Yes, bourbon indeed. this may require a special trip to the store. And I need one of those rollaway cots in a far away place on an island to soothe myself.
The realtor is actually a friend of mine, she's not my worry. She's doing all she can. She even agreed to take the listing and set a flat rate since it's a cheap property. I just don't understand nosy neighbors and then the gall of the buyer to create such a wacky story and put someone else up to doing her dirty work instead of just not being honest. And, not signing the termination so it can be relisted.
Day here almost over, can't happen soon enough. I need to go home and scrub car seats

Good afternoon - got a few things going on here, ambulance proofed, not heard back, smart car proofed, lady's driving me batty and a semi driver wants me to drive all the way across town to measure his door for a $65 decal. Nope. I'm here by myself and it aint happening. he can bring it by here.
Oneta's house sale fell through and I got that word last night, just 24 hours after being told it was a done deal, half deposit on the way. Im crushed. that was gonna be a 12 year burden lifted off me. Was told Monday it was done and I slept nice. Last night, the buyer's 'friend' sent a sketchy text about a sinkhole and a yard 'infestation' to my realtor. There's no sinkhole and there's no kind of infestation in the yard or else all the rest of us would have been having swelled up legs. I figure the lady is diabetic and drove all day and then changed her mind. Why? firs of all closing was supposed to be 30th and the title company ruined that by not doing the paperwork. Then monday night, some weird lady that lives near there walked over and got the realtor and buyer really angry telling them all kinds of stuff like it was her moms' house and all the stuff in it was her moms' how it didn't have available water ever and creating a scene. Said no water was why oneta had to move and that oneta was renting it from them. WTF. I'm not sure if I can have her arrested or just go find her and handle it myself which Im tempted to do. the house had water, I've used the commode before she moved out. And she moved because she was getting where she couldn't use her legs and wanted a small place she could manage. I hate people. I've cried and cried. I have a trip planned in a week was suposed to be my first 'carefree' getaway in years without having to worry about a call for something to do with all this. Prayres please for this issue if yall don't mind.
Tommy - Im very sorry all the kittens died

good morning Gris - beautiful day here also, supposed to be like this for another week or two. Still no rain here, burn bans have been put in place statewide now. Of course that don't apply to farmers. It's illegal for you to burn your leaves in a contained barrel but it's quite allright for that farmer to set fire to 200 acres at once which could easily spread to trees and other people's property.
Have another ambulance to wrap, and supposed to have a smart car and a small bus brought in, kinda hoping the latter two come tomorrow as I have enough for today with the ambulance. I can reuse the cab and front upper from the last one but the rest of the box is completely different so new templates for those then proof.
Yall have a good day.

I looked this up "over there" and found a couple of threads. Some say use non acetone nail polish remover and it will take the rubbery stuff right off. It leaves a slick surface so you can low pressure soda blast this to achieve a matte look. If you don't like that you can opt top paint body color or another dude used an airbrush gun with #4 tip with plastikote thinned and was happy. However that will result in same wear problems. Paint will scratch also, but I've had a painted one and didn't have any issues. I do think one of our suppliers offers clearbra pattern for console so that will likely be my next option.

Good afternoon, beautiful day here again. Got out earlier and wiped the car down and out on a light wax. Might drive it tomorrow not sure yet. I have to Thursday it gets tint.
Got all my housecleaning done yesterday so resting today. I’m sore all over. I also cut up and bacon wrapped three whole beef filets. These are “economy” ones from the store by the office. I trim and slice myself. They were on sale fir $5.99/lb normally $11/lb. I went to get one o advice from a friend they were out. Butcher comes back with these three (one was trimmed) and then marks them to $3.50/pound. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I now have 27 bacon wrapped filets in the freezer plus one bag of trimmings I’ll use for stew meat.

Good evening, beautiful day here. We planned to work on the car and I was slap out of decent supplies so off we went. Picked up 4 products, and forgot one. Grabbed some bbq and stopped by the 'antique motorcycle show' at the Harley shop and saw some really nice bikes. This green Sailor Jerry style one was my fave and he won.
We got home, jerked the seats out of the car, got carpets cleaned, inside cleaned, black plastic refresh done on the outside, didn't get that completed the other day but it's finished now and gave the car a light wipe down outside. Started taking wheels off and painting calipers and on the first one it was some sort of orange and absolutely not red as indicated on the cap . Put it all back together and will swap out paint next time and then do the calipers and wheels. It gets new window tint Thursday, still needs a wax and then I should be done. Then it's time to start on redoing the garage so it has a nice place to live. It's not pristine, new or perfect but it's a complete 180 from where it started. We're wore slap out.Tomorrow is Arrons birthday so we plan to just sit around.

Nice photos! I want to start getting out and going more places when things wind down.
Pretty here again today, but cold this morning, wore a jacket into the office, still wearing it.
have a few things to do on my list today, not much, just as soon it stay that way. Need to hit the grocery store on the way home so I don't have to get out Friday and go. I hate shopping.
Yall have a good day

good morning, beautiful day here, glad to hear you're all doing good there, Tommy. I'm glad you know how to get prepared for it, but hate that you have to. I do have a cousin near Orlando, some friends in other areas of the path I worry for them. Saw where some are evacuated already and Biden has already declared it a disaster area.
Gris, the car has been driveable for a while, I just haven't. I wanted to get all my bs done to it, cause if I didn't I'd never get it done. I know me lol. I still need me a DD and I found one then it sold before Arron got of his hind end to get it. I've found a couple more, one being in Tampa of all places. I'll drive it up here next Thursday for tint, and probably will go ahead and drive it to the club meeting the Tuesday prior. I plan to get the interior cleaned up this weekend if the sky don't fall. I need to get my yard straightened up too, depends on how I feel .

Good afternoon - another beautiful day here, I love this weather, except it makes the pool too cool to get into. I posted Sunday but can't find where I left off. Seems when I do that from my phone it's missing usually. Hope everybody had a good weekend and Tommy keep safe in your area. I have a couple Tampa area friends that are pretty worried. Made some more progress on the car, got stripes on, halo decals on, paint protection film on headlights and foglights, and got the black plastic trim all refreshed except for the wiper cowl area. This weekend I'll try to get the inside cleaned up some, I have an appointment for new tint next Thursday. Might take it to the Corvette meeting next Tuesday if weather holds out. Still need to get calipers cleaned and relettered and get wheels off and clean those and maybe paint the inside of the rim. I'd like to have new wheels, for the cost of any cosmetic repair on these I can get another set used, but that's another day.

lmao, no I figure skin oils and heat from the sun through the glass probably is the culprit.
Getting new tint Thursday, going with Llumar ceramic 15 on sides and rear and 50 on windshield. That should knock the heat down a ton and help save the interior.
I was just told there was a pint of my paint left so planning to just use that for the console.

I can wrap it but getting vinyl to stay put would be awful. I didn’t know if that coating could be replicated. Why did GM do that crap anyway

That rubbery crap - I’m not buying a new console so is there anyway to fix this or just peel it all off and paint body color?
Suggestions? (Besides clean it haha I’m getting to it eventually )

Tommy if you have stuff left from teenage years or anything from the 50s - 70s you can make a ton of cash. I'm in some groups for those things and theres "stuff" I collect and like to have as well. I see me a good Pearsall piece and I'll drive a purty fur piece to haul it home. Got me a Kent Coffey Perspecta china cabinet not long ago for $100. Folks had no clue what they had. The bottom alone sells for $2500. I have way more swung glass and Pyrex than one human woman needs.
Ive not been much motivated this weekend and I think I figured it out. Doc has me on Topiramate for my tremors and that crap makes me sleepy. I skipped it today and I feel better. Went out to do my stripes on the car and I have no alcohol to clean with so here I am all ready to go and can't. And I"m not taking it out to go do stuff till I get all this crap on it done.
Speaking of which, I have a couple questions I will go post in the C6 help section here in a bit.
Tee that's a beautiful cabinet. I wish you were close to here I'd get you busy in my kitchen and laundry room.

Good morning Gris, beautiful day here, perfect hammock day. I have a lot to do but probably won’t. Dude supposed to come out my windshield in today but no time was given , so I’m stuck here alllllll day to just wait. Kinda crappy. If the sun comes out good I’ll bag off the old tint and I need to start deep cleaning in the house. I didn’t sleep good enough to be motivated for that crap. Arron will be in Little Rock tomorrow working on his step mothers car so I’ll be stuck here I figure I’ll try to get my stripes and emblems on mine at least. Theresa a bbq fest and a bike fest I’d like to be at instead or Panama City beach

I wanna be in that picture more than I can express in words.
And I need it.
it's been perfect pool days here and now it's about to rain. By the time I'm able to get in it this weekend it'll be too cold again. On the other hand I have just had a pool heater given to me, has a freon leak and so does our hvac unit at the shop so will get both taken care of in one shot and see about getting it hooked up. with what our utility bills run I doubt I'll ever use it though.

good morning, slow day here yesterday. No complains, not much sleep so didn't feel too hot. Better today, have ambulance and utility truck across street installs started, I'm all caught up. Summer is still here, frost due in a month. My banana tree just bloomed was hoping to see what it would end up as but reckon that won't happen now. Looks pretty cool tho.
Arron will be in Little Rock working on his step moms car this weekend some so I hope I feel good and can get some stuff done to my car. My vinyl came in but owner here has been so buried with other stuff I have had him scheduled with he's not had time to cut my stripes. Maybe tomorrow. I'd like to get them on this weekend, emblems on and interior cleaned at least. I'd like to find something to put on glass for rock chip protection. I also need to get old tint removed and get on schedule here for new tint to be applied that has better clarity. what is on there now is junk film that someone else installed. I will be getting the windshield done also. the back glass I'll have to bag-off so that'll take a bit, the sides I can scrape. I did get ARrons windshield done up here lsat week, we used CLR80 for heat rejection. It's clear , no tint. I love that stuff. It don't fry me when I get in the truck now.
Found out over the weekend an old friend that hung out at the body shop with us passed away, heart issues. He had texted another friend and had called 911 even. He was rumored to have mentioned suicide a few times. I'd not seen him much since shop shut down when Don retired and moved but saw him up in town recently. Seemed to be cleaned up and doing good. Turns out he was friends with some others I knew and I didn't know it. Small world. Don had just talked to him on the phone. Sad to hear it. His mom lost her husband not too long ago and now has lost her son. his sister found him, he was blue. Said he was an organ donor and body will be released I guess once that is done which tells me they found him when organs can be harvested but not in time to save his life. He knew he was dying. Hurts my heart. Wished I'd kept in touch more. I'm the worst at that.
Keep the shiny side up yall an make it a great day

Good morning,
quite the lizard collection there Tommy. I enjoy the yard here too, lots of different birds around, this time of year the humming birds have taken over. Summer is back for a couple days, we're in the "fake summer" part of the year, false fall was a couple weeks ago, real fall is next, fake winter will be in a month then real winter will start. We have about 47 seasons here. Nothing much going on here, I've not touched the car, the house, the yard, nothing. Just not had energy for crap lately. Not sleeping right. Happy anniversary Matt!

good morning Gris, everyone.
Beautiful day here, will be for several days. No rain in sight so the water hose comes back out for the plants. Temps creeping back up into the 90s and 100s in a few. We are in the "false fall" state of Arkansas weather. Next is the rest of summer, followed by the real fall. Slow day at work, I got caught up yesterday, ambulance is ready to print. I can't wait to see that thing at night in the light. They opted to do not just regular reflective decals like all other normal ones are, but TOTAL coverage in reflective. That sucker is gonna put somebody's eyes out. And, it's not cheap. The reflective vinyl is skinnier rolls for one and it's $3000 a roll which is 3x normal vinyl wrap cost. No wonder those ambulance rides cost so much.
Still trying to find a DD and the one I picked out is gone. Arron keeps scheduling side jobs over weekends instead of us going to get me a vehicle. He's buying it so HE has to be the one to get up off his ass, call about it, and such and make arrangements. He gave me a budget. I'm sick of finding things then he sits on his rear end and then it's gone. I guess this goes back to Tommy's "do it yourself if you want it done" ideal. Soooo with that being said, this weekend's trip to Shreveport is off.

In other Arkansas news, y'all come on over, we're having a party

good morning - beautiful day again here today, wish I was home to enjoy it. will be nice here all week they say. Ambulance folks approved their design so I'll be getting that ready for print, had a lady waiting on me soon as I got here this morning. I at least like to get in here and get my poop in a group before I encounter people. Owner and a new kid is in the back working on a ton of yard signs that were ordered, asked me to help but preferred I get the ambulance ready. Ok by me, I HATE messing with those prints and junk. have some banners to do later also when all that in there clears out with the signs. Gym night tonight if I feel like it, at least go walk somewhere, then at somepoint I need to pull weeds in all the flowerbed at home, trim hedges and do my fall yard work. Probably ought to restock my allergy meds first.

Do it yourself if you want it done right is a very true statement. Not much happening around here, mediocre day at work, folks not in any hurry to look at proofs or answer emails and playing phone tag with ambulance dood. Had an appt set up with Safelite to do my windshield and they called for my VIN. I tried to call back and it's worse than trying to get through to Allstate. I got frustrated and cancelled the crap. Eff that. I called the other place here who had a similar quote and he will come to my house and do this show Monday afternoon for about the same that Safelite was gonna charge. When I asked about OEM winshield, says he really can't say there due to the age of the car but given the price I'm guessing it should be fine (hopes). $925 in and out the door. He did ask me to remove A pillar trims as he's afraid he'll break them. Hell I am too but better me than him I suppose? I've not touched it either, the cobwebs are holding it down securely to the garage floor. How does that much crap get in a closed garage?? Dang. didn't feel good all weekend, it was quiet and calm in the neighborhood and overcast. I just sat in my chair and stared out the window for 2 days straight. Don't have Covid, did 3 test that were all negative, but did have light fever off and on, plus some mild sinus drainage and slight headache. Sounded like covid. Doc said sounded like heavy allergies to him.

Good evening, non eventful day here. Slept in till 10. Can’t remember last time I did that. Got up, had coffee, made arron lunch sat in pool then we t to town to gym then get groceries and come home. That’s been it. Feel like I’m coming down with something. Just gonna sit here

RIP Queen Elizabeth, end of an era

Good morning, what's left of it. Slower day here, have an ambulance to proof and sent a couple of small jobs through and that's about it. One estimate for a lady that has been bugging me for 2 years then always ends up somewhere else. I need a nice way to tell her GTFO with that mess. Went to gym after work yesterday then was stuck, truck wouldn't start. dead battery. It was wonk when I left for work, then headed to gym but just thought it was me. Jumped with battery pack then headed home, new battery procured today. Then on way home last night, by the truck stop, they NEVER stop hardly. They either blow right through or stop then wait till youre on them then pull out. The latter happened and I had nowhere to go and did get stopped but was shaking an hour still after I did get home. That's why I hate truckers. They're almost all like that. Half of me hopes one day someone gets killed there and the trucker gets the hell sued out of him and they all go bankrupt down 4 generations then the other half of me don't actually want anyone hurt but somehow needs to be an example made out of someone. And, then there's the Memphis rampage shooter who was lifestreaming on facebook and headed into West Memphis and we all thought he was headed to Jones-burr (jonesboro where Im at) but he was caught. 4 dead others injured. And, another shooter at the local college campus area not farm from the gym I was at and on my way home. Jeeez what is the world coming to?? And, the internet is blowing up about "victim blaming" with the other poor lady. Since when is telling folks to be sensible victim blaming? Sick of it. I guess telling people to look both ways before crossing the street is victim blaming too?
Somebody brighten my day

Gris, since you mentioned the Vietnam war, if you have some downtime, I'd suggest watching "Tricky Dick and the Man in Black". It's on Netflix and about Johnny Cash, his history and his visit to the whitehouse . He figured out he was being used by Nixon for an agenda and sang a song "What is Truth"Every bit of the documentary reminds me of today.

good morning, lots to do this morning - finish getting the Kenworth box truck in the print que, put a van in there for another customer then get a quote for a concession trailer, menus for the coffee store next door he's opening another new location, he's franchising now and moved into another state even with new stores. I remember when he first started over here next door.
Tommy I bet that was one huge pool/hot tub gathering! I didn't get to get in ours a lot this year, it was too hot outside and the pool temp was 95 it was miserable. Now, it's borderline too cold. I feel like I missed a whole summer. This pool heater will run on 220 so not sure I want it and it's huge.
Marcus, a lot of people are up in arms about the jogger from Memphis. that's 45 minutes from me, and just a year or so ago we had a local nurse that the same thing happened to that was from here, or nearby. The pudge that took her ran her over, killed her, then raped her, then buried her then dug her up raped her again then reburied her and even joined the search party.
Does she have a right to be out at 430? Absolutely. Saw one comment on a local news post where a dood said something like "why she out in the dark in booty shorts and a bra?". I'm not victim blaming AT ALL, but there is a ton of evil in this world and no matter what hood you are in Memphis or elsewhere, they're all bad if you ask me. Women should be able to be out running if they want, wearing what they want, however the world is full of evil and you simply must protect yourself and use common sense caution. If I wanted to be out late at night or whatever I should be able to and not worry but that simply isn't how the world is. I would either not go alone, or I'd take a gun or taser or something. Would it still happen? Possibly. Now, on the other hand, I blame not only the POS that killed her but the judge/justice system that let the POS out in the first place. He had a record since he was 12 for violent assaults and rape and had just got out from 20+ years for this same thing. Live by the sword and die by the sword and he'd not have been out to do it again and she would still be here. Stiffer penalties for crimes against women would help a lot. What else amazed me was some of his friends and family on the news posts defending him and "refused to snitch". Sadly that's the black culture we have, they refuse to "snitch" knowing one killed another. Pisses me off. I'd love to see it prosecuted as a hate crime.

good afternoon,
Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend ,sounds like everybody stayed busy.
Had two up here with Covid, not sure if I had it or not. I recall a barely there headache, I'm always sneezing, left side of nose runs since nose surgery so not sure if I have allergies or Covid. I had no fever or body aches, etc. Just felt like bla the last few days but then again, not sleeping well either - 50/50 shot I reckon.
We kept to ourselves all weekend, it was gloomy here Saturday, yesterday the sun was out so we got in the pool a bit, and he worked on the local flower shop's van. The employees ran it under a trestle into about 3' of water, said motor locked up, so shop delivered a van and the motor. He took off intake, drained everything, not locked up and runs so he'll change some stuff and give it back to them for a couple days and we'll see what happens. Owner up here is trying to give me a pool heater, huge thing, I don't think I have anywhere to put it, will investigate further once home.
Back to my box truck, proofed it, then it was approved all within a hour so I'll start getting that ready for boss to print.

good morning,
dreary looking this morning but saw some sun peeking out. Got home arouund 9 last night from the meeting, big plans they have for the Eureka Springs Corvette Weekend. I really need to go, haven't been to that one in years. But, they all leave on a thursday and come back on Sunday and it's hard for Arron go get out the last couple days of the week sometimes and seems everyone else up there has already schedled vaca to the point that a needed class he planned to go to he can't go. Have the Kubota people ready to print, and now the SG360 vans I'm making changes on when I thought they'd approve. And the "new" dude I'm working with, today is his last day and I have some lady to deal with. They were given a discount assuming it would be same artwork fitted to new van and less design time. Now I'm redoing it. Figures.
Y'all make it a great day the weekend is upon us

Good afternoon - not much happening at work today, it's hot out, looking forward to more days off this weekend. Have a bite on Oneta's house but not holding out hope. Sounds more like a scam. Lady is from Nashville, bout 5 hours from here. Wants to remodel it and put her kids in it and use end bungalow for storage. Wants to meet us at 11 Sunday. First, it's a holiday, nobody is around, second, driving 5 hours for a sh*tbox house? And my real estate lady said her phone number came up as a scam listing so she didn't answer it. The lady asked if the lot next to it goes also, so she is either familiar with it or she google earthed it. Feels sketch. We'll see.
Was informed earlier that the vette club is meeting tonight. We meet the first Thursday of each month but given it was the 1st I just figured it would be next Thursday. so much for what plans I had after work, but that's allright. If it wasn't for the member that texted me I'd never make a meeting haha.

good afternoon - nice day out here, still a bit humid though. Busy at work, the Kubota people have approved their test print so we're good to go and the ambulance people have sent me their artwork. I have that ready to proof but will hold off a day or two. Material won't be here for at least a week still. Whole thing being done in reflective. that will be seen from the moon when headlights hit it.
Hoping to get some stuff done on the car this weekend, didn't touch anything last weekend I just rested. Fired the temp installer help today, he's messed up more than he's helped, plus broke 2 ladders and one is missing, did a residential tint and left chewed up sunflower seeds all over the house so that was a reputation recovery process. Owner sent him packing today so now back to being even more shorthanded than we were and if all goes well with the ambulance I'll have 89 more of them to do. Plus the Kubota fleet, not sure how many of those there are.

I can't stand repair people that can't give a more specific time. I don't have a half a day to take off work and miss money from 12-5 for them to show up at 445. Pisses me off. Sun is out, hot as fire here, says 78 but feels like 198. rained last night, plants are grateful. My first day back at the office and of course, it's nuts. Have a fleet started for Kubota here and a trailer due in, another fleet van dropped off for the SG360 bunch too. Keepin it rollin...

Good evening- nothing happening here , my last day of staycay so cleaned kitchen did laundry and rested. Watered plants earlier and that’s been it for me.

Good morning, I see everybody has stayed busy. Y'all have so much to do sometimes it makes my head spin.
Calm here, we're resting today, he got his school over with and I relaxed then drove home and with the stops it took us forever it seemed like. Age is creeping up on me as when I have to ride a long time like that seems it takes me a whole day to recover. We hung out here at the pool yesterday then were invited to his aunt's for supper and got home rather late. I'm up with the dog and Arron is still in bed. Hell crawl out eventually. I wish I could sleep like that.
Gris, thanks for the info on that Dallas lake. Seemed I'd just read somewhere it was formed by the building and such. Glad to see the history. I did enjoy the area and we stay there whenever he has school there. It's not the beach but it's a nice quick getaway on the dealership's dime.

Good morning- overcast here in Garland but nice out. I brought my coffee to the pool area, got it to myself. Yes Gris Rockwell right near here. I think this lake was formed from a result of building stuff in the area.
Nothing on my to do list today but sit here and listen to the birds chirp and cats go by. There’s a Mediterranean restaurant across the street I might walk to and that’s about it.

Good shot Gris! UMan that trip sounds awesome, I e not camped in couple years, ready to start doing things again. Tommy glad you got a pretty good report. We made it to the hotel about an hour 1/2 late yesterday, he forgot his papers so we had to turn around about 30 mins in, then ran into a detour that was backed up. Rained most of the way here. Dallas had had floods and it’s been bad but I’m in Garland just east outside Dallas so good here. We hit a brew joint last night for good food and some craft beers . Today I slept in and got a 2-hour workout in and now out by the pool with a cold adult beverage. Not sure what’s up later he’ll be here around 330.
Y’all have a good one

Good afternoon- I don’t know where the last few days went. I worked Friday on my off day and ran my hind end off. Don’t remember what we did after but Saturday we went to get my car. I found myself behind everything a new paint job don’t need to be around. Seat sucked up the whole way home but it’s there where I can do a long list of other stuff I need to do. Yesterday I cleaned and didn’t set down till around 9. We left at 8 this morning headed to Garland TX till Thursday. He has GM hands-on training and I wanted out of the house.
I too need to purge, we’ll probably never afford to retire but I got too much chit

Now I want apple pie with cinnamon ice cream

Tommy I swear I'd have to do gold! What an opportunity

Stuff has slowed here, waiting on ambulance art, my templates are made, one more work day then clean house and leave for Dallas Monday morning

good morning Gris
beautiful day here today but already feels hot and like it might gonna be muggy. I've mismeasured my ambulance so need to redo some measurements and it's in the shop across the street where I can't get to it. I'll work on the rest of it till installer gets in over there. Hoping that's all I have to mess with today, y'all make it a good one

good morning - raining here this morning, I think I drove to work still asleep , I felt like I died last night when my head hit the pillow. Would've loved to stayed home and taken advantage of a perfect nap day. Nothing happening here, supposed to have an ambulance dropped off. We quoted a local company for reworks of their fleet, dude is strange, but he brought a deposit check of ten grand yesterday and so it begins. We're starting with three and hope he's happy and we get the other 87. MRI scheduled in about an hour for my hip, been having trouble for last 3-5years since my surgery, all docs think I'm nuts. No - I hurt and something is wrong. fingers crossed someone finally sees it and prayers that it isn't something that requires a replacement, only a fix.

Good afternoon - not sure where the morning went but it's been a day already. Not slept, allgergies getting to me and I was so sleepy when I left today that I left my lunch bag sitting out on the counter. got here, no TP so was headed to the store and sent for paper towels too, the tint guys ran out. While I was there I picked me up some fruit and a tv dinner for today, had trouble paying. Turns out I was using cash at a card-only machine. got that cancelled out moved to another machine. same issue. Finally got paid and out, then got in the wrong lane to come back to work and had to go around the long way, then while I was gone some people came to see me for graphics. then owner got on the phoen with me for half a dadgum hour and I'm still right where I was at 9am on this van I was trying to start. I bout give up for today. I'm having a whiskey when I get home. Hope y'all have a good day, Uman hope you feel better soon and prayers for the GGD Tee.

Good morning, hope everybody had a good weekend, looked like yall all stayed occupied. Hope ya'll feel better soon Marcus, they say my area is still a national hotspot. So far it's missed us, fingers crossed. We got up and hit two car shows saturday, hung out with our vette club crew, went out to eat, then to a nearby lake to picnic with prepurchased bbq sandwiches and watch the sunset and got home around nine. Was a beautiful day out. Yesterday we just kept to ourselves and stayed out in the pool. I'm home today and getting caught up on laundry, dishes and the domesticated sort of stuff. Today is gym/grocery store day but so far I've not left the house and likely not to. Y'all have a good Monday

good afternoon - sorry to hear about your church friend Tee, that cabinet sure looks snazzy tho. Weather has been great today, I've been at work today since I'll be gone to dallas for a week the 22nd. Good thing I was here I guess, been busier than I don't know what. Plus playing go-between with the owner and his new installer. Some issues happened, some tint had to be redone, owner is mad af, installer called me nearly in tears, dudes, ya'll are grown, talk yourselves I got chit ta do.
Ready to get home and enjoy some outside for a bit. Might go do some work on the car this weekend, stripes should be here tuesday, I have paint protection film for headlights and fog lights and emblems to install plus it needs a cleaning. I've not felt great but it's gotta get done sometime.

Good morning, Gris. I came in here cause I saw "11th", then I saw Wednesday and thought , oh no it's only Wednesday, I thought that was yesterday so I had to check the calendar. I'm not awake yet.
All rain chances are gone, sun now for the next several days. We go from dought to monsoon and back here. Can't seem to catch a happy middle. Nothing on the agenda today at work except one truck from the Kubota people, hoping it turns into a fleet. They're unhappy with where ever else they've been going so he's come to me. I want to make him happy so I get more trucks. Job security.
Our security cameras have taken a dump along with their hard drive so we're shopping for a new set up. In the mean time, I ordered a couple of those "blink" cameras from Amazon. So far allright but one done spooked me. It is mounted temporarily till my other brackets come in so it jiggled. We kinda taped it to keep it there and it apparently fell during the night. Or was knocked off. One vid clip shows what looks like a rat tail. EEWW! And, in the preceeding clip I hear at the end what sounds like a female voice saying "sticky stuff". Freaked me right the heck out.
Anyway, I'm looking at the Cove system with keypad, disarm/arm keyfobs, door and window sensors, cameras etc and it will call the cops for you too.

good afternoon - due to have "torrential downpours" here off and on all day, looked black as all get out for a while and then the sun has been out. I rode with Arron today so he'd have a truck instead of being out on the bike and all for naught I suppose. At least he's had air in it. He has a side job tonight so I'm stuck for a bit. I can have him drop me at the gym then get me on the way home I reckon. Not much happening here today, small jobs this week off and on. It's either feast or famine.

Happy anniversary Tee!
Marcus, thanks for the fists of fury offer, hope I don't need it. I hate people like these folks, always thought they were the sh*t. no manners, and teaching their kids/grands the same disrespect. Talked to the police captain yesterday, not much I can do about it, we all agree it's kinda funny in a way and a good one, but in this day and time , it's really not. It compromises people's property and safety the way things are nowadays. used to it would've been a good prank, but not now. He put in for extra patrol. I do have cameras but they're horrible and the batteries die quickly, it's janky and we have planned for an update anyway. I ordered two cameras over the weekend should be here tomorrow plus will be ordering a different sort of system with door and window sensors, keypad and such that will call the law for you if it's triggered.
All we want is to live in harmony with others and have peace, shouldn't be too much to ask. But if me calling the cops 3 weeks ago for people that were breaking the law and such causes them to allow me to take up rent in their mind that long to get back at me, am I not winning at that point? Arron says he's gonna buy a paintball gun and hit em when they come by lol.
The rain we were supposed to get today came yesterday - twice. two huuuuuge downpours, after I already watered probably more than I should have. Wasn't expecting rain for a couple days so I soaked stuff good. now it's really soaked but the yard is green again.

It's already hot here and muggy. Yesterday was bad too.
Gris yes I have trash for neighbors and unfotunately a cop or two is their friend. They happen to be better off financially and can afford things and are also loud, obnoxious rednecks that have no respect for others. I'd have give anything had we not moved here and we aren't in a position to move now. I really wish they would but they've been here since the neighborhood was created so they won't be going anywhere. I'd like to find a way to cause them all to lose their jobs houses, toys and suffer horribly but that's not how God wants me to be. I'm not sure what to do at this point. After that stunt this weekend I worry for my safety and for our property especially with a trip coming up that will put us gone for nearly a week. I hate vile people.
Done got up and got plants watered, we are due rain tomorrow but only a slight chance but Wednesday it should rain. I have my three big rain buckets emptied I just need to hose them out and get them ready to set out again just in case. Plants here do not like city water.

Good evening - happy anniversary Tommy and glad to hear you stayed up at the casino. Had a lot to do Friday don’t know where the day went. Yesterday I’d planned to stay here but two old ladies showed up and next thing I was at the police station. We’re being harassed by the folks down the street and their buddies. Can’t prove it tho. They got way out of hand with side by sides and loud ass atvs a couple weeks back. Arron has been working 7 day weeks and had enough so we called police around 9pm . Never thought anything rude of it but noticed it slacked off he even thought they’d all left on vaca . Well now someone has complained about onetas house and this weekend one of them put a paper up that we were having an estate sale knock loud etc. nobody came but the point is it’s a line crossed and could’ve compromised our property or gotten someone hurt . And apparent the cop made contact with the riders and told them it was our house calling it in. I’m at least gonna have a talk with the mayor.
Spent today at the gym, in the pool and that’s been bout it

good morning,
Raining cats and dogs here, all I asked for was a sprinkle not a downpour for 2 days. Better than the alternative so we'll take it. Good day to stay home and nap. Hoping for a quiet day at the office, rode in with Arron today since he didn't want to be out on the Harley in this mess, Vette club meeting tonight. I'll drop him off or a side job then drive the truck to the restaurant.
got home yesterday to a letter from the city PD threatening me over tall grass and trash at Oneta's house. I pay someone to mow the yard and keep eye on things, I drove over and yard is mowed and there's no trash. I guess since I'm not on the mayor's side of politics she's gonna send her cronies to pick on me. Funny they wait til 3 weeks after it gets deeded to me instead of the last 12 years. Waiting on a phone call to handle that. I'd go there if I was off today, might tomorrow anyway.

I''d give anything for the ability to quit, pull the plug and move to the water's edge. Arron wants to jerk up the stakes and move to Mexico. We don't really have family to speak of here, neither of us has parents or kids and what other family we do have only calls when they want something fixed, no no real attachment. And, thanks to the county, our house according to them is worth an extra $50k. BS. Just their way of wanting more $$ every year in taxes. What I'd give if I had my nanny's house in Cali right about now, I could sell that and disappear. My little piddly $250k house wont' get me far lol

Good afternoon - been busy as all get out here, and nothing seems to get done. All a bunch of little junk and everyone wants it now. Pretty outside here again today but muggy, rain due this evening or early in the morning. Not much else happening here, ya'll have a good day.
