Taking two of the kids for eye appointments soon. Then absolutely sfa until this evening when we are taking the girls to a country Christian concert. I'll spend most of the day shopping/researching boats trying to keep my mind off this Friday. That's when I have arbitration/mediation to hopefully finally come to a settlement for my accident.

Canadian eh!!!

Good luck with the settlement and enjoy the day with the kids today.

Later today the lovely Mrs_Bob returns home after spending 2 weeks visiting her brother & sister sort through their family belonging that have been in storage for the past decade since the death of their parents.

Everything was in a small warehouse in Albuquerque. There is now a pick up truck heading back home. Apparently it is FULL of stuff that has sentimental value.

House is mostly put back together after a week of bachelor living. I'll dust and do a few other minor clean ups before they arrive late afternoon or early evening.

-----

Sunday I took Dasha to the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago.

-----

Monday I arrived at the high school just after school ended. I was sitting in the parking lot by the door, with the top of the convertible down, enjoying the sunshine. One of the security guards came up to me and told me to come inside quickly.:hammer: There had been a shooting moments earlier, about 1 mile away, at the DMV. The school was going on LOCKDOWN and I was getting locked inside with the kids.

Probably 5 minutes later the lockdown was over. The local police had secured the situation at the DMV. No doubt some unhappy customer was trying to get his/her driver's license reinstated and didn't want to wait in a long line???

I chatted with some of the kids I knew and headed back out to the car. A few moments later Dasha and her friend Joy came out of the school. They were locked down in a different area of the school. I drove the girls to the beauty salon for haircuts and then later returned them to the school.
When we lived in Chicago I loved going to that museum. That and their museum of natural history were our favorite tourist stops when company came to town.

Best of luck all the same.

Paid a visit to Burlington Hyundai dealer for three hours today, with the wife's Sonata, getting a recall and two TSB's taken care of. Asked them to do a state vehicle inspection and they did it for no charge.

I kept their Kuerig machine working and ate three of their donuts too, then walked about a 1/2 mile to 5 guys for a Bacon double cheese burger and fries with a chocolate shake. Damn it was awesome. :yum:

Thanks. Last week I was getting down about everything as this dictates our future. After a talk with our lawyer last Friday I'm feeling better about things. Let's just say we'll be set for life and have started shopping for a bigger house. It'll be a very long day Friday but if all goes according to plan we'll be able to celebrate. My wife still plans on working but the nice thing about her job is she can take big chunks of time off and still have her job. So we'll be able to enjoy life before we get too old and crippled up.

All things considered, I'm not just rolling over and giving up. I hurt daily. Some days I can walk almost normally. Other days I'm using two arm crutches because I can barely feel my legs. On bad days, I just stay home. I have adapted my schedule to be flexible to allow for those days. I make the best with what I have.

Canadian eh!!!

We are re-painting the production room floors this week That means every machine has to be disconnected and moved. We have seven lines now and that is a lot of work.

The floor prep is the worst as some of the paint in high traffic areas has loosened from the concrete. So hand scrapers at work all day. There is about 4,000 square feet of production room floor to paint. We are doing it in big sections so that we can paint an area and move the machinery back in a few days.

The paint is oil based and the smell has everyone annoyed.

But production must continue as our customers keep ordering work to be done. After 8 long years of begging for work and just hanging on, I'm not complaining. My arms and shoulders are but, two bottles of Lismore' Single malt should get me through. And no, that is not paint thinner.:yum:

Only two? :bolt:
:th_lmao:

I've been playing chemist. Mixing paint, cleaners and stripping compounds. All whilst converting alcohol to urine since the project was first envisioned by the boss. Last week and this saw one bottle of John Barr and one bottle of J&B get processed down the drain. The Lismore' was on sale last nite. I grabbed two because that is all that was there.

BTW the boss paid for it, bless her heart.

Getting the kids all sorted out for school and figuring out where they are all going this evening/weekend. Having 6 kids takes a little planning. Two are coming with me to a scout camp. One is going for a visit with his bio dad. Two are going to help at a pancake breakfast on Sunday.

Today is d day for us. 4 years of medical appointments traveling to Toronto for specialists lawyers appointments etc all to come down do a round of negotiations back and forth between lawyers talking some BIG numbers that will determine the rest of our lives. I was able to sleep last night.

Canadian eh!!!

The day started off blah, both me and the weather lol
Now the sun's shining so I'll get my cross town walk in.
That always brightens things up, getting the blood pumping.
Nothing outstanding otherwise.
Tomorrow I'll go out of town to spend with the wee ones until Sunday evening possibly.

Hopefully, we get most of the main floor painted today. However, the old paint is coming up in big flakes. 32 feet X 24 feet and all of it looking pretty bad.
we've been on our hands and knees all day and it looks like we'll be done scraping today. I'll come in on Saturday and lay down the new finish.

Saturday afternoon is services for Dave, our plant manager who died suddenly last week. His ashes will be spread on a local lake he favored for fishing.

Take care luvs.

Canadian eh!!!

What he said.

Well, I had a good time with my babies.
Worn out, but in a good way.
It's rainy and blahh out there.
Passed a wreck leaving Defi and wonder if sonny boy was chasing it.
Things are good there except for his new lady friend.
That's all I'm going to say about that.

Very quiet birthday today. I like it like that. I was able to take my boat shopping up a notch and make a couple contacts on prospective suitable candidates. The lovely missus and I ate out at a small diner for supper. It was yummy. We also upped the anti on house hunting as this one is just too small. We're going this week to check out a 2800 square foot home with nice sized garage that has a loft second floor sitting on 6ish acres only 15 minutes from the city. We aren't getting too excited until we see it.

Canadian eh!!!

Going to look at a house this afternoon. Let the fun begin. Trying not to get our hope up until we see it. 2800 square feet. Big garage with a loft upstairs. 6 acres. 15 minutes from the city which isn't all that bad considering it takes 15 minutes to drive from one side of the city to the other.

Canadian eh!!!

Finishing the tax filing today.

Accountant has EVERYTHING and said it would all be done before lunchtime. This is the latest I've ever filed. Total CLUSTER#### this year. But looks likes its done.

I will be doing some chores around the house today. This evening I'm picking up Dasha at her dorm and bringing her here to spend the night. Tomorrow morning we leave early with her to drive to Notre Dame University for a visit.

Very nice. I prefer quiet birthdays too

Good luck with the house shopping.

We are shopping for another 'flip' house. Market in the area we like to invest is really a HOT market now and people keep outbidding us, but they are people looking to buy and move in. Investors/flippers tend to bid lower, long term buyers tend to bid higher. Our search continues.

Oh Brian!
That is gorgeous!
:thumbup:

I was up messing with the laptop fairly late last night.

I did a complete system recovery, not a restore.

Once I checked for Windows 10 update after the recovery,that took 2 hrs, it didn't take!

So I tried just searching the updates for everything on it, that started with 8 updates, after hours it said they failed. Wtf?

I mean it works to get online, but I have to figure how to update it.

Also, I tried to get Firefox as my browser. Nope.

So I have Windows Edge.

Very nice looking house. Kudos. :thumbup: I hope it all works out for you.
