Rough start to the holiday weekend!

I had to put my plumber's hat on..
The bathtub drain decided it was a better idea to leak rather than contain water properly.
So, only one trip to the hardware store, 2 hours of work, and now the leak is repaired.
But,,,,
While I was at the store, I scooped up a brand new American flag for the front of the house, and helped an elderly lady load her mulch into her big old Caddy.

I replaced the switch to my small lathe (a Record), burned up the original Brit. one. Flipped the switch, it worked, flipped it off. Went to use my table saw and no power. Flipped the breaker. It would not re-set. Unplugged the lathe, flipped the breaker, and all is good. Gotta pull the switch apart and see what I did but in the meantime I have two Lemon/Rosemary chickens on the smoker.

Found out the washer was leaking. It had been leaking and water ran underneath the laminate floor, ruining it. Pulled the washer out. Pulled the floor up. Fixed the washer. Only took three trips to appliance parts store to get all the right parts. Now the washed is not leaking but it is sitting in a catch basin if it does. And it's on bare concrete since I had to pull the floor up. But I'm going fishing and shooting tomorrow, so it's all good.

Shelves. measured the cabinets in the pantry. Went to a couple stores, cause I was feeling lazy and don't have much wood laying around, and tried to find something easy. Ended with some plastic ones. seem to fit well and help with the clutter.
eventually I suppose i should mow the back 40 but i'm feeling really lazy

Got bit by something in the green house yesterday eve whilst napping. Nailed me between the second and third toe. A black widow is suspected as that is about the only creature of a venomous nature the has been frequently seen and dispatched in the greenhouse. Pain was horrific last night, bad today but tolerable. Whole foot is red and swellen.

And you didn't go to the Dr. why?

I have been bit by the critters in the past, twice. Check pulse and BP to decide on treatment or not. My vitals were good. I knew what to expect -- nausea, headache etc. so I did not get freaked out. Not much for treatment anyhow. Darn rattlers have nailed me a few times when l worked for the forest service surveying for logging road construction. Guess I am fortunate to not be too affected by them or the widows.

My Son's Mother in Law is an older woman that plays golf several times a week and has been stung by bees a number of times...a couple of months ago she got into an area that had a swarm and got stung twice before she could leave the area..thought little of it for a while and then things turned bad...she swelled up..her tongue swelled and almost choked her..she got dizzy and went down...they got her to the E/R and it turns out she has developed a sensitivity to bee stings (you would think she might have developed an immunity) as a result of accumulated stings over the years...she now has to carry a hypo full of something and if stung again has to give herself a shot and get to the E/R..they said if not handled properly it could kill her...hope the spider bites don't cause you the same problems

They gave her an Epi-Pen. It s a syringe with epinephrine (adrenaline). If she gets stung, it will keep her from going into anaphylactic shock which can kill her. She would still need to go to the ER right away. Same thing people with severe food allergies keep. She can see an allergist/immunologist and they may be able to give her a series of injections over several months to lower her allergic reaction so that she won't have to keep the Epi-Pen anymore.

You should get the the ER! Spider bites can cause all kinds of severe infections even if the poison is not terribly dangerous. Even if you know exactly what kind of spider bit you, if the wound looks as you describe, there is a high likelihood there is an infection and its not just due to the poison Please, go to the ER!

We loaded the heavy stuff in the pod today. And I picked up a new 93 turk just in time to move it.

[alrighty]

I hopefully sold a 1966 Thunderbird and helped get it loaded on a trailer headed to Indiana.I say hopefully sold because I wasn't told that I would not be getting paid today until after we got it loaded.Funny how it is always the friends and family that use I.O.U.'s.
At least the day ended on a better note.A couple of pistols I bought on GB came in today.

Garden is now about 90% planted after working on it the last 2 days. Will put in another 3 rows of sweet corn next week so it matures a little later. Replaced the blade on the radial arm saw and got a piece of red oak cut that I need to run in the laser tomorrow and get that order ready to ship. After all the doc appointments last week getting outside helped my mood.

[dragon813gt]

Started out the day by going to the greenhouse and buying all new plants. A hail storm on Thursday decimated the garden. It took out every plant. I thought I did good by getting it all planted two weeks early. Guess not

Then I went and got the mail and there was the little pink slip from the PO in the mailbox. Drove down and came home w/ this.

Spent the rest of the afternoon, well I did take the wife out to Five Guys for lunch, turning that stack of boxes into this.


Tomorrow I have to build a storage box for it all. My footlocker on the main floor of the garage is full. I'm not looking forward to moving it into the attic of the garage. The main floor has a 12' ceiling so there are quite a few steps to climb. After that I guess it's time to strap the car seat into the truck because her due date is on Wednesday.

Radial arm saw ? a brave soul indeed , they skeer the daylights outta me ..

Five Guys ?? everyone told us how great they are , so we went last weekend , 20 bux for two small burgers , two small fries and two small drinks , and wasn't that great

They aren't cheap so I hope no one told you they were. You only need one order of fries for every two people. I don't know what to say about the burgers being small. They are anything but at the one I go to. But I usually get the bacon cheeseburger. Which is a double unlike the little which is a single burger. I've found that people get mad about the price and because of that they say it's not good. Right now I'm getting 50 points for every dollar spent there on my credit card so it's in my favor. The only other chain burger shop in my area that I think is better is Jake's Wayback Burger. They use potato rolls but it always takes forever to get your order. They have a six pattie burger if your a typical American, which I am not. I'm patiently waiting for In-N-Out to open up by me

[HollandNut]

well it was small on the menu IIRC , and no we weren't told of the price , still wasn't too impressed with the burger , but the fries were good

live and learn

I've been to 5 Guys Burgers before. Got the 'small' burger. Took up over half the plate. Fries were really good, and took up the rest of the plate. No, it wasn't cheap, but, it was more than I could eat, and a lot better than McD's, or BarferKing. The food was fresh, tastey and juicy. mikey
