What are you doing this week?

I can’t edit teaching with the pictures on there I know it’s spelled wrong.
 
You know... I didn't have kids because I enjoy mowing the lawn and don't really mind cleaning so up until now I have't needed the labor. It never crossed my mind that I could teach them to cook though! I hate taking the time to cook nice meals. I'm going to need to talk to the misses about putting one in the oven (pun intended).

I kid. I kid. I know children are not cheap labor. From what I hear they are very expensive. ?

Have fun trying! They're worth every penny. :)
 
- On Sunday, despite knowing better, I tried mowing a little even though it was wet. Ended up mud riding on a zero turn and tearing half my backyard up. If you've never had to winch a 60" cut zero turn out of 8 inches of mud, I suggest you give it a try. The laughs are worth it.

- I installed quick connect fittings on my pressure washer, and started plumbing my shop for air on Monday. Also built a side table out of scraps I had laying around. It turned out pretty well I think.

- I forced my daughter into the storage compartments on the boat to help me check/tighten my tower bolts yesterday.

- Today I'm going to teach her to do an oil change and swap out spark plugs. I'll do one engine and let her do the other. Then I think I'm going to sight in the scope on a .22 cal air rifle I bought almost 2 years ago and haven't even un-boxed yet.

Of course, all this is in-between checking the forum every 5 minutes because I'm tired of playing games on my phone and bored out of my freaking mind.

Table looks good. Are you under orders to stay home? It's 56° out. Why not take the boat for a ride?
 
We're under recommended social distancing. The wife and I own an event decorating company. Since our business depends on large gatherings, and there are no large gatherings, we have had all of our events through April cancel on us. So we've decided to self quarantine and not leave the house.

Its been raining way too much to even think about getting out. With spillways open here in the TN River, the current is pretty swift and the amount of debris in the water in unreal. We do however plan on trying to do some social distancing at the lake tomorrow, it's supposed to be sunny and high 70s - low 80s. I just gotta get the oil and plugs changed first.

The usual, working in my basement office! This has severely limited my once a month trip out to visit customers, but I still support my field team out there making sure everyone has enough Aquafina, Dasani, and Niagara water to purchase!!!
 
I'm liking the decor (Dekalb Seed sign)?
My dad worked for Dekalb Ag for years back in the 80's. Growing up one town over from Dekalb, IL means I grew up with that logo engrained in my very being. This one is a melamine one, keeping my eyes out for a steel one.

Ill look around and see if I can find one for ya down here.(when we can freely move about & interact other than online)
 
Sounds like a plan, let me know I'll be happy to pick it up and drop off a case of whatever payment you like lol. Btw he grew up in Morrison IL not too far from you!
 
Not far at all. Spent a LOT of time in Morrison at my cousins house back in the day.

I think now would probably be a great time they will have a ton of kids there same age to grow up with! I think there’s going to be a pretty big baby boom in Nine months.
i relax now that I’m older but she is 55 and hounds me for it, boy how the tides have turned.
