It's the weekend!!!

Yippy.

I don't think I've blogged in a while, in fact I know that I haven't. My last one was on the 8th and it didn't really say anything. Jes and Liz's internet doesn't always work for me. Or rather the signal booster doesn't. I think we had the same problem when we lived in pleasant valley, which is why we quit using it. It's appears that it refuses to assign the Mac a IP address when returning from sleep mode. Once I have connected and put it to sleep I have to unplug the extender and let it reboot, while my MAC is awake. Not sure what this could be.

Anyway, on to other stuff.

Thursday was a long day, I didn't make it home from work until 6:30. I started the day at 5:30. I had to be to Tim's at 7:00 to get the guys and tractor and get to Beck Road. After dropping the tractor and Manuel off I headed over to Michigan Cat (On Novi Road by 10 mile.) to pick up a ,skid-steer and take it to Beck Rd. It was the biggest damn skid-steers I've ever seen. The cab was heated and it had a lot of power. We where out all day in the snow laying dirt. Once in a while a flurry would roll in. We managed to get all the dirt down by 4:45 and we headed back to Tim's. It was 5:30 before I got there. It took me a little under an hour to get home.

Friday was worse. I got to Tim's at 7:00 and had to wait around until 8:00 for everybody else. They where supposed to be there at 7:00 but where late. I headed up to Beck by my self to finish the job. It took me about 2 hours to knock down and rake out the rest of the dirt. Then I loaded up the tractor and took it to Inkster. Once I dropped it off Tim and I headed back to Beck to pick up the skid-steer and take it back. We where going to leave the trailer on Beck and swing by some place in Highland because he want to look at a used equipment trailer. On the way to Beck he got a call for the topsoil company saying they couldn't deliver on Saturday so if he wanted the dirt he needed to get it today. It was for Oxford, where ever the hell that is. So we had to take back the big skid-steer and get a smaller one then drive to Oxford, which is 10 miles east of Lake Orion. Once the trucks dumped we pushed the dirt off the road,, left the skid-steer and trailer in Oxford and came home. I think I made it to Tim's around 6:30, I didn't get home until 7:30.

Saturday I spent in Oxford putting down the dirt. I got the skid-steer stuck pretty good, and had to get another skid-steer over there to pull me out. Once the dirt was done we came home. Krystal wanted to drive so I let her. At a stop light in Auburn Hills, right in front of the palace, she rear ended a truck. There was no damage, the guy just laughed it off and drove away. We got back to Tim's around 5:00 and I headed home. Got here about 5:45.
