We didn’t get all of our long list done during the long weekend, but we did get a lot done. More importantly, we had a good time. It was great having 3 days with my wife without having to go to work or leave the house other than some small errands. That’s living the life.
Boy, oh boy, have I been busy! At work and at home. Finally a moment to post an update though.
We are currently working on our nursery for “Baby Raymond.” The floor is almost all finished, I just need to place a support beam underneath that will be braced on the stairs below. I am hoping to do the framing for the 2 new walls this weekend and might even get to hang the door and do the drywalling depending on time.
My brother told me about the new Meyer Home Plow. Apparently Sears is going to be selling it. What’s neat is that it is 2/3 the price of a “regular” plow but still is a “real” plow. To save on cost it uses a Class III front mount receiver for mounting and it doesn’t have conventional left/right hydraulics. Due to that and the fact it is light weight, it can be put on everything from a 1/2 ton truck down to a Ford Escape! I think it’s a real bargain and if I were to ever put a plow on the front of the Ranger I would go this route. I’ve always kinda wanted a front hitch anyway!
I had a dream that I was one of Mark Knopfler’s roadies. Does that make me weird? I think so.
So excited for the weekend, it’s been a long week and an even longer month or so. VERY busy! Now I need time at home to do things around the house. This weekend we’re planning on:
It’s good though, we’ve been wanting to catch up on this stuff for a while. It’ll feel good.
Speaking of feeling good, Lit is back on the scene!
I’ve always been fond of repairing things instead of throwing them out and replacing them. Turns out wheels are no different. We had a bent alloy wheel on our 2002 Ford Focus and needed to replace it (or so we thought). It would have been $130 from a junkyard for a matching wheel. For half that cost we were able to get the old wheel repaired as well as re-balanced! Thanks go to Robert at New England Wheels of Maine located in Madison for the excellent service.
