Life in the fast lane!

We worked right through the weekend and I didn’t even realize it was Tuesday!

My first thought is to slow down a bit but I really want to cut this so called five year plan, well four now, down to just a couple of years.

That and I am looking at something real special this weekend, I don’t know if I should tell. Superstitious people would say you will ruin it.

Oh well, my second thought is I really hope the 39 foot sailboat we look at on this Saturday is worth it. If it is and we get it this so called four year plan can be trimmed.

I guess I shouldn’t say too much so tune in next week and see what the outcome is!

Have a great week

Funny of the day

What a day! I had to get up early to drop off some paperwork at the court house. Going to the court house is never fun. I especially hate the emptying of my pockets and going through the metal detectors.  When ever I have to go I only carry my drivers license so I don’t get stopped at the metal detector.

So as I head on in I’m checking my pockets just to make sure I don’t have anything in them and I get to the door with a back pocket full of wrenches.

My first thought is what the heck I’ll just go through! Then I decided not to, so back to the truck I went!

It was a long day, worked until seven… Tiered, hungry, the thought of a stiff drink after the blizzard conditions drive home.

Yea three inches of slush and dumb-ass drivers.

Well my second thought was I wonder if the liquor store is open. Around here when anyone hears the word “snow”, everyone goes home.

Have a great week

Attitude

Since I’ve had to take over driving, I can’t believe how bad the skills and attitude of drivers out here on the road. I’m actually kind of tired of it.

The other day, riding home tired, the light turns green and I’m so tired that I’m slower at punching the gas. That turned out to be a good thing because if I had punched the gas on green I would have slammed into the little blonde girl who decided to run the red and make a turn right in front of us. I never even saw her coming.

Then there’s the guy in the big giant fancy jacked up truck riding my bumper so close I could roll down my window and flick a booger at him. He whipped around and raced me to the stop light, cutting me off to get on car length ahead.

My first thought: When people get in there car do they check their common sense and patience at the door?

Then the other day we has another guy in a truck, all jacked up again, we’ll call him Mister Badass. (Remember the accident, Old Blue is out of commission and we’re driving a Chevy) so, Mister Badass decided to pass us on the right… He was on the side of the road.

My second thought: I probably should have behaved myself a little better. My 1990 Chevy 350 4×4 with 410 possi rear isn’t all jacked up, she’s multi-colored, and looks a bit old. So when he. So when he is door to door, I punched it and flipped him off. This old truck roared to life and left him in the dust. As childish as it might be, it felt good anyway.

But really how does anyone expect you to have a good attitude when the roads are full of morons?!?

Farm New post

Spring Peepers

Finally the spring peepers are are singing in the back of the farm near the creek!
As I watch the sun come up over the farm it sounds like a Chorus 🙂
It’s going to be almost 70 degrees today. My first thought is finally we get to go outside without gearing up to stay warm!
My girls ( the chickens )are happy too they get to run around in the warm sun. I really think I saw one smiling as she squawked at me!

It won’t be long and we will be planting here on the farm, Come on spring!

My second thought is we have been home almost 1 year that means 4 more years and our five year plan is over.
Yes we are staying home selling the smaller boat, getting a bigger one fixing it up like we want and then we set sail into the sunset.
Funny thing when we talked about it a year ago it seemed like a lifetime away but already a year has past, man time flys by.

So it’s off to the new remodel job, since we are still on light duty we had a demo guy come in and rip out the walls and old, really old tile bath. The rest should be a breeze.

Have a great Tuesday

Two thoughts on life

So the hectic life is over lol. We finally finish the big house we have been on this week with some touch ups!
The best part of this week is we started a new remodel. My first thought is” oh heck is it going to be a mess?”  We never really know until we get there. The house is supposed to be cleaned out and ready but the trash guy… well he never really finishes.
We met with the big boss to go over everything, I said ” wow it’s still has stuff everywhere!”
He asked if I wanted anything, just take it. Immediately I said I want the drafting table, omg it’s sweet!

So I was prepping the kitchen walls with Oil-based Kilz, whoever lived there was a real smoker…. whew!

As the day went on I’m still on light duty due to the great crash we had. Got the MRI’s back they sucked I would have rather not known to be honest.

So as he day went by I was told if I see anything in the garage I want take it, the trash guy has been here already.
I was poking around being the tinkerer I am I found wire for my solar and windmills, stuff for the boat, capacitors, resisters…  The man had some similar interests as me, then I saw a stairway in the garge leading to the attic. Hmmmm “should I go for it?” I asked myself.

It doesn’t look to safe, so I went up anyway.

Now to some it might not be much but in the attic was an original Tempo One single sideband transciever with everything it needed to set up and work. Complete with a Turner plus 3 microphone and a back up microphone in the box new!

Being a Ham operator this was like hitting the jackpot!

I don’t have a spot picked out yet to hook it up but I can’t wait.

My second thought was what happened to his family or a close friend? There were so many good items that most went to the trash.  It makes me wonder was he just forgotten or did the family just think he had a bunch of junk and let it go.  As with the rest of the houses we do we will never know, but I do wonder.

Have a great Tuesday

A Nice Trip

So my number one son has gone home to a bit of a mess, to say the least! He came back home to the Eastern Shore from TEnnessee to remodel his inlaws…( Now lol that’s a real blog post but it won’t ever get published!?!?)

Anyway! He and his lovely wife picked up, moved to Tennessee from here with no job lined up , I gave him one of the enclosed work trailers and helped him move. As any father would be, I was proud to see him strike out on his own in the world but sad to see him go. I had hoped that all I taught him working together for years would pay off.

They have been there 18 months. In that time they are self employed. His wife runs a cleaning company, He is contracting. They saved up for a starter home and were short a few bucks on the down payment so my son gave the man his nice 30.06 rifle and bought a house on six acres with a little creek that runs through the property, a fixer upper but not bad. He already installed a new kitchen, cleaned up the barn, repaired the broken windows, fixed it up etc…

They are a great young couple making it and all on their own and in this economy.

Well they got home the (friend) that was to watch the house well he did more damage then good ( that’s even another blog post geeez)

Now to top it off, well after coming home to the frozen pipes- it did snow while they were gone, the owner finance guy, after giving him a warranty deed for the property and a payment schedule came to them and told them he has a ballon payment on the mortgage he has on the property due in March. Nice huh? he said he didn’t know about it and doesn’t have the money.

He said he would hate to lose the property and is bringing them the notice from his mortgage lender. (Like he didn’t know that a balloon payment was coming due, the man is fifty for Christ sake. As grams used to say, “Jesus Wept!” )

The guy gave them a warranty deed, and the tax payment that is due.

My first thought, crap I really can’t publish it!

My second thought is why does this have to happen to good young couples that try to do everything right to the best of their ability.
Just to get ripped? This world is just full of people like this waiting for them.

As my son said it will work out it always does, wonder where he got that attitude?

On a lighter note, yea I’m done ranting, have you seen the new Wolverine movie it was great.

Have a great Tuesday

Two thoughts for Tuesday

It’s a crazy wonderful life, it seems as though there is so much going on too.
Tomorrow should be our last day on the 4000 sq ft house until the punch list.

My first thought is it will be nice to get back to some kind of normalcy, the daily routine where nothing gets in the way of what I want to do. I hate it when life gets in the way!
This house has taken way to long and eaten up a lot of time I’m so ready to be finished and start something new.

So it was off to the doctor again today this is getting to be too much. I’m ready for the whole accident and banged up crap to be over with. But no, since it has been so long it’s off to an Orthopedist for another opinion! Yes two doctors opinion is not enough to come to the conclusion that we were banged up and the crap is going to hurt for a while.

My second thought is why oh why did we ever stay home for the winter!?
Seriously it has been so cold I made a blanket fort with the electric heating blanket and refused to come out on Saturday!

I worked on the web something I have been wanting to do for some time. I really want to implement the changes I have in mind for BlogDumps 🙂

So life goes on Old Blue the faithful farm truck has bled to death and I finally got the mystery truck running.
It’s funny how some just give up, three people tried to get it running and quit working on it. Now granted it took a couple months and chasing and changing out parts but it runs like a champ. Now it just needs a nice paint job.

Well it won’t be long and spring will be here Walmart already has the garden section filling up, winter clothes are going on sale so we must be getting close. I don’t think I could handle another frozen pipe situation again this winter, yes it happened twice so far!

Have a great Tuesday
