I did a solo run to collect the last of the wood floor pieces, now we have transferred the pile out there to our garage. Underneath the stack is a radiogram, that has never had to endure that amount of weight since 78 rpm records.
Now I have the task of removing the nails, a time absorbing experience. I tried a couple of sample boards, first I had to straighten them to the same angle for which they were applied, then hit the end with a hammer in a series of small knocks, a hard hit would just bend the nail, then you have to start all over again.
There is a knack to it which I’m sure I will perfect by the end.
Then we had to go to Kelli’s mum for Matt’s sixtieth, a number he refuses to acknowledge.
We bought him a tee shirt of an old eighties heavy metal band, as he lives in the past most of the time, it was perfect for him.
I met two of his friends that he has known since school, Kurt and Karl, identical twins. They had other brothers Kevin and Keith, it looked like his parents were members of the KKK and K club.
As they all had the same initials they could all wear the same socks.
It was enjoyable, and so was the cake, then it was back home for a walk with the dogs.
