Jack Hammer!


So today a friend and I knocked out the concrete that stands in the way of our plumbing line. My friend's name is Chet and he's a cool kid. I used to work with him a little at Alpine Heating. Anyway, it was really hard at first because we were using a sledge hammer and a steel bar. Then we decided to rent a hammer drill and try to break it up. Then when that was taking forever I finally caved and we rented a real powerful jack hammer! It was awesome!!! I have never run one before and I have to admit it was kinda fun. Boys and their power tools...hehehe. We got rid of the concrete in about 30 minutes which would have taken us at least 2 or 3 hours the way we were doing it before. Which got me to thinking...if we have the right tools in life, it doesn't have to be that hard. Just an interesting thought. Everything is going well on the store and I will keep you posted as we go along. I have never been so busy in all my life. I get to bed before 1:00 (if I'm lucky) and I'm up and going around 6:30 or 7:00. I think I might burn myself out before long. But only a month or so of this and all will be good. 

Holli is making me eat breakfast every morning now. I promised her I would and I tell you, it's hard! I don't like cereal, and I'm too lazy in the mornings to make anything else. I told her that if I could go to Denny's or Smitty's or Perkin's (why are all those possessive? weird...) and eat bacon and eggs and pancakes every morning and hashbrowns and sausage and orange juice and biscuits and gravy or some kind of combination, I would gladly eat breakfast! She didn't go for that. So cereal it is. We'll see how well this goes. Wish me luck! Toodles.
