Subject: Re: 7 JANUARY 18 by Matatk on 2018/1/7 17:30:04 Good Morning CGs! I'm back in action. Sorry for the absence. If you recall earlier I had mentioned we were planning a trip to Minnesota with the kids. That did materialize and we drove up Tuesday morning. Got our hotel and recuperated a bit from the 6 hour drive. Took the kids in the pool so they were happy. Wednesday was mall-time and we went to the amusement park for the entire day. Great time to be there, it was dead. We also hit the indoor/underground aquarium. There is a huge plexiglass tunnel that you walk through and the sharks and fish swim right over your head. I recommend it if you go there. Thursday we hit the mall for a little bit and then headed out. Stopped in Wisc Dells on the way home to eat at a restaurant we like and stopped at the meat market there that has amazing stuff. Then it was a few more hours home. Friday I started tearing the master bedroom apart to prep for paint. I got the primer cut in and then rolled the walls with primer in the evening. Saturday I took BIL to the dealer where I bought my Accord. His 05 F150 finally took a dump and he was in desperate need for a new one. As luck (fate?) would have it, my buddy the manager had a used 2017 4x4 crew cab with the 3.5 ecoboost coming to the lot that morning. So we looked and it and he bought it. That was still about a 3 1/2 hour process without even having to haggle about the price. Came home and had some other tasks to do. Finally got the color coat edges cut in and it was time for bed. Fast forward to today and I was up and doing chores around the house. Got the first color coat rolled on the walls. Looks good. I will do a second coat later. We were changing from a vibrant red to a more subtle gray. Wife is happy so that's all that matters. Caught up on the past week of chats. Seems like everyone is doing well. Cold, but well. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |
