Tired Thursday: Ended up working the register all day today so got little done in the store. Closed it up at 5 on…

Got to finish clearing around the 1 ton as it’s been sold and is almost half way to paid for. Got to get the Toyota cranked and moved too.

Cut as close to the trucks in the field as I could get. Got to put the boom on the tractor and get in there and remove stuff to get closer.

Also got the drive all the way to the road from gate to gate cut as well as the path into the tractor shed and the old trailer front yard.

Got a fair amount done. Old air soft parking lot is cut for the greatest part. Still got places I need to clear of crap prior to cutting.

Tractor cranked. Had part of a tank of fuel. Hooked bush hog up and been killing things till it got too dark for me to safely work.

Will tweet more when we return. Later folks… 😉

Almost ready to head out to pay bills and take more stuff to Calcis. With the rain promises to be a long day mostly on the road. 🙁

Sunday: Made the trip to Calcis and on down to Harpersville and beyond. Did some buying at the fleamarket down th…

stuff, some screws, and about a thousand comic books. The last was sold about an hour later and didn’t make it back with us.

Got a pair of andirons, a chair, 2 sets of coke glasses, a couple of tea pots, 2 planes, a couple of corning ware pans, bunch of woodworking

Prior to going to Calcis we went on down to the Shelby County Flea Market about 5 miles below Harpersville where we got quite a few things.

Got to make another run to Calcis tomorrow as in the hurry to leave this morning we forgot to load the cold stuff up to take. 🙁

Still got to cook supper, and trying to figure out what to fix that’s quick, easy, and not something I’ve already done this week.

Back from the south and north. And most glad to be home where shoes and clothes are optional. Been a long, productive, and lucrative day.

Another cup of coffee is calling, as is the shower. Tweet more later or later, so till later folks… 😉

Guess we should go by WW and get another bottle of black paint. Or just wait till evening as there is plenty to keep us busy without it.

Tried painting one yesterday but the brush was not good and though the sign turned out better than I expected twas worse than I would use.

Found box of brushes so maybe the next coat on the table will be a bit smoother. Will also try my hand at painting signs for the store.

Once again doing the late supper thing. Bits in the microwave now which just dinged at me, so back in a few.

Need to go and start supper. Back in a bit…

actually use them to work on a bit. Have about 2 truck loads of stuff that needs to come back here. Will get it out and moved back asap.

Also got some shelves put up in the work area. Still got more to put up but tis a start and has let me clear the work benches off enough to

Along with some spray lacquerer for a finish/seal coat. Got the lights in the warehouse hooked back up so is much easer to work there now.

Looks like the antique white paint is close enough to work. The gold was too bright so went to WW after work and got the antique gold.

Got the rattan ring nailed and glued down and the first coat of paint on the lamp table.

about what to do with the other shelving and stuff. Got a lot of other stuff that will have to be done too but getting there slowly.

rearranging the entire place. Display cases will come to the front room between the doors to use as a desk/counter area. Still thinking

Guess I need to get the daily blog post done first.

Oh, and before I forget it again, want to say – May the Forth be with you… 😉

Will make the trip north but if I continue to feel this bad may come home early again. Think my summer seasonal feel bad is starting early.

Hoping this cup of coffee starts the blood moving. Need to get moving and having a hard time doing so. Gonna shower and eat and then see.

correct it. Course on the way down this morning I saw one fence built with cross tie posts that was down from the amount of flowing water.

Am getting coffee and then heading to Piedmont. Most of the mess in the entry way is drying at least some. Have got to find the cause and

Back home. They didn’t need near the # of jurors that got notices and were being lenient about excuses to not serve.

Gonna check the incoming flow one more time and then try to get another hours sleep, so till the morn (I hope) folks…

I need to take some time here to finish up some of the many projects which include underpinning the trailer so this can’t happen any more.

Been soaking it up and bailing the sump hole for nearly an hour now. Got it slowed to a trickle and now the rain is picking up again.

Came down to pee and found water in the floor. First time in several years, and had to be tonight so I can get even less sleep.

Sunday: We got out for a bit and did some looking at things at a couple of antique shops. Got a few things at one…

And I have got to get up early in the morning to get Cat to Piedmont in time to get back to Anniston before 8:30 to report for Jury duty.

Was well worth the trip and time. Rain has just started coming down pretty good. Looks like it will be a long night of it.

Looking at the invoice noted that we got a ceramic art box piece and a book along with 9 pieces of glass. Nice haul and good stuff!

Just looked at the invoice and the name is Timeless Treasures Antique Mall. Some of the stuff was too high but some was quite reasonable.

with nothing. Second place was just around the corner at the Antique Mall where we got several pieces of glass at really good prices.

Went to a couple of antique places on 78 in Oxford this afternoon. First place was Apple Barrel Antiques and after a couple of hours left

Tired of messing with temp shelter for this crap. For now am thinking about cleaning up a bit and heading out for a bit. Till later…

but if what I did doesn’t work am gonna tear it all down, move the piles, and build a new shed to keep the stuff in.

Did a bit of preventive rework on the temp shed out back to hopefully reduce the water buildup on the roof. Might should have done more

Got the truck unloaded. Outside part of the woodburner’s flue removed and the through the wall bit capped off prior to removal.

Twas a Saturday: Got out early and got Cat set up on the square in Jacksonville for the Living Museum on the Squar…

And played a little music. Speaking of which http://old.thesixtyone.com/thecogisdead/#/thecogisdead/songs/new/ is great!

Finally got the upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 finished about 2 hours ago. So far everything seems to be working fine, though have only browsed.

Need to sell some of the larger items so we can move around again. Anyway, tis late and I need to hit the sack, so till tomorrow… 😉

Whole place is a bit of a mess right now as with the additional 2 truckloads of stuff have really filled it up to overflowing.

Long day is done. Hoping to get more done tomorrow, including getting some of the shelving put up in the work room in the back.

Gonna try again tomorrow to get more done on the table. Got carpet/upholstery cleaner on the way home today to clean the recliner tomorrow.

But considering the 12+ totes of small stuff we got much progress has been made. Got a fair amount of the broken stuff fixed and priced.

Long day almost done. Got most of the rest of the stuff from the estate sale priced and put out today. Still got +-200 pieces left to price.
