i learned how to take the roof off the car this weekend. and i must admit i rather like it. i also cleaned the hell out of it. inside and out. sadly now i can see some of the scratches my dad warned me about, but that's what auto care centers are for. this evening i'm going to purchase some of that colored car polish and perhaps some armorall. can't have too much armorall.
i did call mr. shy, as i am in no position to decline the offer of something to do. i interrupted him driving a back hoe, smoothing out his driveway. when someone says "building a house" i think "house builders are building a house for you" but no, not here. here it means nailing things together that will become a house. and using a backhoe on what will be one's driveway. we're having lunch tomorrow. if chris is here. speaking of that did i mention our new employee is starting in april. someone up there likes us.

and dick, i'm sorry to hear about your fall and i hope you're feeling better.
