Happy birthday Tommy!

good morning, sticky here too, heat advisories. Slept in this morning, would still like to be asleep but I have places to be in a bit. I still have an hour for more coffee though. Have a therapy appt, need to go by pharmacy, need to make a return to Academy sports, need to hit the gym, a flea market or two. usual stuff

Getting older is definitely crappy. I hope you are back to where you were once, as for myself. I'm trying. Of course as women, we have different obstacles at my age. And, I recently learned that women age faster than men once they hit menopause. Figures. Hot today, heat indexes will not be under 100 through the end of next month. I love summer, the way it used to be, 100 every rare now and then. Now it's constant and I can't handle it nor can my yard or plants. Wish I could move.

Older cars also had a coochie cooler. Need that feature to make a return. Sunny today and muggy as heck. Surprise downpour yesterday and a bit again last night. At least yard and plants are watered. Got some quotes I'm trying to gather and let owner know he horribly under quoted a job, he didn't realize what all it entailed. Another quote will shock somebody by the time I add equipment rentals. Not worried, two of those folks were mouthy smartasses anyway. I can't stand rednecks that want to run their yap about stuff they know nothing about. Neither of the dudes were aware they were on the secretary's phone on speaker while she was on the phone with me and I heard every word. She apologized for them, but still. Hate to say it, but some folks you just rather not do business with if you have to put up with that mess.

sky just opened up here, was on the phone and heard a racket, got up to so much rain, couldn't hardly see the truck in the parking lot. Now, it looks like it never happened. A calm day has turned into a mess. Trying to quote a school on window perfs, upper story, difficult reach, will need to rent an articulating boom truck, and since we have to get one, the "maintenance" dood at the school thinks we're unprofessional. I can't stand rednecks. How else he think we're supposed to get up there? Can't stand on the "roof" under the upper level windows so what else are we to do? Fly like superman? And, then wants us to get up in the air to measure those, okay fine, but there's that pesky equipment rental charge again. I'm not in the mood for rude ass folks today. So far my measurements from them is a 24-foot wide section but there's two other sections and they swear it's all 24ft. No way on God's green earth, more like 50. Assuming 24 feet with rentals and other stuff I'm at a minimum of around 12 grand. Ready for the day to end.

Good morning, sunny here but not as hot, appears we got some more rain last night. My plants are happy. Looks like clouds rolling in for an overcast day, fine by me if it stays cooler. Trying to motivate myself to get my back patio in order since I've let it get junked up. I need to weed spray the yard but not if it's gonna rain. The stuff says rainfast in an hour or so but I don't trust that.

we need pics of the Fury.
I might be helping drag home a Malibu. Waiting on more details. I'll also probably be paying for it, unless he trades work. We shall see.

Good morning, Gris.
Hot already here today, got some needed rain last night. We got out and roamed around yesterday and was in and out of rain and all the way home. Still a nice day. Nothing planned today really, wanted to sleep late but woke up from a dream and just dozed so go on up. CAlling for cloudy later so might sit in the pool awhile then come in here and clean or find something productive.

They could have made changing C4 batteries a lot easier, there's a million other ways they could have done that to take a few minutes and not half a day.
We've been here 9 years, and I'm ready to GTFO already. With Oneta gone, we don't have parents or kids, he has one brother he only hears from when he needs something, that's it so no reason to stay here. Car is 10 years old now, never meant to keep it. Time flies. I do feel yall on the fatigue after a surgery. It's been just over 2 years I lost my kidney and I still am not back to normal, may never be. I can no longer get out in the heat like this and do stuff. I did Sunday afternoon , stayed hydrated and still could not move the next day and was overly fatigued til late yesterday. Skipped boxing all week long.

Good morning Gris. Hot as heck here today and I have to measure a black truck and trailer later. I'll melt. At least it's work coming in, can't complain there. The truck was a decal job that turned into a full wrap and the trailer is an add-on to other units from the same guy. He bought into a motorcycle racing outfit and is doing three large vans, truck and trailer. I also have a school I quoted for several large windows, around $7k and it is a go now and I've just picked up the elementary school from the same location. Seems I either have zero to do or I'm covered up. Keeps the paychecks rolling in. Office has moved across street to new shop and printer is up and running, laminator needs worked on. I'm still over here in the old office with owner's daughter, SIL and son. Just soon stay here. I get along with them fine and it's nice and quiet. My office will be larger over there but more furniture pieces. I will at least have a door with glass I can see out of, but no view for crap.

Good afternoon, too hot here to want to do anything, still fatigued from Sunday's mess of weed pulling in the sun for hours. Will try to be at boxing tomorrow night. Considered coming home and getting in pool but it's beyond hot out and I honestly don't feel like changing. Nothing much to report here

"self inflicted" - aren't they always when it comes to notable folks in politics.
Also saw where there was no actual "Epstein client list". Sure there's not wink wink. Just too many political figures and dignitaries and billionaires on it for anyone to be able to see it, the world would shut down.
Overcast here but sun is out now. Been over to the new office to measure for furniture arrangement and drop off some stuff. Not sure when I'll be moved over, just soon stay over here. They had me a phone set up and when I went to get it, all the owner's personal calls and texts were going to it. I hit the shady button on one then heard his cell ring so they have the lines set up to ring me first then if I don't answer it rings him. right backwards kinda. My line is only supposed to ring if the call is actually for me. I trie to tell him he was going about this all wrong but of course he didn't listen since he thinks he knows everything "because he's the owner". Any idiot can own a business but the real flex is knowing when to listen to someone that knows more about something than you do.

Good morning Gris. I saw where folks were blaming Trump for a flood. Diabolical. I thought it was a satire post but sadly it wasn't. How can you possibly blame a singular person for a natural event? Boggles my mind the thought patterns of folks.
Ended up pulling weeds all afternoon yesterday. It was beyond hot, Arron brought me a fan out and a patio umbrella. Why have I not thought of that before? I shall pull weeds like that from now on. I still got hot and sweated gallons but got a lot of flowerbed cleaned up. Still have a lot to do. It came a good heavy rain in the middle of my work so that gave me a bit of a break. Pool time after then a giant steak on the grill. I bought a 2 pack at Kroger on the 4th, was $9.99/lb and the pack was 4lb overall so each steak about 2. It was the best. I'm sore as all heck today so not much planned here.

I had a 32oz cup of coffee yesterday and 18 today, still not feeling it. It's hot and muggy out. Arron sent the truck home yesterday $500 extra for all the headache so $2k total, and it will still need lifters redone at some point. Dude ordered Chinese ones and they're pecking. Cheaply made. He's mowing yard today, I need to go pull weeds but it's so hot. I really wanted to do something fun this weekend but he failed to take Monday off, and then this truck needed gone and out of our hair. Motor job also completed and sent home. So it wasn't all in vain. More coffee and a cinnamon roll maybe I'll get my weeds pulled

Good afternoon, still hot and muggy here. Fireworks were beautiful last night down the road at the park. Could see them from the yard, then got in the truck later and drove around a bit looking at some. New neighbors over here in the new developed area spent some bucks, they had a nice display too. Just the two of us here so slept in, then sat around with breakfast and coffee then sat in pool a bit. Later went to town for some groceries since stores were empty, picked up steak takeout and came home. I think he's gonna finish the truck today and the most I've accomplished is getting a shower.

Good morning, fireworks started here last night, neighbor across street shooting some over the field so I could see from front door. Some at the ballpark down the street tonight plus food trucks, an event to benefit a local charity that helps kids. We'll probably go to that one, or go on to next town over both big radio stations put on a show every year. Arron has a camshaft to put into a truck, a job for something else turned into a couple of teardowns for this truck, he's mad and wants it gone it's been here 3 weeks. Dude ordered parts off Ebay first and got wrong year, then reordered another kit and it was missing some things he needed, then dude didn't tell him waterpump housing was busted or something so then he had to take stuff off again and wait on a part to fix that, then something with camshaft , so had to tear down again. He's planning to fix it today and get it out of here. He's given the guy a piece of his mind already since the dude calling trying to pressure him to get it done, and he got promptly informed it would've been done long ago if it wasn't for his own stupidity, ordering wrong parts, missing parts, chinese parts etc. And Arron had a motor swap lined up that next weekend as this truck would have been gone, so the motor swap happened and this truck was pushed out to get that done. People piss me off. He can stay in shop today I'll sit in the pool since we obviously won't be going anywhere like I'd planned. He was supposed to put in for Monday off so we'd have a long weekend and he forgot. Figures.

Warm here, not as bad as yesterday but headed there. Tee those implements look painful but it's wonderful what they can do to fix us nowdays. When doc put a screw in the top of my foot after bunion surgery I ended up asking him to take it out once healed. It drove me nuts. Soon as it cleared the bone during removal I instantly felt better. He said nobody has ever asked to have hardware removed. Told me I'd not be able to bend my toe but I can, also said that was unusual. Whatever it takes for us to not be in pain I say go for it. Have a couple things to do at work today, have stuff boxed up but ran out of boxes. If they move my desk, I"ll move my stuff then bring whatever boxes back and reload.

Good morning, hot here soon as I walked out this morning, like an oven. I feel for those having to work out in it. Guys here got the printer and laminator, and the back cut table moved over the weekend, pretty much cleared out. They have small stuff to get still. I'll probably move over next week, but I've gathered up some of the stuff I'm not using and boxed that up, but I need a couple more boxes. At least I don't have any projects really pending, just a couple small things and they are aware we are moving and aren't in any real hurry. The printer and laminator have to be working first, and there's a van that needs to go out tonight they need to get done. Kinda crazy around here.

sunny here off and on, muggy - we keep getting told it's gonna rain, and we need it. Not seen it. Although after all the flooding and monsoons the last couple months I never thought Id say we needed rain. Seems there's a dome over town as what we need goes right around us. Too bad that dome wasn't there for all the other junk we didn't need. Got the big headboard outta the spare room, got the replacement I recently picked up put in there. Had a gal lined up to get old one at 10am, she was on my doorstep at 820 ringing door bell, calling me in messenger, and knocking on glass door. I finally woke up about 9, had alarm set for 915. Pissed off is the least of it. I'm still groggy. I take Lunesta and Mondays are my day off and I sleep in. Has totally shot my day. Then she wanted to stand around and talk and "catch up". Shit no, git on outta here let me get some coffee. UGH. I was nice but I'm still mad. Next time imma just set it out in the yard and let it be. Happy monday

Good morning, Gris, what's left of it. overcast here, supposed to rain three days, not a drop. Poured on me on the way home yesterday, nothing here where I need it. Of course after 4 months of monsoons I can't believe I'm asking for rain but it's been right at 100 here with none for the last few days. I tried to sleep late too, but ended up not sleeping at all, was still up at 4. I dozed some then got on up. Will be a long day, had stuff planned but might wait till tomorrow. Arron is out in search of bacon, I didn't know to get any when I was out. I'd just as soon have cereal, he's hellbent on the works. Picked up a 1950's chrome waffle iron yesterday, used to have mom's and let it go to a friend that peddled junk at the local hillbilly auction. I saw it for $3 and thought I saw it before. Shop guy said a local lady that collects things is thinning the herd and brought some stuff over, two other items I also got. It almost HAS to be my mom's. We brought it from California when we moved here in 1973, real slim chance anyone else around here would have one. I remember every detail of this thing. Didn't have a cord but I had one that worked, will look for an original. Also picked up a vintage Panasonic cassette player that works perfect.

If my truck is correct, it's 100 out. Humidity is maxed out too feels like. Just had another doc appt for me, and one more tomorrow then I'm done till August. Stressy as heck at work, finished up the Budweiser job, then trying to get caught up on wraps, and now I have a last minute one apparently he promised - not sure why - we're also in the process of moving across the street, he sold the tint part out to his daughter and SIL, I'll be the last to go. Printers and other stuff has to go first, and of course whatever they were doing to the floor over there, ain't done so can't move stuff and we are supposed to be out of here by the 1st. Don't see it happening. I'm now told to be here Monday, not sure what for. If he thinks I'm coming up here on my one day off to move shit, he's nuts and it will cost him about $500.

Where is everybody?
Hot again here today, will be next couple weeks. Things have slowed down for me in the office but we have a large yard sign/banner job for the local radio station we trade with so will be assembling all that mess. I hate doing those, but we all help out where we can. I skipped boxing last night, I overdid myself working at home Monday evening so I'll try to go tonight. Tonight is technique anyway and I need that more so it works out. We're also in the middle of moving our office across the street so things are a bit haywire up here. I think the printers, laminators, plotters and mess will go this weekend. I'll be the last to make the move and would rather move my stuff myself. I know how those two dudes will handle stuff if I don't.

good morning Gris - all kids of hot and humid here, same as yesterday I'll guess, 94 for the high with heat index of 104, humidity at 75 and dewpoint the same. Was too stuffy and muggy for me to even have my coffee on the back patio this morning. Sure do miss those spring mornings for peaceful coffee to start the day. I worked till 10pm in the house last night, don't look like I got much done but did sort some stuff and get rid of a few things. Tommy, I'm adding to my toss-it box so if you have good junk, holler! Soon as I get a cord, I'll have a shiny new-to-me 1950s chrome waffle iron to use. I had moms, not sure what happened to it, probably ended up given away when I moved. I have missed it so I found another for $3. I started off to do laundry, then ended up in kitchen, then "squirrel" and I'm cleaning out cabinets, and back and forth to other unrelated tasks. that's neurodivergence for you.
Make it a great day

humid here and headed up to 94 with triple digit heat index. Was up way earlier than I wanted to be, one more cup of coffee to go. Gonna start some laundry, sit in the pool a bit then when it gets hot out there I'll come back inside to see what else I can get done. I need to swap the headboard out in the spare room but as huge as that is, I can't move it by myself. Planned to do it yesterday evening, neither of us was in the mood to mess with it.

Hot as all get out here, again. I was just fussing about all the rain but at least the temps were on point. This 100 degree crap is nuts. I like a rain every other day, just enough to water the grass and plants. The monsoons and generational floods we got were nonsense. Of course mother nature can't spread that crap out through the year like we need it. Reminds me that I forgot to order parts to install a sprinkler system here. I still need to do that. Arron was up before 8 today, ran to MdD's and brought me back a "lamborghini coffee" as he calls it. That plus my Vyvance med should have me up and about soon enough. Pool was 93 yesterday but weirdly felt refreshing. May try here in a bit and check it out. Would like to hit some flea markets today and get the new headboard in place so I can get rid of the other one.

They sure did. This lists as Maple and although this isn't mine, the one I bought is identical except not as orangy. It's on my back patio upside down now and does appear to be all solid.
It isn't a match to the bedroom suite that's in there but it will blend just fine, minus the colonial trim. They had another that I liked but it was a full and I do need at least a queen in that room. I also picked up a very old, new condition iron. My "new" one leaks and is crappy, I'll bet this old one will outlast anything. I seem to be missing my mom's 50s chrome waffle iron too so got one of those for $2, plus a yellow Sunbeam mixer about the same era. I need cords for them but that's usually not an issue.

Hot as all get out here, 95 but feels like twice that. You walk outside and instantly start sweating. I scoped out a new headboard for the spare room, so we went to fetch that just a bit ago. It's an Ethan Allen bookcase king/queen headboard I think from 1962. Saw one on FB for 800, saw a full for 1300. I can't see that, I paid $30. Saw another the style I preferred but it was only a full and I need a queen, as we have some couples friends that stay sometimes when they're in town. That full size headboard was listed around $450 when I looked it up. I sent a pic to a friend as I know she was looking too, but if she don't go get it, for $20 I will and sell it. Boxing group meeting tonight for food, Arron is working a side job til then and I want to get in the pool. Water is 90 so that might be a no go.

Hot as a $2 hooker here, 95 and heat index triple digits. Of course it's humid Arkansas. Spring was ruined with rain when the pool was nice enough to get it, now the pool feels like a bathtub. I need a pool water cooler in addition to the pool water heater.
Sorry about the sale, Tommy and the new contraption and meds.
Been to gym to just walk a bit today, since boxing last night was intense, then go to Aldi and Restore and came home. I found a old bookcase style headboard I plan to get if I can twist Arron's arm tomorrow. It's a kind but has holes for a queen, and will replace the giant headboard in the spare room now and will blend better with that 60s bedroom suit that's in there. Not a perfect match but way better.

Good morning, Gris. Muggy here, stormed ALL night, kept me awake, if it wasn't for ADHD meds I'd be asleep under my desk. Finalizing bill for Busch today to get that sent in, putting the candy car in the print que, got a bazillion signage things for radio station in there too for upcoming Fourth Fest, not sure what else yet. Boxing tonight but might skip it as i've not slept. We'll see. Supposed to be mid 90s all weekend, wish I was rich, I'd find somewhere a tad cooler to be for a couple months. I like summer but these near 100 temps plus humidity I just can't do. Lots of businesses closed for the new federal holiday. Weird I'm working. Can I get a special holiday?

Wet here anyway, storms coming later, just rain at the moment, and 90 and muggy as heck. ick.
Have a car to finish up here, get in the print que, quote three vans and a truck, a storefront quote and other odd and end things. Ready for a nap. Boxing last night was at the new (old) place, local community center built in 30s I think, art deco stuff . Of course it's beyond hot in the room where ring is, we were outside which wasn't much better. I took extra hydration so did okay, really worn out tho.
Yall make it a great hump day!

good morning, I'd like to be home to snooze, perhaps followed by some booze
dreary here, rained last night and again this morning, was gonna drive the Vette but rather it stay clean and dry. Have a car to finish up at work and then try to pin owner down to get a bill together for Anheuser-Bush on those combine jobs, whatever else is on my desk I can see about.

Joint pain has bugged me too last couple days with storms rolling in and out. Not much sleep here either, mine is because sleeping with Arron is like sleeping with a toddler, he can't be still. By the time I take a Lunesta, and it starts working, is when he decides to get in bed then starts squirming. I fall asleep then get woke up about 5 times before he finally gets up and goes to the spare room. By then my anxiety is off the charts and I can't sleep if I wanted to.
Had house cleaning plans today since it was suppose to be cloudy but the sun is out so that means I might sit in the pool. If the sun is out I think I need to be outside too, can't stand being cooped up in the house. Work and boxing tomorrow so best rest all I can, right?

Happy Father's day yall! Sunny here today but supposed to rain. Might have last night, not sure but it was horribly stuffy and muggy out. We'd planned to sit out by the fire pit and it was just icky, so came in the house and watched tv. Bout to go sit in the pool a while since sun is out, he's still in bed. Said he had a 4 hour side job he was gonna get up and do, guess he put that on the back burner. He had set aside last weekend to do that job, then guy got wrong parts so ruined our weekend, we could've gone somewhere. Then guy brings right parts last night and wants to last minute him to hurry up. Nah bro, don't work like that.

Good morning, what's left of it. Overcast here, sun in and out - and hot and muggy. Was up way earlier that I wanted to be. Shared some images of my work at the Budweiser event, whoever of you are on my FB page, please click a like and/or comment. I'm gonna start trying to get my work out there a little bit, and looking for a site to use to host an online portfolio.
No plans today really, Arron asked what we were doing, said he had a wiring job and an engine job but he is still in bed. As much as he does work I would be too, but I'm hungry and I know just as soon as I heat up something just for me he will roll out. I'd liked us to have gone somewhere today but kind hard when he's still asleep and now the day is half over lol

Now that I'm allowed to let the images out, the Anheuser-Busch annual event here was today , their Discovery Farm Showcase, this is what I wrapped the combine, grain cart and cut vinyl on another unit for. Cold beer, great food and a good time was had by all.

Puts a tune in my head

https://youtu.be/MxGEVIvSFeY?si=izUZt5_OsABkhXJ2

Same happening here, so many mature trees and green space getting covered with solar panels and cookie cutter, quick-built cheap houses with prices 3x what they should be for greed. "housing shortage" my ass. Here in town, some folks have been rehabbing the old houses over on what I call hooker alley. I almost bought one years ago to flip and passed. Someone else did it and ended up starting a revolution in that area, half the homes are redone now. No housing shortage, just folks want brand new houses all crammed together, tiny and pricey to be bougie. I'd rather have an updated older house, built well and larger with more yard. Supposed to be able to visit the Anheuser Busch event today and see my work, but it's been raining, I sure don't want to be out in that mess but I'd still like to drop by. I might reach out to Bill and get the low down on best time to go. The owner and installer planned to go, they think I'm not good enough to go, but they fail to realize I'm the one dealing with all the corporate folks and they'd not have this if it wasn't for my abilities. Might just ask them if they're hiring while I'm at it. Reminds me, I need to get some cards made for myself for such an occasion.

Good morning Gris,
nice here this morning also, you usually get about the same as we get. Very pleasant out today, so drove the Vette. Not much going on at the office , but enough to keep me busy, hoping for a smooth rest of the day, maybe gym tonight. I usually don't go to boxing practice on Wednesday as I need a down day in between, but tonight they are going to be lifting and I need to get some of that in so brought my gear. Technique tomorrow night, then we will be moving to the community center across town. The coach over there at Jonesboro Amateur Boxing retired so our coach is taking that over and will be a community based thing to benefit more folks and will be city promoted. And, we'll have our own room, a ring and nobody to mess with our stuff.

Good morning, sunny here and will be hot today, so plants will need to be watered. I won't be home till 8 30 and not interested in getting skeeter ate while watering. Thinking I need to hire that done a day or two a week, surely there's some kid that needs some extra cash after school. Combines, grain cart and all that jazz are done, a new wrap started, will be totaling the invoice for those today and shift focus to other things. The even its Thursday so I do plan to run out there for a bit, walk around, thank Bill for working with me and get pics of my work. Boxing practice tonight if I can get motivated.

Good morning, overcast here, sun might come out later. I didn't sleep hardly at all so my plans for today are void. No energy to do what I'd planned. I believe if I had a cat jump out of my vehicle that I didn't know was there, I'd have to go right back in the house and change underwear.

I have rabbits and different sorts of birds, squirrels and I know I have an opossum here, I've fed him ham. I've also got some stray cats and those along with squirrels are about to start disappearing one by one if I can help it. Sick of having my birds ate and flowers dug up and ate. Rabbits live back here underneath my weeping mulberry tree under the hostas, some live in the hedge out front. They're all over out here. Used to be deer till all the "development" ruined it. The house across the street had a platform deer stand in between two trees and I recall seeing deer over here. Our circle of houses was all that was out here till the park got put in then you'd still see one here and there. Can't wait to move back out to the 'country' again and hope this time the farmers don't puss out and sell land to developers. I hate developers but without them we'd not have stuff. Lazy day planned here, pool sittin, that's bout it

Good afternoon, same here, rainy this morning, then sun came out and it's been beautiful ever since. I passed on the vette club picnic fearing rain, mugginess and such and wished I'd gone now. Oh well. Lazy day has been nice. Arron is struggling with a pickup, whoever "built" the motor ruined a ton of stuff and used plumbing loctite, took out the larger cam in favor of a smaller one that has the wrong lobe for fuel, bla bla bla more stuff over my head. He's pissed off and a 1500 job just turned into more money but a huge headache. If what he's about to try to get those cam bolts out dont work, he will recommend a new engine to the dude. In the mean time, there's a truck tore down in our shop, keeping us from using it for other things if needed, for who knows how long and no pay on it yet.
pool day tomorrow if weather holds out.

Deserving salutes to those who sacrificed.

What would provoke a buyer to sue the seller that couldn't be rectified in a simple meeting or phone call? That's nuts.
sunny here this afternoon so I ran errands earlier then just sat in pool till around 6ish. Made supper and here I sit, he's in shop tearing down someone's truck to do a lifter job or something. His boss man just left here, dropped him off a box of beer for no apparent reason. I think the truck he's working on might be a friend of his boss. He did mention boss quoted the work at the shop and it was gonna be over 5 grand, dude only paid 12 for the truck.
supposed to have rained today and didn't do what was projected so my plants are wilting. Alleged rain coming in at 4am, fingers crossed. If it rains tomorrow I plan to clean house since I'll be stuck in here, he will finish that truck maybe and get paid.

Good morning,
been busy already. Owner's daughter has been all over teh shop cleaning out her dad's years of hoarding lol. He'll get stuff in for displays or whatever and just find places to pile things, she's filled up an entire dumpster so far and I'm all kinds of proud of her for that. She'll ask me, "does he need to keep so-and-so?" and I'm like - NO toss it! So far , one whole room cleared that was a pass through from my side to theirs, 6 tall cabinets, my old office he managed to pile up in no time, plus some other areas.
allergy testing appt for me later they said would take 3 hours. I'd not planned to be out of the office that long but I'm ready to be out. All the combine stuff is done, the toys were sent out yesterday, the big one is done, the red one is done and the grain cart is in progress. Equipment due on the yard by the 10th, event is the 12th. Cutting it close.

Tommy I try but my ADHD brain just looks right over that till it's too late lol. Needs to have some sort of chime warning right before 1/4 tank. I've had to replace a fuel pump twice in the 96 for that very issue. Hubby at the time replaced it the first time, told me next time I'd be doing the labor plus buying the part, not long after, I ended up doing just that. I came to work with just under 1/4 tank, soon as I got out of work I put gas in it. Arron put some in the Rover for me yesterday I guess as a payback for buying his truck battery. We don't swap cards and flowers, we seem to swap car parts .

mid week already - where is everybody? I"m hardly ever the first one up in here.
Already been pretty busy this morning, sun is trying to be out, minus the Canadian smoke, the overcast makes it a tad cooler than otherwise. Hoping for a slow day today, am wore out from gym last night, got overheated so was still up around 3am, drank more hydrate/electrolyte mix and finally went to sleep. Make it a good day yall

Good afternoon, sunny here and hot. The guys got the red combine cut graphics knocked out in 3.5 hours yesterday, that has to be some sort of record. Toy ones are getting wrapped now, grain cart is printing. It will be a a giant glass of beer when done. Watching it print kinda makes you want one lol. I have quotes out on two other jobs, one will bring deposit later today he said, another lady I still need to quote, waiting on owner to get with me on those numbers. Drove the Vette today, it's in dire need of cleaning and gas. But it had more gas than the Rover had so choices were made as I was running late to start with.

Good afternoon - I slept past 10 today since it's my day off and I was worn out from yesterday. We took the bike about 3 hours north and visited some springs and the river, scoped out a few nearby places we want to go back to for a long weekend, hikes and such. Did a small easy loop yesterday, then ride home, got in around 9. It's getting too hot now for me to want to do that so the other spots will wait till fall when it's cooler. Spring and fall are hiking weather, I can't do 80+ anymore and this spring it rained nearly every day so that ruined a ton of it. Made for nice waterfalls though when it calmed down.
I was sitting out back with coffee and breakfast trying to get woke up and work called - I'd proofed that grain cart with a requested change Thursday then got busy helping weed the stuff for the red combine since I had time to help, never heard back on my proof. I could've went up there Friday but was told to cut out Fridays for a while till they're caught up. I knew I could have reached out to Bill and gotten it in the print cue but when you're told not to work over, then heck I'm out, now he wishes he'd listened. Wanted me to come up there today to put it in there. Fine, but it's my ONE day that's off limits so it's gonna cost him. Since he interrupted my day right in the middle of it, to me, my day is now shot. Imma sit in the pool and eat cake today and that's all I'm gonna do. The laundry and crap can wait one more day.

Good morning, what's left of it. Was up way earlier than I meant to be, but back porch coffee time was peaceful and quiet. Will fetch a new battery for Arron's truck today, seems when birthdays or holidays roll around, something around here tears up and costs us money. Otherwise, might get the bike out, not sure. Pool is only 77 due to all the rains and overcast weather last couple weeks so I'd prefer to find a nice hike and a swimming hole somewhere. He's still in the bed so we'll see what plays out later

Good morning - thank you all for the bday wishes.
The sun is out, I'm off today and slept til 10am so guess that makes it a good day right outa the gate. I'm 39 with 18 years experience. Have an appt with a personal trainer at 1 and need to pick up a few things from the store, figure I'll find myself a piece of cake someplace lol
Yeah, being a kid in the 70s was the best time ever. Parents weren't worried about you, they even had a tv commercial to remind them to check on you - "It's 10pm do you know where your kids are". Marx big wheel, cool looking bicycles, jumping sketchy ramps on the other side of town till the street lights came on, drinking from the hose because we weren't allowed in the house. Good times

lots of good memories there Tee, that's cool.
Speaking of cool, it's mid 70s here, overcast and sun is trying to poke out finally. Pool water has dropped 10 degrees. My grain buggy has finally been approved, show is the 12th I think so guys are spazzing. My issue now is that I wasn't covering the very low part of the grain cart and now I am so I will need more measurements and it's in the next town over. trying to reach the guys to see if tha'ts where they're doing the combine install and if so, can he take a break and get me what I need. I sure ain't in the mood to drive a half our over there to it and back.
Owner came up here Sunday to try and run the white cut vinyl for the other combine and his storage drive was toast (he said). Called me yesterday freaking out. I took a look, turns out he has it plugged into a power strip under the desk, along with his tower sitting under there, well he kicked the strip I guess and shoved it under the tower, flipping the on/off switch to the drive. Simple fix but now he's even farther behind. Had he not been spazzing and just looked at the "simple stuff first" he'd have seen that and went about his day. He better not ask me to work Friday either. He told me to work all of them I wanted for extra since we were busy then said not to , and I'm hiding out this coming Friday I have plans - it's my birfday so I want to spend it my way.

rainy here this morning, gave way to overcast but dryer. Sick to death of the rain. Boxing tonight but I don't think I ever fell asleep last night so we will see . Might go and just duck out early. Combine wrap projects still wonky, we're way overloaded but doing our best. Rather be busy and behind than sitting around doing nothing. Hoping I'm close to grain cart approval then that will be one more thing off my desk anyway.
