Saturday Morning Ramblings

Here I sit in a semi-quiet household, Kiwi and Peanut are brainstorming a concept of how they can build and plumb a sliding board / water slide in the back yard. I think this is more of a Kiwi thing as Peanut doesn't like to get wet and Kiwi likes to get in his jacuzzi and splash around. Peanut just wants to keep the peace and is looking for something to do, so she is helping. 

It was an eventful week this week, one morning I topped off the oil in Pearl before Michelle went to work, I had bought a new funnel the day before and it had a rubber band wrapped around a hole at the top of it (it was attached to a 5 quart thing of oil) and I decided to use it. I topped Michelle's car off and I'll be damned if that rubber band did not come undone, get into the funnel and before I could grab it went right into the engine. I could see it, just didn't have a tool to retrieve it. Long story short I had it towed to Hartsell's Auto Shop, and Brian reached in with a pick tool and pulled it out for me. He charged me nothing to do that, but I'm also sticking the car in the shop on Tuesday so he can fix a few things on it. I do have towing on my insurance, so I was re-imbursed for the towing. 

You may notice that there are a number of commercial tractor-trailers around town this weekend. The High Point Nationals are this weekend. Traffic may be a little heavier than what we are used to for the weekend with some many people visiting the area. 

No other plans for us outside of what we normally do on weekends. 

Haver yourselves a great day, make some special memories.
