owwww grab some aloe if you have it from a plant, if not get from suntan lotion aisle at the store, or in pharmacy dept, they have aloe liquid and gel and cool (not cold) compresses 20 mins
In my tire search I've stumbled upon one I think better, it's commended for it's wet grip which I'm needing

Good morning, still raining here, whoever sent it can have it back now I'm done.
Pool repair crew due over tomorrow, so there goes my weekend. Fighting with pool company also over hole in liner that was their fault and repairs, not treated well last couple of years. I work for them also doing some design for wraps here and I always try to do my very best. Will be searching for another company.
Gris, my guy at home is the senior master-ASE at our local dealer, but the service writers just give tickets to whoever. If it's a Corvette or a diesel truck they try to give to him, if it's anything serious. He has most of the same equipment at home so he can work at the house or at any location (travels). He's the "night mekkie" at a few of the shops around here, keeps a full schedule.
I need to get some tires ordered pretty soon and am not in the best spot on my budget at the moment. Also I'm not one to spend $$$ on a tire's name, I look at the specs and compare. I have found these and they seem to be customer rated fairly well, anyone try them?

Fuel odor I'm told is an issue with Corvettes. Arron's had a few in there for that. Also the airbag light on models such as mine. Easy fix under the front seat but it's a bulletin.
I won't take a dead dog to a dealer for repair as you have no idea who will be on it. Plus, given the fact I live with one, I do know that if you drop it off, someone else who comes in to "wait" will get put ahead of you in line. That's wrong to me. He often gets involved with a serious repair such as having to R&R an engine, a dash pullout for something, injectors on diesels, etc only to be interrupted midstream for some jerk that wants to "wait". He finally has started telling them to kiss it and find someone else to work on a "waiter" as he's busy with someone else's already who isn't so stupid as to think you can "wait" on a major repair when they're all already busy on stuff that was in there ahead of time. Imagine being mid-stream in a dash pullout or engine R&R only to be pulled off it for 4-5 other odd and end things then try to figure out where you left off at in the engine R&R 2 days later...

Good afternoon, rainy here - makes for a great day to stay home and sleep with the doors and windows open. However, I must work to pay bills therefore here I sit.
Working on a "covered wagon" as it's called for a local turfgrass company. Canvas type 53' trailer so I'm doing the design for the sides, trailer factory will print and install on their material.
Hope everyone has a good day

Morning y'all. Back at the grind today. Hoping for a slow day, it's dark and gloomy here today would be a great day to stay home and sleep. I was out like a dead rock when the alarm went off.
Had a nice drive home, he missed a turn or something and we ended up on a pig trail and 2-hour detour. Found a nice little flea market I liked, as well as some twisty, winding smooth and well-banked roads. We decided next time up if we aren't hauling anything we'll take the same drive and bring the Vette.
Had a good visit and got everything done on his '68 he needed for now, but he's gotten mad at it so now he's back to wanting to sell it. He's also selling the Apache truck project and a couple others to save for a C7. Of course, he wants a yellow one to match the rest of his stuff
Y'all have a good day

Good morning from Tebbetts,MO.
Been here since late Friday night, came up to work on the 68 Vette then onto a ‘95 Rustang, brought up a Marlin Model 60 for him we picked up at home - none to be had here where they were. Snake shooter to keep in their side by side. Nice and peaceful here , did some flea market shopping .
Gris good luck on the hearing aids, Tommy glad Sue is ok. Vehicles can be fixed. Marcus good luck with the spinal solutions.

I imagine there's lots of parents that can relate to that adoption meme haha.
Marcus - those head/tailights - my gawwwww I need those, my Christmas list is getting longer by the day.
Beautiful out today, would be a perfect pool day, and here I sit in my office. will go home, get the house cleaned, and laundry caught up and be ready to head out tomorrow afternoon to Missouri. We'll be in Tebbetts, (near Jeff City/Columbia) if anyone is nearby.
Make it a good day ya'll

Nice job on the headlight deal. I need some also, mine are horrible. I've sanded and polished but they really need new covers or lenses or whatever the outside is.
I've also managed to inherit a like new C5 gloss black sold top I have no use for I need to list for sale.
Just got word at work the horrible customer lady I had issues with spoke to my owner yesterday and had an hour long rant about me, personally attacking me, saying I didn't know what I was doing, etc etc and just a horrific tirade. Claims she didn't hear from us on intall, etc when I have email chains proving otherwise. Also email chains where she continousy praised me. WTF. I am sick of humans at this point and think it best if I just gave up, sat home and drew a lazy check.

Good morning - beautiful day here again - hoping for a slow day at the office. I don't know what I got into during the deep clean of the garage but what ever dust, cobweb or whathaveyou I inhaled really has me feeling crappy. I remember this same feeling one time when I did a deep clean of the body shop. Something I'm allergic to in all that crud.
Tee - that work on the door looks tedious. I'd imagine that requires more patience in a day than I have in a lifetime. Nice work.
Gris, yes the dude was from a mugshot but it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw that snot sucker.
Hope everyone has a good day today

This comes to mind lol

At the office today, not much going on and I'm grateful.
Zero sleep last night and need to clean house and what not when I get home, and get stuff done. Supposedly headed back to Missouri this weekend to help Don with the 68 Vette then come back home Monday evening. So far the hit is that Arron will work with engine and wiring and I'll help with body/assembly - unless I can duck out and grab his wife and hit the junk stores. That sounds more up my alley.
And this thing:
Quote:
That looked quite scary - it "sucks" snot out? Wont' take my brain with it will it?
I'm still stuffy and lung congested. One of these days I'll learn to wear a mask when doing that kinda cleaning. Especially in shop or garage. Got dehydrated too, and all the dust is still aggravating my eyes making contact wearing difficult

Backup camera!!!! Yes I for sure need that with my history
What's an average total cost for all this? Looks pricey, and can I do it myself?
Where does the camera go? I need to poke a hole somewhere or is it exterior mounted?

Side note: I have all the original C5 Bose with cd changer that came out of my 2002 if someone needs it. It's sitting in my garage, I just found it. Had it listed for sale then forgot about it.

Good afternoon
Nothing here just my sinuses and mess trying to recover from yesterday’s garage cleanout. Stove up
Pretty day here n breezy might nap outside

Good evening ,
Beautiful here today, slept in wayyyy past my normal sleep-in, didn’t wake up till 10:30 after going to bed at 12. Reckon I needed it. Was overcast out so after coffee I emptied the garage, cleaned it out, put crap back, did laundry, went grocery shopping and made dinner. Having a protein shake for dessert. The garage fiasco (Windows, blinds n all) made me so worn out n seating so much I was shaking - empty stomach . Lesson learned.
Hope everyone had a good day
I need to change my rear blinker bulb. That’s what I went out in the garage to do in the first place. In My search for a bulb - squirrel- and I’m off on another path. At least it’s over with

Prayers for Sue, her mom and everyone with elderly
Beautiful day here, bout to get my second cup of coffee and see if there’s any motivation in it. Got stuff to do but just can’t get up off the couch
Have a good un

Good morning - up with no sleep again. Dire need of new mattress suggestions welcomed.
I hope my discussion with the senator yesterday yields changes also. A member of the online group said our governor is fully aware of our group and working for changes. BS on his part I’ll bet but he said he gets calls and letters daily. I’ve been adding to his pile. Talked with my former paper publisher to relay to any of his connections. Unfortunately the one who took his place and his crew are mostly non existent. That paper is bout to flop. Other avenues need to be pursued
Beautiful day here hoping for every to try to start a walking routine again since foot no longer hurts with that screw coming out. I tippy toed the first time on that one foot the other day, full body weight no pain.
Make it a good one

Kenwood mite be the ticket then . I can’t stand not having a basic function like Bluetooth. I’m sure it’d put out better sound also. I mite add that to my Christmas wish list

I did a thing just now and fingers crossed and prayers it has an impact.
You all know i care for a cousin in the nursing home and you guys have been faced with this issue yourselves.
I've also found myself in a "caregivers for compromise - isolation kills" facebook group where family members are rallying state by state for changes in visitation laws/procedures/legislation for skilled care long term faciliteis.
Florida just opened theirs with new outlined protocols, (pdf available) so good news there. Each state is trying.
Turns out I did a veteran's wrap design for a really nice man 7 years ago, not knowing who he really was, as I'd never met him before. Dave Wallace. For some reason, the bell didn't ring in my head.
He just came back into have it put on his new truck and the nursing home visitation subject came up. We discussesd. He asked for my cell, email, etc and handed me his card (SENATOR Dave Wallace) and his personal cell and instructed me to keep in touch with him as he is currenlty working with the DHS and was unaware of some of these issues. Was so excited! Hope good things come from it. Put a huge smile on my face.

Ok, I like that JBL unit for the rear hatch area.
Had no clue there was a tweeter in the dash??
Mine is the Nav unit w/siris XM
However - is there no way to bluetooth to this thing? I mean, I can get a $69 head unit at Wally world that will but a car with an original price tag of $74k didn't have it stock? WTH
There has to be a way around this

I have a 2012 GS Centennial.
I need a few things. I bought this rig to fix and sell but have found myself stuck with it due to some truck trading issues preventing me from parking/disassembling it for what I intended to do, so looks like a fixer/keeper.
I've not torn into the door panel but there's tons of replacements on ebay for $50ish, plus I have a guy around the corner here that sells salvage vette parts. I just really didn't want to pull out a door panel till I had a speaker in hand. Honestly, I think they both need an upgrade to handle bass and volume better.
Listings i find shows one unit, his part number pulls up something that other listings say go in different models not mine. I got confused so I'd rather see the thing myself prior, thus wondered if any GS owners ran into it yet.
I'll check out those links shortly

have any of you with a GS C6 needed to do this?
My passenger just blew, Arron told me what the part number was based off what they have at work and the price. No way I'm paying nearly $300 for a frickin' speaker. Solid nope. I'd rather get it off Esteal. But, I'm seeing two. The info he's giving me doesn't jive with what I see for others. Was wondering if any of y'all had torn into this and actually saw what was in there before I jumped out on a limb.

Oh my gaaahhhhh - ewwww
Adding that to my list

Gris I love that shirt also I need one of those.
Sunny and warm again today and here I am in an office with nothing to do. And, hopefully it stays like that, just not ready to be back full steam just yet.
I'd love to do solar at our house also especially for a pool pump and a pool heater, but not sure who in our area handles that. And naturally, our electric co doesn't offer any incentives, whereas others claim to let you have it darned near free.
Just saw the guy kissing pic, I think I'll skip my breakfast today. I'm also one of those who don't dig seeing men kiss but for women it somehow doesn't bother me as bad. It should. And here I am a woman so ...?

Quote:

I'm not old as some of you but am still old enough for this also.
I see doctors that look like kids, cops that don't look old enough to drive and so on. Makes me feel old.

Beautiful sunny day here, would love to be home in the peace and quiet of the yard. Will sit in the peace and quiet of the office and get paid. Hopefully it stays that way today.

Still trying to get a cell phone working for the one in the nursing home. They get free monthly service through a company called Qlink. You have to supply the unlocked phone. They didn't tell us about phone being unlocked, I took them an ATT one. They didn't tell THEM either. Phone I took them, according to ATT, has to have been "in service" for at least 180 days and was only used a couple months. Sounds like some BS. I mean it's not stolen so why the 180 days? Makes no sense. And cousin who gave me that one in exchange for my iPhone X has already broke the screen and then is yelling at me and blaming the tech place. Ugh. and she votes. I know what happened, she put it in her console by gear shift then set her butt in the seat and leaned up against it and cracked it. Easy to do. STill.

Good morning all, sorry about the hiatus, but tried to disconnect a bit from the world and absorb the outdoors around me. Back at work today, dreaded being here and wished I was rich enough to not have to. God puts too much stuff out there I still need to see and experience to be sitting all day in a box. Had coffee outside this morning and was admiring the peace and stillness, the hummingbirds, flowers - should do that way more often.
Marcus, sorry to hear of your back diagnosis. Please try to take care of this for yourself. This is what the cousin I have in the nursing home was diagnosed with. I hate to see anyone suffering. Same for you, Tommy - take care of yourself. All of you. And proud you are still not smoking. Don't restart. Sense of smell is great until you run up on an open sewer somewhere or someone farts in front of you in line My hip still hurts 3 years post surgery. I think however one, my body doesn't do well with internal hardware, two - my job requires me to sit all day which is the worst thing for a hip and three - at the triple incision site I think I have some scar tissue or something that's seriously affected my thigh muscle. All of it keeps my piriformis in a knot which twists my lower back thereby pinching my sciatic nerve and causing pain in the sacroilliac area. I can be walking and thigh muscle will just spasm and bout put me in the floor. Should've never had the hip surgery. Getting worse so there's an impendig doc visit. Need to exercise more to lose weight which also affects it but when it hurts to walk, then what? I do have good days and when I do I end up overdoing it. Happy Birthday to Sue also!
Had a good trip and enjoyed not working. He enjoyed not working on anything except holding down his lawn chair and drinking beer. This is the first time in his life I think he's been off work for a solid week for a vacation. Had surgery previously but that really wasn't a 'vacation'. I'm trying to get him to take more. My phone blew up while we were gone I ignored best I could. He got one call asking could he come work on something and he sent them back a photo of his feet in the sand with water in background, that settled that. We'll be back in Tebbetts, MO weekend after next. My old body shop friend/boss needs some mechanic help with the '68 Vette he's restoring for himself. I'll probably get roped into some sanding/scuffing, or assembly of some sort. He can't stand 'detail' type work, little bitty stuff so I figure he'll have me a pile waiting as well. I'd rather grab his wife and flea market. We'll see when we get there. We also have to deliver a rifle of theirs we have and pick up a groovy lava lamp they found for me while out shopping.
Hope everyone has a great day, cooler here some but still summer for all I'm concerned. Of course you see everyone rushing in the pumpkin spice mess already.

Marcus your place sounds like a nice vacation. Speaking of, been great here and am enjoying. He’s never had a true vaca but I’m trying to ease him into it. I want us to take more trips.

Sorry to hear about your pig, Tommy.
Beautiful where I’m at but I’m trying to find a quiet spot. Inviting friends was a bad idea.i like to get up and sit on balcony listening to waves in peace and quiet.and I don’t smoke, they do. I don’t like chatty patty crap first thing either. I finally came down to pool area for quiet clean air and peace. And I paid for the condo.
Alas it’s flooding at home though so at least my surroundings are better here.

Nice Monday here at Panama City Beach. Sunny and a bit windy but fine for sitting in the sun.
Our trip for two ended up being for 5, but there’s plenty of room in the condo, and we’re having a good time. . It was much needed. While we’ve been gone we managed to have an earthquake back home. Not had one as long as I can remember. 2020 for sure

Good morning-
Up early or still awake at 3:44 so went ahead and got dressed and loaded up to head south. Still left half hour late. Had the man not been trying to set up a Garnin and stall around about the house then not have to go to McDonald’s would’ve made more progress. I was ready to split, drink in hand , phone navigation set and headed for the drivers seat.
Oh well we’ll still get there just a lot slower with his driving lol.
Humid at home and heat advisory for 113 Index. Temp projected shows only 83. Not got that figured out

Heck we see all four seasons of the year in one day around here. Sometimes twice.
Marcus if you need rain I'm sure I'll have some for you this evening, you're welcome to all you can get of it.
Strange to hear Arkansas being under a "tropcial storm warning". But here we are. Due in this afternoon, hoping it waits till I get home.
Many prayers for those along the LA and TX coast that have suffered. It hurts my heart to see that. I can't imagine going through what they are going through.
Last day of work today until Sept. 8 and am looking forward to being off. Not looking forward to the beach vaca I booked having rain every single day. Trying to stay positive as best as I can.
However - our nursing home just sent a text that an employee tested positive - third one. And a mere week from visits, here we are again, with a 28-day extension for no visits. This has to end. They go from place to place to work, shop, visit others, you name it and only have to submit to a temp scan and mask to enter and touch and be with our family. Why can't we? Makes no sense at all. Me and an employee just discussed this yesterday and they felt it was borderlining on elder abuse. I agree. And I've put a rant on FB and have someone who doesn't even work there being a total A$$ and C**T to me about it. I've tried to be nice to her, offering to discuss without hate and with understanding yet she's coming at me constantly with a hateful attitude. Sick of it. Need some friends to jump in and save me lmao.
Anyway, hopefully she'll take my hint and go mind her own business or just unfriend herself. I don't even know her or how she even got on my page.
Hope ya'll have a good day and get rain when you need it and manage to avoid it if you dont'

Snazzy ride there!
Overcast and looks like rain here today, humid but not as hot.
Tee - I seriously doubt we'll see any $ on the 'simple' job but I firmly believe he'll hit her for it. It's a $6,000 wrap all day every day and twice on Sunday but he quoted her very low due to the simplicity of what it was originally described for. She doesn't understand that each time she asks me to do something, whether or not she uses that design, it's still work that was requested. And we don't work for free. I just did her 4th "new" logo yesterday. I'm at least a grand past her original quote just on my time alone, nevermind all the materials and installation. AT this point I just want it out of here.

Glad you're home Tee.
Gris, prayers on the anniversary of your son's loss. I can't imagine.
Beautiful day here so far, I'm watching the weather, they tell us it will turn once on land and head straight for us. Southern part of the state due to get hammered, us hopefully not so much. I'm wanting to get to the beach and have a smooth, calm week.
Tee, the airstream lady is still in progress. She came up here and brought one of her 'friends' this time, who thinks they know my job better than me - whatever it takes to get her done. Now we're on her fourth logo rework. I have times and logs of conversations and hours, and one phone call I recorded about half of. She has approved her design for the wrap, so that is in the print que. I told her by email of that today and informed her that from this point forward she will be working with John, our owner as he takes care of scheduling and installations. I'd just as soon consider myself out of it.

Good morning. We're still in the 90s here, been very nice weather last week or so. Took yesterday for a pool break, minus the noon visit from Arron's brother to pick up the motorcycle of his that he's been rebuidilng. Got some yard work done this weekend and some other things. Gathering up stuff for our vaca at PCB. What started off as a "just us" trip has been epanded to include two of my other friends and a fiancee to one of them. Oh well, so long as Arron can have HIS vaca and peace and quiet he's all good. The fiancee's of my friends will bring booze, others will bring some snacks, and what not.
Hope everyone has a great day ahead

Have a safe trip, Tee.
Tommy - wishes of safety and minimal damage on the stawm. I hope all that mess has blown through before I head down. Of course I'm not going as far as you are - wish I was, preferrred keys but not this trip.
Beautiful day here again today, would love to be home but that's tomorrow. Hoping it's nice then, too. Sometime this weekend I'd like to get out and get all our trip goodies gathered so they're ready. I need to buy a small plastic tub to hold blanket, pillows and then put snacks and what not in one of my other bags. Due to COVID stuff, you dont' get blankets on your bed. And, our "just us" trip has turned into a week for 5 it's looking like. A couple of friends want to come along.
I shared one of those things on FB, a little game of song titles, and now it's got me in the mood to pilfer through my song list on my phone. Made me think of some things I'd not heard in a while:
Ok music lovers — Here are the rules:
Answer each category with a song title. No repeats and don’t use the internet (it's tempting but try not to). Go with the first song that comes to mind or fill in your favorites, change the answers to your own (can’t steal mine) and repost.
This was harder than I expected! (I added artist but not required)
* Something to Wear - Devil With A Blue Dress On
* Something to Drink - Gin and Juice
* A Place - Born in the U.S.A.
* A Food- Polk Salad Annie
* A Number - Can't Drive 55

Which was the most difficult?: boy name

Well appaerently the creator of the universe hates me and wants me to not take a vaca for the third year in a row.
Just booked it this week for PCB and naturally, in all 2020 splendor - TWO tropical storms at the same time headed where I am. Not happened since 1959. Figures.

Once in a while you'll see some around here. The local hot rod club gets theirs out and runs around town, etc, sometimes we gather as a group. I have a pic somewhere of all of us in the Sonic, I ought to make a black and white of it.
Good thing I'm not rich, I see a lot for sale I'd like to have

Beautiful here again today, would be a nice day to be home. Fingers crossed for a slow day at work. Still no approval after the ladies with the airstream left yesterday. They emailed me several tiny revises then after last one sent, nothing. Owner is mad, so am I and sick of it already. Ready for it to go.
Hope everyone has a great day nothing much happening here

Actually it's been absolutely awesome weather here last few days. No rain which has the farmers a tad annoyed but I water my plants, go on about my mess and carry on as usual.
The guys have the air jacked in here and my passthrough door open to help them out so I actually have been sitting over here in a jacket.
Congrats on the jobs you two!
And - about that 'narrative' - oh I've got plenty of 'narrative' the boss heard, and he passed along some of it to her. She's due in here at 11am to "finish" this thing. I suspesct I'll be missing lunch and probably dinner, and it still won't be to their liking. She likes bold, dark things and her wife likes pinks and such. Hard to please a couple like that. Besides them, the worst I get is when a man comes in for a wrap for his business then at the end says "Let me show my wife". I know right then it'll be an issue. Just send her to start with. I finally told one guy that so he did and it was done, over and approved and sent to print in less than an hour. This is coming from a woman but often "wives" are what gives me headaches lol. One poor dude came in here, prepaid for some giant thing he wanted on his hood. He was so happy! Then on the way out he calls the "wife" to tell her and I swear I could hear her hollering at him on the phone from my office. He came back in and asked for a refund, said his wife ordered him to and he looked like a beat up dog. Bless his heart, I felt sorry for the dude.
Anywho, have the vaca booked, we're just doing one we can drive to right now, PCB. And I will never go through Emerald Coast vaca whateveritis again. Wanted to go to Miami or the Keys but stuff has kept us from going till now and it's a last minute plan. Leaving out the 29th.
If anyone is close - holla

good afternoon - seems I've missed a lot. Had my mind everywhere but here and one other forum I visit. Too much on the brain lately. Happy birthdays, Happy Anniversarys etc.
Trying to gather up things to "automate" the environment for the nursing home one. She got a covid check and was allowed to keep it, so I have until April to spend it on suff for her. She's got a new 40" smart tv, getting an eco dot for Alexa, a wireless plug for her lamp to work with alexa, etc and a mobile phone to run it all off of. Won't be perfect but will make things easier for her since her eyesight isn't as great anymore. I'll stock her up with socks, snacks, sodas, shampoo, deodorant and whatever else she wants with what's left. I just have to maintain receipts.
From the looks of it everyone has been busy including me.
Still dealing with the problem customers on the airstream that caused me an anxiety attack. She will be here tomorrow at 11. I just need to fall off the planet that day. I just pray I can bite my tongue and make her happy and get it over with. I'm off to PCB for a week the 29th. Can't wait.

Plenty of job complaints here on my end!
But, tomorrow is my Friyay so it can all do what it wants till Tuesday.
Off topic, anyone use the iPhone 11 Pro Max? I just picked up a used one from the tekkie owner next door. I've not had a phone that large and was sick of my iPhone X. Plus I'm swapping it to my cousin, getting her 7 and nursing home providing SIM for free service for her and then I'm setting it up for her with Alexa to command lamp, tv and make phone calls. Her eyesight is getting worse and this will automate things for her some.

Mornin,
I've caused a couple of Corvettes to have a similar appearance. Not all my fault but puckered em up nonetheless. Between the C4 and C5 I'd say the C4 fared well better with a much harder hit from both front and rear at the same time. C5, not so much with a way lighter front tap.
Not interested in finding out about the C6 if I can help it.
A little warmer here today than yesterday and by the weekend it will be hot.
Power company is partnered with another company and fiber line is being installed along my street. Whatever they're doing the cut the power just as I was going out the door this morning. Just about to raise the garage and bam, nothing. I'm thinking I'm stuck here and he took the truck this morning so I can't go out that way either. Remembered the door will go up once after power outage, tried it and sure enough - I made it out, and the door even closed back . I doubt there's enough power to reopen it. Hope they have it back soon I called.
This fiber internet would be great except after ruining all our yards to put the shit in they want a $500 connection fee. I'm pretty sure nobody else in town will have to pay that, just us. Unless of course we sign a FIVE YEAR contract. Nuts.
Hope everyone has a great day

I'd like to be taking a ride to Key West. And preferably not behind someone going 10 under the limit like the last time. I got excited when I started seeing passing lane ahead signs.

Tee, so sorry you have to deal with people like that. "older spoiled brats" I call them.
I'm having one at the moment also. The couple of ladies I'm doing the airstream wrap design for. They have a logo, "Black Widow 870" but then had no clue on wrap design. I have to have some idea to get me in the right direction. I mean I can literally go a million ways with these things. They decide on a cartoony, hippy vibe looking stream, landscape, trees and such scene. I'm in this 34 hours so far. They were given a low quote based on "something simple and fast". It's been anything but. Very indecisive. Now, week before last, they both came and stayed an hour apiece to 'tweak' things and see this and that. I really don't have time for that , they need to make up their mind. I printed off their designs for them to look at over the weekend and was assured they'd get to me Tuesday with their decision and said they're pretty much done at this point. Good, I'm sick of looking at it. I'd like to plan a vaca but this is holding me up. Anyway - I never heard back. The design time in this already exceeds their total quote. It's a 28ft airstream. Install will be a crank too.
I email them to ask wth and they reply they're glad I checked on them and they feel that in looking at what they are at, they're simply trying to do something that isn't going to work with their logo and name, and we just need to start all over at this point with something totally different.
I"m sorry, what??? These take time to do, time that's billed out at $65 per hour. I'm hesitant to even start messing with it to keep me from having more time in there. They speak highly to me in appreciation of my patience and such, but I really think they have no grasp of time involved . The one that came in here that wears the pants in the household so to speak, saw that day what all I was having to do just to do the "small" things she asked for. They aren't so "small" in actual vector or raster image adjustment. She was shocked and made comments on how difficult it all appeared to be when she thought it was simply click and go. Nope.
I swear people watch too much CSI. Sh*t ain't that easy.
Anyway, I've just finished up another trailer for a mattress sales dude that was just like Tee's customer. I came >>this close<< to just refunding his deposit and asking him to leave.
On a brighter note, its' been a nice, comfty 80 around here last couple of days, temps slowly climbing though, left doors and windows open last night for the cool breeze and save on air costs. Mite ask bf to take us for a bike ride after work to enjoy it.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Best wishes to yours Tommy for quick healing and recovery

Grey skies here, we e been due rain for days but barely get any. Received some last two nights. Skeeters by the plenty. My spraying is not helping this year thus far. Slept late today and considering going back to bed but I hate “missing a day” so to speak.,
Hope everyone has a good weekend

Great news Tommy! And best of luck during the storm. I guess that's where our rain here is coming from, Isaias.

Comin up a cloud here and bout to stawm later.
Not storm , but STAWM as in a throw down with it raining cats and dogs as my mom would say.
Slow day at the office and can't wait till it's over. For the last three days I've wanted to do nothing but sleep. Either it's due to me running my hiney off for the last 2 weeks or the impending weather or hormones or all of it. But, if it rains Saturday like it's supposed to I have a whole day scheduled for nothing but sleep.
Tommy, any word? Prayers continued.

Marcus if she'd have come any closer to me I honestly think I would have. And yes, it would've been worth it.
I'd prefer to have shopped other places, but it is nice to get all the things I need in one spot. Kroger would've worked also but things end up costing more there, and was trying to get shampoo and such for the cousin in the nursing home and she has a certain one she likes so I try to accommodate her.

I don't have that thing in my head to control my mouth sometimes either. Case in point was in Walmart last night.
Busy day at work, ended up doing some assembly in production room, no insulation, no air - hot sweaty mess. Then later ended up cleaning up and picking up vinlyl pull offs, backing rolls you name it around here - again hot and sweaty all over. Then to the store, then to cousins to pay for yard mowing at other cousin's then home to pull weeds till dark, then laundry then suppper then in bed at midnight up at 6.
The "store" trip was Walmart and people using handicapped spaces when not handicapped is a huge pet peeve of mine. I recall my mother, a mere month from dying, telling me of trying to shop at walmart for something she needed and couldn't find a space. Some lazy ass was in one instead and her with heart failure and operating capacity barely functional it was all she could do just to walk, nevermind that far. So to me it's personal.
anyway, I was texting my cousin on the way in and had stopped short of the door, and saw this lady pass a nice spot and pulled into the handicapped one. No issue, then I saw the back of the car - no HC tags. I waited. No HC plaquard hung on mirror either. She bounces out, cuts in front of me in line, can walk way better than me. Ends up she backs up to get out of someone else's way and in doing to backed into my card. I apologized for being in her way then said "now that I at least do have your attention, just to let you know, people like my mother could've used that spot you took that you didn't need." She proceeded to holler at me at the top of her lungs, called me ignorant over and over. Said she had a HC license plate. I told her "no you don't" and then she said she had a hang tag "no you don't" I replied. She then said " well my 91 year old mother is in there!" I said "so you left an elderly person in a hot car outside? " She says "the air is on!" - I said "lady I have photos, nobody is in your car and you have not HC tags period, you're just lazy". She followed me halfway over the store hollering at me at the top of her lungs. I just told her to f*K off and go on her way. And if she did have someone in her car then she should have used a regular spot since the handicapped passenger is neither driving nor walking in the store - let someone else who NEEDS it have it. I swear I hate people. And yes, I had photos I told her so that really made her mad.
Hoping for a better day today

I can relate to the anger and never ending phone.
Medicaid renew finalized, nursing home owes us a credit, and she did get a Covid check and she IS allowed to keep it. Has to be spent within a year of receiving it and I have to keep all receipts for her on it to submit next year. I'm just now finding out so she needs to get her shopping list in order. Had a busy weekend, unexpected trip to Nettleton Miss with a friend then late getting back, tried to take Sunday off and we were in the pool then a ride on the new (to us) Harley. Kinda rough where I sit but it has some kind of air up seat and air shock thing on it we can try to figure out.
Continued prayers Tommy for you and all your family and especially for a successful surgery.
Busy day at the office again and more to do when I get out of here this evening.
Yall take care.

Good morning - VERY humid here today. 40% chance all week, so far sprinkles here and there, enough to keep me from having to water stuff.
Still working with the ladies on the airstream. seeems one likes it and the other doesnt. They are about to find out having me constantly go back and forth on this design is $65 an hour. They were given a low quote based on a "simple" design. This has been anything but. And, I have 14 other projects to be working on, I can't shut shop down just for one.
Alas, it's a new day and hopefully a better one than yesterday.
