Replaced fuel pump on my 52 Chevy. Mowed the grass, about 2 acres worth; then trimmed and blew off driveway and around back patio. Made homemade pizza for dinner.
Early AM wake up to declutter the house and pick up rugs ahead of monthly cleaning service,
I got home a couple of hours ago from my bike ride. The wife went out a bit later for a walk with one of her girl friends and forgot she left a pot of eggs cooking on the stove. By the time I got home the house was full of smoke from rotten burning eggs that exploded on the stove. I could barely see across the rooms. At first I thought the house was burning up. Nothing like exploded burning eggs on the stove top and that sulfur like smell.
I shut the cats in the back of the house and started opening as many doors and windows as I could, turned off the air conditioner, and turned on every fan in the house. Tried to get in touch with my wife but no luck and left messages.
It is a couple of hours later now and the smoke is finally gone but the smell lingers. Turned the air condition back on, shut all the windows, turned on a dehumidifier (its amazing how humid it is on the Florida coast. About 80+% today), and Febreeze sprayed the entire house.
When wife got home she was sorry and I made a point of not saying anything more. Didn't want any more excitement. Think I'll have an early morning beer.
Cheers!
LOL I had to lol at this because my DD does similar every Thursday evening when she is picking up DGD from us. She has to get home to "clean up" because the cleaners are coming tomorrow.
street, I like your sense of style, its a bold choice to put an ironing board in the corral. It reminds me of the rodeo stunt where they play poker while a mean bull charges around knocking the contestants down till only one remains seated.
The young wife and I took out the roadster for spin today. It was a bright, sunny day. If it had been about 5 degrees cooler, it would have been perfect. Anyway, the Z3 is running well and I am happy. We stopped for lunch at the Griswold Inn located in Essex, Connecticut. It is the oldest continuously operating inn in the USA, having initially opened its doors in 1776 and remaining open ever since. Then we went to the Lyman Allyn Art Museum in New London. We stopped at our own garden plot on the way home to pick some Silver Queen corn for dinner. Tenderloin on the grill, steamed corn and a caprese salad made with mortgage lifter tomatoes and basil also from our garden. Mmmm good!
Sounds like you are getting the boat in tip top condition. Have you planned another cruise?Went out to home depot and bought a 12g extension cord and a 30A plug so I can plug the electric pressure washer into the dock power at the marina. Don't get much water on the boat under the roof, but a lotta dust from the commercial ag operation across the levee.
Also bought a sheet of nice plywood to make a replacement top for the rotted out cover on the aft deck storage space. Got it cut in half the long way as the cover is 51 inches long, quarter sheet don't fit. Gonna laminate it with white gloss to match the bin.
Tonight will be ribeye's and portabellas on the barbee and corn on the steamer.
