Good gosh if that's the worst we're ever called it'd be more like a compliment. After all old age ain't for sissies!

I think most of us are okay with gently pokes all in fun...........

I shouldda known better a little off my game after the Irish Wake still hungover and that was Tuesday night. Back to the business of the Bronco I have question of course..... While son was attempting to pull off steering wheel the 2 long bolts in the middle one of them snapped off in the hole. Is this something that happens and can be replaced easily??? It was rented from OReillys.

i got an interesting phone call last night as i was leaving the funeral parlor.
the boss wanted to know if i could work today. yup, i said. "ok, be in sandy hook for 7 am". look for the equipment
this is Sandy Hook NJ, a Federal Park.

i get there to find out he "sold me" to his brother in law for the next few weeks.
seems he felt bad there was no work, and i have been struggling to make ends meet.
so he set me up with a cake job. 10 hr days, 7 days per week. AT $65 PER HOUR BASE PAY!!! ot is 1 1/2 after 8 and Saturday, and double time on Sunday.
the guy i talked to said they are making $8000 per week before taxes.

i guess the money problems just dissipated.

Yeah this weekend will be much appreciated. Though I have a feeling it won't be ALL relaxing. I'm sure I will be needed for the bathroom renovation. Oh well.

pay bills.

Hey y'all, hope it's going good. My day yesterday was absolutely amazing, taking the truck mudding with a couple of friends and finishing the night up on a very high note. God I love my truck

Well today was... Messy. It was my first day riding with a plumber to go do jobs and the very first one was crawling under an old ladies house to clear a clog in her tub drain. We found out that her main line (where all the sewage, drains, and everything meets up to leave the property) was made of cast iron and very rotted. It leaked really bad and a lot of the plastic ground covering had puddles of sewage in it...

next after that was another crawl space but not nearly as dirty. There was dirt and dust but besides that I now have a bunch of bruises on my knees and elbows from crawling around and under insulation ducts. There was also a rotted pipe that we were there to fix that leaked water from the kitchen sink and that stuff smelled pretty bad. Otherwise today was ok.

^^^^ This is why I opted to become an electrician instead of a plumber... LOL...

I think I'd rather electrocute myself than deal with sewage...

My days are being spent dealing with little niggling issues before I leave Idaho - first was the thermostat housing/reservoir/thingy on the Ranger splitting in half - Now, I'm dealing with 30-year light sockets on my trailer that don't want to work - I took one of the tail lights apart and the ground wire is corroded so, I think that's where my problem is...
