Yesterday dh ran back into the city to pick up the radiator he dropped off last Friday. I think it was just so they could flush/clean it out (?). He didn't want to leave the vehicle with them, so he pulled the radiator out and just took that in. What he got back looked like someone found it in a junk yard. He said he even asked the guy this is my radiator? When he got home with it, he was a bit upset at the condition of it. He knew he'd have to repaint it, but I guess wasn't expecting how it looked. Then he talked on the phone with his buddy in TX and he told him that's how they end up looking after going through the cleaning machine (or however they do it), and told him what to do and dh told him he is also going to repaint it black and friend said don't use regular black spray paint, they make a paint specifically for radiators, so he ordered that from Amazon.
Poor sis - the meeting that her responsible and reasonable step brother called to get the 2 fighting brothers to knock the BS off, apparently has not done any good with the step brother who is co-executor with her. He texted her yesterday he found some paperwork to something their dad owned (that has been kept someplace else). He literally texted to her - lets just keep this to ourselves and sell it! OMG. She replied back no, she is NOT doing that. It belongs to the estate, etc....then he replies back with some wierd/vague reply like he's agreeing with her and blaming the brother he keeps fighting with. So bizarre. She's got a long road ahead of her probating all this.
Our new phones arrived just at dinner time. After dinner I went back up to my desk to set my new phone up. It went smoothly, just took time for all the apps to update/load. Almost everything stayed signed in, other than a couple of apps. I think dh might be able to handle a new phone without too much fussing LOL. Other than an added button on the right side for quick camera access (which seems nice) and the button on the left side to silence the phone (which he never uses anyway) changed from a slide type button to a push button, everything else seems the same. It does take better pictures, though. Zooms in way farther than my iphone 11 does, so he'll appreciate that change. I am still going to use my new phone, at least for today, before I set his up. Just in case I come across anything different that he may throw a fit about, I'll have it figured out, haha.
I got online last night and ordered 2 new phone cases, that surprisingly are supposed to be delivered today via an Amazon driver. I don't think I've ever had anything delivered next day, living here! I'm excited if something manages to get here in 2 days. DD lives near an Amazon distribution warehouse and she can get some things same day.
Payroll went super smooth and quick this morning. That doesn't happen very often, so I am happy when it does. "Payroll day" (2x a month) is also the day dh knows to leave me alone and not bug me with all his usual stuff. Do you think I am going to tell him I'm already done? Hell no! LOL. I'll take the quiet when I can, for as long as I can ;)
It's sunny and going to be almost 70 today 🌞
I think it is hilarious that you are not going to let your husband know the payroll is done.
ReplyDeleteAmazon notifies me my order will be delivered the next day, something I rarely need. Then a week later, it arrives.
Please post a picture of Amos using your new phone, lol!! I am glad the setup went smoothly - my friend switched phones recently and it was tough. A shame that your payroll is taking so long ;)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new phone!

Oh your poor sister!!!! Whenever there's money involved in brings out the worst in most people doesn't it. But good for her for being honest - I hope he was ashamed!
ReplyDeleteI hope your sister decides to back away from this. It sounds like the drama is just going to continue. No one needs to deal with that.
ReplyDeleteMake the most of payroll day!
ReplyDeleteEven though it was actually payroll half-day this time! xx
