well here I am again, and today I'm going to tel you about the last couple days. Ok so my first day up was Wednesday, bright side the car runs great. made it all the way up here got great gas mileage it's loud but she gets from A-B and back to A (so far). I got up here and we started cleaning out the basement of all the sheetrock that was laying around down there. then I left and went to visit Grace and Ashley with Dubs and Josh. That was an alrght time, I got to play black barbera. then Dubs and I rolled back into Minneapolis at around 2 and when David left me and JJ jumped back into the basement. Because the meter dude was coming on Thursday between 12-4. So we went to work crimping and supporting and making the water main suitable for the meter, but we couldn't get it all finished so we went to bed at around 4:30.
SO now it's Thursday and we got out of bed with nerves and excitement and some anxiety to meet the meterdude and see what he said and to see if he could hook us up. So we did all the last minut finishes and we waited. tummy's rumblin' we sat and we waited for him. He showed up his name was Kirk. He was a funny guy and he is, like Jeremiah, also allergic to bees so they talked epi-pen's for awhile. But overall Kirk came down and told us that he can't hook us up with a meter because we need Mechanical fittings and we can't have any solder joints before the meter. So we asked if he could come back in like 1hour and he said he still had like 4 meters to install and he wouldn't have time. So we went and got the parts we needed (hopefully) and we ran out to Mickey D's. JJ had the best Double Cheeseburger he has ever had in his life. (sad note that was one of the highlights of our day.) We tried calling to set-up an appointment for a meter but they weren't having any. But we had some goals to accomplish on that day and we weren't going to stop because nothing was going our way. SO we jumped back in the horses saddle and rode like the wind first we thought we would go and double check that we didn't need any other parts for the plumbing and cha-ching it looks pretty good. However on the way there we thought we would take 100 south but as it would turn out you have to take the shingle creek exit to get on to HWY 100 so we ended up in places we have never been before. FRustrated as a mule we kept pushing because before the end of the day something had to go our way...so we kept on pushing and we saw Best buy but missed the exit so we said awh...we'll just get off at the next exit and we did. But there was something about the Roads in MN that just don't make any sense. So there we are in the little red rider and lost some where we have never been and as we just continue to get frustrated we both reach our boiling points and just blow-up(ish). JJ and I had so much fun with the next 25 minutes. As we drove around we were so frustrated that all we could do was laugh and so we did. and we made jokes and laughed some more. Then we found it, best buy, it was a cool cup of water on a hot desert day. we went in that store and we saw the vaccuum cleaners and we walked back there and there it was!!! BOO_YA!!! You have some days where everything goes right, then you have the days when one thing goes right. and yesterday was a one thing day.
Needless to say here I sit on Friday with crap to do, but we are still fricken waterless and the only time we can get in is thursday september 4th. The biggest problem is that we can't poop or shower at this point and it is gross and we would like to clean up and stuff, so if anyone happens to know a meterdude in Minneapolis send him to 2718 Colfax Ave N. thanks.
