GOOD MORNING---

If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four U.S. presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.

ANOTHER FINE FALL MORNING, 59 DEGREES, CLEAR AD CALM.

LEFT HARVEY AT THE SHOP TO CHECK OUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HOPE THIS IS NOT ONE OF THESE OFF AND ON PROBLEMS YOU CANT DIAGNOSE TILL IT BLOWS UP.

MEANWHILE, THE TOMATO IS OUT AND IT'S TOP DOWN WEATHER :-)

TIME TO LET THE DOG RUN---

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.

Time is closing in fast on our cruise Oct 15th. Broke out the suitcases. Sue's trying desperately to save the kittens. Out of 6 3 have passed. She has been bottle feeding them kitten formula. She brought one that was struggling to the vet this morning and it died in his hands. Didn't charge Sue anything. They do a lot of visits gratis for her bedcause they know she is active in animal rescue. Interestingly she cries when one dies. Yesterday in the back yard Schatzie, the rottie mix, trapped a rainbow agama (lizard) with her paw. When she lifted the lizard ran and Sue stomped on it's head and killed it. I asked Sue why she killed the lizard and she said " I'll kill every one of those bastards." They're invasive. There is an iguana in the back yard that just looks at me and doesn't run when I'm in the back yard. I call him Iggy. Iggy Pop. These poor critters didn't ask to be here. They're here because of irresponsable pet owners that either set them free or they escaped. Now they're everywhere. Morning and evening temps here have been nice.


Here is a pic of Sue feeding a kitty.

...yeah we don't have no lizards roaming around up here... something about the winter that is not good for dem.

Went over and took my CDL physical today and passed it. So I'm good to go for another year....

Rode the bike over and it was a bit chilly this morning but had my coat and stuff on.....

working on the greenhouse this afternoon..... won't be long until the freeze warnings start up....

keep chugging along Guru's.....

All the kittens have died. They were really sick and the vet put the last two down this afternoon. Sue of course was very sad about it. I didn't have as much emotionally invested. Not that I'm pleased with it either.

Hey guys, been a busy few days here. Trying to catch up from the days we took off last week. Monday, I went out to hang kitchen cabinets for a lady building an addition on her daughters' house. Base cabinets were in but Home Depot has no idea where thee uppers are or when they might show up. But the countertop guys are coming to measure Friday, so I had to get the base in, and then modifying and adding in a cabinet to the end of the base run. Built a custom countertop for the bathroom and a small cabinet to go underneath. Also, the chest of drawers I started a couple weeks back, got some attention today. Built the drawers, dovetailing the fronts/backs and sides. Getting close to finishing the construction of that.

Weather has been warmer than normal, Sunday and Monday, today much cooler and it started off this morning drizzling. Going to be cool tonight, lows in the upper 40s, highs in the mid 70s the next few days.

Sorry about the kittens, Tommy. Glad you're fit, Marc. Hope the Check Engine light is an easy fix, Gris.
