Good morning, rained overnight a good amount 71 going to 85 today

Had to get up early because Cody wanted to get out.

Plans for today are flexible. Likely work out and walking Cody. String trimmer work some wood stacking again and if grass dries out some mowing

Your only on the other end of Route #4 from us,

Little over 150 miles round trip almost over nighter way I drive.

Hope today rain doesn't cause any more problem for you folks.

Relaxing steady pace.

Good Morning
67 and won’t see 80 today. Line of showers passed through before 5am, leaving.28” behind. Chance of more today, and then a decent weekend.

Yesterday reminded me why I’m still doing this instead of retiring. The people that we picked up in Martha’s Vineyard brought us a very nice gourmet lunch, which we enjoyed much more than the convenience store wraps that we had brought with us. We are very lucky to have the nicest clients (of course it’s because I fired all the ones that weren’t). But it makes it fun instead of work, and allows me plenty of time in the shop and on the tractors.
The pickup of the other plane went well, and I was home early enough to make some progress on the Transit Connect projects. The only thing left is to finish the radio and backup camera install, the harness for the radio is all done and it works, have to run the wires to the back for the camera, and find a source for the reverse sensing to activate it. Worse case scenario would be a connection at the back up lights run forward with the video cable.

Today is back to Martha’s Vineyard with the same people we picked up yesterday. Then hopefully finish the Transit Connect. Nothing else planned for the day, but that should be enough.

I replied “I know — I am calling to say Thank you. My vehicle thanks you, my kidneys than you, my back fillings thank you. And thank the crew for getting it done so quickly.”

Stunned silence. Then,

”nobody ever thanks us.”

Most times a little thanks goes a long ways!

Morning all, 69 going up to 84, light rain.
retrieved one of the Ash plank benches to refinish and add metal legs and started sanding it down. It's been outside for 2 years, so it needs an overhaul.
Too hot and too much day job to do much else, do need to clean up garage as it is getting messy.
Have Yellow Jackets nesting by rear sliding door, so need to hit them with tempest before they get us.

Happy anniversary Phil!

Back to work, more people are leaving..what is it about a rudderless ship?

Be well,

Especially since the next thing she said was “All we ever get is complaints.”

I think I found one light enough and cheap enough
seems to get good reviews and I don't need speed or long range
and it even has an optional seat with a little back support
