Friday Morning

Great morning folks,

Mostly cloudy, 54° and a calm wind. A little rain may sweep through from the northwest but it will be short lived here near Halfway USA.

Yesterday seemed to skip from one screw up to the next. We didn't leave the house on time because the ******* Limo didn't start. I'm hoping it was only one battery that needed the terminals cleaned. I expect I should crawl under it, disconnect the starter cables & clean those too.

Menards didn't have my order ready when I went to pick it up so I pulled most of it myself. The guy driving the fork lift warned me about over loading my truck. I kind of grinned at him and said "if your fork lift can pick it up, my truck can haul the load and your lift." Once the pallet of concrete blocks were in place he looked & said, didn't even push down to the helper springs. Most everything was on board to build two more shooting benches at the range. I get the mold finished this morning.

In the afternoon, we stopped by Deb's aunt's place. Her cousins are having the estate sale. Deb picked a couple items she was fond of & those have a new home in the china cabinet here.

Had to stop by her dad's. Bill hasn't been carrying proof of insurance in his truck since he bought it in July. That got taken care of. Next little crisis was the postal carrier gave him a warning to "fix the holes by the mail box" or mail delivery will be suspended. Bill lives on a state highway & the shoulder of the state highway is rutted away, mostly from the postal carrier riding down the shoulder of the state highway. It's a state highway. The state highway department is responsible for maintenance. Deb went to the small town post master and explained the situation. Post master agreed that the mail will continue to be delivered to an upset 83 year old man. Deb called the state highway department and left a message about the situation. We intend to hold our breath until it gets repaired.

One good piece of the day. A fuel pack gas can I ordered on Ebay did arrive. It took me a very short time to install it in Deb's RZR. It is a 1.3 gallon can with thick walls to handle the bouncing. It has a twist lock to secure it in place. It DOES NOT have one of those stupid vapor nozzles, just a flex tube that will actually pour fuel! If you have an off road toy, these can be had for about $38 on ebay.







Due to all the screw ups through the day, we didn't get to relax by rummaging. We will do that today.
