Waiting for daybreak

I'm tired already...

Jim Reed @ Tallahassee


>just listening to that list. I am just finishing up my coffee and I think I will go make some buttermilk pancakes. Then I will watch some TV. Then I will wander out into the shop, move some things around & call it a day. Whew! Makes me tired just to think about all those tasks.

Ditto Jim but may watch some PGA today

>Just a few minutes after posting the initial message I went out and turned the water on, and sure enough the was a problem. Seems I failed to glue one of the joints. No matter, dug a small channel to run off the water, dried the pipes and glued it. Backfilled the rest of the pipes, drilled into the brick and attached the bracket to hold the spigot up, turned the water on again and all was well. Coarse, this took longer than it sounds,---- about two hours. Decided then that I'd best spend a few minutes and install the proper pigtail from my A/C units quick disconnect box to the unit itself. Long story short, 5 hours later I was done and all woked well. :~). By this time it was 3:30 p.m. and buy the time I got the tools put away and tidied up a bit it was 4:30 and I was beat so I knocked off for the day. I just can't believe that the day flew by so quickly. Coarse the back side of the house faces East, so I was ib the sun all day and that really seemed to waer me down today. Ahhhhhhhhh well, tomorrow is another day, and come Hell, High Water, or the Pope himself, I'm painting the inside of that shed.

Best part of the day was that there was no ants gnawing on me today. :~) Little Bass-tards.

Watch PGA?! What's this? I think I'd rather be hung up by my thumbs and beat with a Willow switch than to watch golf. Hope you guys enjoyed it tho.

>Don't even try it Scott, I'm beat! According to local weather-guesser it was definately suppose to rain this afternoon, so I got an early start on it today and painted the inside of my shed. Had to take everything out, paint, put everything back in. While I was at it I installed some pegs to hang the weed wacker, leaf blower, and hedge trimmer in. Sure will be a treat not to trip over them anymore, or have them fall over everytime I move something. Was all cleaned up from that job by 10:45. Decided to do some more caulking. I caulked the line where the T-1-11 on the ends of my house meets the brick on both the East and West ends. Plus I found a bunch of holes in the brick where the bugs where going in and out from. Yup, I'm a caulking fool to be sure. Get to close to me and I'll caulk you too!

Decided to take down the old dish cable from the previous owners that ran around my house, and am glad it's gone.

Took a break, than decided to lay down the vapor barrier and faom under my plywood on the shop floor. Coarse, I had to do it the hardest way possible. Move everything from the left side of the shop to the right side, lift the plywood, lay the V/B and foam, install plywood, replace everything, move all the stuff from the right side to the left side and do it all again. What I should of done was move everything out of the shop. Would of been easier and faster, but I was thinking it might finally rain. All I have to do now is put the V/B under the bench. Quit at 9.p.m.

Never did rain.

Tomorrow: Chop up a bunch of small cherry limbs that I dragged home from the neighbors. Looking forward to using my hatchet again. :~) After that, maybe I'll move that bench. :~(

Who has no time for eatch golf. Golf, ha! golf, I'd rather be boiled in oil, stacked down to an ant bed..................... ;~)
