So we got a new tv on Sunday and Dave’s dreams have been fulfilled (yep, that’s a direct quote). He informed me that 1/2 the dream was the tv, the other 1/2 was to mount it on the wall. Of course before the delivery guys even got it in our front door he was already posting templates on our wall, measuring every inch and crack and had 2 stud finders out to immediately hunt down those studs in the wall (Dave trying to find studs and insisting that both tools were wrong is a novel on its own). Sunday came and went and the tv still sat on the floor…fast forward to Tuesday (tv still on the floor) and his OCD like behavior was driving me crazy…I knew we needed help quick b/c the house was going to blow up or at least that’s how he made it seem so we recruited the neighbor who happens to be a carpenter (and a human stud finder) to get this tv on the wall. Mission accomplished and thank goodness for our neighbor’s help because we now have one happy Dad!
Already helping Dad fix things
To end the happy campers happiness for a few minutes...our Jeep got broken in to yesterday at the train station. They broke the passenger side window and took our stereo, Garmin and a tool for checking check engine lights. We already got the window fixed and he only has 2 weeks left at that station. I'm not sure what attracted them to our hillbilly Jeep (perhaps it was the oversized tire on the roof that was screaming come look at me?), but I sure hope they enjoy our low end stereo system that didn't really get good reception anyway! :)
