Hauled 4000 pounds of flooring into the house to acclimate (that's 2tons isn't it?), painted 5 doors, transplanted squash plants to the garden, then painted some window trim. Got home, made epic Caesar salad (I have a killer dressing recipe), homemade seasoned baguette croutons, and now I'm sitting on my ass in a coma....

tomorrow: repeat ('cept hauling flooring) More painting, need to do baseboards and more doors...

Wow! What a girl! My wife just watches me and complains about colors I suggest.

Friend of mine hooked me up with a summer job at his Uncle's body shop. It's an entry level position, so it's mostly bitch work - grinding, cutting, lifting etc. but, the pay is surprisingly decent. Plus I love working with my hands, so I am pretty stoked. Perfect way to pick up some new customers if nothing else. I start tomorrow, wish me luck.

Today I've I accomplished playing hooky from work as to get caught up on all the yard work I've been neglecting since the pool season started. 78f today and zero chance of rain. Rest of the week is high 80's and 40% chance everyday. It was now or never. So far I've accomplished moving a pile or rocks dug up from the step build. Calling off paying work to do unpaid work. FML.

Seems like the only way to get caught up with that stuff.

It is a lost skill. I redid a 72 short wheel base ford pickup.

Stroked 351 small block, four speed. 12 inch wide mags like on the gran Torino's.

Posi rear end. I could warm the tires up and drop the clutch and hold the front tire as high as a coffee can to the sixty foot mark.

We leaded the lines on the bed and cab instead of seam sealer.
