The weekend continues...

Sidewinder's Ranch had a "Heaven and Hell" halloween party last night. The dance area was black plastic sheet-ed off from the rest of the bar area, which was supposed to give it a spooky look, but just looked cheap essentially. But the place was packed with people, which is a nice change over the previous owners. Danny and I didn't place in the costume contest (cash prizes!), but we did get in a lot of quality 2-stepping and line dances. Most of the die-hards from my Thursday classes were there, which was good to see. During the disco and ranchero music, the floor was packed with everything imagineable.

By about 12:15, my lungs couldn't take the volume of cigar and cigarette smoke anymore, so we hightailed it home, where I watched the fun 1983 Twilight Zone movie, then passed out about 1:30.

What a good sleep!

This morning, Danny and I decided we'd get the project done that has been haunting for months. We completely emptied the store-room in the carport and cleaned it out. 13 years of dirt and forgotten tools and boxes, and current mishmash of gardening tools and other stuff...yeesh. We used the format that is on HGTV organization shows. We completely emptied the place, put all the items in zones, and are now in the process of taking a nice lunch break.

Of course, there's stuff we don't really know what to do with, mostly tools, that we'll probably have to give to a charity. The charity pile is small at this point, so we'll see...

We'll have to tear out as much of the interior walls as we can for the new electrical that's going in, if we can ever get a contractor to do that! THEN, by Christmas we should have the garage doors in and we can finish the demolition on that one previously exterior wall (30 x 12 feet) that will be interior and unneeded.

Just have to broom out the yuck from the floors now! Oh and figure out what to do with all the stuff in the keep piles.

Looking at my 2005 Colt Hairy Chested Men Calendar, I see that we'll have to sadly say goodbye tomorrow to Sam Shadon, one of the more interesting looking naked men I've seen on their calendar. Something about the chap looks like he'd be interesting to TALK to.
