Man I'm freakin' tired right now. I've been going since 8AM and I'm just now getting some time to myself. At first I just went down to my grandparents house to help them do some chores. Take out the scraps, vaccum the house, no big deal. Then my dad gets out of work early and wants me to help him cut trees out of a fence row. Not fun work, let me tell you. It's even worse when it's all grown up with thorn patches, which it was. My arms are all cut up now and I think I may have gotten into some poison vine.
There is a good thing about getting my arms all cut up though. Strangely enough, it does remind me of martial arts class. The time we were running the "guillotine" in the woods for our belt promotion, I was tackled right into a thorn patch. I miss that class. Good times.
Anyway, that took a good portion of the day. Nothing seemed to go right either. Dad's chainsaw is screwed up now. Then as we were leaving, the brakes went out on the car. Turns out the brake lines had rusted and leaked fluid. Dad had to drive home using just the emergency brakes then we had to work on that problem. Taking a brake line off of a car is not fun work either.
After we worked on the car for awhile, we had to put headers on the motorcycle. That wasn't that bad really. But we still have to put a new brake line on the car tomorrow. I can't wait.
