guess I forgot to clean under my finger nails. a little heavy. got the u-haul for my mom. why am I the designated driver? happens every time. guess I better practice my truck driver jargon. yo there hand how's it looking on the flip side? stuff like that. donkey and such. so tomorrow we load and unload. big do'uns. I better bring my whip in case the workers get unruly. ok I'll bring the small one. oh so tired last night the real night crew came round and they proceeded to repair a water main leak in the street. started about 9 or so. wrapped up about 5:30. that's pm to am. not much sleep for me. jack hammers dump trucks with their beep beep beep beep beep beep beep. so tomorrow is an important day. no pics today mister movie phone recomends the pirate movie. rated arrrhg. file:///Users/richardskeene/Desktop/test.dv

what a day. started off slow. score is the word of the day, perhaps swag. major swag. tools, vintage bonanza lunch box. air compressor with hose. tiny though it is. 3 x-men comics and a gen 13. kerosene lamps. the list goes on, but a cool one for me is some incredible extensions. off the hook. all I had to do for those was make a deadbolt work. natural, like breathing for me. the dice are wooden like the indian. the veo is going to be a cd rack. a cool torque wrench. that man and woman were made in japan but not sure if it was occupied japan. got to check the symbols. noleans japan. not sure. all sitting atop my older than dirt ironing board. all wood. so thats most of the interesting swag.

this my friends is a Texas sized chisel. believe it. its called a big slick. something to fear. don't drop it on your toe. seriously. started the stair thingy. so a before picture should be in order. super roper is in good style. mark mundy is always cooking on friday. knon.org and so today was weird. ther was this kept watching me. I tried to talk to him but he stood there like a wooden soldier. kinda spooky. had a stare that never ended. never spoke. I asked if he diddnt have anything better to do. just kept looking over my shoulder from a distance. I'm not scaired if much. just as long as he left my tools alone you know. so worked through the day and took my before pictures and wheeled around to document his presents. there he stood like a wooden indian never moving. oops I thought the picts would come last. my bad.

what an incredibly difficult day. put in a door to an attic on the third floor. no hand rails in place. took the very heavy door down and cut the new one to fit and somehow carried the solid core door all the way up and it fit wonderfully. I was blessed. I wasn't about to carry it down for another cut. too dangerous. put a new plywood layer on the landing as well. then went to measure another job. wow that is going to be tough. weather strip and associated stuff to get that house ready for the winter winds. the precision will be intense. a t-astragal replacement. that is like surgery. may take a day and 1/2 for the whole job. nice rich folks. lots o stuff coming up. file:///Users/richardskeene/Desktop/VID00004.AVI

emily has a b-day. its like I had a b-day. found a chair with a high back, a desk chair. a floor lamp brass colored. a really cool soft side briefcase. and a fax machine. well so much for the fun then I had to work a bit. I'm good at the bit. little bit. I use the chain for a step into the garage. that is half of a 10 duckie note. worth nothing, just art. and if you look close the lamp and the other stuff is there. oh and if you look really close you may find a jack plane. I need that for tomorrow. I shall shine again. its my job. the chair sits very well
