Monday Fun-day

 Oh Monday, you never cease to amaze me with the things you throw at me.



Who wouldn't be jealous of these shirts?



While we were waiting for Tony this morning to come back from running errands, Kate and I decided to head down to the main office and check out the Miracle Bin. The Miracle Bin to explain for non-CAP people is two large cardboard boxes that are full of donated clothes & other random assorted objects. Anything in the box is up for grabs for CAP volunteers and employees and we occasionally go through the box to see if there is anything we as poor volunteers could utilize. Most of the stuff in the boxes is completely hideous and out of style, but every once in a while you find a miracle - like the American Eagle and JCrew shorts I found last week in my size. However, today was more of the former versus the latter for treasure finds. To pass the time, Kate and I decided to try on some of the more awful attire and each of us picked out a shirt to wear for the first half of our day.

In typical Monday fashion, we also got a flat tire today on Tony's trailer which means that I got to showcase my tire-changing skills once again. So while Kate and Tony took photos, I successfully changed my second tire. Really the pictures say it all...

Disbelief





Anger/Frustration



Doing Work



Part of the tree - over 40in across



After I got the tire changed, we got back on the road and continued our journey to Wheelwright, KY to look at another disaster relief job. At this home, a tree had fallen onto the roof and went through their ceiling. The damage is unbelievable, but from the size of the tree that fell it is not surprising. After looking at the extent of the work needed, our manager decided that the job would take too long so it is going to be referred to another program in CAP which means we get to (finally) go back to our WorkFest job. And I couldn't be more excited.

Overall, not to shabby for a Monday.
