Rob Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 "Momma" wants to go to the lumber yard/home center to check on garden center items today as the is in the need of some plants and bushes to finish out the landscape around the house. She asks if I'd like to go also. "Well sure", as I think this would be a great time to get a few treated boards to replace the broken ones on the decks of both my trailers. Well, we get to our local "Menards" store and she heads off to do her thing, and I do mine. I catch back up with her about 1/2 hour later and she has on the cart not only a couple of bushes, (boxwoods) and some plants that I have no idea about, there is a sliding compound mitre saw, (a nice one too). Asking what that is for she tells me it's so I can finish the jobs I started about 12 years ago, (or so). Awww Geez, I hate when she hammers me like that cause the "Momma" has a mind like a steel trap that don't let go. I just get caught up in the shop and she goes and schedules my next two weeks of evenings for me.We wound up getting out of there with about a mile of casing, base, brick mould, caulk, paint, perimeter weatherstrip for the garage door, and a new astragal seal. Guess I better get good with the saw.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I'm still sitting over here on the side of the interstate waiting to put the GoodHouseKeeping Seal Of Approval on it. I got this hankering for some ribs. I'm sending some sauce for you to try. It will be next week when I send it to you. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/15410-work-cut-out-for-me/#findComment-62483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
