    A Somewhat Frustrating Weekend

    The plan for this weekend was to set the ridge beam on the shop and start working on the roof. My wife had a clinic all day yesterday so the girls and I got to do fun stuff all day. I was going to mow the lawn during nap/quiet time but no gas. I couldn't go get any because of nap and quiet time... I lost this morning due to life stuff and mowing the lawn. After finally getting outside and almost hurting myself with the beam I went to the neighbor's to get the tractor. I figured I would need it for the roof panels anyway. The tractor has a flat tire. I called my dad, he came over and we set the beam. Then I got one gable end up and it started raining. I pulled the tarp back up, punted and went to run errands. Of course the sun came back out after I left.

      I can totally relate man. Except it just kids not weather goobering up my plans. When I get one happy / occupied, and one napping, the third will always mess up one of the other 2. Then once all 3 get settled, I have maybe an hr or so to do shop stuff. I love them all to death, but I will be very happy when they all get a little older so they can be more trusted to just play or come out and help or whatever. As is none are old enough to watch the others .

          David,

          I see our friend named Murphy came for a visit down with you too. I was supposed to have a quiet 4 day weekend. So far -

          Friday - 3 phone calls from work by 9am. Run around to all of the small gunshops I know of searching for round gold aka primers. If I can't buy pistol ammo atleast I can roll my own. Good news - I found pistol primers and I am in business.

          Saturday - Dog wants to go out at 6am. She doesn't want to go out at 6:15 before I leave for work on the daily basis. Wax my truck and my dads SUV. He decides to go away so I couldn't do their other car. UGH!. Then I get a burglar alarm call for one building at work. Cop is a tard because I leaned one hand on his car. He gets an attitude from me and he figures out he pissed me off. Midget complex - 4' tall with a gun and an attitude of a giant. UGHx2! Ugly Tstorm saturday night, 2.85" of rain in 1.5hours and no power for well over an hour. Power just comes back on around 10pm and I get another alarm call for work.

          Sunday - Dog decides she wants to go out... at 5:45am this time. Wax my parents other car. Get a phone call around noon that we have another problem at work. So I get to spend 2 hours at work. Wake the dog up before I leave. If I can't sleep, neither can she
          Decided to mow the yard quick since there was a Tstorm on the way. Get done only to see the storms fall apart before they got here.
