Got the main yard mostly cleaned up finally. Chilling for a few, will get something to eat soon, then mow, then depending on time might try to clean up the side yard a bit before heading to go see the GF later this afternoon.

With some help from @kurupt, @triz and another friend of ours, we got all my big and heavy stuff moved from the condo into the new house. Of course, it looks like a hurricane blew through here, but in a day or so, I should have things sorted and looking like a hoarder doesn't live here :tongue:

Right now, I'm relaxing and watching some TV, but I'll probably take a shower and a nap pretty soon. Meeting up with the fellas tonight at a new Winghouse that was just opened, to watch the UFC fights. :2thumbsup:

Got up bright and early to go clean out the condo. Picked up some spackle to fill some screw holes from my TV wall mount, as well as some push pin holes. Hopefully the property management people don't screw around and give me my whole deposit back!

Back home, gonna turn my attention to the kitchen and get things put away in there so I can actually use it. Need to do a ton of grocery shopping, not to mention MAKE food, so that's top priority right now. :biggrin:

Changed the oil in my brother's 96 z71 as payment for him cutting my hair haha.

Then put together a new, smaller TV stand and moved the huge entertainment center out of the living room. 12year old entertainment center was made for tube TVs so our new flat-screen had just been chilling on top of it for a few months now.

Still have to deep clean where it was then slide the TV stand into place and hide wires.

Went for breakfast with a friend, then back home, ordered A/C parts to get the Saab's air going again (accumulator, seals, o-tube). Then, nothing. Was supposed to do stuff outside but it didn't happen. No reason. The wife will be pissed :hissyfit:

After 2 days of trying to use cutoff wheels and drilling, I FINALLY got the rusted-to-hell toilet bowl tank bolts out...

... so I could replace the tank/bowl gasket which leaked BADLY whenever the toilet was flushed. As you can see, yeah this thing was dead years ago... :hopeless:

Got the shower situated, now I have a fully functional master bathroom! :thumbsup:

Got more done on my kitchen last night. No more wires hanging out of the wall.

Today - more work. Going to see the GF tonight, then more work a little later after that.

I might not be awake tomorrow :yawn:

After getting the wife pissed off yesterday, will have to do something outside today. Likely fix up the lawn tractor and pump out the pool cover. Maybe clean out the garage. As long as I'm doing SOMETHING, I'm safe,

Went after work and got the struts and shocks! Ready for Saturday!

Except I'm an idiot and didn't even think about the lift replacing the upper strut mount, now I have to take it back and get the work redone :Banghead:

Cleaned out 11 roof top exhaust vents and filters. Changed some belts and greased up some bearing. I love the mechanical side of maintenance.20170518_103305.jpg 20170518_102630.jpg
On the other side of that fence is the roof top lounge where there was plenty of eye candy to see and talk to while I was up there all day. It was amazing to say the least. I got offered drinks and water by the tenants. It's nice when they even know my name. It sucks when I can't remember there's. Lol it's hard to keep track of 250+ tenants.

Shopping for new brake lights and researching why my a/c compressor won't engage...

I just had the system "professionally" recharged two years ago, had the compressor clutch bearing fail last year, so I'm about to do everything in my power to have not done all that work in vein (trust me, that bearing was not fun).
It's storming now, so any troubleshooting will have to wait for tomorrow when I am doing an oil change, greasing the parts that get greased, and lubing up the control arm bushings so they stop squeaking.

Managed to get one side of the garage cleared and swept out. Buddy of mine is dropping by in a couple of hours to give me a washer and dryer (gotta love free stuff :biggrin:) so needed to clear the way to back his trailer in.

Got a little sidetracked doing some inventory on stuff that was left behind. Under a bunch of empty cleaning bottles, were 5 paint buckets. 4 had some contents in them, but it's clear they had been there for too long as they smelled really foul, and/or were getting clumpy. Those will get set outside with the lids off to dry out so I can dispose of them.
