Building Up

We are working our way up to Christmas, much like everyone else, we would imagine? Cupcake has been putting the finishing touches on presents and jamming them under the tree.

Lawman is steady baking cookies. Cupcake finds new recipes every day on the Face Place for him to try.

Molasses cookies

Peanut Butter Choco Chip cookies

We had a bit of a snow one day this week,then ice towards the end of the week. Still does not stop us from hanging our laundry outside to dry. Bed sheet day fell on snow day. Or, maybe snow fell on bed sheet day?

The day it snowed, the rolling computer on wheels we named "Death Stroke" popped up a dummy notice it was time to change the oil. We're pretty sure Ford gets a kick out of making us change the oil in the middle of snow weather, or during a summer monsoon. Either way, Lawman gets dripped on every time he's changed the oil.

At least hes not laying in mud

And as promised, every time we change the oil, we give a shout out to "The Outlaw."
In Cupcake's previous life, simple car things turned in to two or more days worth of drama. Cupcake still cringes when there is mention of a vehicle repair. If she could get The Outlaw to change her oil, he would forget to put the new oil in, which caused some serious issues with the motor. One time, he forgot to put brake fluid in after a brake repair. Not that Cupcake uses her brakes that much, but it's still nice to have the option.

That big ol diesel engine sure holds a lot of 710 fluid

The oil got changed, new oil added, and Cupcake is back to keeping the roads hot.
The one meal we cooked this week, Lawman tried something new. He smoked some chicken breasts.

We ended the week with a nap and some finger foods, because this week is another whirlwind adventure for HCA.
