The guy is moving and had to be out by today,he works with my step son. He has been recently,don’t know how recently, put into a mobility scooter,don’t know why for sure, but he can’t work on cars and what ever anymore. So he just wanted the stuff gone and was giving away a bunch of stuff. With that being said,the boy has a buddy who is learning to work on his own cars,off of you tube,but doesn’t have much for tools,so I’m going to put together a kick ass beginners box of tools for him.

I've always heard that if a cat has the wirks it's best to do a cat scan on it first before continuing,,,,, :sofa:
 
It's a good day.
Always a good day when you spot these fellows before you step on them on the way to get the newspaper.

So the painting saga continues. The main part of the house is done and we were going to wait on the other rooms.

Then a desk came up on Nextdoor and my wife has been wanting to replace my desk. Of course, before putting the new (to us) desk in we should paint first. So my office is now painted as well. The desk is moved in. Cables have been re-routed.

Here's a side topic. Colors. What's up with colors?

We have a two tone scheme. The original 2 tone scheme was some sort of a light yellow and a darker gold. Flat. Last painted about 2010. We now have a satin paint job and our two colors are Heavy Cream and Creamy Mushroom (these are the Behr color names.)

The Heavy Cream is not surprising. It's what you would expect. That damn mushroom, though, just messes with my mind. My wife calls it taupe - a brown grey. When it sits in the small 1 gallon bucket I can see the brown in it. When I wash out the bruch I can see the brown in it. When it dries on the outside the 1 gallon can I can see the brown in it.

On the wall? Nothing but grey. No brown at all. Not even a speck. My wife and daughters/daughters-in-law of course say it's brown. One son has no idea as he's color blind, the other son/sons-in-law haven't chimed in as they haven't been over since it's been painted.

It's just odd how it just changes color on me. It's like that internet dress or shoe picture :)
 
Today is my first day of a week off vacation, I went and took a road test for a new job, I passed. I'll be driving a tanker hauling fuel, something new for me. I figure there's never any slow downs in fuel like in other jobs. It felt good to get back in a big rig again. I'll be driving locally, training starts in 2 weeks.

Then I found a listing on craigslist for free retaining wall blocks, going to take the recently rebuilt trailer and pick them up.

There's like 400 of them so I'm thinking at least 2 trips maybe more, I'll see how the trailer squats with a heavy load in it. Been a good day so far!
