Do I really need this? Reading Material

Now that I'm unemployed my days are filled with cooking and cleaning. This is good until it gets to the point of excessive. OK, that won't happen because I'm not crazy about cleaning but the refrigerator is getting full of leftovers because I keep making something new each day.

I decided I should read more. This morning I spent hours searching for the book "Culture Warrior" by Bill O'Reilly. Not that I couldn't find the book. Finding it a price we are willing to pay is the hard part. Actually, it is the shipping and handling that becomes the clincher. It is amazing how much each place wants to charge for S&H. After exhuasting all avenues I end up finding it at the DoubleDayBookClub which I'm a member of. I guess I was having a senior moment.

Of course, you get a deal if the order is over $29. NO S&H. So, I ordered his other book "Who is looking out for you?" I now have reading material on the way. I better finish the other 4 books ordered a few months ago. I also better stop shopping online. It is too easy to spend money.

Iron worker?

Kirk gets a new piece of equipment.

When we moved here Kirk became friends with Lyle, the owner of a tool rental business down the road.

Lyle is retired now and in Kirk's spare time spent many hours helping Lyle restore a vehicle.

To our surprise, Kirk was presented with the use of this "Iron worker" for as long as he wants it. It cuts iron.

Another Christmas gift.

Survey says

It was interesting this morning watching Fox News First.

The topic that caught my attention was a survey or poll stating that, 37% of people who resign do so because of their supervisor not because of the job.

Well, there is a surprise!

Boy, was I lucky, when I started the job at IGA the supervisor left on maternity leave for almost a year. Sad to say, she came back. Mind you, I was warned by co-workers what life would be like on her return. I feel for them. They didn't like it then and they don't like it now.

It amazes me how people who treat others so badly stay in their position?

New Year, New Look for shop

Kirk is working on making more room in the shop.

The table he built last year is now cut down to half its size as it seems building gates will not be our main fabrication.

So far steps, are what's happening here.
