What did you accomplish today?

I tried to save my screen gazebo from the windstorm.

I got the roof unhooked and the wind took it and shredded it in a tree. I tried to unhook the screen walls and the wind caught it and bent the frame.

I'm not a fan of the windstorms lately.

On the upside of today, I got B2P1 and Mutey transplanted into 5 gal pails and the Kaya kids (B3P1 & B3P2) transplanted into solo cups.

Firstly - are you OK?
Secondly - if you are OK, I need way more details!!! Did a tree hit a shed?
Thirdly - Remind me that you and I must never work on a project together. Except maybe a taste testing project bongsmilie

Cheers,

1) Other than a bit stiff from body slamming myself into the yard I'm good (though I think I found a blade of grass as I was brushing my teeth this morning).

2) The banya was done for, built 20+ years ago with scrap/rough cut lumber that was rotting in numerous places so it had to go. Stripped off interior & exterior so just studs, plywood & roof were left. Pulled off the east wall w/ 4 wheeler winch & was prepping from the inside to take down the north wall.
* Evil creaking commenced * So I performed my best Jessie Owens aiming for the East "hole", dove for the grass around 3' prior to exit when the falling wall (propelled further by the roof above it) slammed down on the floor in a cloud of dust & jamming my boots into the ground.

Went inside, told Momma what happened then called it a day & grabbed a large glass of Chardonnay.
And then another!

I'm in for the taste testing tho, sounds a lot safer.


All joking aside it was a widow maker if I'd hesitated for even 2 seconds.

I absolutely hate letting anyone work on my cars, because shit like this happens too much.

Look it over real good before you drive away Friday and make sure they put a good one on. They'll probably want to get one from a salvage yard if they can find one, which is ok so long as it's not messed up.

When I am looking at used cars. the first thing I notice is the rims...If they are all curb rashed, I know the previous owner couldn't drive for shit!

Time for a bicycle ride! I got a little sad yesterday thinking summer is half over.

To be fair to the garage, they told me right away that it wrecked the rim. I'm buying the new rim from Honda and having the dealership install it and they're going to reimburse me. I take really good care of my stuff, I don't try to parallel park or park close to other people at stores... This car is a 2019 with less than 8,000km and other than some salt stains on the drivers side carpet it's completely mint, not a scratch or dent anywhere inside or out and should last me another decade easily. I gotta dig up a pic of my first car. My parents ancient volvo v90 with a billion kilometres. I couldn't afford maintenance so I just didn't do it and drove that thing till the doors practically fell off.

enjoy your ride.

I have a friend that had an issue with the driver's side door panel in her new 733i BMW. She took it in to get it fixed and they kept breaking bigger and bigger things until she ended up getting a new car from them! Fingers crossed you don't have that experience.

This f@cking tire is the bane of my existence. Took it in to have the tire replaced. Something broke on the tire machine and it gouged the hell out of the rim and left a deep line on the front. >:( So now I have to go back in on Friday and have the rim replaced.

Ask them to pay 1/2 the cost of the tire for that, besides the new rim. They should pay for you having to come especially now.

Wow I wouldn't be paying them anything and I'd want 1/2 the tire paid at the very least.
