Day 141: Good god why am I up again at 5 am... my internal clock is completely fucked this week. Didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I fed the boy... sat down on the bed and then he asked if he could go for a bike ride with his friends... Hm? What? Ah ya I guess... some how it was 1pm... I lost about 4 hours some how. So he is going to meet his friends at the landing... they didn't show up, he came home and wanted to know how to get to the store so he could go look for them... I showed him on google maps, street view. Normally the town is so small directions are not something anyone would need... but they are repaving the highway through town today and the phrase "You Can't Get There From Here" pretty much applies everywhere in town today. He looked at the store, no luck... he came home again. I gave him other options where to looked and asked him if he wanted to see on the map again but he had just kinda given up. An hours or so later his friends showed up at the door... he went with them but now has to wear a mask... so... he got a bandana that he got from Ringette a few years ago and we rigging him up like he was from the wild wild west and sent him on his way... I hope he didn't rob anyone while he was out. Sidekick stopped by... no cooling fan in the car, well it was there but wouldn't go on, just over heated. I rewired it... it's now on when the key is turned on and off when the key is off... we will worry about cold weather issues when and if the car lives until fall. The wife came home and questions me about the boys location... he's riding his bike in town... well that pretty much narrows it down to a 4 block radius. not large blocks either... some only have 3 or 4 houses in the block. He came home almost on time... he was walking his bike and had to deal with getting back across the road they were paving so we didn't bust his hump about the time... looks like the chain came off... going to have to teach him to fix that. The boy was fed, Heather and I poked around for something we could eat... the farmers wife gave me some cauliflower to try, it was small and stressed out but free so I'll try to eat it... it didn't cook like proper cauliflower, took too long and never did tender up a lot... ran it through the blender with some cheese and butter to make something akin to mashed potatoes... a little chunky but tasted the same... Heather didn't finish hers... she found her time would be better sleeping than eating and at the prospects of having to look for something else to eat, she gave up and went to sleep... Lawson once again followed suit shortly there after and I was left alone to poke at stuff on the internet... I found an engine hoist for sale.... Hmmmm...
