greatbearBeen busier than a one-armed paper hanger lately. Lucky for me, the back trouble was apparently just a slight strain. By Friday I no longer needed any painkillers to be comfortable. Took Kodi for his third installment of Puppy School in the evening. He does pretty well I guess, and gets his excitement quotient to boot. If he would only do as well with his homework as he does in school.
Saturday rolled around and I spent it all day in the garage working on Jeff's truck and a couple side jobs. The truck needed work on the transfer case, new door hingepins and intake manifold gaskets. The gaskets took the longest, and had me bent over under the hood for several hours. If my back had healed, I sure put it through qualification tests soon enough. It passed.
Sunday I decided to do something different, so I climbed into my truck and went shopping in the snowstorm. A typical shopping trip for me, the auto parts store, Wal-Mart (ugh, during a lapse in judgement since it's next to the parts store), McDonalds for lunch and an extended wandering around Home Depot. I have a 10% discount card expiring at the end of the month that I should use on getting a new washer/dryer. My current washer is fairly new, but the dryer has been patched up more than a farmer's pickup truck to keep it going, and it's about to fall apart soon. I wont know how to act with a matching washer and dryer for the first time in my life.
Came home and cleared all the driveways and walkways of the winter mess so it would not end up like the concrete-like mess of the previous week that I took a couple spills in and impossible to remove without Ma Nature's help in melting it away.
Jeff has been under the weather this weekend and needed to work on Sunday. He took time off today to get some rest, but I think Kodi had other ideas.
This is shaping up to be a busy week. On Friday, Jeff and I are going to head to Pittsburgh for a conference he has to attend. While he does his chef and dietician duties, I will try to stay out of trouble. I could use the time off to do something different.
I've had lots of posts to make, but really not feeling it lately. Dunno what's up with that. I'm content with reading when I can for now. I'm also way behind in replies.
