Work Day

Yesterday was "work day" at Shawn and Stacey's house. Gerry and Shawn schedule these at alternating homes about once a month. So, yesterday, as we had our first freezing rain turning to snow storm, they worked in S's garage replacing the innards of his snow blower and repairing his lawn mower. Guess he is ready for all contingencies now. They also installed four cabinets in the laundry room (which Stacey's father found for her, but did not install). We always make jokes about our friends who help us start a project (i.e buy the cabinets) but then have to go home. We have a group of friends in Illinois who are notorious for this. Of course we reciprocate when we visit. I worked hard interacting with K.

I might add that we took a trailer with a drill press for Shawn. Gerry thought he could get along with 3 or 4 for himself. We then picked up used motor oil (for furnace in shop - see previous blog), and a riding lawn mower another friend no longer wanted (and was thankful Gerry would be his method of disposal). Oh, S and S gave me four boxes of rocks (again a convenient disposal method). I plan to use them as edging around flower beds. They still have a garbage can full of sand. Let's see, how can I use that?
