It’s a dye and it indicates fuel that wasn’t taxed for highway use. TPTB don’t want you driving your truck without paying your fair share for road upkeep, so if somehow you’re caught using untaxed fuel, you’s in _biiiiiig trubble_!! It’s always about money, isn’t it? 😉

I bought a bench/shoe rack that sits at the end of our bed, and Higgs will use that (on the rare occasions when she gets in our room.)

And to the present:

I keep reminding **FCD** that we need to get our mower to Amish Dave to be serviced before the season starts. We’re getting close due to all the warmth… And I won’t talk about my garden beds. ugh.

Looks like the day is starting relatively clear, but rain is promised this evening. Roofing guy is due this morning - hope his estimate isn’t too awful. I’m terrified of **FCD** climbing up there.

Speaking of whom - he goes to his grief counseling session today. On the way to his mom’s yesterday (to drop off some meds we picked up for her) we found the Hospice facility where he has to go. Good thing we drove there - he’d have probably gotten lost. Anyway, as long as he doesn’t drive past the turnoff, he’ll be good - once off the main road, it’s almost impossible _not_ to find the place. I hope they can help him.

And when he’s done, we’ll head back to the boat to see how it fared overnight - specifically fuel leakage. And that’s all I’m going to say about that, lest I bore one and all with our nautical tales of woe. You’re welcome. 😁

I did launder the diesel-splashed clothes last night, and the whole load still carried the smell. So I spread all the jeans and shirts around the basement to air overnight - I need to check them. If it’s bad, I’ll rewash. Wish I could hang them out but with rain threatening, I dare not.

So, yeah, another exciting day at FairyChatEstates. I’ll probably push the vacuum around too - be still my over-taxed heart!!

Happy Moanday!!
