Catching up on mowing and weedeating. The front down by the road doesn't look like we own an abandoned property anymore.

Sunday it was real windy at the beach so everyone sleep in, except me. While they were sleeping I downloaded some music to my Ipad. When we got in the Hummer to come home I played it. The first started out as ding ding, caution the doors are closing and welcome to the Walt Disney World monorail system. My wife said oh my god are you kidding me? Then I played a loop of the main street music. She thinks I am insane.

She knows I am but she lives with it.
That's a good deal for that much wood.

I got little man some Mickey Mouse croc's from the outlet store at Pier Park and he loves them. I also added 2 more magnets to the vacation magnet collection on the refrigerator.

TGIF !!
What a week and I ended it with a bang. I was mounting a blade on a new bulldozer. I had one of the tilt cylinders chained down to the frame so I could install the other side/ normal way to do it. I had it chained too far away from the machine and ended up bending the cylinder, I mean really bending it bad. I had to tell my boss, don't think they will fire me but I hate looking like an idiot. I have done probibly 10 machines with no problems.

Most of tomorrow is shot having to take the mother in-law to the airport so she can go visit one of her other daughters.

Put that in the stuff happens column.

I only go to the airport if it is absolutely the only way.
