Good Afternoon, FS Warrior! All is well. I went back to work this morning. I even had chili for lunch. Nothing seems to hinder my iron stomach for long. I wish it was more like iron; then it wouldn't stretch so much. Well, in all honesty, I have been pretty disciplined in my eating - at least for the last couple hours. :D Seriously, I expect to be a pound or two down this Friday, unless I get stressed because I'm not losing. You know, I just can't seem to get serious right now. That's OK though, nothing gets you through the day like a good sense of humor. And if you can't find anything funny to smile about, then look in the mirror. When you think about it, we must look pretty odd to every other species, and even to most of our own.
Well, the van's transmission is going to cost us about $3,000.00. I hope we get it back pretty soon. DW went into the gloom and doom mode, “We didn't get a good deal on that after all.” I had to remind her that when we bought it, I told her that even if it had some serious flaws that would cost us $4,000 or $5000.00, we would still come out ahead. I said, “Do you like the van or not? We can trade it after it's fixed if you don't like it.” She said, “I don't want to trade it.” I guess that means she really isn't that upset about it.
Well, the perimeter of the concrete floor downstairs is dug up and almost ready for the gravel and drain tile to go in. Then I'll put in a sump basin and pump, and a membrane on the inside wall to direct any further seepage, if it should occur, down under the floor to the drain tile. The floor should never get wet again. Then I can install the Endless Pool. That will be a job, but nothing like breaking up the concrete and hauling it away. Life is good.
I have ordered the tractor parts and expect them to be in within a week or two. I can't wait to see it come to life. I think I'm going to be putting a snow plow instead of a mowing deck; I think the mowing is about to come to a close here pretty soon. After a week in the 70's, it looks like we are going to have a week in the 90's and then back into the 70's again. Man, this is crazy weather! No rain in sight for at least two weeks. I'm not complaining; I'd rather get the drainage system installed downstairs prior to having a gulley washer anyway.
Well, I just wanted to check in and let everyone know I survived another illness. It has been a while since I had some affliction. I guess the Lord has to throw something at me now and then so I don't get too cocky.
So, hoping everyone has a great day and a wonamous evening! Toodles!
