Blake

 

I feel your pain... Currently making a "camping" room for my son. I'll take pics when I'm finished

 

Mornin' All!

Busy week end up here. We had some nice weather (mostly sunny and 55-60*) so I got a lot done. Mama's car got an oil change, some new rear brakes and a detail on the inside. Mama also got a new microwave range hood installed over the new stove we bought a while back. Mama's happy..... I also fixed the garage to house door so it finally works like is is supposed to. (not bad considering it hasn't worked right since we moved in 2 years ago)

I also finished getting my truck ready for winter. Glad I waited to get the fuel heater gasket before changing the filter. Dang old filter spud came right out with the filter and dropped the heater right into my hand...... I could have sworn I was going to have to fight it apart....... I also got my tires rotated and found/repaired a loose steering coupler..... Truck is off at the shop for an alignment this AM.

I think my honey-do list is down under 6 pages now......

 

Hey Blake! Once you get good at that sheet rock thing come on up and you can help me with my little bit. I'll have all the cool weather you want on tap.......

 

Not really Claude. Last year on this date we had to cancel an appearance with the trailer because of snow. We won't take it out in crappy weather 'just because', ($50 grand worth of trailer + idiots on slippery roads = mad Scott).

The hunter that hunts our property took a nice little 6 pointer Saturday afternoon. Maybe you just need to come up here... or stop falling asleep in your stand!

Scared all the kids with fine tuned perfection before Michael took over today! It was fun while it lasted tho. Day off tomorrow then back at it Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Bob, how's the wife today?

chaikwa.

 

Heck Marc,

Get a moose hunt for me and Ill help ya whenever you want. Your sanding though. Right now the wife is sweeping up what could pass as a couple of kilos of South American Fun Dust that has permeated throughout the house and settled in every imaginable crevice.

Drywall is looking good though. Got some pics Ill post up when its all done.

 

Yeah, suuuuure you do. Just like the BBQ Pit pics!



chaikwa.

 

Now Now, Try to follow the stories... I have not been back to see the BBQ pits (I'm sure they are lonely) because I have been stuck working on the drywall. As soon as you see the drywall pics then I can get some BBQ pit pics....

No to mention I'm trying to find one of those job thingys in the meantime. Two weeks with no work and its already getting to me.
