Today is the shortest day of the year. After today, the days will grow longer and longer by little increments, a mere minute or so a day. You all know what THAT means! Time to really start cranking out the needlework (not much further to go on Mom's lap quilt, yay!). and ordering seeds! WOOP!
The tire got changed today. Hubby tried to do it while we were at the laundromat yesterday, but one of the lug nuts would not come off. So he meandered down to Wally World today, to visit a friend who works in the auto department there, and they couldn't get it off with the impact wrench! He then wanders a bit further down the road to O'Reilly's Auto Parts, and got a special little tool to get the nut off. The tool digs into the nut and forces it loose, though you do have to worry about snapping the bolt while your at it due to high pressures you're putting on it. The nut came off without snapping the bolt, and it was then that hubby discovered why the darn thing was so stuck. The last person who took it off put locking thread tape on it! ON A LUG BOLT!
So here I am, didn't sleep well last night, so slept most of the day, and just not really getting anything done. Oh well. Tons to do, so off I go. Hugs, all!!
