Deemed a weekend of rest by the Cougs, I breathed deep in relief. My hands were sore and soul tired.
I did find the drive to work all day Friday on cleaning out his workshop, or as it has been deemed, "the man space." Filled up half a dumpster of junk and sawdust that had been accumulated over the last few years. I spent a good hour afterwards just admiring the extra space and organization. A few boxes to still go through and a tool rack to hang, but that'll probably have to wait until after hunting.
The Packers had a game this weekend against the terrifying St. Louis Rams. Did I say "terrifying," sorry, I meant to say "terrible." Woke up early and with the help of Seafoam hurridly we made these delicious jalepeno poppers. Turns out the game wasn't on a station that Dave gets so we had to drop by the Tamarack. We returned to Daves after to continue our sports watching marathon that enveloped all of Saturday and Sunday. By the time the 9th inning of the Brewer game rolled around on Sunday night I was ready to be done with sports for the week. Oh, and Cougar made a tasty broccoli and cheese soup.
Today I spent the day getting my chainsaw in working order for hunting season. I'll be gone all of next week so please invite Cougar to do things, as he'll no doubt be lonely. Anyway, bad news and good news on the chainsaw front. Bad news - Homelite isn't made anymore and no one in western Montana works on them or stocks parts. Good news - I was able to fabricate a linkage rod between the trigger system and throttle out of a coat hanger. I even made an extra one. It's working swell! Off to Ace to pick up a few spare bolts that hold the saw all together.
Anyway, a nice weekend even if it was rainy. It's sure nice to see the sun out now.
It has been over 2 weeks since your last post. As your first follower, I feel it is my responsibility to remind you of the entertainment you bring to my life as live vicariously through the two of you. Please get the creative juices flowing.
