A busy day for ROYALTY and the old and new look!!!


There are some good things that come out of the wood shop.  I have wanted to cover these for many years but never got around to it.  There are now two complete and 7 left.  Perhaps those will have to wait for another summer.
Yesterday was busy, that is for me at my age!  There was a time when I got out at 3:30 AM, went to school at 7:00 AM, stayed late at school to coach the soccer team and then had one or more meetings in the evening.  Thankfully those days are only a memory and I am not sure the memory is much any more.  BUT yesterday was busy, really.  I arrived at 8:40 AM for my doctor appt which was at 8:45.  I did not have to wait long and the meeting with the doctor was great.  We talked about my back and hand issue, went over blood work that was done in Florida and then she extended my two prescriptions so I do not have to get her permission for refills while in Naples.  When I got home Terry was ready to leave as both of us had dental appt.  That was when I became royalty, I got a crown.  Well really the truth is I had to buy it for a LOT of money!!!  Terry had a filling and I also had a small one.  On the way home we stopped to have a bit to eat with numb lips and mouths but it was good anyway.  I started to work on the basement walls in the afternoon as we are cleaning, scrapping and painting the block walls. Terry said she thought she noticed a faint oder of gas.   She called Xcel and they came about 3:00.  They worked in the house until 7:00.  There was a tiny gas leak above the dryer, an old pipe sticking out of the wall about 12 inches which the guy sawed off and plugged, the hot water heater was not venting out in a good way so we fixed that and then he installed a new outside intake valve and meter.  About the time he left I hopped in the car to go to a meeting so really I was honest, it was a busy day.
No, I need to get one more gallon of paint from Menards this morning before we begin our day project.  With all the projects we have going now I am thinking of having my retirement check sent to Menards so I don't have to pay each time.  On second thought not a good idea as several years ago I lost my wallet there and it was in the lost and found BUT it had been gone through and the money was missing.  I think I will stick to plastic payment form at Menards as plastic is easier than real  money.  Maybe I have that wrong but then I think my quota for a day is one wrong so no worry.
FP is GONE.
