the pics coming in from the indonesian Ruang volcano eruption are very cool
they had to evacuate all 800 residents off this tiny island and took them to island
next door, where stuff is still coming down on their heads.
what a view to watch across the water

Good Morning Bill,

Bill, one just closed not far from here last year ! Have gone a number of times !
Too bad, nothing lasts forever!

Based on our experience when we last went a couple of years ago I’m not at all surprised they would have some restaurants closing.

Good Morning
47° and grey. Not supposed to change much, but no real rain forecast.

Yesterday we did get the welder loaded up and moved, but didn’t weld the hitch on the excavator, as my buddy wasn’t feeling great. Continued with Fusion lessons, it’s slowly coming together, at least in 2D with simple extrusions making the part 3D.

Wife was cleaning the barn out in preparation for shearing next week, I had to pull the carryall out of the mud with the tractor were she got it stuck. So I hauled 5 carryall loads of hay/pine shavings to the brush pile in self defense. Zoe was helping, but not much help.

Met with the electrician about my addition, it’s going to interesting having other people do what I have always done myself. I think that he was actually glad to have my input, when I suggested how I would get the cable from the existing panel to the proposed sub panel for the “old folks home”. At least he knows what he will have to put up with now.

Spent a bit more time with Fusion, went and looked at a display freezer that had a bad compressor, I pronounced it dead, rather than fixing it due to its age.

Finished the day with an airport authority meeting.

You can keep the red ear sliders and snappers.

Kyle, why did you prefer the box turtles? We had a 10" red ear slider show up in our pond two years ago. Two winters ago there was 4 feet of snow on the ground yet it survived somehow?

Good morning all, today will be a good day to burn debris piles. 43F going to a sunny 70F.

Hope everyone has a great day !!!!!

Last time I was at red lobster I was still in High school.
Could always get much better seafood, pretty much anywhere for less money.
Not sure why they are still in business.

Paul, when I helped the pool guy with my multiple sub panels, reduced his stress. I am sure your contractors will love not having to investigate all the bits you already know.

Got email from my email provider that my DNS records were changed yesterday. Wasn't by me, so been on chat with my DNS provider to find out why. They couldn't give a good reason, says it was a bug in the system..... Should have it corrected now, but delayed my day.
Heavy fog early, now getting better. need to go, will catch up later.

Restaurants in CA have it especially tough.

Minimum wage is $20/hr. Add taxes, etc on top and a dishwasher or person bussing tables costs an employer $50,000/year.

Glad I am not in that business ... more closings are coming.

That $20 wage applies to chains not small franchises or Mom and Pop eateries. So, MacDonalds yes, Lily's Steak House or local diner, no

I had 4 meetings with the lawyer and 3 with the accountant going through my moms estate. It cost a lot but was very helpful. The estate-sale people were the best for liquidating the household/garage/barn items. Hopefully This year we can close everything out.
Just work on one item a day or a week and they will slowly be resolved. I was overwhelmed several times and just had to step back for a few days.
I was thinking I was moving too slowly but the lawyer was encouraging when she said that she has never seen anyone get as much done so quickly as I did.

Good for you.

I have a gold digger involved. Someone whom I never met, nor did my father talk of them (to me). And they produced a will.

My tours in Saudi Arabia, it rained mud. At least once a year.

Dubai, I hear it was self inflicted, cloud seeding.
