Well….was sitting here getting ready to get out for the first bike ride this morning and my oldest son and his fiance called to causally let me know that they got married back last November but just decided that they shoud probably let people know…I laughed at that one since it is just so him…so some good news today made it a good day….and I got some work done, too…took the copper downspout down and took my little grinder to it there was so much peeling paint…got most of that off and I think I may be able to take the rest of the paint off with stripper now…it does look pretty cool with the shiny copper showing through…and I was going to paint it but I just couldn’t….so I put it back up and fixed the straps that hold it so now it is nice and sturdy and I can continue to try to get the rest of the paint off…used my grinder so much that the fap disk I had is used up so I had to stop….so I did get some work done this weekend…and now on to the yard tomorrow…..
