“The only difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to be credible.    – Mark Twain”

I am beginning to think that moving companies don’t have a clue. I’m really losing respect for that business.  I got a phone call this morning from the truck driver that was supposed to deliver my  pool table. I say supposed to because it seems that he wasn’t sure how to take the table weighing 1000 lbs off the truck. My first question was “How did you get on a truck that doesn’t have tailgate lift?” The second question was “How did the company expect you to deal with it?” & “How is this my problem?” I figure the company was hired to delivery to my door they should at least be able to get the damn thing off the truck & in good shape. So now I await the delivery & or a phone call explaining what’s happening.

Sheesh …. well not the words I would normal use but this isn’t the place to use those ones.

Speaking of not working … my right arm isn’t working properly yet. I was trying to add a 2 x 10 to the side of the ramp my friend & I just completed for some cosmetic additions & the drill I was using to screw in the 3″+ deck screws just wasn’t up to snuff. Anyway I was forcing the drill too hard & something snapped in my shoulder & bicep muscles … it was like I got shot or severely stabbed. The long & the short of it is that the drill really needs upgrading. Fortunately Home Hardware had a nice sale on the Dewalt 18v cordless so I bought it. A week of sitting around unable to do anything … writing, cutting & dicing veggies & meats, has made me become a SouthPaw. Today, a week & hald after the injury was the first day I have been able to use the keyboard  with both hands. Not for long sentences but hey, it’s a start, right?  But one thing I decided it was definitely time for a new drill;

The new one is on the left & the old one is on the right

On a happy note Pam has been making apple sauces & such with this year’s harvest …

ripe for the picking ...

… fall is not only in the air but showing it’s colours.

the fall colours are showing & Molly is searching for ....
