Mr. Energizer Bunny

My dad just left yesterday after a two week visit. First off, he drove here from NY in a little less than 35 hours. Straight. According to google maps the trip is about 1770 miles. When we go home for our vacation it's going to take us three days. He did it in 35 hours. He'll tell you that he stopped to sleep for a while, but I don't think 45 minutes behind the wheel of a tiny little pick up in a rest stop parking lot really counts for much of anything. During his visit he completed every single thing that was on my "honey-do" list that I had started for Brian. He even fixed a few things that broke while he was here. Here's the list: he replaced all five filters in my reverse osmosis system, repaired plumping under the kitchen sink, repaired two door handles, fixed a light fixture that hasn't worked since we moved in (that one required numerous hours in my 130 degree attic), fixed an outlet in Kenny's room that hasn't worked since we moved in, rerouted the central a/c condensation system so that the water empties on the side of the house that we don't even go near (if you've ever been to my house and had to avoid the pool of water by my back door you'll appreciate that one), repaired the metal fencing stuff that holds the gravel around the outside of my privacy fence (that the garbage men ran over with their truck while he was here), placed door stoppers behind my interior doors so that we don't make any more holes in the wall when the doors get opened too far, fixed my lawnmower, fixed my dryer, hung my extremely large ladder on the fence so it isn't sitting in the grass any more, aired up the tires on my truck, and planted some nice pretty bushes in the back yard. I am sure there is more, but I just can't even remember it all. He was busy and productive every single day he was here. To top it all off, he left yesterday morning and took one of my dogs with him to make my trip easier on me. Somehow in all of that he found time to hang out with the boys and help me with everything that I did to support the Ludwigsen family while they were here. He kinda reminds me of someone else I know.
