Not as Planned
Hello friends and readers. I hope everyone's Monday went well. I felt like mine should have been incorporated into my weekend. Let me give you my Friday to Sunday.
Well my Friday started like any other weekday, I went to work. It was a slow day at work so I decided to bounce and leave at lunch time. I got something to eat and decided to check out a museum.
This is like no other museum I've been to before. It's an old Union Train Station. Sure a lot of train stuff which is extraordinary but this building contained so many other exhibits.
In the first picture is the reception area and it really is much untouched when the building was built in 1931. It's a great view seeing the vaulted ceilings, hanging chandeliers, beautiful windows, and yes the original decorated floor.
Next photo is an early 20th century rail car that was used in the city. Later on in my journey I walked inside 3 passenger cars and seen a 1890 steam engine train. Also seen some nice train models and a rather large electric train set.
Third photo is of a lunch box. For the record, I love me some Cracker Jacks or Jills. There was an exhibit that show cased hundreds of lunch boxes. I really enjoyed this walk because it brought me back to my childhood.
Fourth photo is that of a buildings made of Legos. Not just any building, the one pictured is the tallest building ever built in the world. Take a guess on it's name in the comments, a little reward to the first one to guess it. In all there were around 20 Lego buildings from North America, Asia, and Australia. The cool thing is they had play stations where you can attempt to make your own.
Last photo is of a tipi. This exhibit had many artifacts and historic information on the Native Americans that once thrived in this area. It was a nice look back in time.
This wasn't it but highlighted some of the more popular exhibits. I spent about 4 hours here and got kicked out when they closed. I probably seen about 80% of the museum. The rest of my Friday I spent delivery driving.
Saturday
I woke up fairly early and worked on the train portion of the museum for my Hive article. It ended up being my most viewed and my highest monetary value article to date. If interested you can read it by clicking here.
Well my plans were to drive after mowing the lawn. This is when my weekend plans changed. I couldn't get the lawn mower started. I pulled and pulled and no go. So I used my limited mechanical skills. While getting the spark plug out I cut my finger. Not a serious cut just needed a bandaid. The spark plug was wet so I dried it off along with where it goes in at. I've done this before and knew the area where the spark plug goes in needed some air. I still tried one more time after wiping down to see if I would have luck but no go. I went inside for a couple hours.
Once inside I worked on that Hive article some more I told you about above. I put down my phone and got something to eat, a simple ham sandwich. After that I went back outside. Put spark plug back in and it fired up with one pull.
I had to do both the front yard and the back yard. The grass was a bit wet and the back yard grass was tall. Of course it was warmer by now. It wasn't long and I was a ball of sweat. Normally it takes about an hour to do both. With the wet grass and the tall grass it took about two and half hours. The lawn mower constantly stalled because it got clogged up with grass. Good thing is it got done!!
Went back inside to try to cool off. I was tired, warn out and hot. I finished up my Hive article and started on another. I ended up taking a shower and just hung out at home doing some other little errands the rest of the night.
Sunday
Once again, up way before you would hear the rooster sounding off, haha. I decided to finish up the second Hive article which was on the lunch box exhibit. I ate breakfast than just chilled for a bit.
A few hours later I ate lunch than went delivery driving pretty much the rest of the day. The weekend did not turn out the way I had envisioned.
The original plans was to delivery drive on Saturday from 11:00 to 8:30 to flex on two delivery apps. I ended up not driving at all and pushed it back to Sunday. Sunday was suppose to be a fishing day but fortunately I did quite well delivery driving as I made a whopping $280!! Not bad for a little over 8 hours of work.
Final thoughts
The weekend didn't go as planned but I'm glad I didn't mope it all away after the incident on Saturday. Sometimes chores become more difficult than what there suppose to be. What do we do? Easy get them done and tackle what's next. Getting to the end of this article I realize I went two for three that's not bad right? Everything can't always go as planned. With that I'm looking forward to next weekend 😎
This is all I have for you today. Take care, be safe and I love you all ❤️
