Hours past when I’m normally exhausted and ready to slide into bed… I find myself uncannily motivated! I returned home from a fairly eventless evening visiting some friends, then stopped by the bar… not really tired as I expected, but I felt driven! So… I threw on an old sweatshirt, and flipped on the garage lights, slid across that cold concrete, and started wrenching away. Within two hours, I finished bolting up the transmission, drive shaft, starter, and the miscellaneous wires. Had to double check online before dumping in the gear oil, topped it off, bolted down the shifter and seat… looked around… and decided that was enough. I have a laundry list for tomorrow… it’s supposed to be near 70! I plan to take advantage of this gracious gift of a day.

So, I’ll come back and see how I did tomorrow night…

1. Point open brick joints on west walls (lots of drafts)
2. Finish painting the hallway, install hallway light.
3. Install ceiling fan in office.
4. Haul off scrap metal.
5. Fix downspouts that were nicely removed from wind.
6. Finish Nissan (shouldn’t be more than a few bolts and a test drive)
7. Here’s the painful one… get the electric to the upstairs bathroom fixed. It’s been out for a month now. I’ve replaced all switches and outlets, tried tracing the wires umpteen times, and checked every breaker and fuse for no power on the feed lines. Which tells me it’s probably an open common… harder to find… oh how I love old houses.

Oh yeah… and I’m working on the website a bit tonight.

Cheers!

I’ve always wondered… does that word have something to do with inability to poop?

So, with my site going poof… well the backup of my site… I seemed to have lost interest in it. I need some input on a new theme, perhaps a new purpose for my site, other than my ramblings and photos.

News?

Umm… I painted my office, need to put up the crown molding and finish out the trim. Got some new ceiling fans… painted my stairs… cleaned out my garage.

And that is about a full wrap up of the past 2 months. Eventful… not even.

Loss is always eminent, always expected, always lurking in the back of our minds. We simply choose to block most of the worst case scenarios out. After a long, long day at the office… I returned home… looking about waiting to see my dog jumping up off the porch and running up to me as he does many days. I pull in the drive… not on the porch… look around the yard…. no dog. I turn about to see my neighbor trying to get my attention… asking… “did you see him?” No… can’t say I did…. and there along the road, expired… he laid.

Farewell my young friend…
