Giving a shout out to all my fans in Jaerkmahnistan. This one's for you.
6:00 Alarm goes off. Hit snooze only once.
6:15 Get out of bed, feeling chipper and bright eyed. Look for my pants, wonder why I don't put them in a easy place to find.
6:25 Go downstairs. Eat breakfast, vanilla frosted mini wheats. Read a few chapters of Appaloosa. Pack lunch.
6:50 Start truck. Struck by the fact that a day that was supposed to be +7 and sunny, was shaping up to feel a lot like -12 and snowy. Thanks, Dunphy.
7:26 Arrive at site. First one there.
7:31 Del arrives. We complain about the weather, and head straight for the basement.
7:46 Adam arrives. I am not complaining, but see what happens when I don't pick him up. He loses control of his life, and can't tell time. Just sayin'.
7:46-10:47. Converse in the basement. Talk about politics and religion, the latest breaking news and sports. Someone should get a camera there and tape us. They would have an award winning talk show on their hands. It would be like The View, just slightly more manly. And good.
10:48 Realize that time has slipped us by, and that Jake would be pissed if he ever found out that we wasted all morning talking, not working, yet still billing him for the hours. Dodged that one, though.
10:50 Roll out. Keep sheeting walls. Stand the last of the trusses. Once the trusses were stood, we were able to get going on the fascia and the hidden eaves trough.
11:16 Del's phone rings. It is deep in one of his pockets under his many layers, so he misses the call. People from the street thought he was just doing a sexy dance.
11:17 Phone rings. It's Jake. Wondering if Del's phone was dead, or in his truck. I assured him that Del did everything in his power to answer it.
11:26 Jake asks me the question that he was going to ask Del. I answer it.
11:30 Bid farewell to Jake.
12:30 Lunch. Leftover pizza. An apple, some teddy grahams, a banana, a no name granola bar that wasn't all that good, and some water.
1:30 Back to work. Del finishes off 70 lineal feet of fascia and hidden eaves trough. I Start working on the hips.
2:26 Adam's phone rings. It's Mitch. He's pulling out of the deal. To bad buddy, Adam is keeping those goats, and I get the coupon.
2:30-4:30 Work work. Work work work.
4:30 "rrroooroooooolllllll uuuuuuuuuuppppp" Del whispered. He inhaled a snowflake just before he "yelled".
4:45 Start driving home.
5:15 Arrive home, to a delicious spinach and artichoke dip!
5:30 Eat supper. Pasta Rose. Thanks Snookums. Also, raspberry pizazz juice.
7:06 Feed son snack.
7:23 Give son bath.
8:00 Put son to bed
8:45 Check weather forecast. -23 with windchill and 5-10 cm of snow. Awesome.
9:53 Write this line.
10:00 eat more spinach dip.
10:15 Shower
10:30 Go to bed.
P.S. Anyone who wants to buy a Skyline, call Todd at 403-555-5785.
P.P.S. If I sell your car Adam, you owe me 30%.
P.P.P.S. Don't be mad at me, we are in a recession. A man's gotta make money where he can. Besides, I am giving you a deal, normally I charge 63% when I sell cars. So change your tone, mister.
