We both needed to get our respective asses into gear and work on some furniture.
With the work on the houses, and the closure of Painted Farmgirl there was little money coming in except for what Kelli could get on Marketplace.
I had a couple of side tables that I completed, ready for finishing, and Kelli painted a dresser.
So we were back.
I repaired a skill-saw where the motor and blade spun independently of each other.
We drove to Grand Rapids to pick up a pair of speakers that I have seen on Marketplace. I wanted to build up the music system now that we had a better place to appreciate it. These were B&W DM220’s, British made and similar to a set I have back in the UK.
I met Mark at his place of work, which was asphalt processing plant. We had to drive past two mountains of old chunks of motorway that would be turned back into new resurfacing material.
He was a big black guy, dressed in black standing in front of a black pile of rubble, it was a wonder I saw him at all.
We did the deal, then set off back home. I resisted saying “ Ta Mac” as for one, he wouldn’t understand what I said, and also what I meant.
Our English friends Lesley and Mike came down to sit around our fire and drink wine. My problem was we had burnt all my wood scraps the day before, so they brought their own. We have now started the “Bring a bottle and firewood” party.
