I pretty much spent all day setting up a "Play area" for "Sebastian" (My son who is like 16 or 17 months old).
Really, I have worked on this awhile. We got "two" pools in this area (a little one for him, and a 900 gallon one too). I build a sandbox. So far, I put 8 bags of sand (It's only 4x by 4). Still needs more. We got him a slide.. lots of toys out there. Perfect area for him to play, and me to sit and relax.
The idea to me.. is "keep him in the area". He has so much there, he won't be trying to run through the yard much (where I gotta chase him). So I am all about "making his play area bigger and better".
Today, he went to the pools. Played in the sprinklers. In the pools. Then turned around to play in the "sandbox". Hey, he loved me "burying him in sand".. lol. He learned to use his "toy dumptruck". He even figured out his "slide" today. Once in awhile, he would try to take off (I chased him down).. but mostly he was content being there.
We were pretty much there the entire day. I had to drain and fill both pools. That's an "all day process". Algae and chit. Looks so nice now. I want it to stay that way. I added more toys, mowed it up nice. Know it won't stay that way forever, I'm just happy now.
Today, I realized we needed a "weed wacker". Well, I knew we needed one before. Today was the day I said "Tomorrow" we are buying one. Now we have "limited funds". We looked all over online. We need one "cheap" that we can buy attachments for. Rototiller, edger, stuff like that. Roxann gets off early on Wednesdays. So if she can't find what we are looking for.. I will go with her all over till we do. We don't need "commercial grade" for here. Just cheap and functional. $100 should do it. Gas powered. Plus ability to add attachments.
Paul has a few. Said I can borrow them. At first I was thinking (Paul has a lawncare business.. bet he has some). Plus he owes us money. Get one from him cheap, take it off what he owes). I then decided.. no, I'd rather have new. I don't care if it takes Paul a decade to pay me back. I'd like a "new" weedwacker. Will find one tomorrow. We already checked all over online.
So Paul and I talked on the phone a few minutes ago. About this stuff and other stuff. Anyway, it's a GO. He will come here to do the "Hogs in the Ministry" Biker event. Bikers (all kinds) always buy). He'll come here "Friday" (spend the night). The show is 20 minutes from me. Show is Saturday. Roxann will have my van, so I need to load up with him. Sunday, I am not sure. He either wants to do this thing at "Armada" (near Detroit), or this new "race track" we were invited too. I want to do "neither" of those. I don't expect alot from either one. Armada is like "super busy", from 4am-noon. Then it closes. I said "for a fact" if you want to do "Armada" I won't be there. If you want to try this "race track" I will be there. Just because I know.. It's only been around 2 years. I know "show wise" I won't make alot at this race track. But I also expect it to "establish". Once you have an IN in shows.. lasts forever. So.. I am not against doing the "race track".
We talked. May go up to "Bay City" instead. Guaranteed to make some money (guaranteed in)... I guess, just sort this as I go,, lol. I try not to "overthink" anything. He does tho..lol.
