WHY??? because I have soooo much to get done before vacation, and I can't finish any of it until I GET MY AXLE BACK. Yep, that's right I still don't have my axle. It is still up at Higbee's...😡 why? Well I called them this week to ascertain that very question.
We're going to back up a little here, Monday was Moe's Monday so I went to eat at Moe's with a buddy of mine. When we got done he and his kids wanted to do a little kayaking so I took them to a lake that I knew was trolling motor only. While they went kayaking I drove up to Higbee's and saw that my axle was in the same place I had put it 👿. Since it was Memorial day I had to wait.... and stew about why it hasn't moved in 2 WEEKS. When I called on Tuesday I asked if they had gotten to it yet, they replied with, "no we can't find spindles"😠. I held my tongue and told them to give me a couple minutes, 5 minutes after I had talked to them I had spindles on order and shipping out. I will let them know when I pick up the axle how upset I was when they hadn't just called me a week ago.
With all that being said I still don't have my axle and am not sure when it will be done. So my vacation after my vacation is now in jeopardy because I NEED MY BOAT. Even if I get my axle before I leave, I won't even have 1 shakeout cruise under my belt before I roll North to De Tour village after vacation.
UUUUGGGGGHHHHH dammit.
I did go fishing with my buddy, we took his kayak and I borrowed my neighbors, we went to my lake for half a day. We didn't do good but I did get one bass before we had to get off, then I caught 1 more from shore. It was a good day. That was all after we spent the morning at my neighbors cutting a couple small trees down and de-rooting them (I did have to go back Wednesday and finish the job.) Speaking bout Wednesday, after I swung an axe and mattocks for 2 hours, Bill and I went to get his pontoon. Then we launched his pontoon and ran it over to where he slips it for the summer. When we went to put in on the boat lift we realized the water was too high and had to get another slip closer to shore. That entailed floating the boat lift over to the new slip, centering it up and putting the pontoon on it. All in all I had a couple hours short of all day running around and fixing Bill's problems. Which I'm not even mad at, we had a good day and got alot done. I didn't have anything planned anyway. 😁
I once again came to the conclusion that I am not 16 anymore. I have the skill just not the strength, or stamina to swing an axe and/or mattocks for hours on end.... and I'm a little sore too.
I guess since I know what awaits me at home I should be happy I got a preworkout.......
Anyway, I had a pretty busy week, but I feel like I got alot done albeit not for me....
Oh, yeah almost forgot...... look at my Rose bush.
