It's not much fun to take Cowboy out to eat anymore. Last night I suggested we go out and he didn't really care but was OK with it. I suggested a different restaurant and he said no. I asked him why. He didn't respond right away but after a bit he says "I don't know what to order". We always go to IHOP or we go to a local place nearby for catfish or we go to Applebee's for ribs. Those are his only choices and he doesn't ever want anything else. Sometimes he looks at the menu for a long time but always ending up ordering the same thing. I know he cannot read anymore and that may be a lot of it, but I can suggest things and he never wants anything different. Last night we went to Applebee's and had ribs.
I had been a bit confused about our soft water tank. The light to add was always coming on and I recently bought salt. I asked my bandmates to help me put it in yesterday and was told it was way too full already. I drag the book out and learn that it is supposed to be cleaned every three years. I call the plumber who installed it and he comes out and I find that all the settings are screwed up, it has too much salt in it and our water filtration system is unplugged. We got the system cleaned, everything all taken care of and I got a lesson in how to maintain both tanks. Have no idea how they got in this shape but I can guess that at some point Cowboy messed with it. The filtration tank was unplugged and the air compressor was plugged in. My last recollection of using the air compressor was 2 years ago, about the time things really started declining. No real harm done. I am just going to have to get smarter about all this stuff.
