The weekend was spent with Nina and I totally cleaning out my parents flower beds around the perimeter of the house. ..the weeds were like 3 ft high...I have some more to do yet..I actually chose to use the walk behind mower over the rider just to get the excercise in..and didn't stop once....lol..yesterday was spent ripping out the huge mess of rear wiring under the van created from the previous owner and completely redoing it nice and neat and correctly...and replacing the trailer hitch plug as well....today...fixing the headlight problem of the high and low beams being on at the same time..oil change fuel filter...lube...put the new generator on...and anything else we can find ...than tomorrow get the chainsaw out and cut down/up the tree and branches that fell during last nights storm..its something how I work harder at home than at work...but I love staying busy like this...the first 2 days are a living hell physically but after that the more I do the better I feel.. dad isn't doing too well even though he is home. As much as I do not want to accept it, I think his days are numbered. I hope I am wrong.

It's crunch time. Closing on my old and new home on Friday, then the major stuff move set up for Sunday, which of course, I'm not ready for yet :rolleyes:

Exciting but has been extremely more stressful then I thought it would be. I remember now why I hate to move :rolleyes:

Only good part about moving is you realize how much stuff you should have thrown out a long time ago.

That's for sure! Pretty much to this point that's all I've been doing (De-stuffing haha). The last 3 hrs of actual packing went rather easy, except for some sad items that didn't make the next cut :p Although, that bread maker that I have never used, continues to put up a strong fight :rolleyes:

Save the breadmaker Roadtime...you will use it one day! So I wake up this morning and am thankful this renovation is about over...right now I'm still waiting for the plumber to hook up the water to the shower and vanity, and the contractor has the new front door nailed in place so I have to use the back door and wishing like he.ll I was out on the road with Ken..lol Every time I sweep up there's a new mess to clean up..yesterday it was drywall mud being sanded and the debris from taking out the French doors and it's all over...I want these guys out of my house so I can get the painting done and clean up!!!!

I think 80% of the bread makers ever made, didn't produce one loaf of bread. Ours sure didn't, lol.

Well another day and another airplane. Hope everyone is being as productive as they can for July and staying safe!
