Interviewed a really sharp person for a dev role today. We've talked to a few now but this one was the best by far.

Kid and his girl brought the baby over for a few hours.

After crawling around on the floor with him and toting him everywhere so he could see and explore I'm beat...and I'm out one huge plush bear from my collection (baby) some tie dye tops (girl), and a couple packages of frozen pork chops and an old laptop (boy).

My son mowed the grass without a lot of prompting.
I did the weed whacking.

The yard looks great after all the rain we've had.

At first it looked like the new microwave wouldn't fit its nook. Kayleigh said we needed a flat plug powerboard. I spotted the one down the side of the fridge and asked if that one would work. Lo and behold it does. We would have had to take the microwave back otherwise.

Not so much good, as weird.  I was taking a bicycle ride today and at the intersection of two roads, I spied what looked like money.  As I got closer and looked closely at it, it was 3 pieces of what appears to be a $100 bill.  It has the serial numbers, Ben Franklins face and was torn into 3 pieces.  Of course I picked them for later examination after my trip.  Got home, put them together and they are 3 pieces of one bill.  I have found weird things in my travels, but, this is the weirdest.  Long story short, I am going to take them to the bank to, A)See if it is real and not counterfeit, B) See if it is worth anything IF it is real.  C)Ask the bank what I can do with it. 

Stay tuned, children.  This is now the weirdest thing I have ever found.  Rock hunching has its surprises!   :laugh:

Update........and the verdict is FAKE!   :LOL:  Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.  The paper felt wrong, the serial numbers started with 2 letters, which is unusual.  Somebody did a pretty good job, but, it was a hoot of a find and now it is in the garbage where it belongs.   8)

Awesome!  I remember making $250 dollars in a year picking up recyclable cans and bottles from the roadside when we lived in Maine...that had a bottle deposit law.  When we moved to NH, that has NO bottle deposit law, I gave up.

I'll probably spend it bit by bit at the Salvos. Many places here don't accept cash because of Covid and germy money.

My wife was released from "Urgent Care" at the hospital and now she is preparing for her major surgery, next week to end all this, at home with a bunch of drugs, rest, special diet, and re-coups.
