Here is the cover which obviously was in need of replacement...just the job for Funk's Hybrids!
After a prolonged absence due to a 2-1/2 week cold and a recent 4 day bout of "Montezuma's revenge" due to consumption of seafood, the production manager at Funks Hybrids was finally up to starting the next project. Shown here is the results of a Saturday afternoons' labor...a new well cover made with car siding over a 2" x 2" framework of pine and birch(on the bottom for added outdoor strength/longevity). Pending the assistant designers approval, some quarter-round trim may or may not be added to further "dress up" the project. Then its off the to stain and finish department for a good coat of weatherproofing.
March 13, 2011...a day like any other, or so it started. Late afternoon, and we had enough pea-sized hail to cover our deck and yard, then a couple hours later we got an inch or two of heavy wet snow...this all after an afternoon high the day before in the 70's!!!
I unexpectedly sold my Yukon this week to a needy couple, so I suddenly became in the market for a new truck. Decided not to rush into anything...had a couple of leads on trucks in my range...$8-10K. Then I found this one online at Don Hattan, a 2004 Silverado with 104K miles, which was priced under the money. So we went to Wichita Saturday morning, drove it, jewed them down $500 bucks, and got them to throw in a new windshield. They should be delivering it Monday evening.
We got to babysit our grandson Sutton, last nite. He pretty much cried most of the night...separation anxiety I suppose. But there was a few times when he was happy, as evidenced here with a blankie on his head on Grandma's lap. He was also contemplating the saying "let a sleeping dog lie" in the 1 photo. It was good to see him anyways...I had a bad cold so I didn't get to hold him at all :-(
