Well…damn, I’m not sure why I keep doing this to myself but I worked my butt off and accomplished some things this morning….first the indoor bike and then a run over to Lowes to look for a short piece of tubing that they didn’t have and I almost left without anything since it was cold and wet but halfway out the door I said nope and went back in and picked up the 10ft piece, put the top down on the car and drove home with 6 feet of tubing sticking out of the back of the car…then I worked on the garden and got the soil turned and the manure mixed in along with fixing the fence and raking the leaves…then cutting up the branches that I’ve picked up since the snow melted and getting them put in a big yard bag…after that, I just couldn’t leave the front gate when I had all the parts so I got out my grinder with a cut off wheel and cut the old corners off, cut a 26 inch piece of the tubing out of the 10 feet, and installed the whole thing and now I have a gate that is not flopping around with the bottom tube rusted completely away…it still doesn’t hang straight but that is a job for another day since I gashed a big one in the back of my left thumb when the cut off wheel slipped…doesn’t hurt much but it bled like crazy…the new band aid with antibiotic with pain reliever has helped…so, I did get a few things done this morning that had been bugging me…but now I’m done for the day other than getting an outdoor ride in after lunch….more later….
