Got the ceiling fan up for them last night. I think we are moving a dresser and a coffee table this weekend but the weather does not look like it will cooperate. This is the Saturday I am supposed to work, if I do with the rain it will be slow.

We bought them a chair and the coffee table is in the man room downstairs and not being used. The washer a neighbor gave them. We will end up buying them a dryer, keeps her from coming to our house to wash clothes!!
Started trying to get someone out to replace the storm drain under the driveway, anything more than an inch or two of rain and I am afraid the road will fall in around it very soon.

They dryer makes sense. Is you culvert or theirs? Thought you replaced your a couple of years ago. Call the county. At the land once the culvert is in the county will replace it

Yay it's Friday !!!
I will be glad when my tractor mech comes back to work on Monday. Survived him being gone on vacation but I sure worked my butt off.
The pipe is on my property so I am pretty sure the county won't mess with it. I did work on it to keep from washing out around it but the bottom is rusting out and replacement is the only option now.

Boredom is never a problem around here. I think I am bout ready to start. Buying stuff for the 250. It looks like going old school 4 speed will be the cheapest

At least you are not in retail where you have schedule people for next week basied on last weeks sales and if you need more coverage but dont have the hours then you cover.

I going to ortho Dr Monday about my hand almost 3 weeks and the long finger knuckle still hurts and has some swelling.

I like the new excursion! I thought about getting one when the Suburban needs to be replaced. Boredom is one thing I don't have around here either. Used my new to me lawn tractor again last night and I love that thing, I cut around the house and down by the road so fast it's amazing.

Most of the time I need a vacation after my vacation!!
Since it was rainy this weekend I knocked out some honey do's and inside the house stuff. Put up one of those curved shower rods in the bathroom and we bought some new bar stools. For some reason in the master bath they used a toilet flange with a metal edge, I had to cut it out and install a new all pvc one. Still want to paint the kitchen baseboards and it's time to pressure wash the outside of the house.
