Snow Showers to Sun Tuesday
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2016 6:38 amA Hearty Good Morning all,
Some of the white stuff around this morning, but sun promised for this afternoon. Might be the last of the white stuff too. Temps are heading up from here on, into 60's by Thursday. Will be able to get out in the yard and finish some cleanup that I started before the snows came back. With the nice forecast for the weekend, I have a feeling that people are going to be out looking for homes for sale or looking at the homes for sale. So I will be busy washing outside of windows, putting some mulch around some of my trees, touching up a little paint here and there. O'Sharon, you asked how my weekend went. I had a showing on Saturday afternoon. People like the house but said it might be too far from town for them. I have another showing tomorrow night. This one was requested for 8 p.m. Bit late in the day, but that's okay with me. I'm not doing anything anyway and don't have kids to put to bed, get homework done etc. Don't know how people can view a house when it's starting to get dark out but it's their call. Could be return lookers too for all I know. I"m sure the people with the offer standing on my house, waiting for theirs to sell, are anxious too, hoping a buyer walks in their door.
Barb, great news on getting out of your current lease and finding a neat place to move too. Welcome to the ranks of the purgers. Had to laugh when you said you had a box that you didn't know what was in it so were going to have to open it and see. At this point, if you haven't been into it and haven't missed whatever is in it, that would be the first box to put in the pile to go. Judy, hope you can get your aunt and uncle straightened out, so you can get back to your home on wheels. Nikki, glad you are feeling better.
Need to put out a welcome and say hi to all the new folks who have joined. Hope your hopes and dreams become a reality and don't be afraid to ask questions or too many questions. No such thing as a silly question as we all say. We all started from scratch here at one time or other. Maybe we will meet up at a GTG or on the road someplace.
The tale of the lawn tractor is that a friends are going to take it down to where they live about 30 miles south here. He is a retired small engine mechanic and is going to look over those idlers on my mower deck for me. Will save me about $250 bucks. Told the dealer to just give it general service and bring it back here. They aren't happy with me but that's tough. It's my pocketbook, not theirs. I don't need to mow grass for a bit yet but do have some yard work to do, so will be using it for a few hours out there this week before they take it. Nice to have such great friends. They have also offered to help me when time comes to move.
So guess I had better get a move on here myself. Get cleaned up and dressed. Doing a little cleaning here and there this morning as am keeping on top of it so if i get a call, don't have to kill myself getting the house looking good. You all have a nice day out there. Be safe, keep healthy, enjoy travels if on road or just sit and dream. Those facing health issue, know we are all here for you.

so guess I know where next years income tax check will go 
Plus, I can get the dead bushes pulled and house hopefully painted (still need to get estimates on that one).
)). Need to get some air in the tires, 10 psi ea, but they held up pretty well in the winter with the nitrogen but no place close by that has nitro so will have to slowly replace with air as needed. So other than food, clothes and dogs, I'm pretty ready for the dealer on Friday and the first camp on the year. As of now, will bring Colt home, put H2O in the tanks to flush it good this weekend and grab the 4-leggers. Zorro is such a good ole camp dog. Punkin may be handful if he acts around squirrels the same a rabbits. New experience for him. I'll have to send the rescue pics of his first camp, since I think that's why I got him instead of the other couple.
, but I'll give it a shot (or 3, or 4 or 5...) and if it's just too tight for me by myself, will drive to Dad's and plop it down in his driveway till he gets back from FL in a few weeks.
