So you might ask what did I do the rest of the day. I was up before 7am and by about 8:30 I was picking up Jim and Dawn. We went to Savanna and made a few stops and drop Dawn off.
We went by the Thompson Prison. That's the one in the news that may be used for the terrorists.
Stopped at Thompson and got a few bags of potatoes, 40 lbs for $5, not bad. Then down past Fulton to the Simplicity dealer for some mower blades, can't get them anywhere else, two diffident sizes.
Then we were off to Morrison. In Morrison I dropped Jim off at the grocery store and I ran an errand for a friend, then we were on our way back to Round Grove. We unloaded the everything. The weather didn't look good so we picked up the tools in case the rain came early. In the end it didn't and we did get some clean-up done. And Jim got his lawn mowed too.
By the time I got home I was so tired that I started this post but didn't get it done. So this morning I finished it.
This next week should be more interesting with the rafters, joists and block coming down. Stay tuned, same place same channel.
Sterling I have to laugh - last night I checked my computer for any new posts - came by had a quick read and was so knackered I decided to leave a comment this morning - thought I was dreamming until I noticed that you added to the post.
ReplyDeleteRunning errands certainly puts a substantial hole in your working day.
Thompson Prison certainly looks very daunting - do you have thoughts on the fact that it may be used for terrorists.

Stef,
ReplyDeleteI like them at Guantanamo Bay, but I really am not too concerned. I don't think they should be give the rights of a US citizen though. I am more concerned with the two nuclear plants within 50 miles of here. But I don't think anything is going to happen with them.
As for running errands, I still can work as long or hard as I want so errands don't really take as much as it would normally.

Hey Sterling,
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your posts yesterday and today and I really like all the pictures you upload (especially 'The Drip' :D). I hope I can take classes in photography after universitty ^^.
I'm also impressed by how much you can work, I'm 16 and I wouldn't have a clue about where to start, or what to do :P.
Keep posting pictures and stories,

Yeah Lieven I am 14 and would not know either but I been reading all this and I got a idea how now. But I still wouldn't try it on my own. I am sure he not saying how to do everything. But I might be able to do it later when I am older and know all the other stuff I need to know.
ReplyDeleteThey should leave those guys in Cuba. I don't want them to get loose here. Hugs JJ
Yes it is a lot of work. I didn't have a clue until I helped others when I was a teenager. And if ether one of you work hard you could do as much as or more than one of us. We both have health problems and have to rest a lot.
ReplyDeleteBesides it not as hard to take it down then it is to build something with it.
Yes JJ, keep them in Cuba.
