I may complain about the lack of engagement on most of my social media. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the response I got when I posted the before and after photos of the work recently done on our roof.
It didn’t come cheap that’s for sure, especially since they had to remove asbestos before they could go to work installing the roof. It was also fairly noisy but honestly, not too bad. I will say, however, that my folks and I are glad the work is done.
The next home improvement project on the list is to replace the back porch. I spent some time on Saturday afternoon ripping up some of the existing porch. My folks always take the lead on the construction but I’ve learned something about myself is assisting them:
When it comes to building stuff, I’m not your guy, but when it comes to ripping up stuff, hand me a hammer and crowbar and let me at it!
So this week – even with it being a short week, sure was busy at King’s as we had two major announcements:
(1) Vaccines will be mandatory for students in residence
(2) King’s will raise the Progress Pride flag on June 1
I don’t buy a lot of stuff through Facebook Marketplace. (Really, it’s been three occasions.) This week, however, I saw one of my ” ” cars: Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s 1997 Daytona 500 car. It was a 1:32 scale so I’m still looking for a 1:24 version. However, the version I have looks awesome. Well, as awesome as a diecast representing a car that hit the wall at almost 200 mph, flipped over, destroyed most of the right front fender and tore off the back deck lid can look.
Meanwhile, with the Indy 500 this afternoon and the Coca-Cola 600 tonight, I will be watching a fair bit of racing today. Hope to see James Hinchcliffe win Indy and Chase Elliott win at Charlotte.
Until next time, stay safe and stay healthy.
