I'm glad you got it fixed and it wasn't worse or more expensive for you.

Was it a tornado or just a storm cell? I really hate those big storms. Some people love to watch the thunder and lightning, but it scares the dickens out of me. And I think I mentioned it before that my dad's trailer had the roof ripped off when a tornado went through the area and he slept right through it. Not sure if the tornado actually went near his house as he was asleep and didn't realize anything had happened until he woke up to the open sky over his head, but he lived 20 miles outside of the town destroyed by the tornado, so it was surely the same storm system. So scary!

I have my written test for the drivers license in one week. I've been doing the practice tests, but I only pass about 1/3 of the time on those. There are some really obscure questions!

Yum.
(Looks more tasty than my heated up chicken and rice from last night 
) What did you have to drink with it? Glass of milk? (I usually have either milk or juice with lunch -- not that you care to know that or anything.
)Speaking of drinks, yesterday I bought blueberry Kefir -- it was awesome, for something different.

You'll definitely pass your driving test. You've been practicing for quite a while, and I'm sure you will ace the test!

I am late to this, but tomorrow is Thursday. Fingers crossed the parts arrive, and that solves the problem.

DS celebrated his birthday yesterday. He requested French toast for breakfast, which will happen on Saturday. Lunch, no requests. Dinner was tacos from a local joint. And for dessert, rhubarb upside down cake. The last Birthday he had with my mom, she got out of bed -- the cancer was pretty bad by then-- and insisted we pick rhubarb from the patch out back for it. He helped his Grandma make it. Mom made it another 4 months after that. Now, every year, DS wants this cake. This was probably the first time I could make it without tearing up, and just enjoy the memories of that particular day.

Thanks, but I'm really not that confident. There are 40 practice tests with actual questions from the tests, and I'm only averaging 1/3 pass rate. There are 2 sections to the test. There's a "danger recognition" part of 25 questions, where you are given a picture and you have something like 5 seconds to assess the situation and click on either "Brake", "Take your foot off the gas", or "Do nothing" and some of them are really contradictory with what they want you to do. Like....if you see children playing on the side of the street, you are supposed to brake. Unless there is snow, and then you are supposed to take your foot off the gas, because hitting the brakes could make you slide. But then if you are approaching a red light in snow, you still have to brake. So, if it's dangerous to drive past the children at 30 km per hour in good weather, surely it's dangerous to pass them at 30 km in snow! Then you should have started braking earlier so you had more time so you wouldn't slide! But if you click on "brake", it's wrong. I usually do pretty well on the other section, which is stuff like in which order do people go through an intersection. It gives you a picture and puts pedestrians, cyclists, cars on it, some on right-of-way streets, some on standard streets, or by a bus stop, and you have to drag the 1, 2, 3, 4 to the correct people in the proper order. But they also ask some pretty obscure things like if you're this age and you have a blood alcohol level of .6%, are you allowed to drive? Because your age and how long you've been driving are factors. If you are considered a beginning driver, you can have less alcohol in your system, but it also depends on how old you were when you got your license. But lots of people fail the first couple of times they take it, so if I fail, I fail. Then I just take it again. If I fail, I'll sign up for the weekly theory course to help me with the things I have trouble with.

I keep seeing ads for Door County pop up on my FB feed. Make it look like a covid free paradise. DD went with a friend's family for a couple days to the Dells. Not a lot of mask wearing or distancing going on there, either, from DD's stories.

Found out that the Wisconsin State Fair has a Fair Food Drive-thru for 4 weeks with a different menu each week. The first week is from July 23rd to the 26th.
I have no plans of going to the drive thru. I expect it to be crowded with week 3 and week 4 being extremely busy I'm guessing. Week 3 and week 4 will have this as one of the foods being sold:

The Minnesota State Fair is doing the food drive-thru thing too. I only live about an hour away from the MN State Fairgrounds so that is closer to me than the Wisconsin one, that's about 4+ hours way. We are thinking of going to the MN one, which towards the end of August. Looks like they are selling tickets with designated times and people are not allowed to get out of their cars (except to use a porta potty). Ordering will be done via a written menu customers hang out their car window with contactless payment. So it seems like it will be fairly safe and It can't be worse than the traffic the Fair usually generates, tickets go on sale on July 31 so I guess I will see what date and time we can get. We only go to the MN State Fair every other year and this was our year to go.
These are a few our the treats we like to get there and luckily will be available.

The Wisconsin State fair though is doing something with the cream puffs. Besides getting theme through the drive thru's, they can be bought at 3 different Festival Food locations in the state, but only for 1 day. On August 10th, they will be sale in Kenosha at Festival Foods. On August 11th, they will on sale at Festival Foods in Appleton. The Madison Festival Foods store will have them on August 12th.

That's a smart idea with the cream puffs. I remember they were the thing (must have) at the fair. I have only gone to the Wisconsin State Fair twice and both times was because my 4-H music group was performing, that was when I was about 10 years old. So many many years ago. The cream puffs were good.
