It has rained all day. Had some pretty good downpours also. I got caught in one. I went out today to Walmart. It wasn't raining or maybe just a sprinkle but when I was inside I could hear the heavy rain hitting the roof. When I walked out it was coming down steady but I went to my car anyway. I don't mind a little rain on me. Then I stopped at Agway and on the way home from there it came down heavy. I waited in the car for a few minutes when I got home but then I figured what the heck. I might as well get real wet. So I did and it felt good!! I changed when I got inside.
Before I went to Walmart I rode to Ilion to Steve's Jewelers on Otsego Street to have him look at my rings. He told me what they were worth in gold and what they'd sell for wholesale as is. I want to sell them on Ebay but I really don't trust that place any more and I don't have a Paypal account any more. My Pearl Mabe is worth the most. He said not to sell that for any less than $450. The other two are $250 each and one is $125. I paid $900 each for two of them in 1982. I wish I knew someone that could buy them or even one of them. Otherwise I'll have to take a loss and sell them for the gold that's in them. But then I'd only get $450. But It's better than nothing and I need the money right now. I had them on Ebay at one time but never sold them. I always put pictures up also. I sold a lot of stuff on Ebay at one time but never really made anything by the time I paid for all the ads etc. But it wasn't anything expensive. Old Whiskey decanters etc.
Debby stopped over last evening for about an hour or so. She had been doing her laundry in Herkimer. She's on 10 hour shifts now at the Remington Arms and works Saturdays also. She hates her job but there's nothing else out there for her right now she says. And she had taken yesterday off because her back was killing her. She's having lots of back problems now. She's always had some back problems since a car accident years ago. Her foot is hurting all the time too. She can't get in to see her doctor till July.
My back has been pretty good for a few days. Knock on wood.. And that groin pain has subsided. Every once in a while I'll feel it a little but not like it was. I'm not complaining! I'm still here and alive. Never expected to be at this time.
I still haven't seen the fox pups again. It's only been four days... The mom keeps hiding the treats all over near the bushes so the pups can find them after dark I think. I have heard them after dark. But the other night there was one growling at another. My poor Granny fox gets chased away now if the parents of the pups come around. She went running fast this evening around the front of the building again. Then too many people see her and get nervous. I'm always afraid someone will call the cops and kill her. Just like they did the poor Porcupine a couple years ago. One guy down the street always calls the cops. He's always afraid his beagle will get attacked. I still can't believe that cop shot him as he sat in a tree. They all think that any animal out during the day has rabies. Well they don't!
The trial got done at noon today because the judge had a prior commitment. They are still talking forensics so it's boring.
So that's all for today. It's going to hot and humid here the next few days. Yuck! I was happy that it stayed in the 60's today because of all the rain.
Take care everyone.
