Update: It's officially Saturday until the middle of next week! The only downside is that I promised to try and get my truck fixed by then - which I need to do anyway.

If you get one with multiple size capability you can grind corn into chicken feed or make the finest pastry flour with wheat, barley, etc.

I have multi-sized different hammers and an anvil but it may be slow goind depending on the volume of product required.

Here, they make pallets out of wood. If they made them out of candy, no one would care about the cargo and just eat the pallets. A Reese's pallet sounds pretty good right now.

Sounds like a lot of work. Jodi gets flour from King Soopers for like $1.69

Eli Whitney called and wants to know if you'd like to buy a cotton gin?

You can taste the difference! Not to mention the way the whole house smells afterward.

76 for the forecast high today.

Mechanic work continues. About $600 in parts so far to fix a $10 donut seal - because I don't ever want to pull the intake on this 6.0 again.

Spring cleaning the in the house top to bottom, side to side. Ya know how many things i need to be doing or would rather be doing right now? This is literally the second of two things I can think of that a wife would be handy for.

Real Saturday here. Court playing a couple of basketball games today with most kids he's never played with; 2 years older... guess we will see how they do

Ok, we are back down to one thing a wife would be handy for.

Mundee eve is already here. Still lack the living room and kitchen on spring cleaning but i hope to have it knocked out before church. Gotta go eat at main street bbq with mom and the sisters and their hubbies after church then see if the front yard has firmed up enough to mow and weedereat and edgerer and blow and all of that then maybe ill end up with a couple of hours to do something fun before mundee gets here....nope, probably not.

58 to a partly something 78.

creepycrawler · Post by **creepycrawler** » Mon May 12, 2025 4:37 am

Oh no. The mundee is here and the want for it is below zero. 63 to a sun shiney 83.

Willie G · Post by **Willie G** » Mon May 12, 2025 4:39 am

Mid 80s for doing mechanic work on another Saturday.

I'm seem to be slowing down. Leaning over the radiator doesn't just suck, now it hurts.

creepycrawler · Post by **creepycrawler** » Mon May 12, 2025 4:42 am

On top of mothers day stuff and church and spring cleaning and lawn work yesterday, i did score a full set of Crager SS wheels for only $350. Ill take that deal every day and twice on Sunday.

Real Monday here.

8th grader has his 1st Summer League game tonight with his High School Junior Varsity team. He had 4 games over the weekend with some kids just put together playing established teams with Sophomores and Juniors and Court held his own. Yesterday, had a game where he drained 5 3-pointers and then the next game he was also high-scorer. They lost both of those games (the competition were really good teams), but it was great prep for him moving up and playing kids 2-3 years older.

He's been working on his strength training on his own at night. It's been showing.

Ya'll remember when school ended @ Memorial Day and started after Labor Day?

Tomorrow is Court's last day of school; he has a 1/2 day. Then he goes on Willie G's schedule of Saturdays.

Mechanic work continues. I feel like I'm almost as slow as Allen.

85 today, before cooling off the rest of the week.

10 degrees cooler today (75).

I'm loaded down with boxes to take to the dumpster at work, so I'll stick my head in the door and see if they need help.

71 to a sun shiney 97 for this humping day. It seems a little early in the year for close to triple digit temps.
