I've got Summer School till 8/1 and hopefully have a job at Regions Bank in Columbia. I'm in tossup about the Canton convention cause I want to drive and rent a car to save the mileage on my new Rondo but most of the rental places require age 25 to rent (wah!).
what are your summer plans?

Just call me *Mrs. Madrigal*
~Entertaining at home will be the order of the season and the door is always open for visitors.
Back-door guests are best!
~Gas (petrol)is going to suck (both literally & figuratively).
OMG remember the siphoning form of theft in the mid 70's when this cost escalation last happened?
~I watched a mother get busted at Publix. She was stealing baby food. Wrong I know, she should have gone to local charities. A desperate act to feed her child.
This assumes she is not saving some cash to buy a new purse or blouse. Sadly "I cant' afford it" somrtimes means I don't want to allocate money to that." In this case I hope I am dead wrong, and that it is an actual act of desperation and good mothering. Hopefully the judge will show tremendous mercy. NEWSFLASH: Buy or grow vegetables, boil them and mash them. It's infintely cheaper and healthier for baby.
No major plans. Hopefully my house---which is in contract-- will sell by July (three years now since my divorce) and I will shed about 180 lbs. [say 80kg)...(my ex)... with whom the space is shared. It will be wonderful to be debt-free, give a few drachmas to those in my family in need and start anew!
This way, too, my bitch can come visit anytime. (Er.. of course.. I mean by that GadgetBoy's dog... *LOL*).
Real estate taxes:
oh boy Rich & Chuck. And to think Massachusetts (Tax-achusetts) began the revolt against the king for taxation!
My next piece of real-estate (if I indeed get one) will be something with rentable space(s). A private house (read: expense; no income) is murder on one's checkbook/pocketbook!

Summer Plans?
We are going to Kauai the most western Hawaiian island. My wife made our plans in December and it seems crazy but the trip is paid for ( Neptune repairs calls helped) and I will stop by my friend Winston Kamamoto's Maytag store in Kapaa to talk Maytag. Our dream is to move there when I "retire" in 10 years. But I have to figure the repair business out there becuase I won't really stop working.

Nice room Oldhouseman! Thanks for posting the photo. Actually the four rooms on the rear of our house was a house built in 1846 and is very similar to yours. The doors also look alike. We are doing major repair in one room that had a leaky bath for 50yr or so. Ain`t life grand!

I was thinking about desiging a vehicle that runs on compressed shit. Congress should easily approve it, being the world's biggest producer of this undervalued, but constantly sustianable resource.
However, someone in the middle east will have constipation and the shit compacting companies will declare a supply shortage and the price of shit will go up, and Congress will have fufilled it's purpose to providing laxitive in the middle east to keep the shit flowing to the american shit buyers.
If shit became a fuel, the government would tax you per flush.
Before America gets off it's oil addiction, the US Goverment has to tell the middle east to go throw sand at each other, we are OUT of there. Cut the Arabs off, and let them beg to sell us oil.
Gasoline is a utility, like electriciy and natural gas. Those companies have to file for increases in rates before they stick it to us. Why don't we regualte gasoline pricing in the US like we do utilities?

In June we are going to Chicago to visit my strange sister to check up on how she is doing with her appliances. We are preparing to be horrified again!
In August we are looking at a trip to the San Juan Islands outside of Seattle for a bike trip. We really love the Pacific Northwest. But it depends on space availability, which this summer looks quite full.

I am going
to learn to ride a bicycle again. I cant afford to fill up the tank.. Even a meal @ mickeyd's now cost about 7.00 and that is nothing extra. The taxes on the house have gone up almost 20% in 3 years. here it is actually cheaper to rent a apt. you can get a VERY nice 2 bedroom one for around 600.00 Far less than house and insurance payments.

No travel plans for summer, went on a cruise back in January. Mostly I'll be working on projects:
The '58 Buick needs a repaint (yeah, like thats gonna happen this year).
Yesterday I went to Houston and got the '53 Chevy truck back from my dad - I gave it to him several years ago but for the last two years he hasn't really had time to drive it, so he gave it back. The truck has a 235 straight six motor and dad had an A/C installed. My MPG with the A/C on was about 11.8 at a speed of about 63mph - which really had the engine revved up (original drive train, 411 rear end). I find that I'm not driving the classic cars to shows as much with the high gas prices. And, I haven't seen too many of the Hummers that I normally see on my drive to work.
I'm just finishing my 10 X 16 storage shed - to get the car junk out of the garage so I can park cars in there. It has an upper loft, so it is about 11 feet from floor to the top. I built the upper floor at 6 foot so I won't bump my head, but my friends might have to duck. Getting the truck is a big incentive for me to hurry up.
Today I hooked up the power: I had to run the main wire from the shed to the house, then connect it to the breaker box. Everything in the shed worked - no redo's needed. There are four lights, 14 outlets, and separate outlets for the A/C and the dehumidifier. Now all I have left is making the door and shelves, and moving the car parts into it of course.
I would like to start the deck and outdoor kitchen this summer, we'll see what happens. Surprisingly, some of the lumber I need has come down in price since last year. I have never seen lumber prices come down after going up before.

dunno wut i'm doing this summer, but if my dad goes to VA this summer, i'll go with him. if not, i'll try the jersey shore. i careless about the 2, but i'm too broke to travel on plane and i'll go crazy if i spend my vacation at home eventhough i have cool toys to play with, so gotta get out and go somewheres.
I'll be visiting a good friend in early June, I can't wait!!!!! You know who you are... lol
Well, things have really taken a turn with regard to summer plans. We are suddenly on a fast track to sell our place, buy out my sister and take over my mom's house, an 80+ year old Tudor-Norman style with more character than our current stamped-out midcentury tract home could ever dream of having, and in one of this town's most desirable neighborhoods that happens to also be the "gay ZIP code."
We have the daunting task now of clearing out our place as well as Mom's. It's going to be a lot of work but we stand to come out of this with no mortgage payment, money in the bank, tons of equity and a house that's worth way more than the one we currently own even though it needs major updating.
Any trips for us will be local, unless once we get into Mom's place we need to relax and unwind. We'll be able to afford a nice trip if we want to at that point.
Stand by for one last offer re: Mom's plain Jane '49 Westy stove.

Well I finally have some plans
After Wednesday's graveside service for my Dad, (see link) I can look at going to River's Edge Campground in Georgia for a few days in June. When I moved from the Low Country of SC my choir gave me a $125 gas card and being only 2 hours away that will help. I would love to see some friends out in Washinton State but don't think I can find a cheap flight. With 6 weeks vacation I will be working on my Dad's place getting it ready to move into sometime this year. Other than that I plan to spend a lot of time at one of my favorite churches - Our Lady of Beauty Rest. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

OK drmitch
Are you going to plaster that room? I can see where the lathe was that held the plaster. I got started on the guest room plaster repairs this weekend. About 40% done. Everybody told me to rip out the old paster and drywall. No way. I am repairing what is there. I know it will not look like a perfect modern wall but I am pleased so far with the progress. I am finding the original plaster had horse-hair in it throughout the house.
I also painted the walls in my bathroom and have the trim yet to do. I am mahogany grain painting some of the trim in the bath and most of the trim in the guest room.
Keep us abreast of your summer progress (or email me if you think it bores the room as I will do the same) on your house.
I am still looking for some vintage appliances to fit into the house and am open to suggestions always.

Added comment to bread recipe
This weekend I bought 25lbs of Hudson Cream flour. I used to pay $4.79 for this bag, it has now gone up to $11.49 in the last three months.
Sorry, not trying to hijack, just adding on to a previous post.
