Good morning!!!!

[mostly_gas]

Good evening all. 75F this morning, overcast, light wind. Looked like rain all day, showers got with a few miles, but no rain. Overcast all day moderate wind and high temp of 88F. Board of directors meeting recap this morning, Irrigation guy showed up, had 2 zones not working, control modules needed replacing, went to stepdaughter's house and watered plants, needed to clean my work bench but not enough starting energy. Have some bike maintenance to do as well. Starting and ending photos. No photo of my workbench as it looks like Buckeyes's dad's workbench:ashamed:
Don nice workbench
Did get caught up today reading posts :dance1:
Prayers for all.

Warm mix is asphalt that is injected with water based additives. It is acceptable to VDOT and as such pollutes less and the smell associated with asphalt is almost nonexistent. The additives added are water based and the binder (asphalt cement) is thinner allowing for cooler temperatures to be used. The end result is that the mix may be hauled further and compaction of the mix is easier to achieve. Most plants locally have the ability to produce warm mix. Price is the same, hopefully this helps

How's the durability of the warm mix compared to traditional asphalt, Buppies?

The experts say better performance and has been used successfully in Europe for a number of years. Personally because of the the binder used now multi grade vs what was used in the 70s and 80s single grade all mixes are not as good nor as long lasting but I am stuck in the past and opinions are like you know what mine included.if you want to know more pm me and I will answer as best that I can

In direct answer to your question I notice no difference between warm mix and hot mix as to its performance

Made pretty good progress today


But still time consuming sort and purge of screws, nuts, bolts, nails, etc. wish I had the organizers I’ve ordered from HF, but at least I can do a course sort for now.



Did manage a dump run and get the dog area cut. All in all a good day

Have a great day, prayers sent for all in need. Ed

It's cool in Texas with lots of rain. That's unusual...another hot day here though, but with thunderstorms all day predicted, a little cooler than yesterday's scorcher. 78 on thermometer at 5am, so not starting cool at all.

Hope you all have a good day.
