Honey-Do (9-08)

Had a productive weekend - Worked on Dad's 3-tier brew structure -
ground seven years of rust off, made modifications to incorporate
larger casters, plate to make a shelf, panel for controls and mount
for water pump. Ran out of time, so I'll need to transport the welder
again and do a few more spot welds.. but overall it was a very
productive weekend. :-)

  • Find a job

 

Starting next wednesday I find out if I'm laid off... so that will have a direct effect on how quickly this list will be consumed. In any case it has been the request of the husband to shutdown weekend activities after september (after two camping trips planned with friends) in favor of clearing his list and mine. Considering our list and the state of the family's finances, I'm inclined to aquiesce to his request. We shall see.
