after working today...

... I had a couple of stops to make before getting home. The point at which tires should be rotated for optimal performance has long since passed, so went to the tire store for free service. Well, not actually free, but something they want you to think is a marvelous bonus as a result of buying high-priced, hopefully reliable shoes for your vehicle. Pretty sure the premium quality price included  moving the rubber from left to right and front to back far more times than will ever been needed.

I went to get it done last week, and was unwilling to spend the afternoon sitting in that little waiting space with the very loud television tuned to twenty-four hour sports channel. Decided to try my luck today, hoping it would be if  not more fruitful and fun, at least faster? Prepared to get it over with, I took the book I have been sporadically reading for weeks. But got engrossed in back issues of "Field and Stream", which is profoundly unlikely reading for someone who knows not a single thing about fish catching and animal shooting.

Following the time spent reading all manner of helpful hints for the best way to score the big buck or lure the large mouth fish, I had to make a stop at Wally world. I made the (unsurprising) mistake of going in the store through the garden shop entrance, and ended up spending over forty bucks on bulbs. Which I now need to make the time to get put in the ground before they sprout and start growing out of the package they were shipped in. There are also several packs of bulbs purchased last fall that make knock on the back door to insist they need holes for insertion as well. Bright spring sunshine beckons!
