Xterra Issues
For the first time in recent memory, I have a vehicle that’s out of inspection. This doesn’t make me happy. It started out with the horn not working. Now honestly, I don’t really need a horn because I only use it out of anger but it appears that it’s required to pass inspection. Grrr, ok,…

Progress on Pavers
Although no bricks were laid, I did make some progress with the excavation of the dirt and relocated it to the ramp to the shed which was never to my liking. There’s a lot of dirt that needs to be removed. Well, it’s not a lot but with the tools I have (shovel and wheelbarrow),…

Crate Finished
The crate is put together. As far as crates go, it seems like a very nice one. Although now that it’s been built, the damn thing looks huge. Admittedly, if turned on its end, you can put the bike in with relative ease. But the extra weight of the crate, means that once the bike…

Brrr, It’s still Winter
I paused the outdoor activities today because it didn’t get over 50 and it was gale-like winds. I didn’t get a bunch done today but I did get some cuts done for the crate to transport/store the eBikes. Naturally, I didn’t take any pictures but I’ll get some tomorrow when I get the prototype put…

More Bricks Laid
The home improvement project is moving along, slowly but surely. Today I started moving dirt and decided to clean up and brick the west side of the barn. That area has always been a no man’s land because there isn’t enough room to do anything and it just kind of grows over. I put 4…

42 More Square Feet
It’s been a couple of years since I rented the skid steer and cut out the hill between Kent’s place and mine and paved in a parking spot for the RV. I had aspirations to finish paving the alley on the west side of the house and then onto the backyard. With the time off,…

Pre-emergent Applied
I never did get the hang of Sundays but it always helps to get some yardwork done. So I got it applied to both the front and back yard. Another thing that happened today is that we broke a record high for temperature. We hit 82 and the previous high was 80. And some people…

Pudding Kind of Day
With all the excitement over the past couple of days, it’s time for a little downtime and comfort snacks. I went to Harbor Freight and picked up a rolling stool because I’m old and need help getting up and down from the ground, this means I can just sit and scoot. Now that I say…

Dinosaur Valley State Park
This is where my sister, mom, and I scattered my dad’s ashes on Father’s Day in 2014 (I think) so I’ve actually been here before. Prior to that, I had been to Glen Rose. It was a place where Dad took us and I believe a place he lived in his childhood. I remember swimming…

Yard Cleanup & Camping Prep
We started the day at exercise class. We won’t be back for class on Thursday and Friday as we’re going to be heading to Dinosaur Valley State Park for a couple of days. It’ll be great weather so we should have a rocking time. I also picked up a couple of sheets of plywood and…
