Projects

Well I finished that one project and started on another 3. finished 2 and now trying to do this one that I call a scarf hat. I decided to not make the scarf hat and make a cowl instead.That's what is on the circular needles. The two square looking things are booties that my mom likes. I have to sew them up then they are done. I have never made a cowl before, so it will be fun. Thursday will be my quit day for smoking. I will be getting some of that smokers gum and some patches. So this time I hope it will work. but the cowl is worked on circular needles in the round. Knit all the way for 30 inches. I found some more projects as I went looking for my dad's scarf. I am not very far along in it and need to get it done soon.

This is the beginning of my dad's scarf which says #1 Weis Dad. I spelled it like his last name and is pronounced like wise. I have no idea where my real father is and have no idea what he is up to since he has not written in a while I sure do hope that he is OK. His mom would love a afghan from me (which I might get the chance to work on after the holidays). I wonder if my dad would like an afghan. I found another afghan in my bins of yarn and decided to make that one for this friend that has a house that no one has seen yet. I wonder when he is going to host the next magic the gathering party. He says that the house is so small that the mice have a hard time turning around.

On this day of Veterans I would love to take the time to say that we are thankful for those that have gone before us and that those that have worked side by side with us and those that we will never get to meet. Thank God for our Armed Forces.

Bad days

I am having one of those days. I just wish that I could be a normal person then I would not have gotten out of the military. The truck is running alright the check engine light went out last night, and now I am worried. A friend of mine said that when he gets Internet then I could come over and play x-box sounds fun but I think that he would love to play one of those shooter games. I just can not wrap my mind around them and will be no good with it. My favorite game are like mind games. You know like Magic the Gathering.

Happy Halloween !!

Its drunk night for all you freaky people so have fun. So me and the wife are watching Revenge of the Cat People. Watching the cats fight. Need to feed the cats and rabbit. Do not want to. The movie is good. It is better then those that came out in the 1980's.

The Brakes

Well on Saturday me and my mechanic changed the brakes on the truck. We had all the tires off and did not rotate them. The passenger side rear tire had a blown brake cylinder. So we changed that will the front brakes. My mechanic said that we will need to change the back brakes the next time we change the front ones. Then me and wifey went to the Salvation Army and got a new couch and love seat, with a new project for me. Then on Sunday I worked on the back room.

I muded the walls with some Spackle then helped the wifey with the house hold chores. It was mostly clean. I really need to get the grass made shorter.

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.
