No Torque!


Sunday morning was around 15 degrees so you know what that means…spring cleanup time!

First stop was replacing the water in the hot tub which went surprisingly well. I must be a master at this process at this point.
Next up was changing the winter tires. But wait! Andreane calls needing the trailer to pick up some furniture that is being thrown out at her friend’s apartment. I hightail it downtown and pick up two sweet wicker chairs as we as a Futon! Considering she is planning on moving into a house in the near future, you can never have enough furniture. It was also a surprisingly easy move considering we had to bring a Futon on an elevator! I did have to pull over about 45 times because the tarp kept flapping in the wind.

I should have known that with all these easy moves, there would be something that didn’t go my way on this beautiful day. Changing the tires was the victim. I searched high and low for my torque wrench but no dice. Turns out it was in Vero’s car who was out running errands.

I realized that I am a man who should be able to use the emergency tire wrench to take the lug nuts off. While I am a man, I was a man with sore hands because that tire wrench has about a six inch handle! In the end, I got all the tires replaced and I managed to torque them when Vero got home.

It was around 22 degrees yesterday which called for some relaxation after all this hard work. I settled in on the back deck with a Fantastic Four in hand when Mike showed up from a motorbike ride. We hung out, ate some BBQ with Vero and headed on our way.

Also, I won $131 on my Lotto Max! That’s definitely the most I have ever won on a ticket.

Sunday was a good day.
