It has officially started. A brand new
year is usually not something I particularly pay attention to but if
I want to play with the big kids online I have to think differently.
I work at a motorcycle resort for seven months in the summer. In the
winter, when I am laid off it is a bit timeless. Most of the time I
have no idea what day it is! Ha!
Most years it is fairly warm until the end of December and then the temperature drops. By the middle of
February it is so darn cold, my DH and I automatically pack the truck
and head for SW Florida to see the kids. We are particularly looking
forward to it this year as we had so many health issues last year we
missed our trip.
The weather outside is frightful. We
are socked in low lying clouds and we are right on the freezing point
so it isn't rain, it's glop-ping down.
As I passed through the shop I snapped
a photo of a project I am almost finished with.
My husband lugged it into the shop and
put it on the table. He cleaned it, oiled and waxed it. He spent some time polishing the chrome and while it isn't perfect it sure looks shiny. Then he handed it
over to me to adjust and rewire. He is a competent electrician but
his big hands make it hard to do fiddly little electrical connections
that involve soldering. At first I was going to reattach the hardware on the case with new screws like the ones that came out but I decided that since the wood had been through enough, I went and got small bolts, washers and nuts to put it back on with to make it stronger. Then all I have to do is touch up the heads with black paint to match and it will be done. What are you doing on this first day of the year?
Enjoy yourself, I heard it sets the tone for the coming year.
Hugs, Sue
