Kate walked for her mother.

Many people.

Lunch was at Morales in South Minneapolis.

U-Pull Adventure Numero Dos

I took Liz to U-Pull Auto Parts to get a couple of parts for her Saturn. She needed a new side mirror and I needed a couple of bolts for the one in my garage.

She didn't have any trouble finding the right parts and getting them off.

She enjoys getting into her work.

On the way home we found an Alien Bar and Grill!!!

I wanted a model alien and tried to win one in a machine but after a number of tries and a great deal of frustration, the kid beside me finally gave me one.

My thoughts exactly!

Its Done!!! Its Done!!!!!

The sauna has finally been signed off by the building inspectors. They were very nice and worked with me during the 4 years since I started this project. I failed the electrical inspection the first time and had to make some changes but everything else went quite well.

The vanity.

The sauna.

The door and hallway, I didn't have a permit to finish the basement so it is still in the 'rough' state.

Sunday Update

This has been the first real day of Spring, and none too soon. The high was in the 70's, the sun was shining, I mowed the grass, didn't really need it but I want to, cleaned my garage a bit, picked up the house and enjoyed the day.
