Sunday - night
The new mower works great - after figuring out how to start the thing. It wouldn't start, I couldn't find a choke so I called the dude that sold it to me, who immediately told me where the choke was and that fired the thing right up...
Spent a lot of Saturday running the tractor up and down the driveway. Every time it rains, like a good down pour and especially if it's several days in a row, the driveway gets trashed. I also started clearing a mound of dirt, it's about 30X20 in size. The tractor can do it but it's going to take a minute.
I am off work until Wednesday. We went to church and Applebee's today but after that, nothing besides doing the dishes. Tomorrow Taylor and I are going to the oldest boy's field trip over in Tyler. Some sort of place with all kinds of things such as bowing, zip lining, arcade, etc. I went to one of the younger's field trips so I just thought it would be cool to go to the oldest's.
The youngest is now jealous and was throwing a hissy fit earlier - he wants to go and if he doesn't get his way? Temper tantrum. He has always thought that he is equal to adults and that he should be able to do everything adults do - except the working part of course. He won't do that, tho he is forced to do chores. I have offered him to earn money on many occasions, he works for 2 minutes and says he quits, doesn't want to do it anymore. Anyway, he isn't getting his way, obviously, he's going to school tomorrow and that is that.
James has the meter and panel assembly installed. Which reminds me, I need to pay him for his work.
The wait continues for the permit for the septic to be approved (hopefully anyway) by the state and the power company said it's a 2 week lead time for the engineer to come out. And after they come out, I will need to get a contractor over there to hook a line from the power pole to the meter assembly - that's not cheap. This is why I didn't do this myself before, I simply didn't have the money, but now that I do, we are green lighting this thing. I've turned even more people away in the last several days....long term.
I still need to spend a few more hours working on the driveway. I have Tuesday off as well so that's probably what I'm going to be doing with it, over there moving dirt and finishing the driveway. Again, lol.
It's mother's day and I obviously called my mom and wished her a happy day. The flowers I sent her near 2 weeks ago finally dried out, but she says they still look good. One of the my brothers sent fresh flowers as well so she has nicely fresh flowers and what she says is good looking dried out flowers.
That's it. I'm tired, stayed up way too late last night and woke up too early this morning, time to think about heading to bed.
