Pluggers by Rick McKee for May 03, 2023

There’s a method to being a plugger!

And if you’re doing plumbing, back to the hardware store a couple of times later in the day.

My triangle is Haircut, Library, and Safeway.

Daily cartoon calendar tear-off sheets are just the right size for those to-do lists.

To do or not to do. That is the question.

route planning is crucial. We live with the fencing of a Joint Base to our immediate west so shopping becomes …Go north do the necessary appointments/shopping in that area; Swing East and hit the stores and doctors in that area, Bend south and do what is needed there, then return northward to home!

Does not matter what you are doing never hurts to think ahead ;-)

Pluggers leave their lists behind on the kitchen counter.

I make a list of errands. Then I number them according to he most sensible route based on traffic pattern and fuel conservation!

“Then then…”??

For a Plugger, going to the Hardware store is always on travel route, whether you need something or not. Especially if they have the popcorn machine back up and going after the pandemic.

I like going to Canadian Tire and browsing. I haven’t done that for a while.

I usually plan my trips to make the most efficient use of my time. Should I get gas first or last? Am I picking up meds that need to be refrigerated? Are any of the groceries frozen? What are the temps outside? How long will each stop take?

I have a lot of ‘But firsts’. I need to mow the lawn, but first I need to get the mower blade sharpened, but first I need to find my sharpening stone, but first… It’s why I never get around to some things…

“Continued on next list”

My biggest problem when I make a list is, remembering to look at it “BEFORE” I leave a Hardware or Grocery Store …. :)

so much to do, so little tim

Oh dang, I think I’ve done this.

LOL.. like the ‘How To Wiki’ website ;-)
