Wow - - is it Friday all ready? Can't believe this week is almost over - - definitely did not make much of a dent in my To Do list - - too much wasted time trying to overcome mistakes by dummies. GGGRRRR.................... Oh well, Monday is a new week - - at least I think it is. IS IT????

Well, so much for that idea. ......

OK, off to lunch and hope the phone rings with some answers this afternoon - - it is getting rediculous. Think I will pack up the fiver and disappear for 6 months - - maybe things will be different when I get back. Ya think??? As the Aflac goat would say - - - "NAW - - NAW - - NAW"

See ya,

FrustratedBob

Happy Canada Day? Ok, Happy Canada Day! I hear Kate and William are visiting. Yall be good and don't riot. That means, walk on the sidewalks and keep your shirts on.


Ohh look, this is me "getting some work done" today...



I uh, did a quick sweep through CL over coffee and I ran across a tool box for $75. Then texted the guy, then went out there, then bought it... Been needing one. This is in pretty good shape for used. It has working locks (with keys!), working struts, not dented, or rusted, or beat to heck. Sure beats paying $250+ for a new one.

Just got to decide how I'd like it mounted. The PO of my truck put some nasty holes from his toolbox on the rails that I had touched up when the LineX went on. So I have to work around those soft spots.

Oh man, you have no idea. The stuff is just scooted over to the other side. I've been midway through my garage reorganization for like a month now I'm stalled on painting the walls because I'm tired of scraping and prepping a few troublesome spots.

I need to get it done. I need my garage back! I need a barn raising too. Well, not a barn, just a shed. Trying to clear it out of yard stuff. The plan is DHs half cleared out so he can park his car. My half all setup with my work benches and stuff. Been in the house a month over two years.

It's the truth......i promice

even if you don't put a concrete floor in all of it you can still put the yard
equipment and long time projects in the gravel part.

that works well cause the leaky stuff don't make a mess in the nice new floor.

I have a 2 car garage and two out buildings full of stuff, building a 40x50x14 with a lift in it next spring so I can fill it up as well

Then I guess I sell everything, buy some land and start over again

Will keep that in mind - it's never big enough. I wish I could put up a barn but where we are, we just don't have room. Only on 1/3 ac. lot that isn't laid out well. But a barn is in the future on the right piece of land. I can't wait!

Well hold on a sec, maybe we can help him out. Lary we'll need alist of inventory. Post it up here so the breakroom can call dibs on the things they want. Once that's done you'll package and ship everything to the new owner.

Shh, no need to say anything. We know. You're welcome

Afternooner all,

Up early took the glad grad to work. Picked up much older and wiser sister and went to Hobby airport to pick up 2 nieces. They came in on different flights together. Sister still don't like to do the airport pickup thing. Health challenges.

Not bragging or anything but we can get the PT into 1/2 of the garage.
Most of us Americans will fill a garage with junk and park $50,000 or so of vehicles in the driveway.

Ham, Lima beans, and corn bread for supper.

Time to pick up the worker.

Have a good un and be safe out there.
