Paint n Paper

Home Improvements
Watch it transform from hell hole to hovel.  It's amazing what a little paint n paper will do... ok and some tiles.

Day 89

Posted 6/8/2020

Day EightyNine: Getting sick of this COVID BullShit... Starting to get reports in on next seasons ringette/hockey... they all ready have plans to fuck up the complete year... Ringette will have no games or tournaments until the year 2021... I just got an email from hockey, started to read it and it's looking like... Nope not going to read any father... only going to make me mad... then I will be up all night making angry post about hockey and stuff... Lawson and I worked on the Minecraft server for a little bit, he couldn't decide what he wanted for breakfast and I couldn't decide it I wanted to actually stand up... so Minecraft it was... by 10am I broke down and made him egg mcMuffins (no I don't give a shit about infringements on the Mc thing it was egg, cheese, butter on an English mcfucking muffin)... actually it was 2 eggs and real cheese so it was nothing like those shitty little breakfast sandwiches the Clown sells... Hmm... seem I may be in a foul mood tonight... maybe the shitty rainy cold weather is just made me more sore than normal. After breakfast I went back out to the garage. Fought with the lathe again... no adjustment in the motor placement was a bad idea... I changed the holes to slots so I could align different gears and different length belts... I need longer bolts, the belt is a little tight... I need a proper switch, the one for the lights sucks, pretty much burnt it out just testing things, going to get a proper safety kill switch on Wednesday, and longer bolds... maybe a new belt as well, can't see this old crappy one lasting very long... As to where my collection of tools/chisels and whatnot went, that's another story... I looked for those some today... I've seen them recently, just not sure where... in the garage I found that 4th tire for SideKick, he came by and rescued it... and some crutches... they helped me get around for a bit as my legs gave out... and I found that for some reason... I don't throw out boxes... almost like I've been saving them for when the box fairy comes and takes them and leaves money under my pillow... haven't got any money and she's not taking away my boxes... fuck the bitch, I'm going to use them for kindling. And those plastic totes... I must have 20-30 of the large ones... lids missing... broken... mismatched... and coolers... I could put the fixings for a 2 month long picnic in the coolers I own... Once I get rid of all my portable storage compartments I will actually have room for all my shit... WAIT, most of my shit is portable storage compartment... seems like I will have no need for storage and have a lot of it... I think that's kinda like money and time... when you have time you have no money and when you have money you have no time. The boy played Xbox with his friends all day, he should have likely been doing his home work, I think there is online class tomorrow. Heather made it home late, I was still in the garage looking for tools. There was none... must be inside someplace. Oh and I found a filing cabinet... with books and paperwork in it from at least 15 years ago... pretty sure we didn't need any of those either... lol, come to think of it... the cabinet is another box that I've collected... come to think of it there are 3 more in the basement and another in my bedroom... all just boxes where documents go to die... can't say I've ever found anything once it disappears into the boxish void... Yes Heather came home and made Pizza, and practiced her Sax, and complained about engineers because that's what geologist do. Sounds like the bearings are still loose on sidekicks car... going to have to tighten then up some tomorrow... might just fix the speedo problem. Should have actually bought a new nut for the job but some things are budget constrained and you try to make due with what you have... torquing the nut down was impossible since it took more tork to actually turn the nut that was recommended for the actually tightness... hope cheaping out doesn't leave us doing the whole job over again. Tired... going to look at the Minecraft server.

We’ve had a lot of time lately and no money to get any of the jobs done we need. Everything (including me) is falling apart lately and last week of school thank god!
