What are you doing today?

NorthernRedneck · May 6, 2019

Today was a doozie up here. Medical appointment with a nerve specialist then we hit the dealerships checking out potential replacement vehicles. Looked at a Tahoe xl and a ford expedition. Supper was a quick mix of leftovers then off to scouts for orienteering.

Canadian eh!!!

Did an oil change on the truck, then mowed the lawn. I'm done for the day.

Opened the pool yesterday. It was 80 and sunny.

Today its 44 and raining.

I'm wearing a winter shirt and staying inside.

pirate_girl · May 7, 2019

Yeah, yesterday was gorgeous and warm.
I walked just wearing a t-shirt.
This morning it was fuzzy jacket weather.

I'm working the next 4 nights in a row.
Happy Nurses Week.

NorthernRedneck · May 7, 2019

We have a reverse of that. Yesterday was a warm jacket with a few snowflakes in the air. Today it's warm and sunny. We spent the morning waiting at court for an openness order to be signed by a judge for our adoptive daughter. Then stopped by a dealership that was searching for used SUVs for us. The search continues.

Canadian eh!!!

pirate_girl · May 8, 2019

Right now I'm ready to hit the hay.

NorthernRedneck · May 8, 2019

Another full day ahead of me. Gym. Some running around for the house and boat. Physio. Getting a load ready for the dump. We've been running like crazy.

Canadian eh!!!

The new production Supervisor is out today. I had to come early and open the plant. I'll be doing his job and mine today.

The shipper failed to pick up a hot load for our customer last night. Along with everything else, I might have to make a hot shot run to Cassville MO.

Tonight, when I finally get home, I have shingles to repair on the roof. Storm damage from the other night. I didn't see it until yesterday when I went up to prune a broken tree branch.

tiredretired · May 8, 2019

3 yards of cedar mulch. I'm pooped. No one will need to rock me to sleep tonite.

I'm beat. I hit a wall around supper and nearly collapsed in pain. Thanks to some good meds I'm pain free. But I managed to get a load ready for the dump. And I also fixed the water system in the truck camper as well as rake the front lawn. I'm paying for it now but I got stuff done

Canadian eh!!!

The Grand kids had more important things for me to do than the shingles. That project will have to wait until this weekend.

Picked up nine 80 lb bags of concrete mix at Lowes. Them suckers are heavy. Now, every time I pick up lumber, a clerk offers to help me load my truck 'cause 2x4's are heavy. I always decline. Five guys with Lowe's aprons on walked by and not one offered to help.

"Dem bags be heavy" Yep!

I used to throw 80lb bags of cement on my shoulder. It was all I could do to lift them onto a flat truck and roll that into my trailer. Thankfully I have a powered mixer at home to churn this stuff into wet cement.

NorthernRedneck · May 9, 2019

Just picked up a new rental upgrade. All they had on Monday was a Nissan versa note (aka a half a car with 3 squirrels on a treadmill) they got us into a nice Buick SUV with heated leather. Much better. I only rode in the Nissan to go exchange it.

When I pick up some Sakrete for a small project I set up a couple of sawhorses with lumber across them to set the bags on. That way I do not have to bend over all the way to the ground. That is the killer right there that will send you to the ER in no time flat.

pirate_girl · May 9, 2019

I've been busy, and tired.

45K!! Wow!! Congrats.

Worked in the flower beds today as it was a beautiful 68 degrees through filtered sunshine. A perfect day for outdoor work. Paid our semi annual property tax bill and that one always hurts, bad. :hammer:

Now rain moving in for tonite and tomorrow so indoors and baking homemade chocolate chip cookies. :thumbup:

Thank you Sir.
It's been raining here all damn day. :hammer:

We had rain all day yesterday too. It didn't slow us down. We went to look at countertops for the kitchen in the new house. I think we're going to go with quartz. We're at a standstill as far as packing goes as the enclosed trailer and garage are both full of boxes. We get the keys on the 15th. That'll be a busy day. Send the kids to school. Make two trips to the new house with both the cargo trailer and the flat deck. Go to pick up the new boat and haul it out there. Start loading it up as I'm going to be heading to the annual fish camp next weekend.

Canadian eh!!!

My problem would be getting the bags up to the saw horses. That said, I like your idea. It will make it easier to load the mixer.

I should have gotten 50 lb sacks. Getting old is a bitch!

luvs · May 11, 2019

taking a nap once i make a 'lil snack-- man, could i go 4 a keyboard that does not type 4 me, & french toast, a drizzle of syrup & turkey bacon-- i'll dial my best pal~~ he has all my components, tho, so we'll see--

pirate_girl · May 11, 2019

Thanking God my chiropractor is open today.
I've got an appointment with him.
Sciatic nerve pain is a bitch, IF that's what it is.
Been hobbling around like an old lady the last 2 days.

So I'm off work now until next Tuesday

I'll see the grandkids sometime this weekend.

FrancSevin · May 11, 2019

I had big plans for today. But a slow, dripping, cold rain has nixed most of them.
Mix and pour 9 bags of Sakrete.
Put new seat covers in the Dodge one ton.
Clean and reorganize the garage
Vacuum and shred dry leaves from the small back yard pond
Mow dad's huge backyard. The grass and weeds are knee high and wet.

The Granddaughter is having her 18th birthday today so I imagine that celebration will be the thing we do. Dinner at an expensive Japanese restaurant and then the new Peekachu movie. Ugh!

Seriously, I would rather pour concrete

pirate_girl · May 11, 2019

An adjustment and heat therapy+Aleve.
At least I'm not limping now.
Much.
I'll rest most of the day, then get Chinese takeout for dinner.
Gotta feel better for tomorrow as I'll be lovin every minute of time spent with both sons and all 3 Grandchildren.
:smile:

NorthernRedneck · May 11, 2019

I took a drive to camp last night to get the old boat and all necessary camping equipment I'll be needing for next weekend. Today was spent preparing it for sale. And packing. And more packing. And yes, more packing. We take possession of the new house Wednesday. Then I head out Friday to go fishing for the weekend before the big move.

Now I'm at the church playing guitar and singing.

Canadian eh!!!

pirate_girl · May 12, 2019

My boys treated me to a beautiful ribeye dinner.
I even got creme brulee for dessert.
Woop!

FrancSevin · May 12, 2019

Years ago I bought a Harbor Freight Concrete mixer on sale with a 3 day coupon for $139.00. Put it away for the day I would need it.

I figured it would take an hour or two to assemble. Wrong! Bag after bag of nuts and bolts all accompanied by really lousy instructions. Over four hours so far.
But it is mostly together.
I need some gasket sealer that was "not included" in the kit. 8 screws and locking nuts more and it will then be done.

I'll be mixing and pouring sometime this week.

NorthernRedneck · May 13, 2019

Dump run first thing this morning followed by a a couple of appointments with the bank and lawyers to finalize the house deal.

Afterwards I plan to make a few calls to finalize a deal on a replacement vehicle for my wife. Busy couple of weeks ahead.

Canadian eh!!!
