Welcome to the Weekend

Well here it is the weekend and I have to work on the truck and house and make the grass shorter. I found out that my m-i-l is worried about me dying in a fiery crash. My brakes on the truck are bad and I need to change my spark plugs and wires. The wife on the other hand is not worried in the least I think that if the break lines are cut and I was to die in a fiery crash she would be 1,000,000.00 richer, but I think that you need to sign the paperwork and that the would be a heath test and I smoke cigars like a fiend (at least 2 a day {although last Friday I had a cigar and then it went though the weekend and by Monday night I was dying and could not get one until Tuesday when I got my truck back}so there went one on Tuesday skipped out on Wednesday and Thursday I finally got some money in my pocket for my cigars.)

So How is everybody? Me and the wife are doing Fine as can be expected with a money pit for a truck and house. I just sent a note to my father in germany and hope that he is fine and dandy like a mouth full of cotton candy. Talked with mom today and she said nothing is going on in her neck of the woods.

Truck

Well my truck is broken again. M-I-LC and I are doing a bad job fixing it. Need new parts and all the parts stores are either closed or have stupid people working for them. Well here it is Tuesday and I got my truck back from my mechanic. It all started about a week ago when the radiator blew out and I got a major leak. That was when I took it to my M-I-L and her companion (my mechanic) and I started to repair it and decided to get a new radiator for the truck. Well he got the new radiator and decided to put it in and striped the threads to the upper transmission fluid line. We found out that the part for the upper transmission line was longer then the piece on the radiator. So he got that repaired and then fixed it and drove to my work so I could have it for the drive home. So now I know just enough to be dangerous.

Family from Oklahoma

Well this week I found out that my Uncle Andy fom Oklahoma is coming down I have not seen him since 1984 right before I went to Germany with my father. He is coming down due to his wife's grandmother's death. While he is here I am going to go and see him. He is my father's half brother on my grandfather's side. So today is a busy day. Must do something about the roof and mow the grass. I did get the lawn tractor fixes then the drive belt fell off. Thank God that it only fell of and not broke then I would have to wait another month to fix it.The wife thinks that the roof is leaking in the bathroom to so will have to get up there and find out where it is leaking.

Sabbath

Working on the Sabbath sucks.Its supposed to be for fun and enjoyment and to praise the Lord. But you have house work, a huge yard(that the lawn tractor is broke so you have to push mow), and other little things that need doing. I was supposed to be working on the back bedroom but the wife said we are not going to do that today. So it will be all the nit picky things to do. My sister is coming over to have me fix her pants(to hem the legs). Only problem is that my magic cards are on my sewing desk. and the place for them has stuff piled on it so its back to clean house. I never remember cleaning house when I played house with the girls as a young child.

North Florida is going top be hit with a tropical depression some time in the next day or two. It looks like we have two, count them 1 2, tropical storms out in the Atlantic. Ana and Bill, which Ana will hit the bottom of the state and run up the Gulf. Bill looks like it will hit North Carolina.

Floor in the Back Bedroom

Well today F-I-L is coming over to help me fix the floor in the back bedroom. I am waiting for him to show. So thought I would get on and update my blog. Well here it is Sunday and the floor is down and screwed into place. F-I-L came over on Friday like I said, he got here at 1445 and we looked at the floor and decided that we needed more wood and we took out the staples and got everything up to where all we needed to do on sat was cut and pull up the wood. So on Saturday we took up half of the floor and laid the plywood down. So today we got the other piece out and then put down a piece of plywood. We had to take two back to get cut, when we got them back the fit just right. so now I have to fix a few holes in the drywall and change a few pieces. Then paint the floor and walls and trim. Then I can put in the trim and start calling it my craft room. That is where we will keep our craft stuff.

I went to Chris and Pete's last night to play some magic, and he was running extended while I was running constructed decks. It gave me a chance to figure out a little of my problems with the decks. I need to get some other decks built so I can have some fun with the other guys at monthly magic. I just wish I had the money to buy one of every card that I do not have. Got home from that at 0200 and got back up at 0645.

Back bedroom

Well I went though a bunch of stuff in the back bedroom today. I found an old project that i started about a year ago, and never finished. There was two sewing machines in there and one is a singer(very old small one). I filled up the living room with all the stuff I found in there.

Hello World

So how is everyone. I am doing a little better today and the wife is good. All the children are doing good. Thought I would write a little note about me today and that is all I have to say. maybe more later but for know this is it. it is 0846 in the morning. Well me and the wife went to Ikea and got some more tubs and 2 pillows. I saw some lamps that I liked but I need to fix the floor in the craft room before I can get stuff to put in there. We also got a pot with it's strainer.
