I went to OSH and got the longest philips-head screwdriver I could find that still had a small enough tip to work the average screw. I got home and unscrewed the screw that is supposed to hold the wire in with no problem. Then we ate dinner. After dinner I determined that after I strip […]

For quite some time there has been a problem where over a bump the scooter will momentarily lose power. At first I thought I was imagining things but then I found it was real. Last week it cut out for a good 30 seconds on my way home and because it was a long time […]

The cat was all “meow meow meow meow meow meow meow…” until I turned all the light out. He was also tryign to rub against me and purr. I know he’s freaked out if he’s coming to me for love. Dogs had to go out at 4AM and we all got back to sleep easily […]

What a fine and funny film! I really liked how you could see him wake up as the movie progressed and the drugs lost their hold over him and he found new things to enjoy. I know a sequel wouldn’t be the same, but I’d like to see what happens next to these characters. If […]

We grilled our hotdogs and heated up some chili for dinner. Then we actually went inside and cleared away enough stuff to watch a movie (Garden State) to make the cat feel better because we decided it’s easier to keep him trapped in the part of the house that isn’t being done. Then made sure […]

This morning we moved the last few things to the tv room, and moved what we need to live to the RV (like food, tooth brushes, towels). I’m glad that’s done. Now we just need the floor guys to show up and get to work. Next weekend we can work on moving everything back in […]

Now that I’ve finally seen the season finale of Lost I have some thoughts coming to me. Spoilers here… I think Sawyer will end up dead. Nicole pointed out to me that the craxy French lady said she heard they were coming for the boy, we didn’t think the boy was Walt though. Is this […]

Moth of our closet is moved, most of the living room is moved, most of the dining room is moved. We still need to move the stuff in our room and Nicole’s room and take care of the misc in the other rooms. Oh yeah. We also need to move the wood burning stove. It’s […]

That was tonight’s dinner. I tried it ont he grill but I think without the meat thermometer it wasnt as warm as I would have liked it. It was cooked all the way through and it wasn’t rare, but the connective tissue hadn’t broken down enough. The tater tots were fine of course (new extra […]

It’s been a few weeks since I got the new tire and I decided I should check the pressure this morning. It was almost 50PSI!! It’s only rated for 36. I guess that shows it’s a well made tire considering I’ve been abusing it and hitting all manner of bumps. I lowered the pressure to […]
