Socks That Rock

Heddy called me tonight to let me know that our yarn order arrived. I only got one skein, hubby's not working yet, truck still getting fixed, so I have to watch what I spend. I plan on making a pair of Wyverns with this yarn. (Now that I think I can manage a short-row heel.) It's called Sunstone, and I got the lightweight.

As mentioned, the truck is still getting fixed. I really didn't think it would take this long. They ended up having to replace a couple of the bunk panels, and they had to be ordered from Ontario or somewhere, but still. I guess it's being painted on Monday, I suppose it will have to sit a couple of days to harden good (and the body shop is on a rough, dirt road, not good for tacky paint). Then it goes to the garage for a day for the mechanical stuff. Of course, he gets a call from the guy who is in charge of the super-oversized stuff, wanting him to take some humungous beams to Cape Breton on Monday. This stuff pays ridiculous (in a good way, lots of $$ per mile). It's the sort of stuff that you meet on the highways with escorts in the front and sometimes in the back, too. The only thing is if he decides he's going to cart this stuff for them on a fairly regular basis then we will need either a different truck or get different rear ends put in ours. It needs lower-geared rear ends because of all the weight, and the rear ends we have now would probably end up falling out eventually. That's not a good thing, to lose your rear end! Basically when that happens it costs quite a bit to fix, plus most of the time the truck sits where it is -- can't move. Sometimes it can be hobbled to a garage, but usually not.

Dropped our income tax stuff off at the accountant's on Wednesday. He had some questions for me. I keep good books, but there's always some questions. I do have to look into two things for him that I may not have recorded right. He's only figuring that we made four Pete payments last year, but we made nine. That's a bunch of money missing, like $7,500 at least in principal alone. Also it looks like I screwed up a date on his meals and lunchbox expense, that's not showing right. I'm at work right now, so I'll have to look into that when I get home.

Happy knitting!
