  • Headed into Lincoln in a bit, work in WB storage all day (or most of it) go shopping with the boys tonight, get something for their Mom for her BD tomorrow....I will probably send her flowers at work in the names of the kids, I got her a sub to Nebraskaland for her BD, always do. Had a nice weekend working with the Scout Sat am on Auto Mechanics, did a lot. Got the Explorer and the Lumina both buffed and waxed, and winterized all the cars. Fabricated a choke plate for the Camaro. Will try to do a bit more on the Garage this AM before heading into town, even if it is only unpacking one box, I will chip away at it. Went into Walmart Saturday night and got antifreeze and carb cleaner, some shoes and groceries, you can sure go through $125 in a hurry. Came home and typed up the report from Friday, then Allen came out and we watched a movie til way late. He went to the Nebraska Game, then the Southwest Game, so had his fill of football. We went into church Sunday, late as usual, but it was a good service, both of them...Anita dropped off Kyle at our place at 1:30, he had a great weekend in KC, won the Sunday morning game with a diving header into the goal...he played Goalee first half of both Saturday games, and midfield then attacker the other parts....we ate lunch and headed for Curt's, pulled that Honda back. They sure have a bunch of cute kitties down there. Dropped the Honda off at Dennis', see what he can do with it. Kyle and I went out and got the Camaro started, found a freeze plug leaking, so will check with Dennis about installing a new one...you really need a hoist for that, so...they can be a real challenge. But the motor sounded good. Now to get a new throttle cable for it, and the automatic choke spring assembly. Keep plugging away at it. We need to find door panels, start working on wiring under the dash, etc. Find  a headliner, hopefully snag a used windshield, etc. Have to watch the $$ here too, not much coming in lately from Inspections, Christmas right around the corner, and we still need spending $$ for England...My house Ins is due the 9th, $500... plus the house payment. I need some Insps to pay off right quick....I sent out a few emails this morning, checking on the status of some of the older ones...will have to make a few calls I guess. There might be something in the mail, haven't checked it since Thursday and Friday was the holiday...Cloudy and cold here today, got down to 28 last night. Supposed to be 50's all week, low 30's. I can live with that. Starts getting colder I'll have to turn the furnace on in the trailer.....really have to work on getting that rented out...perhaps I can put together a flyer this week, get it over to Bennet and the area churches....want to contact Mr. Zoz and see about hunting ground too, blackpowder coming up. Sure were a lot of hunters out this weekend, pheasent and hi-power deer. Getting a lot of requests for Hunters Safety Class, will check at the Lodge tomorrow, see what weekends are available...Saturday is 2 Scouts Eagle ceremonies... I know Allen wants to go to Southwest playoff for State, but this is more important. Josh Brown from our Troop, Allen and Kyle are Honor Guards...tonight at Scouts is Auto Mechanics MB class, I think I can finish the book reequirements, and one more work day will cover it. Now if I can get all the boys there to do it....that is the biggest challenge. Plus Ryan volunteering his Garage, then not being available Saturdays because of deer season. I understand, but still, when you make a commitment....First day of wrestling for Allen, and Kyle has Tennis Lesson tonight til 5:30, Anita to bring him to Godfathers for pizza. Well, best quit and go feed Willie, head into town. Hopefully the bulk of the week I can work out here, want to mow the pasture, get all the cockle burrs cut down. Keep after the Garage, and the basement, work on the deck as the weather is good enough. Always something...later....
