Sunday
We've got rain... It started last night just before bed time and at 2 in the afternoon it hasn't stopped. I've been watching the LA TV Network and seeing all the flooding, slides, and snow that they are receiving. I ask myself, "is that really "The Sunny California" that we've always known to be the sun tan capital???? I know, it's the Global Warming. Louise is helping that cause right now, she is roasting a turkey for our dinner tonight...mmmm good !!!
Well the new floor is in and I've just about finished with setting the trim work as well. Unfortunately I had to "purchase" another tool to set the finish pieces. I bought a new nailer. I had to buy this compressed air nailer so that the nails would penentrate the new flooring and/or the walls. I tried to use a standard hammer and finish nail but I just couldn't get it to hit pay dirt and hold...Oh well, I've always wanted a "nailer"... The people at Home Depot and Lowes are getting to know us on a first name basis because of all the visits we've made to their establishments. Yesterday we met with Louise's brother and his wife (Mark and Susan) and attended the annual "Lettice Festival". It turned out to be pretty much the standard street market with the addition of "The Largest Salad Bar" in the world. I don't know about the "Largest", but it was about 20 feet long and in the middle of the street. We lasted about 2 hours and then the snarling of our tummy's got to us and we had to find the local "Hot Wing Bar"...nothing better than a nice sunny day, hot wings, a cold beer, and eating out on the sidewalk...
