Man what a week! I hope all of you had it easier than I did. Monday weather was great and Tuesday I poured the concrete. Picked up my older one from school and he said another kid that was punching & pushing him around was not stopping even after the Dean had a talk with him. I told him that there is people like that and that he has to stand up for himself and he said he will get suspended and I would have to see the Dean. I told him I have his back as long as it is self defense. Sure enough on Wednesday morning I get a call from the Dean that the kid that has been picking on my son has a broken nose. I pick him up my son and he has a fractured hand. WOW! His first fight and he landed a doozie! Thursday I get up to the wife telling me there is smoke up on the roof (that will get you out of bed fast!) . The water heater blew and my son had an apointment with the Dr. Lucky for a good friend of mine being around to help out and we changed the water heater, took my son to the Dr. then X-rays and Monday orthopedic Dr. They called me from the dealership that my 5th wheel prep package is in but I have to wait til Monday to take the truck in because I am playing ambulance driver and emergency plummer.
Here is before and after pictures of the water heater. Good thing it didn't flood the house.




Here is before:







Here is after:

Tomorrow I will pull out the forms and next week we are going to look for a 5th wheel trailer.

That's a nice to do list Gerry!

Roy, did you ever hear of anything like this before? Really sad.

Also got a guy coming out to trade my mountain sled (800 vertical escape) for his 550 fan cooled trail sled. I will take a huge bath on the trade but will end up with a more useful sled for the family. It's all good.

Have fun
