• Sunday it rained all day, had hoped to get some Christmas lights up, so much for that. We watched movies all afternoon and evening, I made a pizza for lunch, and a chili for supper. Wrote up a foundation Inspection to turn in Monday. At least its $45. Got nearly caught up on my bills, but didn't have enough to cover my house payment, and I have a deer at the locker to pickup. Eric called and gave us another on, will get him Monday. Muley. medium sized. Repaired the Mandolin tonight, put on the new tuning keys and a set of strings. The keys are really cheapies, but at least they work. No more often than I use it, they will probably last me another 20 years, by then I won't care.... Clamped and glued the Violin, we'll let it harden a few days and see how that turns out. I have a bow coming, and the rest of the parts to repair it, so I should be able to play it in another week or so. That would be interesting. Don't know that I'll ever get serious about it or take lessons or anything, but it is sort of a family antique. It was something of Uncle James', and in the condition most of his stuff was in.... Got up Monday and felt terrible, got the boys off to school, only got to 38 degrees last night, so no ice, just mud. Thankful for that. I went back to bed for a couple hours, felt better and got up at 10. Headed into town, dropped off the report, got mail, got rent at G St. Shelley had only part, Tina had only part, Dean did't have any, and Jason had all this months and part of next months! Wish they were all like him! Stopped past the bank, picked up the deer, went past Best Buy looking for Christmas presents, stopped at Southwest and got the correct activity passes. They lady gave me a bunch of crap about it, no wonder Allen had a hard time with that. I just smiled and stood there, she finally gave me the correct ones. Some people. Went to Panama, picked up that deer, brought it home and repacked the big freezer, got all of our current deer into that one, so anything from this year can go into the little one. Cats found the deer in the back of the truck, thought that was pretty cool. I think another cat has aopted us, grey tiger male. Kind of stocky, real vocal, friendly. He sleeps in the hay in the barn, which is where I wish all of them would sleep. Isn't bothered by the others much, they hiss at him a little but tolerate him OK. I think we'll name him Clarence. Reminds me of the clockmaker in "It's a Wonderful Life". He just seems like a "Clarence". Got the tools loaded up for Scouts, will get our uniforms and head into Lincoln here shortly, do woodworking projects tonight at Scouts. Should be fun. They are pretty easy. Will stop past Wal-Mart on the way in, check out some Christmas lights and check to see if they stock some videos. Supposed to be 50 tomorrow, and 52 on Wednesday. I hope it dries up so I can get that trench dug, right now it is a sea of mud out there. Pointless trying to dig in that. Well, best scram for now.....later.....
