Busy Weekend

Saturday we slept in and then got busy around the house. I used our new vacuum and tested it out. It designed specifically for pet hair. I have to say it works really well. We went to Lake Manawa Sailing Club for our friend Pat's 40th birthday party. We got there a little after noon and hung out there until about 4. Kelli got to go sailing on Pat's sail boat with Amy and Stacey. Us boys stayed back and drank beer and ate lunch. I went over to Tom's parents house for the Nebraska game at 6.
Sunday we slept in again. We were supposed to do a bike ride (bicycle) but decided not to because of the 30mph wind gusts. I went down to the garage to put the gas tank back on my Jeep. I had pulled it to put in a new fuel sending unit, but the part I ordered did not fit my tank so I decided to just deal with the gas gauge not working. I needed to get it running and get it out of the garage. Once it was out I had some cleaning to do so I swept up all the cob webs, dirt and crap that had accumulated over the last year. I got my shop smith out and started on my next project. I'm making a washer game. I had to made two octagon shaped boxes out of 2x4s. I could have cut corners and made it on the cheap, but I wanted to make it look nice and professional. So I'm sanding it, painting it, putting carpet in the bottom of it, and making it so the boxes will clip together to be able to carry. I'm going to take them down with us in a couple weeks when we go to Kansas City for the NASCAR race.
