning curve with a new utensil but I think it will be fine. Getting my slices straight was an issue but that was true of the old one as well.
On Amazon this little jewel was $10.90 while at the flea market it was $6.99

We usually go to the flea market on Saturdays so the remainder of Wednesday turned into Saturday for me.  Having two Saturdays doesn't matter when retired. It just means you are slightly askew for a bit.

My agenda for today is to continue on the cleaning. Butch plans to shuffle this morning and play cribbage this afternoon.

Another thing that happened yesterday concerned golfing in Boone. Aha! I bet that set you to wondering. I am a MyPoints member. I have been for years. Since 1998 actually. They send me pages in email, ads really and if I click on the page and go to the website I rack up 5 points merely for going to it. Do not have to buy anything and believe it or not it has never resulted in any spam for me. Once your points have accumulated you can buy things or get gift certificates. I usually get gift certificates for Amazon. 1700 points will get me a $10 credit for Amazon or many other stores. I have done this many times. Since 1998 I have racked up over 70,000 points. If this interests you let me know because I get points if others join too but that is not what this is about.
While looking at the MyPoints email, they offered a Groupon deal for a golf round in the DesMoines area. I am also a Groupon member so I checked it out. Two people with a cart for 18 holes was $29 and it was at the Boone Iowa course in town! That is a few blocks from Jason. So I  purchased the deal. Since it was through MyPoints I received 15 points per dollar too. 435 points! Win/Win!!

Most days it does not take much to amuse me.
