OK, I think I can say for sure that spring is here. Tulips are coming up now, and there isn’t any more snow in the forecast. I know, I said that last month and look what happened! It was actually +20 C yesterday, a far cry from the -20 C three weeks ago. The gardens are ready for planting, even have some grape plants in the ground and hoping they will grow well this summer.
The composter yielded some great soil almost to the very top of the container, the first time in several years since I started it. There’s hope for me yet!
Only six home improvement projects line up for this summer! When you own a home, there’s always something to do. The biggest hurdle is finding the time to fit everything in. I wonder how we ever got anything accomplished when we had cable TV! I’m so glad we cancelled it years ago. We do enjoy watching DVDs of Macgyver, Hawaii Five-O, Miami Vice, Macleod, Quincy, Kojak, etc. My dad actually met Telly Savalas (Kojak) while on a trip in California years ago. We like the 70s and 80s shows the best. The only time we take a break during the day is to watch an episode of one of those shows, then it’s back to the grind.
Only three more chapters to finish for the 51 High-Tech Practical Jokes book, then the garage cleaning and bike building begins! First on the list is another recumbent, followed by a chopper and tadpole trike. While these are being built, I will learn welding from the guru and work on some trailer designs that I’ve been wanting to build. Wish I could sketch better. I have them worked out in my head, just can’t seem to put them on paper to make sense.
Updated the Builders Gallery over the weekend – a record 23 entries, including 14 choppers! There’s alot of talent and creativity out there. Truly inspiring. Keep up the great work, everyone, and keep sending in those pictures of your completed home built projects to the gallery.
