He said "they only blow away if you close the sides in". And Zina said "we need to close the sides in". So they came back and closed the sides in.

We have an acre.

The inside screws did not have the rubber piece on them. I found one on the ground that had came out, I had to dig up another one in the shed to put back in. The one I got out of the shed I just left the rubber piece on it. The sides and roof screws have the rubber on them.

We live in a mobile or modular home but not in a park. I told Zina that the constant back and forth is what loosened the screws. They just used self starting sheet metal screws in it, just stick in the socket on a cordless drill and run it in, drills it's own hole. They're more concerned about doing it quickly than anything else I'm sure, then they can move on to the next job.

Oh, the rest of the story- I was sitting here minding my own binness the other day when Michigan guy called. He said he was sending a truck to get the big green International that runs now and it would be here in the morning. This was after he had already talked to Underdog about delivering it. So then I had to scramble to clean it out. Still had tools and stuff and decorations from the Christmas parade in the side boxes and I had to put the mattress back in it. And the next morning the driver called and said he was about 30 minutes away. I went out and started it and let it run until it was on the trailer. It was about 30 degrees and I told him I'd never even tried to start it when it was that cold before. But it started right up, and I leaned my big piece of cardboard up in front of the radiator. He had cash in hand, so we loaded up and away he went. After we stood around and talked for an hour 🤣

I was outstanding in the carport this morning (see what I did there? 😁) and noticed that a screw was backed out about halfway. So I got the stepladder and a quarter inch drive ratchet and socket and went over every screw in it. It's not screeching and moaning now, most of them were loose and two had come all the way out.

Happy birthday 🎂

Still holding out on turning that AC on- but just barely!

The igloo just disappeared. I'm guessing somebody picked it up at night, because I didn't see anything. They never paid me for it either. The only thing is, I don't know if it's in Australia or North Carolina.

Happy birthday!

oh

I mowed the grass today- part of it anyway. Seems like just a few weeks ago I was shoveling snow.

One of the neighbors came over and wanted to get a last picture of it. I told her "that's fine but the truck is over there behind you".

The Mack is too tall. I parked my Impala in there.

I remember those!
