Miscellaneous Crap

Haven't been very project oriented over the holiday break.

I got the important thing done - getting the tractor ready to plow - in case of mid snow storm labor pains.

but after that it's all been random crap like taking the bad cleats out of my "old riding shoes", so I can replace them and stop using my "good shoes".

Like I ride enough to warrant "old" and/or "good" shoes. Don't have new cleats yet. Wouldn't really need them till it warms up anyway.

I did some website work (refresh your cache), but nothing as far as necessary improvements, just maintenance.

I also reorganized my detached garage so the truck is NOT parked on the side with access to the attic. We've been moving a lot of the crap that's been unused in the house to the detached garage attic. Having that space more easily accessible (not having to move the truck every time) will make it more viable. In the process I actually emptied three or so boxes that had been packed in the garage since we moved here. Now my workbench is almost usable.

I also started a top-secret project with my commuter bike and the trainer.

Yes I plan to start riding the trainer, but there's an added piece waiting on parts to complete the project. More to follow soon.

We've also been running a lot of baby stuff errands. We spent one morning measuring the walls and current furniture in our nursery, then looking online at various nursery pieces to see what we liked and what might fit. We settled on some things, ran down to the store and placed an order.

Jen has also been procuring and organizing lots of "cute outfits." We might actually be ready for this thing when it comes.

What to do today?

Some Variety

The blinker came in for my car, so I started with getting that installed. It took a little "manipulating",

but it went in nicely.

After that I spent some time with the pool getting it ready for closing - nothing significant, just cleaning and chemicals before we put it to bed for the winter.

A late surprise was replacing the tractor blades after dinner.

Usually I'm too tired or dinner is too late to do stuff after. Guess I didn't work hard enough during the day or the stars aligned just right.

Using the air tools makes the job silly fast. I had it back together and on the tractor before I rememberd to take a picture with the new blades. I think It took me longer to clean up the mess then it did to do the switch.
