A/C goes in :-) possibly to use next year

Saturday, today is my sweet baby sisters birthday, I wish her all the happiness and health in the world, love you Mandy Pandy XOXO

I woke up at 9 but thought lets try for a few more winks and it took a 10 am phone call to wake me! NICE! Been some time and well needed. I eventually got out to the garage to sand the hole filling repairs and such. Britt of course was up much later but she stayed home when I headed to town on the search for a washer hose. The sun was even out now, YEAH!

I needed to dump trash too which was stop #1. At the recycle depot I sorted plastic, left and took a few treasures before setting out to get the hose. It seems the appliances were recently squished and piled in a mountain. I found a newer front loader type (which I would love for horse blankets) but the hose would not release. I found one other I could get to and removed it easily but it was filthy so back to the new one. I asked an attendant for a knife to chop it off at the back but he insisted on helping to remove. He took off 10 screws, bent open the back revealing it went in even farther as suspected. I found the clamp but again he insisted we go for a different one which I said looked to be to the motor but whatever. Seems I was right and once I borrowed his pliers I removed it but not before a spay of rusty water covered my arm lol. A tie wrap had it still hooked and as he hmmmed and hawed I again grabbed the pliers and poled id back thru to release it all. Whew, time to go and grab a hot tea and some small tidbit to eat. Tims, here I come. 

As luck would have it the bathrooms were closed for cleaning but once opened up and I scrubbed my grubby appliance repair girl hands I got my tea and chicken snack wrap and was on my way to Rona for a furniture building few parts. The rain started in town so time to head home.. of course it was not raining there. The A/C guys had arrived and were installing our new system.

While they worked away Britt cleaned out the Chev for the 6 pm viewing while I unloaded treasures. I scrubbed up the old hose after finding the newer version was wayyyyyyy to long and had a slightly bigger diameter!! Of course right? But once I man handled it the washer back into the spot after scrubbing the outside and finding the cord to short to outlet, the machine filled with water but all the dials were faded and unable to read what was what , heard the tub had a wee knock and saw too much crud pumped up I decided maybe I will keep looking!

 Dan overcame his fear of Diego!

Time to scrub the bed frame brought yesterday too, sure wished I had water in the shop (wink wink). The A/C guys finished up and soon after leaving the couple showed up to check out and test drive the truck. Fairly busy day at the ranch yet again. 

Oh my the funny things you see when refinishing, like artwork and carvings!

Britt fed Scooter her med mash and scrubbed up pots and pans all in exchange to go out of course. Happy birthday Brooke, this is my gift.. Britt attending your party hahahaha! She was off to the party stopping to exchange an item to me prior to... 

I took this as she headed out. A sight I LOVE, long missed sun and it setting! I can never get enough of this view but sad it is getting earlier each night ;-(
