Talked to Doris at 10:40 AM: The hot weather is affecting her asthma especially when she goes outside. Some of the plants are drying up, I told her they probably need watering or need to be harvested. Quang recommended that the brakes of the SUV should be checked as it is not functioning as it should be, I told Doris to have someone take it down to My Friends Auto on McDonald’s Drive and 40th Avenue, across from the Citibank, I have the contact in my iPhone. The GMC needs a smog check before registration, I told her to get Chris to take it to a smog shop on San Pablo Avenue to get slogged, She should look in the glove compartment to see where I took the GMC for smog last year.
Ryan gave me a drinking bottle. Back to Inside-Out Class from 11:30 AM – 3:30 PM. 3:30 PM head count. Dinner after the count.
