20 degrees/cloudy/windy

Pentoga Road

I knew the temperature was going to drop, but this is harsh. Stepping in back of the woodshed this morning reminded me that winter isn't surrendering willingly. That being said, this Easter weekend's forecast calls for highs to be in the mid to upper 60's with plenty of sunshine.

Yesterday's jaunt to Green Bay was pleasantly uneventful. We left mid morning and enjoyed a burger at the halfway point, fuel to power us through the day.

Stops were made at all the usual big box stores. Thankfully, I didn't find too many things that I couldn't live without. I even made a quick trip to Harbor Freight and left without buying anything. 

We arrived home late last evening with enough time to go to town and get the Kia from Dave. Once the air conditioning pump and sway bar bushings arrive, he'll install those and we can call that part of the Kia's yearly revitalization project finished. Next week will see the purchase of new front tires and a front end alignment. 

I need to begin grinding and sanding away the rust that is quickly spreading over the car. As I told Sargie, I can make it look passable for the summer and into next winter, but the metal cancer is bad enough that making the car look decent will be an every six month job from now until it's eventual demise. We'll drive it until it dies, then kick it a few times just to make sure there's still not a mile or two left in the old compact car. It's served us well.

I'm going for my walk at first light this morning. I heard rumors that Yooper Brother Mark's daughter and granddaughter, Sarah and Isabella, are stopping by for a visit. It'll be good to see my former student and the munchkin.

I told Sargie I have to get out to the shop to finish the Easter project I've been working on. It's a busy time in which we live.

After all, a man's job is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...

On a shopping mission in Green Bay. 

Hold on Sargie, I can't keep up!
