I'm pooped tonight

I'm pooped tonight. And I don't think I really worked that hard. One thing I miss here is the sense of satisfaction I get from being a homeowner. I don't have to mow the lawn, weedeat, or split and stack firewood. One thing I've been doing this year that's giving me some satisfaction is building a go-kart for my boys. I'd say I'm building it with them, but there's not a lot a six and nine year old can do when it comes to cutting, grinding, and welding metal tubing. I didn't even weld when I started the project in October. Today I was welding on my own. My friend Sandy has been doing the welding, and teaching me as we go along. Today he was busy working on his car, and I did the welding. I put the brake assembly on today and started working on the brake and gas pedals. There are four other MAF families in Shell that have go-karts.
