hot

it is so freakin hot here....
it was like 90 i think... unbearable
we got home at 8:30 last night and put the air conditioner in the
window. it was essential. in the process we saw atleast 3 brown
spiders. i was afraid they were brown recluse spiders (deadly) we
caught one, but after checking on the internet i dont think it is.

we went to boston this weekend to move becky back to syracuse...check
out her blog to see some pictures. i will put my pictures up tomorrow
i hope.

i havent been to work in 5 days. its going to be so hard to
go back. i had leadership cattaraugus today. it was education day. we
got to tour BOCES, and they do the neatest stuff there. way more
practical learning then things learned in class rooms. i dont think
our school offered that.

hmmm what else did i need to write about...this weekend is ryans big
game...anyone in the area should go. portville is actually suppose to
win this year.

i planted today and tomorrow i am going to go buy a bunch of
flowers...so the next few days are all going to planting. actually is
suppose to rain from now until saturday atleast.

rain

it rained all day today.... not good. and it got very cold, its the
first time we have used our heat in a long time.

i have another bug update.... i was too ashamed the next day to write
about it. thursday when i went to drive my bug to work i didnt take
the garage out this time, but about 2 miles down the road i heard a
ping and then the accelerator wouldnt work. i was going down a hill
into portville so i pulled over when i could. When i pulled over i
couldnt get the out of the ignition. it was terrible. some guy
stopped and was looking at it- he said he had never seen anything
like it (the key). I still don't know whats wrong with it. I need to
call a mechanic i think. oh well i called ryan and he was already at
work, so he had to leave and come get me. so we hooked the bug up to
his truck and drove home. it was so scary, i had to drive it and i
was so afraid that i was going to go crashing into the back of ryans
truck.

hopefully this week i will figure out whats wrong with it.

we got alot done on the garage this weekend- i am going to get some
pictures up someday...maybe when its finished

new carb!!

I'm so excited!!!!!! i took my carb out of my green bug again last
night and i had ordered another carb on ebay- for parts. I learned
alot just from having a carb that was put together- and i was able to
take mine apart and i tokk a piece of it to work to have some work
done on a part - then tonight i put it all back together - which took
FOREVER, but when it was all put together i started it up and it ran
without stalling! i was so excited, i actually had to turn it off
which i hadnt had to do this year. I didnt get to drive it to see if
it will stall when i down shift but i am hoping to drive it tomorrow.
So exciting, i feel like i actually accomplished something.

ryan has found his puppy, it was born saturday. we are going to pick
him up on july 4th.

the batman

so Tuesday we had the bat man come to our house and he said we don't have that bad of a problem, they have probably been there 2 years. he put up a net with duct tape on the outside of the chimney where they are getting in. and caulked up all the holes in the attic and used expanding foam too. He thinks he plugged the hole that the bees came in through last summer. So Tuesday night we watched the bats come out of their hole and into the net. then they had to shimmy down the side of the house to get free, apparently the next morning when they came back they wouldn't be able to figure out how to get back in, so they would go find a new home. I hope it worked. this weekend Ryan has to take the net down and seal the hole. All of this cost $200. Not too bad. There isn't enough bat poop to bother cleaning, not enough to be harmful so that is good.

I drove the green beetle to work yesterday and I was
backing out of the garage and thought it would be a good idea to turn around
in the driveway.... well I misjudged the bumper and hit the garage door
frame and took off the green molding.... I also scratched the paint on my fender. I was mad. I didn't think it was big deal but when Ryan got home he did. I figured we could just nail the wood back on but apparently bob the builder says we need a new piece.

The bug stalls every time I down shift STILL, kind of embarrassing. I bought a new carb on Ebay, but it hasn't arrived yet. I was reading online at vw sites and I could have an air leak. so this weekend I need to check it out.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!! Drink lots of tequila today
