What a week

Had a busy Thursday - I had the day off and worked on a big project- had bee's in the fireplace flu - they had a Hive completely blocking the intake. I will post picture of it soon. I started the project about 9 am got done at 2 pm- It was a pain getting the cap off. it was ty-vacked in and the J-channel was holing it in, and it is about 12 feet off the uneven ground . I backed the truck up and put my little giant ladder on it and went to work Up and Down up and Down at least 50 times, I had to scrape and pull the hive pieces out with a bent up cloths hanger - then Vacuum with the Kirby then wipe with soap and water and that was not easy, i left the inner flu connected to the cap other wise I would have had to buy some high heat sealer that is hard to work with and the n reconnecting it would also be a challenge with those heights, and I would have eventually needed help, so I maneuvered around it which was difficult, all in all it is all back to norm all, I will be covering tit next spring when I turn the pilot off, the manf. told me to leave the pilot light on and it wont happen- But that has to be costly leaving it on for 6-8 months until we use it again.
Anyway I got the porch furniture put away , my motorcycle down stairs, and a few other things done in the garage, I also worked on cleaning up the winter storage shed, made room for my dads wood splitter in the out shed and got hoses and sprinklers ready for winter too. The my sister Ang came over for supper. Jen made cheesy chicken tortilla soup- it was good.

Friday after work we went to the Perham Fire Dept BINGO at the Lakeside in Perham, I won a bingo but draw a 5 because there were two other bingo's also. I got chips and licorice- Jen won a door prize 5 coffees at wild goose and a $25 gift certificate a cottages crap shop in Perham.
Had a good time- Travis and Heidi Happel won a lamp and a turkey breast, so we dropped it off at their place on the way home. Grace talked the whole way home after spending the evening at Grandma and grandpa Dolls.
It looks to be a busy Saturday I am working and have a few appointments in the morning - I will be heading to Tony's Y Not party at his place in Moorhead later tonight- Jen and grace are not going because Jen is on Call for Emanuel this weekend-
Enjoy--

Busy day

Busy day today, working with Internet customers, researching available vehicles and answering questions, meet a few new people today, it was a good day.
I have fire training tonight for the Frazee Fire Dept. we are doing a "barn burn" literally, I believe it is at Charlie Maves place, but I could be wrong, I will be late getting there cause I don't get done with work till 6 and I think that's when they start.
Angela is coming over on Thursday night to stay and then look into ordering a new car for next year. I am looking forward to seeing her and Grace interact.
Grace is walking better and better on her own every day. i think she will be able to get up in her crib soon. she said "Deer" for the first time last night it was exciting she saw them in the driveway before I got home and then wanted to show me where they are out back too. i spooked them when I came home and she could not figure out where they went.
Have a dry day.

Another Tuesday

Hey, Just finished setting up my blog, FYI I am at work at Norseman Motors and just got done looking at a new to me pre-owned vehicle on our lot.
Wow you should see this Hummer H3 we just took into stock- what a cool vehicle
Jen is supposed to go out with some friends tonight, so Grace and i will be hang en out alone!
She got her 15 month shots today- (only two)
She seems to take pain real well, I think her feelings cause her more pain that a poke of a needle.
Enjoy the dry weather for now it sounds like rain again on Friday.
