Dan shared with me a few things that made him happy. I couldn't get ten out of him but I'll work on it.
Numbers 1-3. Dan told me that besides me and Lily, he enjoyed working outside to make our yard nicer. Last weekend his buddy Greg, not brother Greg, came over with four chainsaws to cut down the back fence line full of those weed tallow trees. Dan has a goal to let grass grow up to the line so we can mow and tend the fence in a more manageable way.
I asked Greg if he had brought four chainsaws in case one would break down he could just fire up another. To my dismay he said yes. I immediately shot a glance at Dan and saw a huge grin appear as if the light bulb going off in his head had just become the realization that he no longer needed one chainsaw, he needed four chainsaws. I had just opened Pandora's yard crasher box.
4. Surprise, surprise to those of you that know Dan, but he does enjoy working in his shop. He likes taking things apart and getting them back together in one attempt. Thank goodness the weather is better and he can spend more time doing what he
loves.
I believe I took the picture below earlier in the year. Lily was chomping on a bug.
Dan was getting ready to set up the shop doors with his Dad. That was an interesting project. They worked for hours and made it happen. They got both openings ready for the doors and one door up. The next weekend Dan asked me to help him get the last door up to fill the opening you see in the picture below. It was not a good time. I dropped the huge rolled up door as we were cranking it high up. Very stressful. The stress from it all impaired my memory of it so as far as I am concerned I blacked out after the drop.
