Vans, rings and nuts

[fbhjr]

I spent a few more hours up in New Hampshire today helping Brett and Tom redo their new house. I sanded down a lot of woodwork for them, pulled old carpet tacks out of the stairs they’re going to paint and broke down some counters in the kitchen they wanted thrown away.

On the way there, I passed a van for sale...


Very tempting at $800. It cost me that much to rent a van every trip down south.
And, a nice roof rack too...
But, it looks like it could only take 2 people, which would be an issue.
Still tempting.

Pretending folks care, I found a way to keep my O-Ring wedding bands clean that seems to work well. I soak them in boiling water with baking soda. I do the whole batch at a time to make it easier.


As blue_micha speculated on the kind of nuts the squirrels throw at me, here are some close up pictures.


Nothing new on the job front so far this week. But, my wife and I went to see the movie Surrogates tonight at the theater that sells the sorbet I can eat. Always a nice treat. And, we both liked the movie.

as long as you have somewhere to stash it, the van is a great idea, it will save your butt multipile times and all that clean white side is great for say 'Phoenix Swords' logos and phone numbers and stuff, which I will happily supply.

The problem is, I don't have anywhere to stash it.
And, I'm sure I wouldn't want a van as a normal use car due to the milage.

I can just see it now...

It's big, it's white, and it could have
the letters " NCC 1701 " on the side...
