How long could it take? When I was single I found I couldn’t keep up with the folding if I ran three machines at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted November 20, 2021 Share #10 Posted November 20, 2021 I think the only guy stuff still in there is a floor pump and a tool box and a bunch of tie down straps and bungee cords. I put the kayak paddles, PFDs, and tackle box away in August when I realized I wouldn’t be taking the kayaks out again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted November 20, 2021 Share #11 Posted November 20, 2021 Slept an hour later than usual this morning. Going to help WoJSTL get the two large artificial Christmas trees out of the shed and rake up some leaves. Hopefully get in 20 miles riding this afternoon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wall has two coats of paint. I blew leaves around the yard. A Benjamin Moore paint store closed with the store having a full inventory. The people that bought the building wanted that inventory gone so they had a clearance sale. $5 a gallon any paint in the store. As the paint got picked over and the most desirable paint was gone they dropped the price. Each day they dropped it more. The last time I stopped in they were selling paint fifty cents a gallon and cans of tint for a quarter. I bought some tint to tone down some of the yucky colors I just bought. The guy asked me if I would like the machine that adds the tint and the shaker. He was going to give it to me. I bet that stuff cost a lot to buy if you need it. I didn’t need it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted November 20, 2021 Share #14 Posted November 20, 2021 I slept well just not very long. I read until 1:30am and Rudy told me it was time to go out at 5:15am. In between was great 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted November 20, 2021 Share #15 Posted November 20, 2021 I slept pretty good last night, till about 5:45. What was unusual was that BuffCarla woke at 6 and talked my ear off until 7. It was sweet, but she hardly ever talks in the early morning. When my brother and I left for the farmers market at 9:30, she was still in bed, but up when we got home at 11:30 she was up and sipping coffee. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BuffJim Posted November 20, 2021 Popular Post Share #17 Posted November 20, 2021 My brother is streaming his son playing Wheelchair Basketball for Univ of Illinois this afternoon against Arizona. U of I could be #1 in the nation if they win today and his son is one of the top players. That’s his son, adopted from India with a destroyed thigh, not sure if from a human or a wild animal. He endured a very painful surgery, and can walk, but not real well. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldendesign Posted November 20, 2021 Share #18 Posted November 20, 2021 This is the weather Floridians wait 8 months of summer for. We're 80, breezy and lightly cloudy. Movie in the park last night, Celtic Festival all day today and tomorrow a local small township is having a celebration Festival. Best time to be outdoors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted November 20, 2021 Share #19 Posted November 20, 2021 My poor older brother. After driving 700 miles to help the piano movers yesterday, they canceled cause their truck wasn’t working. So he drives 300 miles to stay with us. So today, the two of us walked to the farmers market. I got credit for 4.3 miles and almost 9000 steps. Here’s the kicker. He forgot to put on his Fitbit, so he got no miles and no steps. He’s out walking now, while I’m taking a nap with BuffCarla. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted November 20, 2021 Share #20 Posted November 20, 2021 Another coat of paint done. Confession: Wo7 is doing the painting. I filled 20 30-gallon leaf bags. Probably another 20 to go. Manana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted November 20, 2021 Share #24 Posted November 20, 2021 I woke up around 7:00. Pulled the old carpet out of my office. The built-in pudding was disintegrating into yellow dust! Vacuumed it up and started laying the vinyl planking. 4 boxes done. 2 to go. Giving my knees a little break before hitting it again. Former employer is having a thank you dinner for me tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted November 21, 2021 Share #27 Posted November 21, 2021 Got my hair cut this AM and then went to the adjacent mall. Nice to see there was some activity although not big holiday crowds yet. They had a Santa photo section which they didn't have last year, so that's nice to see. They also had peppermint shakes at Chick Fil A ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
