Broken Stuff

Image
It seems like the last couple weeks is about broken stuff. Angie was rear ended on her way to work. The car is broken. The refrigerator also decided to croak. Trying to catch up, gain back lost ground. We have a new car, very similar to the rudely smashed up car. I had it shipped from Texas. Also have a new a new fridge and backup freezer and fridge. Spring is very sprung. The pollen seems worse that usual this year. In Atlanta we complain about the traffic and the pollen, neither one is really as bad as we say.

I made my first trip ever to the scrap yard and dump since I have been in living in Georgia (3 years). Both scale/yard experiences were a lot more polite than my lifelong experiences up North. Prices are good for scrap non-ferrous, still. It is a good process here except for every transaction they take your picture ...by law... cataloging potential criminals. Overall, I don't mind, because I am not a criminal. Translation: "Its the Weekend!" Thanks to an Angel this is how I started my weekend!

I went flying "solemente" yesterday. I didn't take any pictures. It was very windy/gusty. When it gets like that the flying is absolutely a full time job. Taking pictures aren't on the agenda! My throat was bit dry after I got the plane home safety. Building skills... safely! I had to buy these huge cutlery wall hangings today. They are cast aluminum. If I have a giant extraterrestrial stop by for dinner I am ready to host! I am not usually buying such adornments for my home. I like the regression-factor these huge implements afford. My sister likes to remind me that us Dowdell's (as kids) were very insistent that our toys were all to be in the same scale during a play session.
