Happy Valentine’s Day
We hope everyone is having a good day! It was another long week but this one should be better. My work was a little more under control this last week, but not much. Amazing how doing a bunch of new things can make it so hard to get caught up and develop a routine. My work load seems very high right now, the good news from there is the plant’s workload is picking up. Hopefully that trend can maintain itself through the year. I will eventually get this figured out, for now it is every day of putting out fires and hoping to keep the next one from starting.
More good news for us was that we had snow, but not the snow Milwaukee, or the East Coast received. So I had plenty of exercise moving snow but it certainly was manageable. The mornings have still been very cold though, most of last week was near zero or below. This week they are predicting a little warmer weather, staying well above that zero mark.
We are preparing the basement for a plumber to come in on Tuesday. I broke down and hired someone to move our laundry tub and washer hook up. I could do it but probably take more hours than needed. And I have not had much extra time. The most time will be spent putting the drain pipe together to go into the unit our downstairs toilet sits on. From there an ejector pump pumps it up so it can go out the sewer pipe. One of those projects I have been thinking of and is getting closer to needing to be done. And we will have the ejector pump replaced. 20 years of pumping shit up hill has to take its toll. And as the plumber said, it is much easier to replace on your own terms than when they go out when most needed!
So hopefully that gets done and then we head out of town on Wednesday. Wednesday afternoon down to Milwaukee and fly out to West Palm Beach. 10:30 Wednesday night we should be in West Palm with Bev and Wally. Looking forward to it! Floridians, break out the sun! So you will hear from us on how the weather is!
I-pod is charged, tickets are on the counter, camera ready to go. Have yourself a great week.
Have a great trip! We are extremely jealous, the snow just keeps falling inch by inch in the twin cities. I’ve been pretty busy and stressed out at work myself, especially with new management on the scene which makes everyone a little nervous. At least we don’t have to deal with home repairs, but I suspect Andria feels the nesting instinct creeping on – she wants to start looking at open houses on weekends.
You’ve been much more prolific with your blog posts that us, we will have to start catching up!
Thanks! The winter has to be really long for you two! You will have to tell me about new management some day. And yes, as you get closer to June (we are actually) you will have to do more updates. Location, location, location, buy next store to a brewery and restaurant.
