Rise and Shine!

Yup, I guess Brian Urlacher was even here to present the check. Pretty cool of the Bears Organization.

I have a couple jobs out of town today, then I'll be working on a big job (in the A/C) that has to be finished before we leave for DLN's X.

Sometime this weekend we'll have to compile that T-Shirt master list, so I can get them orderd & printed.

Morning. 67 now with 89 predicted so I am going to get everything done early today. Weekend looks to be busy too so no rest for me. We finally received some rain last night and we need a few more days of it to catch up after the long dry spell.

Hello Friday

Hi, everyone! Been missing for a few days. Jason sure is liking his new car. He's been picking me up at the bus stop and it's fun to ride in. Last night we went out to dinner, had a few drinks and then watched "Ant-Man" at the movies. Got home around 11. Fun having him here. Can't believe how fast the DLNs are coming up. See you all soon! bp

Evening group. Working all day doing some painting. Will Jason give free rides to us all????????????? Can't wait.

If we don't all get rides in the Honda, I'm guessing he will be in charge of the golf cart at the track and we'll all get rides in that! bp

Somehow that just isn't the same?????????? But I'll take it.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Just had a nice Italian dinner out and saw the latest Mission Impossible flick. It was great. bp

Morning. Off to breakfast then to Lowes for more paint and paneling for the duplex. I've spent this whole holiday cooped up in that apartment but she is almost finished. My holiday will be in DC.

Mornin'. I'll be laborin' on this labor day. I have to change out the brick molding/door jams & weatherstripping on the garage door behind the Camaro, cuz' it's got some tornado knicks & gouges (last door to get updated). That'll make us 100% ready for the siding guys to show up really hoping that's tomorrow.
I'll spend the rest of the day tearing the deck apart & starting the rebuild. It's 28 years old & has been beat up by flying debris, so it's due for a complete resto job. Hope to have it all done by the time old man winter shows up.
Once the siding guys are done, we'll have to take a break from the deck & redo the landscaping. We pulled out nearly everything the tornado left, so we'll be planting new stuff, cleaning up the lawn, filling in divits & reseeding. A friend of mine has a hydraulic lift trailer we can use and a place to dump, so we're also going to scrape a layer of gravel off the driveways to get rid of glass & debris & then put a fresh coat of C-6 down.
Then it will get cold & the cleanup can start on the inside. We're pretty much living out of boxes now shuffling things from room to room. But, when it's done, we'll appreciate having a normal life again. Seems like a lot of work (well I guess it is), but we're doing a laundry list of things unrelated to the tornado also. You know, things you intend to do someday, but someday never comes? We decided while we're in the cleanup mode, we'd just keep on going & do the honey-do list at the same time.
Time to get to work. This may be about the last day I'll have to work on the house before DLN's X. Cheryl & Jeff are workin' there regular jobs today & I can just plug away on the house at the pace of an old man. I concur with Wheelz', Holiday in DC will be a welcomed break.
