Grout has been sealed. Test placing the vanity and granite top now. Ridiculously tight, but there's no way in h ell that I'm opening that wall up to relocate the cold water supply by an inch. I'll work around it.

Yes. Woke up around 3 yesterday throwing up, then felt really bad during the day. Doctor said it's some kind of viral thing. Now I've got these all over body aches, my head is congested, and my skin hurts to the touch. Whatever this is, it sucks.

I was sick a few weeks ago; I figured I'd paid my dues.

Utility lights.



Switch.



Chase view when plowing.



View from operator's seat. I didn't do justice to the lights when taking this picture. In real life, it's about three times brighter and it extends both wider and farther out.

I am pumped about my weekend. They tore down the shell of my next door neighbor's house on Monday after 18 months (it burned down) Now I can safely get to the property line and rip out all of the overgrown brush that is invading my yard. Hopefully I won't chop my arm off with a chainsaw. I've been looking forward to this for months.

Feel better.

As an addendum to my earlier post, the utility lights are y-ed off of the tail lights, meaning you can only turn the utility lights on when you have the headlights on. This way we won't mow our entire property with the lights accidentally on, or we won't leave them on to drain the battery overnight (must have the key in the ignition to turn the headlights on).

Cutting down old brush with a chainsaw is a great stress reliever.

I just hope I can find the snow shovel when disaster hits here.

Great dinner tonight. The ultimate comfort food for the gray rainy day.

Grilled Cheese (extra sharp cheddar) on homemade wheat bread and tomato soup.

Yep. I already have our driveway markers in. 125 bamboo stakes painted blaze orange at the top. I still have to stripe the grader blade so I'm not hit by some soccer mom in too much of a rush to slow down behind me on the road.

So the doc thinks it's viral, yet he gives you a high powered staged antibiotic? I don't get it. Maybe that's why I'm not a doctor.

Sounds familiar. Grilled tuna sandwich, baked fries, clam chowder.
