Finally swapped the winter tires off the wife's CR-V and at the same time, replaced the parking brake shoes with ACDelco as the cheap chinesium ones I put in sucked and didn't hold the car on a slight incline. Still doesn't hold that well but they're a bit better. Might need to be bedded in more. The ones I took off only had wear in the middle of the linings. Also saw the inner pads were getting worn down but everything was normal. Will try to find better pads.
Got the washer and dryer today, cleaned them up a bit and hooked them up. One of the hoses I had leaked badly, but luckily there was a spare one hanging in a tree in the back yard. (I'm not kidding) Ran to the hardware store to pick up a piece of dryer duct, and got that hooked up. Ran a couple of loads through, and called it good.
Quick trip to the grocery store for a few things, and spent most of the afternoon relaxing on the couch. Tinkered on the truck for a bit this evening once the garage cooled down, now enjoying a cocktail while watching the NBA playoffs.

At work.
On Saturday I got power fully restored to my kitchen. Made a mess of my electrical panel but at least got more circuits on proper breakers. Eventually I'll totally rewire the panel to clean it up because right now the cover won't even fit properly lol. But hey... gotta live up to my nick somehow right

Just came back from dentist, car wash and swapping the grill. Now restin' before a stretch of 3 overtime night shifts. Great money but hard on the body.
Acquired braided wire sleeving for future mods, not sure as to what I'll use it on yet. I have access to a large supply though of various colors and widths.

Got 3 of 4 under cabinet LED lights fully hooked up. Full custom ones with 2835 LEDs, this time in proper aluminum channels with diffuser lenses. They look much better both from an aesthetic and lighting standpoint than the bare 5050 LED strips I had in there previously. Nice finished look.

My internet has gone to utter crap the last couple of days. Taking me a good minute+ to load a simple web page. Forget uploading stuff! And I'm trying to do remote work. This sucks. I'll post pics later.

Took two vacation days, Thursday and Friday, to work on vehicles (I own 9 cars and trucks to keep my large family going to work and to school). Its time to get these cars on the road or get them sold!
The 9-7x will be back on the road today or tomorrow. Just need to get the exhaust, crossmembers, transfer case and driveshafts back in.

Pretty run of the mill day at work. Came home and spread about 30 pounds of pesticide granules on my sorry excuse for a lawn, that has ant mountain ranges scattered all over the place. Hopefully by the time my patchy grass gets high enough to require mowing, I won't have to worry about overlooking a fire ant hill and have a really bad day. 
Now I'm on the couch, waiting for hoops to come on, and researching tools. Can never have enough tools!

My 3 and a half day weekend has officially begun. Currently sitting on my couch trying to figure out what to do with all this free time for the next few days. Thinking a beach visit may be in order, since it's been nice and hot lately. 
Been eyeballing 4K TVs (again) think I may pull the trigger on one, and rotate down my TV stock. Got word from one of the office managers, that I won a raffle for one of the office desks that I liked. So my home office will look a little more like an office with a wood L shaped desk, rather than my old kitchen table. The 32" in my bedroom now, would look good wall mounted above the desk. The 55" in my living room should work well for the bedroom, since it's kind of a long room, and could be placed a proper distance from the end of the bed.
My mod bug will be busy this summer it seems.

Took a half day today. Picked up a friend's trailer to take my old riding mower to my other brother. Noticed the tires looked worn funny... I'm gonna have a chat with my friend, he has had the tires at friggin 25 psi and the shoulders on the tires are worn way down 
Pumped up to 60psi where they should be for this trailer, they should be fine, but dang what's wrong with him lol.
