You too! I'm definitely feeling it the past few days. I was at the church for 7 hours yesterday between setting up upstairs and playing the evening service to working the fish fry.

We had the usual packed house of 2fers. You know....the ones who only go at Christmas and Easter and don't go to church any other time. It was a good service though. We make a big deal out of Easter with a quartet of horns accompanying the organ along with a choir double the size of what we normally have. My lovely wife crocheyed 50 small crosses a few weeks back to give to all the kids attending. Our service was streamed live on Facebook for people all over the world.

After the service a well deserved nap was in order. About mid afternoon, I decided that I wanted the flatdeck trailer in town so I took a drive to camp to get it. Most of the snow is now melted but the ground is still very wet out there.

Canadian eh!!!

I'm going to be hurting tomorrow but I managed to get something done. Since we moved in here 6 years ago, I've been wanting to replace the stairs to the back deck that back out onto the driveway. My accident kinda got in the way of that. But I finally tore out the stairs and replaced them. They never sat right. Whoever built them originally left a 2 inch gap between the risers and the driveway. I had them blocked up to support them but that added an extra 2 inches to the bottom step.

So, after a trip to lowes for some wood, I got to work. Here's the before and after.

I've been busy cleaning and cooking, then took a walk down to the park and back.
It's beautiful outside.
Now I'm ready to tackle the coming week at work.
I'll leave my deck of cards at home.

I was at a customer yesterday who hires handicapped as their business model. They have a Thrift store I always checkout. Bought a Kensington 15 speed bike for $25.00.

Other than a small barely noticeable crack in the seat, perfect condition. I haven't been on a bike for decades. It's true, one never forgets how.

So my Grandson and I went bike riding last night for about three hours.

Today, every muscle in my body is complaining. Whilst I do remember how to ride, I don't remember that part.

I got some good deep sleep.
Was going to accompany the crowd on an outing this afternoon, but they didn't need me.
Here's my man!
4 months ago he could barely do anything.
Rehab works!

1 - totally failed in my attempt to fix our little Yamaha side-by-side. Replaced the battery. Messed with everything I could reach without getting my knuckles bloodier than necessary. No horn. No power to the starter. No lights. But the back up alarm sounds. Batter is 100% on the tester. Only bloodied 2 of my fingers.


2 - went to look at another flip house. Way too far gone for me to mess with it. Looks like its ready to tumble now. We bought one a couple days ago too.


3 - fencing club tonight for an hour or two

Just got home from the house inspection. A few minor problems in the house but no deal breaker. The biggest issue was the well. It's a drilled well 220 ft deep. The return pressure wasn't what it needed to be. Could be because it hasn't been used in 7 months. The owner was there and already had a call in to a drilling company. Hopefully they'll be able to fix it.

My first hubby and I were home searching after he was discharged from the Navy.
Through a VA loan.
They were very picky.
The home was in the country and the well was shared with the people next to it.
They didn't like that, nor the fact that the downstairs half bath was adjacent to the kitchen.
Good thing we never got that house, as the one we ended up getting was perfect for raising our sons near the schools etc.

First time I stopped longer than 5 minutes today. Went to the gym. Picked up some lag bolts for the steps I built the other day. I had them fastened to the deck with screws as that's what I had. So I returned home and immediately went to work swapping out 28 screws with 28 lag bolts. I got halfway done then headed to physio. After physio she who must be obeyed and I headed out furniture shopping for the new house. We haven't bought anything yet. Just getting ideas

42 degrees and raining ice pellets. :hammer: Yesterday was 66 degrees and sunny.

I ran errands today, including grocery shopping. I hit up my favorite Italian specialty shop and will have some cheese and spinach stuffed ravioli for dinner tonite. :thumbup:

We did applebees on Wednesday. Good deal. Kids under 12 eat for $4. Not often we get out as a family for a meal as there's 8 of us. So half ate for $16 total.

Then they thought we were going someplace to get toys.
I said no no no.

So far I went to the store for some sealant then crawled up on the roof of the truck camper and resealed the middle joining seam. I also reinforced the roof to prevent flexing which always caused to sealant to crack and leak. I only use it once a year to head up fishing the third weekend in may. I'm still going this year despite a moving date the following weekend.

Slept in today. Don't know why just did.

It's raining so outside work is postponed. But I have a ton of honey do's on the inside.

Sun just peeked out at 2:00 so maybe I'll tackle what is left of the old fence. Can I get Cathy Gifford to come by and help?:unsure:

She who must be obeyed dragged me out to the store to check out a few sale items. I walked out with a new 20 gallon air compressor and a 21ft extension ladder. My reasoning was that a bigger garage would require a bigger air compressor.

Went to our Godson's house to help out his parents with a remodeling project. They took us out to breakfast afterwards.

They also got a new puppy.

It has razor sharp teeth.

It bit me. A lot.


Oh, and FWIW, these photos were uploaded from my computer and were properly oriented when I uploaded them to the FF website. I don't know why 2 of them are tipped on their side.

Last nite's wind storm brought down a lot of branches. My river Maple never has a problem but this morning we had a limb 25 ft long and about 6.0 to 8.0 " in diameter dropped between the houses.

Luckily there was no structural damage. Just tore up the Oak Leaf Hydrangeas

not much happening here

I got dressed, that is a bonus.

It's pouring down rain. Not working outside. Paid a few bills.

Late this afternoon I'll pick up Dasha and help her work on some letters to some college fencing coaches. Then we will both go to the fencing club. Beginner lessons & equipment repairs.
