Good morning ya'll. Gris Happy Birthday! I agree with Aunt Sissy, I'm getting old and never thought I'd see it. I still feel 17 inside.
Tee that is a beeeeauuutiful cabinet. I'm sure the lady will surely love and cherish it and pass it down. Fine work.
My dump truck pool lady is finally responsing and apprving of some things so i"m here on my off day to try and get her done. Not sure what's been going on on her end but finally a light at the end of the tunnel.
I got some Christmas stuff out last night, took half a day off since i didn't have work then phone blowed up when I got home. Figured i'd come in this morning and finish that stuff up but it's turning out to be an all dayer.

Good morning, spring on tap today in Arkansas with a sunny sky and high of 72. It's already nice out. I wanted to take off today as I could get all the Christmas stuff done and have a little break in the sun out back to calm my mind. Matt, I emailed that lady 3 times yesterday and left two messages, on on the work phone and one on her cell. She finally responded on some of it. I have re emailed her with her corrections yesterday but nothing again. I figure I'll end up sitting here all day for nothing. I'm at 128 layers on her design and having to adjust and move crap is highly discouraged, which is why I wanted to know just how many kids we will be having on there and if we have them all. If not it's a HUGE PITA for me to rework. NO problem so long as she understands it's $65 an hour at this point. I've tried to be as nice as I can , and would rather not drag her husband into it if i can, but this is HIS new 2121 truck and he's jumping up and down after it. He simply doesn't undersand how all this works. He's one of those who thinks you can just drop something off unannounced and it be ready tomorrow without realizing we have other stuff already in progress that has to be done first and one like his , once design is approved takes several days to install. People watch too much CSI and body shop shows that make it look faster than it really is.
Tis the season for "entitled-minded" clients. Had a couple on the phone got snotty yesterday with me over business tint, that I have zero to do with, and he called to ask for the wrong person too. He doesn't understand that no one was available on a short week right before Thanksgiving when we're already short handed and finishing installs already on the books and scheduled. He thinks we need to drop $25,000 worth of work to do his $300 job. It dont' work like that
Ok, rant over, back to the Christmas festivities...

good morning - warming trend on the way here, a balmy 72 on tap for Thursday and Friday. I'd love to skip work and stay home and just sit in the sun. Nothing else.
I read that story Tommy - it was a great read indeed. Too bad there was never anything done to those murderers I can only hope their family name was permanently disgraced and they suffered immesurable hardships, all those who took up for a murderer. I hate stuff like that, people in politics and wealthy getting away with things because of their clout. Since humans have been on the Earth we've been ruining it.
Not a lot going on at the office today but I will try to get someplace on this dump truck. the truck is here, has been but the wife won't respond to my calls and emails and I'm stuck until she does. If she adds more kid photos to this I literally will have to start over with layout and as complicated as this is, it'll be a two day headache. She apparently dont understand this. I will go ahead an work and log my time and then she'll just get charged an additonal $65 per hour so if she compains it's on her. The husband messaged yesterday mad because it's not done. Dude, talk to your wife ~
Yall have a good day

I cut cable 10+ years ago, haven't missed it .I see enough on Netflix, hulu etc plus Arron has found some free channels but the commercials annoy me so I avoid those. For my local I might could use an antenna but don't as they live stream through their website and FB so I see what I need to that way.

good morning - cool here but will get back up to 60s today they say. Thursday and friday over 70 and sunny. I'd like to be off to enjoy it, matter of fact I might swap days if nothing much is going on around here. Oneta, my cousin in the nursing home is 86 today so went by there yesterday to take her a couple of gifts and cake. She's in good spirits and such but for some reason isn't wanting to get out of bed. they have her bedsore all healed up but she needs to get up some, laying on that one side isn't good for her. thanks to the new (to me) couch I'm about to shop for a new living room rug and new carpet shampooer, one that has an upholstery attachment for the sofa, still doing the deep clean around the house and not half done. Heck I'll never get done.
Y'all have a good day

Tee sorry about your card. I reckon I should check my account now. Haven’t heard of any of it around here. Sorry about Sues wallet too - any can’t people just be honest anymore and turn stuff in untouched?
I’ve not sat still last couple of days it seems like. Nursing home Thursday then gym Friday and picking up here, we tried to rest some, was out all day Saturday went to a couple flea markets in a town over then back to out town then to another town over. Then at 4:50 just ten mins before a mattress place closed we went in to look at one. We been discussing this forever and ended up getting one so that evening was a fiasco. It’s a hybrid, comes all mushed and plastic covered like a roll of carpet. We had foresight enough to set it on the bed as we feared a wampum biscuit type situation. Sure enough, last cut and bam! Thing flopped open like pulling the rip cord on an inflatable raft. Took a day to fully expand but it’s ok so far. Not too expensive.
Yesterday I started deep cleaning here room by room till around 10 last night then at 10 this morning I went with my cousin kenny and his trailer to my friends house to pick up a sofa I bought from her, we hauled my old one outside. Back to nursing home again since it’s her birthday no I’m finally home. Work starts again tomorrow. Where did my weekend go?

Sunny here but very cold, was around 28 when I got up heading to nearby 60 they say. Nothing planned here except I need to go to next town o er and drop off something to ups, mite go to gym too - mite not. Nap sounds better. I also need to pick up a sofa I bought from a friend. I’ve been looking for one and although hers isn’t the perfect fit it’s a good Massoud down one and will blend in here and it’s very comfy. Mine will get put in the driveway in hopes that someone carts it off.

Good afternoon, and happy thanksgiving! Sounds like everybody is blessed so far today and me and mine wish nothing but more blessings to all of you. With Oneta being still sick I opted to take a few things and sit with her during lunch, she needs help to eat and she gets annoyed at them. She ate very well for me, a lot actually, and even wanted up and dressed. First time she’s been out of bed in two weeks. I picked up bbq for us last night to have today for a low key even just us two, and a friend sent leftovers home with me to boot so I don’t have to cook for a few days. Blessed we are.

Good morning - sunny but cool here, high in the 60s , rain due to move in tonight/tomorrow. Fingers crossed for an easy day at the office, bought a couple of things for us to have for late afternoon tomorrow at home, I'll spend lunch hour at the nursing home to try to help get her to eat something. Another relative supposed to take her some supper, we'll see. Not much planned on our end.

Good morning, had a post wrote and window closed by accident so lost it all.
Cold here too, but the sun is out hoping that helps some. Nursing home told me cousin is better but still has a long way to go. Came home last night to some of y'alls favorite activity : plumbing. The city sewer had issues during the night Sunday and yesterday morning Arron observed cleanouts overflowing. Midday, some clean water had leaked from commode, appears there's a seal gone bad. Turns out commode was loose and moved leaving a gap for water to escape. Not much but needs attention so last night we were R&Ring the commode for a new seal and flange. It appears the shitty builder just glued the other one in when it shoul've been bolted and it's all worked loose. The sewer backup exacerbated it I suppose. We will be doing all four bathrooms to avoid a future rehash of that. Fun night. Then Apple is seemingly messing with my devices to get me to upgrade, my phone in particular. Cloud photo upload dont work, Photo app and Image Capture on MAc dont' work, File Ex plorer plug in on PC dont' work nor does any other trick I try to use. Texing is wonky, I can't take photos of the moon anymore it's just a blur. I mean I know they can do this as they got caught jacking with batteries before so is it me or all in my head? Or them? Nothing went right last night.
Today first 5 mintues I'm here and done had someone get pissed off and walk out on me. He needs a logo, needs vehicle decals made, then we figure out he needs a logo designed, he don't have one so okay, logo job plus decal set. I start to ask questions to get a start such as colors he likes, styles he likes, has he seen anything of anyone else's he likes, does he have any ideas on what he's looking for? Does he like bold and colorful, or clean and simple, etc. He gets annoyed but is nervously giggling the entire time. Then he says he thought he could just give me his name and I just "do something" . Well, I can but he may not like what I like and it's not my business, it's HIS so I told him I need some input to make sure i"m headed in the right direction . afterall this is billed hourly so the better start I have the faster this goes and more likely he is to be happy. He just said "a logo with my name in it". Dude, that don't help me NONE. I din't say that but tried to gently prod him for information. I offer our art site for him to browse and said I will look for things as well, and that's when he got mad and left. Okay dude, eff you, I can't do something for you if you refuse to give me anything at all to go on. I can pull stuff out of thin air but like I said, you might not like what I like. I give up for today.
He also got annoyed at me when he did give me his name "Top Gun Hot Shot" to which I replied "cool, a gun range?" for which I had an immediate idea. No, he said it's a delivery service. So my mind starts trying to change gears . I give up, some people you just can't help. I wish him the best . Plus, I was right in the middle of something when he burst in here and just started yakking interrupting me, no knock no call ahead, nothing. No "excuse me" just walked right in with his mouth running disregarding the fact I was working on things for antoher client. LIke I'm supposed to be just sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting on him.
Sorry for the rant, day off to a bad start

Good morning - congratulations on the new arrival Marcus! Glad to hear mom and baby are doing well.
Cool here today but sunny after a day and night of rain, cousin is out of the hospital and back at the nursing home on a very strong antibiotic drip for 10 days. Have issues with hospital staff, nursing home had issues with them too , seems there's an APN that needs to be working in laundry or elsewhere perhaps. Telling a family "I don't know" and not telling a facility you're sending a resident back not cool.
Been pretty busy between her and work, then Friday late ran to Nettleton Mississippi to load up my friend's mom and grandson and all their holiday gear to bring her back here. She's staying the week with my friend, and I was back up at the nursing home yesterday. Back at office Today. I need sleep.
Aunt is working thanksgiving so is her daughter, her other daughter is traveling to Texas, a couple of my cousins will be at his new (to him) house in an adjacent town. I'm thinking me and Arron will call it even, order bbq and sit home in the hot tub. Sounds like a plan.

Arron just sent me pics of somebody's new '22 at his work. Nearly 90 large, I'm not a yellow fan but this does look nice

Good morning,
Missed yesterday, said server error or something like that. I felt like I had a server error of my own, busy. Have the nursing home cousin in the hospital again, UTI issues and the "home" I feel let her go too long without attention, new nurse etc really pisses me off, causing her to suffer. Might get that looked into.
Rained here overnight, we went from summer to fall again and winter will be tomorrow - gotta love Arkansas weather, you never know what you're gonna get till it hits you.
Hope everyone has a good day

Good morning, looks like everybody stayed busy all weekend, including me, except for Sunday when we took a drive to see the fall colors. Drove for hours and the last place right before home ended up being the best. Had we known, we'd have just stayed close by. Oh well, the drive was nice.
Gris sorry to hear of your cat passing and your loss.
Matt, good luck with the lights. What's that line, happy wife happy life?
Got a van and a dump truck to work on - hopefully gym tonight, then get what i need from the sto, then home to fix dinner and clean something. ARron won't be home till prob 9 or later so I can get my crap done.
Later gators

Good morning - cool but muggy here, rained all night so I have a new bucket of rainwater for the outside plants that are now inside. I'll add a tad of fertilizer and hit em all when I get home. Hoping for a slow day at the office, rain moving out, temps should continue to drop. Need to visit the gym after but I still feel like I"m alseep, might be the weather who knows. I feel like I died last night and still not moving fast. I have a trailer and a van to work on but should be done with both by noon.
I suppose all you have holiday plans, turkey day, Christmas etc - but is it my age or what that this year I am absolutely not inclined to bother with either? I feel weird about it but Im just not into it this year. Couldn't care less. Is this a menopause thing where my give a sh*t has left - or rather a "last 2 years of covid, bad economy bad politics" thing?

Good morning - beautiful day here, 70 and sunny. How I'd love to be at home just sitting outside in the peace and quiet. But alas, here I am at that (four letter word) place. My luck some derp in the hood would start banging on something and disturb the peace anyhow. It's all for the good, I wasn't expecting much to happen and had a 16ft trailer show up for a full wrap minus front and he paid in cash. Works for me. Boss is happy.
Hit the gym last night and with my disco on my earpods did a number on the elliptical, then the treadmill, I changed up my stuff a bit so now i'm a bit sore. Went to grocery store after, then gas station, then home to start supper, then also trimmed, sliced and bacon wrapped a beef filet and got that in the freezer. That's enough for one day.
Carry on

^^^agreed! A discount is a discount lol

good morning, looks like everybody had a productive last few days. I stayed off the computer but sat outside yesterday and read through old posts, I posted but looking on the pc today I don't see it. weird. Speaking of ATT and all things phone (which I used for my missing post), I think them or apple one is trying to funnel me into an upgrade. They work together ya know. Nothing on my watch or phone has acted right the last couple weeks. Walked into a pile of work at the office today, hopefully energy maintains and I can get in the gym after work. Then on to Kroger and then home for more stuff to do. The south end heating unit is on the fritz, that makes something or another with all three of em this fall so far. Ready for it to stawp already. Looking like new circuit board. Always something.
But, hey it's nice outside - maybe I can sneak out for a few later.
Y'all have a good one

It's always a Rustang. In Memphis! That's 45 minutes from me. People are getting ignernt

Cold here today, 30 last night so the last of the plants got brought in/dug up. I hate to, rather leave them out they do better but it gets cold here in winter. I'm also in that 6 month winter/summer zone. Seems like winter is longer, suppose not but I guess since it drags by it just feels like that.
I had a go-to mekkie also and I kept with him till he quit, then talking to my body shop friend he recommended Arron. That's how we met. He'd fix my car and was way cheaper than the dealership and he was honest with me. Later on, after my divorce I was redoin my vette with the ex's help and ex bailed on me for most of it so I tried to do it on my own. I could text Arron and he'd tell me what to do next if I got stuck. He came up a time or two and I paid him to get me through a jam such as that very last headbolt havving to be drilled out which turned into an all day job. We went out a time or two then went our separate ways for three years then ended up together in 2016. He has people that come to the dealership to request him also, he can't guarantee but they do ask. He does a ton of work on the side for some folks as well, plus some people will bring things to the house and drop off for him. He's got an engine swap next week that I'm not sure how he plans to do since he can only lift 10 pounds per his doc. I offered to do what I could to help him so that might be "our" date weekend ha.
Soooo - anyone know about the Biden pooping his pants ordeal? Been seening a ton of jokes online regarding.
Seems as though some mid term elections are swapping things around as well.

Morning everyone, chilly here at 43 plus rain during the night and into the morning. Have a few things on list at the office, then some stuff to do at home try to get back in my groove of things here. Need to be back at the beach it's 75 there.
Hope everybody has a good day

good morning - hope everybody had a good weekend -
very sorry to hear the loss of your friend, Tee. Prayers
Bob - take the retirement. Life is too short - we need to take time to enjoy the beauty around us.
Cold here now, all plants except a tree are inside, tree will hold another day or two but want to get it over with, ran out of daylight. Vaca was nice, tried to stay disconnected. Red, tide, beach renourishment and a not-so-nice condo contributed to the lack of fun but we tried to make the best of it anyway. Got a partial refund from agency but probably won't use them again. Back at work and walked right into three wasp nests while parusing the week's emails I missed. Apparently there's been some printing/installation issues with our new guy and I didn't see him here when I arrived. Business as usual. Y'all have a good day

Good evening, cool, must and breezy here in Panama City Beach. Got here noon yesterday, bike rally then to the condo. Sleep was much welcomed.
Tee your friends are lucky indeed. Bob, if you have the slightest negative vibe on surgery, get a second opinion/doc. I’d follow up with original to see wtf and go with my feelings. Best wishes on what you do choose.
My theory on the vaccine is that it alters your immune system. You normally have a natural broad spectrum immune system, but the vax allegedly alters that so that covid is targeted, thereby shutting off your immunity to other things . Also, previous vaccines were intended to obliterate whatever they were for, this merely helps with symptoms. And it was politicized to start with, dems including our own VP refusing for no other reason than it was a “Trump “ vaccine. Also, the same govt that told you to put ddt on your kid for mosquitoes, that mercury and margarine were safe and agent orange was a non- issue , lends itself to being non credible about this one.
Speaking of, grid so sorry about your service injuries. I have friends that were injured and one died of AO related cancer - prayers

Month is def flying by. Whole year blurred past it seems. Wish this drive would go that fast. In middle of Mississippi somewhere on way to beach. Left around 2:30, bike fest goin on he wants to see someone me of. Check in isn’t till 4 so we’ll go do that then get unloaded . Might come back out fir the live music later. No sleep, gonna be a long day
Y’all have a good Saturday

Good mornng - beautiful sunny day here, not too cool but warming up later, appears we had a little rain during the night. Hoping for an easy day at work, go get my nails done after and go home and rest with some grilled chicken and veggies for super. That's the plan anyway.
Y'all have a good day

Welcome back and hello. I loved my 96 C4, wished I'd kept it. The C5 I hated, the C6 reminds me of my C4 but newer with more toys. C4s were great cars, they all have their issues, just did the temp door, actuators etc on my '12.

Good morning, three more sleeps till Im at the beach. Can't wait and much needed. Yard got mowed last night, I went to the gym, he got up and dusted some things for me, but that's bout all the moving he needs to do. Tonight I'll get some more cleaning done, fix supper, some laundry. A little each night so I don't have to do it all last minute.
Bob, yes things do break in threes, seems like everything happens in threes. Sometimes that's a good thing. Often not.
Chili out this morning but today should be 81. Wish I was home to sit outside and enjoy it, I'll try to sneak out some today.
For the moment, I need to figure out how to put 28 kids in random bubbles on the side of a dump truck and it not look stupid but yet try to pull off what she sent me she wants which won't work in the layout of space I have to work with. I've got a short rectangle and she sent me a portrait style layout. Not gonna happen, but I'll do what I can. I'm told we have this fleet account because she likes to work with me even though someone closer to their home store is cheaper so I do what I can to keep her happy.

Good morning - I could see my breath out this morning but it's warming up to mid 70s daily, perfect afternoons here. Tomorrow will be 80. Hoping for a slow day and no drama today, the lady we were going to court with over her airstream - the judge ruled in our favor. She's mad as hell and stomped around and yelled out at the judge about appealing, and determined she would. Whatever. Our notes were that we did all we possibly could to make her happy, wrapped things that we didn't even have to cover, redid her layout completely 3 times plus three new logos (logo designs are separate and she was told this ahead of time), so she racked up additional design time. We hit her with $40/day storage also since she refused to come get it. That alone was like thousands. We ended up dropping that and letting her off with balance due of $1800 just to get her out of our hair and come get her POS trailer. It's gone and hopefully she is also. Brighter days ahead. I also found a court case website for here and trolled, her, she's no stranger to courts apparently.
Y'all have a great Tuesday

I'm getting those prompts also here at the office. I don't like 10 nevermind 11.
Fall has fell around here, it's in the upper 40s when we get up but quickly hits near 80.
Where did my weekend go? Seems I've not stopped. Friday, busy when I got home after gym, nursing home Saturday, then home to do more stuff, yesterday tried to rest, heard a cold front was coming and went ahead and got a bunch of plants in, the giant aloe (40" just plant), two palms, a monstera deliciosa and a few others. More tonight after gym then some house cleaning to start. Worked on my off day
Getting ready to hit the road Saturday for a week off. Arron's back is still out, worried about him and the trip.
Very cool photos John. That stained glass looking archway thing I want one, I want that plane too!
Cool song Marcus, not sure how the BBQ is in Little Rock though, that's usually a Memphis thang. I go there to flea market some though, nice river view from a hotel I've stayed at a time or three.
Tommy good job shinin up that ride, you can do mine next if you have a minute lol
Bout to hit the bricks, I have a dump truck to lay out and a storefront for someone else who said they'd let "their guy" do their design and he sent me a nasty mess. I sent it back, we'll see what happens.

welp, I just learned a new trick. I messaged Arron at home to inquire about my windows not going back up when I get out of the car. If this happens to you, try this:
Get in the car and put it in auxiliary mode, roll window down and hold switch 5 seconds, roll back up and hold 5 seconds. That fixed it.

Good morning Gris - happy Sequoyah Day -
its' Happy Friyay here - I'm working my off days so I"ll still get paid while I'm on vaca. We ride at dawn next Saturday, or rather, before. Should put us there in time to visit the bike fest happening prior to our check in. Then we can have dinner and go back for some music that night.
Yes Tee, actually I think I will have to call a mekkie lol. Poor Arron's back is out, my car is done but now I've discovered my window stays down a hair. It drops a bit to let you in and out of the car to clear that trim on the side of the top but it won't go back up now. Just one side. We are projected rain today.
Hope everyone has a good day

Good morning - warm and slightly muggy here - rain due in later they say. Finally slept some last night so I feel better. That's cause BF slept in other room as he's hurt his back. I think we just need two twin beds like years ago. They knew what they were doing.
Got home last night and Arron got my car back together, foudn the source of my top squeaking also - there's a set pin up there that had broken loose, new part ordered so I ought to have some peace for a while again. Also, this morning turned on the air and it blew my hair off it felt like. This may very well be the first time that I have had a Corvette that when I switch the heat to "floor" my feet actually get warm. Happy as a dead pig in the sunshine over this.
Hoping for an uneventful work day today, loads of stuff to do when I get home.
Enjoy your vaca Tee - we'll be on ours in the Rendneck Riviera starting the 23rd.
Y'all have a good day
But before you go here's some cool news:

enjoy your ride sir, and thank you for your service

https://www.carscoops.com/2021/10/95-y ... zOtEFwb192bGTfhuVaVASivEA

Happy heavenly birthday to your son, and prayers your way

good morning everybody - warm out but gloomy, rain chances off and on, midway through the work week, weekend needs to get on with it, I have stuff to do. Sitting here in an office with slow work flow makes for a long day and week.
Car progress made, dash going back in, he's hurt his back so it's going slower. I also think in the process of removing my top a bolt sheared off there. Later investigation into that. I hear my bed calling me back.
Y'all have a good day

Bob,
I'm very sorry to hear what you are dealing with, the scope of which I, myself probably could never handle. Medicine has come a tremendously long way in recent years, in regards to digestive issues, among other things. I have had a friend and another family member to need surgical intervention to overcome issues and resume a normal life. Please do not discount Cleveland Clinic or wherever else you can find help. You have my prayers on this end and friends here as well. Vent anytime, reach out when you need to. We all need to and it helps to have soemone to talk to.

Morning all,
beautiful day here today, 81 for the high, sunny and low humidity. Lows start getting lower after today and tomorrow. If we were gonna be in the pool one more time, today would be the day. If I wasn't already on a short schedule i'd take off today and stay home just for that. Need to go to the gym after work today, then pick up a couple things at the store, also need to go home and do a few things. Not enough time. I plan to drag some of the plants in Saturday after I get out of the nursing home.
Hope everyone has a good day

Good morining - what's left of it. Weather is gloomy here, rain due in about an hour. Tee yes that cold front is headed for us. By the weekend we're due to have around 48-50 for lows in the middle of a 90 degree day then that's it. Fall is here they say. Time for me to get my plants in. I like to leave them out long as I can as it gets crowded in the house. I can't stand that. I need to live where Tommy does so I won't have to worry about bringing in stuff. I need to get it done before our trip anyway. Wanted to wait but need it over with.
Already been at my doc this morning. Went to her years ago to get hormone issues corrected and now that I'm officially old we're re-evaluating everything. Might be a change of HRT and change of supplements. I'm already working on the diet and exercise part but can't beat science to fill those gaps.
On a different tone, if you've never seen the dash tore out of your car lookie here: My temp actuator things, mode thingies and recirculation something or anothers were out. My recirc filter was crammed in the hole keeping that door open instead of put back in there right thanks to some oil change moron, then once he tore into it, some other door thingie was broke. That has to be ordered. I'm out of wheels for the week it appears.

Good morning, perfect 77, breezy and beautiful out for my morning coffee.
Got bike out for a long ride yesterday, saw some cool old junk cars in a weed patch i wand to go back and pilfer. Today will be just sitting around. Doc appointment tomorrow then off to work.
Lazy Sunday

Good morning - perfect beautiful day today here. There’s a bike fest in the Ozarks today I wanted to go to but got my weekends mixed up so I guess we’ll miss that. Really wanted to go. They’re having the local town festival here today at the park at the end of our street. I told Arron I wanted away this weekend, suggested take the bike and end up where we end up. Forgot about that festival. Got us booked for 23-30 at the red neck riviera (Panama city beach). Not where I wanted but stuff was filling up quick.
Tee that was really sweet what you did for that lady. I try to help people when an opportunity arises but have found myself being taken advantage of lately by a couple folks and one family member.
Y’all have a good weekend

Good morning -
Yes, hope it wasn't your friend's car on that truck yesterday Marcus. That was awful I hate it for those who were waiting on those, hate it for the driver just all around bad.
Matt, when I worked at the body shop, I'd use a pinstripe brush for my touchups, the flexibility was nice. Of course I sanded edges of the chip when needed to help smooth, then glide brush across with light motions then would use compound after if necessary. Pearl white I've found you can't touch up it shows no matter what. I hate that color for that reason.
Rained again here during the night and a very heavy dew this morning to boot. Chances again this weekend - I just wanted a nice day to be in the pool and not have to be anywhere else - not in the cards, pool getting too cold to get into thanks to the neighbor's trees. We really need to get a heater for it somehow.
Have some photo critiquing to do for a photography friend later today which'll be a long phone call. He's trying to get into big bands with his concert photography, he shot two songs of Kiss in Biloxi the other night. He dropboxed me a ton of his edited shots for me to give my take on and suggest what else to fix, unfix etc. I've got my notes ready.

good morning! Hope everybody has a good day in store and Tee gets his supplies. I can understand that hassle - we are getting pushed back on stuff up here owner says. He's ordered stuff to be overnighted only for it to come a week later. I end up being the one getting the calls from mad clients.
Gloomy out to day, rain on schedule possibly through weekend. I guess "that time of year" where it's gloomy all the time is almost here. Vette club meeting last night, one dude has a c2 he's always wanted, big block, flame paint, etc. Another has a museum delivery of a '22 scheduled so we may go there with him as a club trip. Here I set in my little 2012 beater lol.

Good mornin - just trying to get to work today was work. Hoping I can have a do-nothing kinda day here, I need to rest. Dodging mowing trucks, trying to stop and slid on the grass where the idiot blew it out into the road, poke-ass people in front of me that wouldn't go and I needed to get gas. Stopped at the local, pumps out but they didn't put out the normal signal of bag on handle. Nope. Just a teenyweeny sign on the pump by the card slot. Other pump was taken over by dingbat using it for parking spot only. Next stop in next town, card reader wouldn't work, had to go in. Now I"m late for work and get here, no parking spot, they parked customer stuff over in the employee area. Waiting on someone to come yell at me for parking in customer spots up front.
I'd rather be home mowing (needed) or plumbing or whatever other horrible chores awaits. Vette club meeting tonight so will be home late but at least I won't have to cook.

Good evening y’all- glad to see everybody kept busy over the weekend - here too somewhat. Friday I ran my socks off, got rained on and got home late , Saturday was Arrons birthday, so cake and fixings. He made a $10 dog treat run to Walmart and came home with his own birthday present- $400 later - a blow up hot tub. I was skeptical but this is groovy. Heard to 104, color changing led lights, freeze guard, quiet motor, very rigid and durable. Sunday Captain Noisy over on the other side of the street wouldn’t quit so we went to Memphis to flea markets.today I’ve cleaned house, mopped , vacuumed and cleaned and rearranged the back patio . His hot tub bumped my big hammock so had to make stuff fit.

This year has gone in a flash and I don't know where it went. Seems I've only got to be in our pool a couple of times, and never a whole day or a whole weekend at that. Now it's too cold really. Raining today but still warm outside. Crazy day at work already and I've only been here an hour. Rush jobs on crap then due to the rushing and (at least) 20 revises and last minute mess, they printed wrong size for one client. If they work, she'll get them for the smaller size price -fingers crossed. I told her already we cannot accommodate last minute orders at this time due to it being our busy season as well as difficulty getting materials. He has wrap installs lined up ahead of small jobs right now he won't pull off of and I don't blame him. Fleet work for two of our largest clients. I'm pulling my hair out in here.
Y'all have a good day, I might have to check on that whiskey mentioned for myself. He drinks beer or yager, I'm the whiskey sipper.

Mornin' - overcast here and waiting on rain also. Supposed to be off and on for the week here. Feels nice outside though, would love to stayed home today but work to do.
My pool lady sent me a third truck, says dump truck coming in 2 months.
Arron's bday is Saturday so might get the blow up spa set up in time for him to relax. I have no idea what to get him as a gift though now since he's done gone and bought it himself. Have his favorte cake ordered, maybe that and a pack of beer ought to do it.
Have a great day yall.

good afternoon - been quite busy at the office this morning, very beautiful out today, would rather be home. I need to get us a vaca condo booked asap at the Redneck Riviera before they're all gone.
Something about A/C door things on Vettes. Every single one of my door actuators are out. BF not pleased as he's busy enough and hasn't had time to do them. He did one, then afte we figured out the rest needed it so it all has to come apart again.
Thanks to wally world, we have a new redneck toy. Arron went there last night to get dog treats and $400 later came home with a 'portable spa'. I'm not into spending thousands for a real one, would love one made into the pool but that's like 20 grand , so he saw this one.
it has color changing lights, air jet things and such, we'll just put it up under the patio. video attached.

Good afternoon - been an absolutely beautiful weekend here. We e just loaded around most of it - usual nursing home Friday visit, stayed out here to myself after. Flea markets and two restaurants , motorcycle rides and pool time took up the weekend. We needed it. Gym today then I’m outside for one more afternoon to myself.
Good way to start spoiling the grand, Marcus. Nice! Cool catalog Matt!
Very sorry for your loss, Tee, prayers

I should make a list, lol. I have no kids, just Arron and if I go before him, he won't know what to do with stuff. Heaven forbid he sells my larges bittersweet L.E. Smith swung vase for $25 when it's worth $500, I'd roll over in my grave lmao. Seriously tho, we need to sit down and get a plan in place.

Morning ya'll - Tommmy, I"m not sure how old you are but I"m 53 and I've been thinking of things like that for years. I often think of where I'll be when my health declines, and after dealing with nursing homes, I flatly refuse that. I'll put a cap in it before that happens I think. I'm one of those you mention that nobody checks on, looks in on etc, I live mostly by myself. I know I techinically live with Arron however he's hardly there. Those that do reach out to me want to borrow money or need help with something and that's bout it. I often wake up at night thinking of these things, all my life's failures and regrets. My neurologist calls it "end of life depression" and says theres no reason I should be thinking these things. Can't help it. On brighter news it's beautiful here today, although cold, due to warm up to around 80. Perfect. Hoping for a slow day at the office today, didn't sleep well so not in the mood for bs today. Rather just sit here and try to find the end of the internet. Fingers crossed I make the congressman's secretary happy so we can get that project off and done. I have a new pool truck here so that's to start. Third one from them in a month. That must be where the money is.

Morning everyone - congrats grandpa Marcus! beautiful baby!
Fall weather here this morning, 40's projected low tonight i think then temps climb back up. I do not like fall, it's often very hot outside and then you want to get in the pool and the pool is 68*. I need a pool heater but at a quote of ten grand that's not gonna ever happen. I can buy a car with that or something else I need more. got a trailer coming at 11, have another dodge 3500 quad utility out there waiting on me, and a sh*t ton of stuff to do for our congressman for some event he's having, keeping the owner stressed with tons of install work.
Y'all have a good day

good morning - beautiful here but muggy, when I left for work I saw why, very dark clouds coming in over town, rain due in off and on today, got to work before it hit. Have to high rise Sprinter vans to get ready for print today, hoping that's about it. Saw an email about a couple of trailers but that's in quote process at the moment.
Needing to get a quick vaca booked for mid October - thinking Redneck Riviera (Pensacola area), that we can drive to and still be at a beach. Never been there in Oct hoping we can dodge storms.
Not much happened yesterday, took advantage of some sun and warm pool water and just sat around. Just sitting around entailed four loads of laundry, vacuuming, mopping, shampooing a rug, dusting and I managed to get in 10,000 steps for a "sitting around" day. Not too shabby, aiming for gym tonight if I feel like it later.
Marcus - grandchild? Pics? Congrats!!
