We had our champagne and morning conversation, which is, always special.  The day is planned and we are off and running.   The Gray Lady and I went shopping. The Avalon is my favorite car&#8230;just love her to death and she is middle aged now, only 140,000 miles!   It is Bob Z&#8217;s birthday and he needs his &#8220;boys birthday presents&#8221; so Lowe&#8217;s here I come.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/08\/toyota.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40138\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/08\/toyota.png 600w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/08\/toyota-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/08\/toyota-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/08\/toyota-450x338.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>The Grey Lady was ready to run!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lowe&#8217;s is where I really love to shop &#8230; and now for Bob, it was fun! What does a guy with everything need.  Oh, an electronic digital caliper, GCFI receptacle tester, six prevision pliers, 100 cable ties, six different colors of electrical tape, etc.  Now I get to pack them in a birthday bag!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Returning home we attacked the left-overs (doggie bags) and therefore ate internationally again.  I had sausage and peppers with a serving of moo-sho vegetables.  Funny, I was singing Italian opera with a Chinese accent afterwords!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"512\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sausage-peppers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sausage-peppers.jpg 683w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sausage-peppers-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sausage-peppers-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/08\/sausage-peppers-450x337.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption>The best sausage and peppers I ever had was made by Sue &#8230; Totally vegetarian and fantastic!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To the garden!  I removed the corn stalks and filled a 100 gallon trash can and prepared the beds for winter planting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later afternoon it was too hot and humid outside so the air conditioning got a chance to run while we watched our medical shows!   While I really like Grey&#8217;s Anatomy I an getting tired the political statements being made &#8230; seems every third &#8220;patient&#8221; is either gay or a black and white couple.  Looks kinda silly after a while but I guess that&#8217;s the media pushing their sicko agenda.  I just keep the remote ready for a fast forward then the those scenes appear <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s off to Garden Grove Elks for an evening with friends and tonight we had two birthdays and twenty-two of the gang with us.  <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/friends\/friends2019\/2019-08-23-birthdays\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" label=\"Join in on the fun!
