4:30PM
Just returned home from the Springfield Swap Meet.
The Suburban does really good on long road trips.
You wouldn't think it would being so big, so heavy
and having a v8 motor in it. We were down to 1/8th
tank of gas so put $15 gas
in it at $1.85 a gallon (ouch-only 8 gallons of gas) before leaving and made it to Springfield
and back and that was with a large cooler and picnic
stuff loaded up in the back end.
Round trip to Springfield and back is 111.06 miles.
I still have 1/8th tank left.
We found a couple things we were looking for
there.
2 swivel wheels for gate $1.50 each
compared to $10.00 each at lowes.
Socket for Tony that he's been needing
for work $3.00.
Don't know what these go for.
1974 Dodge Chassis Service Manual $20.00
These go for $70 to $100+ on Ebay!!
Kenowa Jump Starter with light,
air compressor, cord to recharge,
also has adapter for car $5.00.
The guy had $10 on it and went to $5.00.
This goes for $50 to $90!!
I know I bought my step-dad one
a couple years ago.

Well I am bummed. I haven't received my sales
ads yet. Was hoping to get home and find
them hanging on the door.
Soo, time for me and Tony to go get the kitchen
cleaned up. Yippee!

Jonathan came up with a great
way to have our back screen door close behind us.
He put a bungee cord on it.
So many times the kids forget to shut
this storm door and it will bang and
clang outside driving me nuts.
If you enlarge it you will see several
holes in the door where the door closure
used to be but we removed it because
it didn't work too well.
This was from the last owner of the house.
We were going to try to put in
another one but are unsure with
all those stripped out holes
of where to even screw a new
one in.
So good job Jonathan with
fixing it with the bungee.
Considering he is usually the one who
forgets to close the door!
See they are learning.
If ya can't afford to fix something
with new, then Macgyver it!
8:00pm
Well y'all it's been fun for today.
Think I'm gonna head to the bedroom to watch some tv and pass out!
I think Tony's trying to kill me with all these plans on the weekends! I've had my fair share of exercise for today with
all the walking we did!
I told him he's long overdue for a quilt show
or some girlie thing! LOL!
Ahhh, then laundry day is tomorrow!
Oh yeah, I suddenly got even more tired.
Nighty Night!
